Problem not in Islam or in Christianity, problem not because you are Muslim or Christian, problem because of your ego and your blind mind and the evil inside you that pushing you to hate others , leave everyone to his faith and try to be example and a model inspiring people to love each other, what is the use when you tell me Quran said or bible said and you are a hater and spreading hate and violence among humanity, I am proud to be Muslim and I am more proud when I have Christian neighbour asking me for help and I help them every year to put their Xmas light in their house and share them their joy and happiness, I actually bought some lights and gave it to them as a gift , I invite them to my house and they do the same , problem not in religion, the problem is you haters , even if all the humanity become one religion, do you think all our problems solved?! No absolutely no , it's the nature of human been, fix yourself first before you try to fix others

Let's face the facts. If one goes out of their way to act and look weird, then one should not be upset when people think of you as weird, and let's face the facts the all religions are weird, and Islam is one of the weirdest! Islam simply has no place in the western culture. They should go to the religious hell hone of the Mideast and be weird there. Anyone that does not think that Muslims put their religion above all else does not know the Islamic faith!

why nobody talk about bikini is anti women dress? Why everyone have problem with Muslim women who cover her full body? Why no one have problem with naked women?

its Terrible that how Islam has adopted the salafi or Wahabie traditions Nicab or even the headscarf is a cultural practice not a religious one, so why would muslims adopt such a cultural tradition?

The sickness in the left grows. When will the meltdown crack? The only sensible part was that one (apparently) Muslim woman.

islam is like cancer and it must be radiated every last one of them

now that Harper is gone, Canada will get fucked SLOWLY, but hey Canadians are the ones who chose Tradeau so blame yourselfs

I don't mean to be rude but how is burqa a choice? Why would anyone want to dress up in a black robe covering from head to toe, except eyes and sometimes eyes too? I know it's religious thing but how can one make it a personal choice to wear it? That too women? It's ok for men, they only have so many colours in their attire to choose, but women? Seriously? I think burqa should be for Muslim men who are ok with wearing the same colour everyday (in general). I like hijab, the head scarf, it comes in so many colours and it's so pretty, hijab makes you beautiful. Not burqa or niqab.

Haha! This part of the Earth used to have the ability to make Concorde supersonic jets, spacecraft parts and other science stuff. London's new industry? Prayer rugs, call-to-prayer public address sound systems and the expanding market of call-to-prayer PA service technicians. You might get your guns back though, or see them at least when pointed at you if you miss the prayer session or don't have your rug positioned correctly on the floor. That science stuff makes god very angry because the special chosen ones of the religion said so. Your divinely granted duty is to follow and not ask questions of any kind.

The thing is you hear things about ISIS or hamas and you try to separate it and say that it only the extremists, when in fact the moderates still support it. when speaking to a muslim friends of mine i asked her if your book says killing is wrong then why is there so much of it in islam? to my dismay she said that as long as they're killing for her religion its ok and that she supports things like the charlie hebdo shootings. She claims to support freedom of speech, but in reality, only things that are not opposed to islam. tried telling her if you ant talk about something freely then it isn't freedom of speech but she couldnt comprehend that. its disappointing to see that even though they are not the ones directly in the terrorist groups, they still support what they do.

Tolerance is not a one way street. Canadians (and other westerners) should wake up and realize that, and also form a basic understanding about the evils of islam, that muslims stand for.\nMany douchebags and pseudo-liberals of the Ben Affleck kind, will go to great lengths to defend islam and muslims while knowing absolutely nothing about that religion or its followers, with the only purpose being to selfishly display how PC they are. A true liberal person will value their acquired freedoms and privileges, and not be tolerant of the intolerant. Furthermore, real leaders should not be afraid to bring these points up, backing them up with hard evidence (not just hear-say or opinions), for the purpose of protecting civilised society: so that muslims and non-muslims all can understand why islam is incompatible with western civilisation. If muslims are offended by any of that, then that offence is brought on by themselves. PC has no place here.\n\nHere are some reasons why islam is incompatible with civilised society:\n1. Muslims consider the quran to be the perfect book and their prophet to be the perfect man, who's behaviour is to be aspired to, so perfect that any imagery of him does him great injustice and is forbidden. Other than being plain stupid, this in itself doesn't affect civilised society much (except free speech when drawing cartoons), but this does becomes a critical point in combination with the next points:\n2. A perfect man does not marry a 6 year old girl and then f*ck her when she's 9. But that's what their perfect prophet did and they know it, often justifying it as being in a different time. Well no time ever has been ok for a 50+ year old man to f*ck a 9 year old. \n3. In this religion that muslims consider perfect, apostasy is to be punished by death (quran 4:89). This combined with the fact that muslims consider their religious doctrines more important than man-made (western) law is something that makes them incompatible with civilised society. Of course they benefit from the civilised society, but not vice versa. \n4. Then there are the many verses in the quran that order muslims to fight non-muslims (and specifically jews), order death for adultery and homosexual behaviour, etc. Just search and you'll find as there are way too many to list here. Try here for example: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/\n5. Islam is an extremely controlling religion, it intervenes in everything aspect of human life, even as far as with which hand is to be used for eating and which for wiping off after taking a dump. It also declares itself to be the only true and last religion leaving no space for other religions or atheism. This is what makes it such a totalitarian and fascist religion.\n\nMuslims won't deny these points I listed, but they often will try to evade addressing them. \nToo keep a long story short: if you are really a tolerant/liberal person, then you stand your ground and stand for civilised principles, and don't tolerate or defend islam like some traitorous PC pseudo-liberal Ben Aslick sort of character.

