I haven't been able to find the film online yet. Hopefully it's available soon.

Muslims around the world have also been producing a series of comedy satire videos mocking ISIS, but I think most weren't in English, as is the case for a lot of the resistance going on. I'm just north of Indonesia and south of Malaysia, and there's been a lot of outrage from Muslims in the region against what ISIS is doing, so it surprised me when I heard people criticise moderate Muslims for staying silent. They're not silent, they're really mad.

Yeah, I know. It's weird that people think that, but it's probably simply that that that sort of thing isn't reported on the news and therefore cannot possibly be real. [none]

And also that they're scared of Muslims and don't dare speaking to any or knowing any in their daily lives. Etc.
