The last refugee camp that we went to was a mixed refugee camp, which means that we met as well with some of the Muslim families who had been affected. I can tell you that, yes, the moderate Muslims who are peace-loving Muslims are affected as well because I believe that ISIS doesn't know religion. That's truly my belief. The fact that ISIS now is fighting with the Kurdish government, or Kurdistan, of which the majority are Sunni Muslims—they're the same, they're not Shias—shows you that they don't care of what belief you are. However, I will point out strongly that the biggest dilemma facing Islam today, as a faith and as a belief, is not the rising of the extremists but the silence of the moderate Muslims. I will point out that the moderate Muslims today should play a bigger role in fighting these extremists and in showing the world if this is true Islam or not true Islam. Sadly, what I am seeing is the moderate Muslims in Canada, and elsewhere, in Iraq and in the United States, are very silent. I believe this is a very weak point on their side.