Toronto is over run. One of the reasons I no longer live there. 'Toronto the Good' is now Toronto the Trash Bin. \nI'm not a fan of Harper, but I will vote for him because of his stance on muslims and immigration.

Oh lets call it what it really is ... It's *jealousy* \n\nThey know they're fucked up men with fucked up ideologies and know there are better men for their women that would respect them for who they are and not just sex tools. Talk to one in public with their man around ... and then watch her husband act like a little *jealous toad*\n\n@ 4:57 You can hear and see her pause ... she knows her man told her to wear it!!

Go away from Canada America England India \nNo one want you \n\nArab world of you go there

Go and watch an old corny movie called El Cid with Charleton Heston.....listen at the beginning where they talk about killing the teachers and burning the books and one world power.

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.

this is bullshit, if I decided to cover my face and go out in public i would probably be arrested for conspiracy to commit robbery. The western world is no place for islam. Keep all that bullshit on the other side of the world, they're not welcome here. They all flock to north america and try and change everything about our way of life, and bitch about everything we stand for. If i moved to one of their countries and tried to pull that shit i would be publicly executed.

How is covering ones kisser improving ones faith, explain please.

ha ha ha they ve s higher status where they cover to avoid men who r born with penis in one hand quran in another :)

Am I missing something? Islam condones jihad and all muslims read the koran and try to emulate their prophet weather they purport to be moderate or not. As a matter of fact the extremist muslims are more devout muslims than the so called moderate one.

A better muslim? How about a better human being? Self righteousness is at the core of islam. A false sense of piety over everyone else including fellow muslims.The christ dealt with the hypocrisy of self righteous deluded holier than thou saducees and pharisees in his day.All forms of self righteousness and an outward show of piety is only self agrandisment, ego run amok,or just plain conning people into thinking one is a holy or special individual. Just lies also at the core of islam. Lies to oneself then all others.Beware of the seasoning of the saducees and pharisees, for they love to go in long robes, having the borders of they're garments broadened,The reciting of long prayers in the street, to be seen of men, prefering the chief seats in the synagouge and the upper rooms at feasts.who devour widows houses and turning judgement away from the poor for a bribe.

I just wonder why? Why Muslims? I mean every religion has the extremists! I know Muslims has the fair share and maybe more! But so what I am scared... Scared to wear a hijab in public because a person in my class. Someone I thought was a friend asked me what religion I was. I answered Muslim. He critiqued me he swore and called me a terrorist. In front of my best friends face. She didn't do anything... People seem to believe what ever is put on the media. Yeah we have terrorists but who doesn't! So what we have our religion you have one too. So what I just wonder. Why dose it have to be Muslims?

why move to another country if one is not willing to assimilate  ... because they have another agenda (which they never will be successful at).

oohhh where's my violin. Vote Harper, at this point he's the only one admitting that there is an Islamic problem.

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.

This isn't a Muslim area, might have a large population of Muslims living here but no one has the right to do this!

You Zbon the religion of Islam, but it is the true religion ..Did you know that your religion typeface and agreed priest Onzero to the Ahmed Deedat, a cast sermon ...We are a nation of one billion and 500 million Muslims ..That the religion of truth ..Stop racism O backward people

fuck off to one of their war torn islamic shit holes then

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

Quran does not permit to kill an innocent muslim or non muslim. If you do, you will answer to god. Muslim's are afraid of god before fearing any law. We believe that god sees every action we make, and I repeat... It is prohibited in islam for somme one to kill an innocent person. I'm a shamed of people using islam as a shield to kill innocent people. If american's kill millions of innocent children its because they don't know god, but a muslim should not do that. God will punish americans...

