[on his documentary Koran by Heart (2011)]: For me, it all comes down to education. If we were making a film about evangelical Christians memorizing the Bible, and that's all they did, we'd be troubled by that. With regard to Islam, we have a problem with that narrow approach, which can lead to extremism and, in the worst cases, to terrorism. As long as they're getting a broad education, their religion is their own business."
