many people think of white supremacy as the kkk and hoods and neonazis and far right armed militia groupsupremacy is centering whiteness and devaluing that which is not white. >> historically, white men have been the biggest terrorists in thunited states of america. >> see, those are looked at as anomalies. the assumption is they're mentally sick. when it's muslims, we want to flip the script and reframe things. >> what makes you want to live here? >> this is home and this is very comfortable. you know, dr. king once said that 12:00 on sunday is america's most segregated hour in america. well, the friday prayer time in this muslim community is the most integrated. we have a nice community here. >> well, thank you, brother, for talking to me. i appreciate it. now you got a lot of food to eat. much of the food in the area is permissible. even though common sense goes against it, i'm headed to see how the sausage gets made. okay. more like where the meat gets made. damn. now i'm hungry. >> these are some of the products that we have. these are lamb products over here. this is ribs right here