You don't need to course. And no, no one will do that since islam is in the heart of humanity. You could ever become muslim tomorrow your self lool ;p

A religiom is a a religion. So, you are of course right on this one.\nBut islam ios way more than a religion.\nYou simply cant compare a religion that hails the Sun twice a day, with a political ideology wich just acts as a religion.\nIn every state islam has the majority, it becomes a polöitical agenda to take over.\nYou cannot compare that with , lets say the peaceful Jain System. Ot Toaism, or Shamanism.\nHow big is the risk being blasted by a militant jain?\nNone 1since 9:11 vs 21000 islamic ones.

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!

People that come to our country and have loads of kids then the local council have to give them a home Instead of people that actually deserve one. My opinion

It is a very good point you make, there is an argument that if the German people had stood up to Hitler then we would not have experienced one of the largest genocides in history but Muslims are often unfairly blamed for actions that are not their own\nThe media does focus on the extremist element but the issue is that if people from a non-Muslim background try to intervene it is labelled as racism which is part of the reason that the politicians are so soft handed with Muslim extremists

should german people have to keep apologising for Hitler? Should Iraqi people have to apologise for Sadam Hussein? Should black people have apologise every time a black person commits a crime, in order to satisfy those racist people who think 'black people are criminals'? what about people who work in banks - should they all publicly apologise for the financial crisis? You say they are very loud, but only because of the media, maybe they should be the ones to apologise...

europe is the one fuckin with israel and messing muslim countries up. when europe is supporting dictators and apartheid states, what do u think is goinng to happen. europeans would live in peaceful place on earth while they fuckkkin the world. shiit is coming back at you

HA HA HA HA HA we muslims can fuck any one any where hahahah\n\n

OK I stand ready to be converted. Tell me one good thing about Islam then .

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.

They might challenge an old lady or a kid but wont go near a bloke who will smack them one, they are gobshites.

ALLAH glory be to him alone knows everything. He knows one fate even before life is given to them in the womb. \nALLAH judges people after the day of judgment so that the good can be rewarded and the wrong be punished.

THE QURAN CAME IN 640 AFTER JESUS CHRISTS RESURRECTION...NOW ONE PERSON SAYS SOMETHING WITHOUT ANY WITNESS AND TELLS GOD TOLD HIM SO .... WITHOUT ANY PROOF OR WITNESS HOW CAN ONE BELEIVE WHAT HE SAID IS CORRECT....HE ALSO THINKS GABRIEL IS A DEMON THE FIRST TIME HE MEETS HIM AND GABRIEL PRESSES HIS NECK 3 TIMES AND TELLS HIM TO READ.....YOU MEAN TO SAY THE ANGEL GABRIEL DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS MAN WAS NOT LITERATE ...AND THIS MAN THINKS GABRIEL IS A DEMON...THEN HE CHANGES HIS STANCE !!!!

no there lying in front of the camera. in the Koran it says to teach the unbelievers of the way of islam, and if they don't accept behead them or convert them (if your a Jew sorry you only have choice 1) islam the ultimate religion of hate, just face it fight against the muslims because there Jihad in England has already began. This first one is Stealth trying to make Sharia more and more accepted until they can have Sharia law. Just face it they won't integrate! Let this be a warning to us

Well i was asking because I have read your Quran a few times\n\nThe thing about the Quran is, its a list of do's and don'ts, (a book of laws). The laws are listed, and what people don't realise is that Islam is actually a form of government, it is politics, law and order all rolled into one religion.\n\nFor this reason you can compare Islam to other forms of governance like Communism and Democracy.\n\nHowever secular muslims like Attaturks followers reject most clause's in Islam.\n\n

@grillerg..very true , we should deport these hate,war mongering bastards ..there is no room in the u.k for this ..thus is s christian country not an Islamic one ..they have no right , they are bullying people weaker than them ...jyst plain idiots

I agree with this! See, their is middle ground!!! Of course, I can not stop you from drinking, but you should not walk into a mosque with such things and try not to be loud/disruptive around mosques (or any other places of worship) after your done drinking. Most Muslims are like myself, but no one looks. No one looks at the Muslims doing the little good deeds that make a difference (Clothinghomeless, helping teachers, feeding orphans) the focus is always on some fringe group that causes problems

Not one good example of any Muslim country! so why spread all this Sharia rubbish here???

My country is one of the better examples of Islamic law though still flawed due to national problems and namely international relations and the paranoia surrounding the USA for good reason (CIA Coup and 25 years of USA backed dictatorship and opression)\n\nNow about the reports, understand that western media thives on shock media, they thrive on putting things out of context and exagerating them.\nYes those things happen with Muslims as they happen with everyone else, but it's not Islamic.

Trying to say that all Muslims are like the ones in the video when Muslims from your average Joe to religious leaders have condemned their actions is like saying grown EDL men beating up little Pakistani school girls is representative of the entire white population. Or that the rape and abuse of children by soldiers of XYZ army in Iraq/Afghanistan is representative of the that entire army. You have ignorant people in all religions, nations and organizations. Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant
