I don't want Islam in my country, not because I hate them but because religions have their own set of moral principles and beliefs, Islam is clearly not compatible to our secular system. I'm not religious myself and I live in the west coast where there are few muslims, but just based from the discussions I've had with transfer students that come to my university I already don't like what I hear. They were nice, kind of, but all of them had backwards ideas. If you need a better reason to be against it, simply read the first few pages from the Quran, it is deplorable, more so then the bible. \n\nIf they want to integrate, their beliefs need to be reformed like Christians have centuries ago.

Bless Harper! the man had balls and that's what this country, hell, the whole West needs to face this pervasive invasion

My advice to all Muslims convert to Christianity... You need to accept the Lord Jesus Christ because without Jesus Christ you will NOT enter heaven.....

Black, white, Hispanic people all agree that Muslims need to go.

Niqab is a Culture thing nothing to do as a religion , we need somebuddy to Translate Qurhan in a Reall meaning of it , in Qurhan Said if somebuddy Steals or rob something make his hand short , but those Guys to Control people translated to cut stealer hands buruk its not the the right or true meaning , the true meaning to help him to not rob or steale again

Afo- American is a nation with in America . we were up rooted and planted . just dont go where you are not wanted is the message. Who needs the headaches.

Well guess what, the world needs to quarantine the disease of Islam before it consumes everything.

Why would anyone hire a Muslim? Anyone who believes in religious nonsense and need imaginary beings to steer their moral compass is dangerous and gullible, Islam is by far the worst and is a cult of oppression and pedophilia stuck in the iron age making as much sense as living life according to Harry Potter books.

I thought the people holding signs saying The End Is Near where crazy, but obviously not because the Devil has come in the guise of the Islamic Extremists, we are all in this or the end will be sooner than we think unless, well we all know what needs to happen.

left winger terrorists destroying Canada like they destroyed Europe. politician need to be hanged. But Trudeau the traitor wagging his tale front of muslims for vote. traitors become politicians now.

I've sat back and waited for events like this to happen. Muslims go back to your country and stay the hell out of Canada. Canada shows you kindness and put you guys in hotel rooms till we can have the PROPER housing FOR YOU, and while you are there you tear up the bible in your hotel room. IS that how you show your thanks to us? Listen if you have a problem with the bible give it back to the hotel, the bible doesn't belong to you to do as you please with it...I stand by what I have been saying, they need to go...Fuck all Muslims go back to your country where that behaviour is acceptable.

Why is there anti-Islamic sentiment in EVERY country now in 2016, but it's never the Muslims fault? I mean...if everyone hates you, how is it anyone's fault but yourself? Islam is a cancer. It's a cult of death. Islam needs to die already. End of story.

Even without terrorism, Islam is fucked up. Most religions need to go away

islam is 80% extremist ... they cannot compromise the situations... r still conservatives... wearin nekab is not the prob but many people commit crime hidin behind the nekabs as its not transparent.... as in modern world they need to evolve ... religion was made to guide people the love and peace bt people now have took it to another level.... n yess 20% who r liberal r facing the prob of being muslim .. being harassed etc... n lastly muslim country have conflicts btw themself... like iraq-kuwait( fueled by U.S) ,syria etc... n the nice muslim countries like dubai calls them mujahir( immegrent) n dnt allow them...

Muslim control of Canada is inevitable. I just hope that they are fair to non- Muslims when they get political control. Canadians voted for Trudeau and he promised Muslims, so Canadians need to stop whining.

Anti-Islam thoughts a growing concern? How about the spread of these backward misogynist Arabs into Western countries a growing concern? Typical left-wing media never addressing viewers needs.

They seriously need to ban the hijibs and burkas. I don't feel comfortable with them walking around. I feel like i am living in the middle east. just like kids can't wear pants down to their knees. I think it needs to be banned so they can blend better into the USA culture.

My sociologist professional said that Salman Rushdie need to be killed. She was a muslim woman when i took her class in the 90's. i was young at that time and did not say anything against her wish and the rest of the classmates were just trying to learn. i am asian and i think Islam and the life of Muhammad are deadly. i am fearful of Islamic mission creep.

