Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Ramalingam, I'd like to start with you. Thank you for joining our committee today.
You were talking about the focus on al Qaeda and Daesh. I'm going to assume that is because over the last couple of decades with those two groups and their perverse interpretation of Islam and their barbaric ways of enforcing that interpretation, there were very clear and worrying growth trends in both of the ideologies. Is that right? I'm assuming that's why we had the focus on them.
