I've never looked at it that way actually, but that's a good point.
I guess because radical Muslims are so stigmatized in North America, the moderates natural reaction is to stay clear of people like my friend. I mean the first thing that went on in my head when my buddy started going crazy was "Stay away from this dude, there's no need to be blacklisted by CSIS"