Anti-Islamic sentiment is not a growing concern. It's just growing. Violence makes people pay attention. People don't need to call themselves Muslim. If you're scared, then stop following the Koran.

the west needs to round them up and send them home ..just do it

Fuck Islam.This is Canada.I don't want to see Islam. I don't want to smell Islam.I don't want to hear Islam. My family helped build this country.We built the infrastructure for this country. If you don't want to follow our way of life, then don't come here.We don't need you.In this next election, the topic of Islam must be addressed. Don't vote for any candidate that wants to turn Canada into another Islamic satellite state.

At the end of the day....ALOT of women need to work and can't rely on a man which means they won't be covering their head/face because the bills need to be paid.

What a steaming pile of bs. In Saudi Arabia 4 people a week are beheaded women are only 1/4 a person as a male, and on and on I am coming to the conclusion that Islam and freedom and democracy are mutually exclusive.  Canada was a free country before all this gender blending neo-Marxist culture war and we need to get back on track.  And by the way when it comes to analyzing the macro socio-economic situation I am intellectually a Marxist but I'm all about freedom and democracy being the first and most important first step.  These would be cultural relativists vanguard of the proletariat gender blending 3rd wavers need to go back to their offices and once again lose themselves in their navel gazing and pay heed to Plato's injunction in the Republic to leave the masses in the microcosm alone.

As a Muslim living in Canada, I don't see the harm in a woman wanting to cover herself, I wear the head scarf myself, but in my opinions I don't feel the need to cover myself to prove I am more modest or a better Muslim.  I believe everyone has free will and has the right in this Country to dress the way that the law has allowed them to.  No one has the right to tell someone how to dress, not even the Prime Minister himself.  Telling a woman what she can and cannot wear is oppression.  I truly believe that if Muslims want to live in Western civilization, then they should refrain from covering their faces because the face is our identity and People have the right to know who you are and what your face looks like.  You cannot vote with a covered face, you cannot cover your face in a passport photo, you cannot cover your face for your driver's licence etc... I am a Muslim woman and I say this.  It truly is a shame how the media is portraying Islam and the Muslim people as a whole, and it truly is a shame that Canadians have become so ignorant.  I see more ignorance and racism in Canada than I do in America and 9/11 took place in America.  If you want to know about Islam, learn about Islam from a Muslim, a Library, google Islam, or offer to spend a few days with a Muslim family for research to get a better understanding of Islam and Muslims.  As a Muslim myself I can understand the hatred and the ignorance because we act according to how we were taught and raised, and yes we have many extremists claiming to follow the Islamic faith.  These extremists are not only hurting Western civilization, but they are also hurting the peaceful moderate Muslims that value their rights and freedoms as Canadians.  I do not appreciate ISIS hijacking my religion, I do not appreciate Hamas or Hezballah hijacking my Religion because I am a very accepting person and a very open minded Muslim and to be defined by media as a problem or a terrorist is very hurtful and a shame.

Fatima H. you need to have your own brain and try interpret Qur'an as is .Don't lie yourself .I red and you don't need to convince me.

islamophobia is what radicals want. Many radical muslims are not educated and able to read the Couran by themselves that's why they turn to radical imam. If you would ever read the couran you will find radical ideology contradicts, the same as if you ever read the bible you will find catholic church history totally contradicts to the bible (more in the satan side instead).\nAnyway, regarding terror and fear, you need to ask Uncle Sam, really, the creator should provide a good explanation and history of it since 1980s.

Islam is not a religion, is a brainwash propaganda, they will never stop!! so thats why we need to stop Islam and all theyr goofy followers, ISLAM SHOULD BE MADE ILLIGAL IN ALL WESTERN SOCIETY!!!

