On Google Maps I noticed a building labeled the “Aga Khan Museum” in Toronto, which sparked the question. Ismaili Muslims are supposedly the second-largest sect of Shi’a Islam, but I know little to nothing about them. Brief glances at the profile of its most prominent leader, Aga Khan IV, reveal portrayals as a rich philanthropist that has funded various public works, mostly in Muslim countries, and who had close ties to the Western establishment.
