Queen Rania of Jordan said today that moderate Muslims were not doing enough to fight against IS jihadists and their "diabolical ideology."
Speaking at a major French business gathering in Jouy-en-Josas near Paris, the 44-year-old said helping the Middle East's youth was crucial in the fight against the extremist group, which controls swathes of Iraq and Syria on Jordan's doorstep.
