I’ve had some slight dealing with Zeid bin Ra‘ad al-Hussein, including a memorable dinner with him and then-Senator Bob Bennett (R-UT)  at a home near Washington DC.  He is a very measured, intelligent man; if he takes this report seriously, I certainly do, too.

 

And, before some of the anti-Muslims out there begin explaining how this demonstrates all Muslims to be evil, may I point out that most if not all of the victims of ISIS in this case (as in so very many others) are themselves Muslims?
