This with a backdrop of the fight against ISIS and the controversial anti-terrorism bill.
Syed Soharwardy is the founder of Muslims Against Terrorism and the leader of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada. This week, he issued a fatwa against ISIS. He says the current political rhetoric is not helpful.