Terrorism is not a problem people. Wake up, it's propaganda. Harper is pro American and look at the state they are in!\nWith that being said, Muslims need to back the fuck off and stop trying to change the Canadian way. Which means, Merry Christmas, not happy holidays.\nWhich means, if you want to be a cop, you abide by the fucking dress code.\n\netc etc

All canadians need to arm themselves, get together and drive these muslims out, while you still have a chance

Islam Is peace and the only way to peace people just accept it if you fear Allah (God) our Creator if you not fear your own Creator you dont need to accept Islam but after Death you will burn in Hell, just say La Iaha illallah from your heart and you will feel the truth dont believe the news maker they are the true evil

Thank you for reporting this. People need to be aware of what's happening

The western world needs a big battlecry rallying us all to start Operation Crusade. One big cleanup....and that includes the rotten damn politicians and liberal multiculturalists who started this mess.

fuck it, get them out. im sick of it. we dont need muslims in europe. call me a racist, i dont give a shit. 

you need to blame the governemet for all this probleam i am scared of our future in europe may be will become like middle east 

These thugs want to Talibanise their neighbourhoods. They are GUTLESS COWARDS like all gangs (they work in numbers and target individuals) and being religious fascists doesn't make them any better than any other gang- arrests need to be made.

there is no need to attack people in the street and tell non-islamics to go to hell but more and more are doing it. if there were more like you in the world i'm sure things would be different \n

DONT TRUST YOUR GOVERMENT OR YOUR RELIGION, TURN TO JESUS CHRIST YOU DONT NEED ANY ONE TO BE YOUR SAVIOUR (EXCEPT) HIM - JESUS CHRIST.....READ THE BIBLE NOW SO YOU CAN GET TO KNOW YOUR GOD BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT....THE CLOCKS TICKING\n

I REALLY HOPE THEY WILL NEVER INVADE IRAN! IT WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC!\nARE YOU BLAMING THE JEWS FOR THIS SPECIFIC AGENDA? MUSLIMS ALWAYS BLAME THE JEWS FOR EVERYTHING!\n\nMUSLIMS THEMSELVES ARE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR BEING HATED AROUND THE WORLD! THEY CANNOT BLAME SOMEONE ELSE! THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES!

No, no it wouldn't be a race war. It's about Islam not their ethnicity. There are Arab Christians who take great pride in being British and they would oppose these thugs. Actually it wouldn't be a war. It would be simply cleaning up the neighborhoods of Islamic bullies and cowards. I live very close to the main mosque in Denver and there are a lot of Muslims. Not once have I had any challenge me and I'm a 65 year old disable man. They need to know their limits in no uncertain terms.\nThomas

Yes we need to tell them that they are doing wrong.\n\nlooooooooool, then why im i allways judged for my beard as a terrorist? but i know ppl who are swedish and have beard then they are ok.\n\njust so you know that ALL ppl judge. no one is perfect.\n\nIslam says to us to not judge anyone even if we see things like we want dosent mean that its like that.

we need 2 free Breivik and deploy in GB

They should all just fuck off back to Mecca , rather than trying to change our country to suit their needs! Civil war I think in the next 50 years

haha stupid idiot, you think we learn about murder in mosques? Think my friend you need to study Islam again!!! I suggest reading the quaran, you will learn lots :)

No because prisons DO NOT teach CRIMINALS a lesson, many prisoners re commit crimes over and OVER! The best solution for attricious crimes like adultery, should be death. It is very disrespectful and needs to be punished - in order for it not to occur.\n\nI admit crimes like theft, people should not be killed... but a greater punishment for the evil acts needs to be installed. Sharia will provide this.\n\nIt's not an excuse to

Well obviously British Law isn't working and Sharia is far better so this is why we need it\n\nI don't care if you find me disgusting, I find your stinking laws disgusting. Stupid Englishman, and your wrong about the last part.

hahaha!!! i understand halal is in your brain and you cannot get out of it, become a christian you will get rid of hallal and will not need it ever.

so you agree with secularism? The world needs more secularist muslims..

I dont agree with them walking around saying this is a Muslim area, everyone is welcome. Also I dont agree with them targetting people not making trouble, if their drinking, wearing a mini skirt or smoking weed, as long as their not harrasing or causing a nuisace, whats it got 2 do with any1? This IS NOT a Muslim country, its actually secular, but with Judeo Christian roots. This kind of coverage of muslim areas is the last thing we need. I know theres only about 10 of them in that group.

The police need to do something about that. I wouldnt tolerate this
