From Basim: "1. Muslims are de facto extremists unless stipulated
otherwise.
2. Members of the Syrian armed kidnapping gang with
whom I met are moderates.
"That’s what they’re saying. Come on.
Of course they’re Muslims, but they’re moderates and I guarantee you
that they are moderates. I know them and I've been with them. For someone to say
'Allahu Akbar' is about as offensive as someone saying 'thank God.'"
