It's true, fair system CRA do not take Extra penny and do not give a extra penny incase if someone paid extra they will send you back later. Yes surviving jobs are reasonable but it's very tough it's not easy for bugging. Other thing still Pakistani people's have all the showoff how much you will get involve in community you will get in debt easilly and its very hard for a person to stay in limit as of social pressure specially for Pakistani families.About crime and theft yes people's are honest theft and steal is less than under developing countries but when you live in congested part of city crim rate and theft is still higher and it is a fact good and bad people's are every where. There is cruption found here on levels from Govt to other but little and due to fair system trials people's get caught easily. Last being a Muslim and Pakistani working lady I never found any thing happened wrong to my family and me due to my religion and culture.The community where I live they give respect to your culture and believes and people are very respectful and helping.

Sir, with due respect. Contrary to what you qouted as examples, there are hundreds of families from that part of the world talks about what they had experienced as Muslims. They talk about Islamobphobia and their personal experiences. Sir Waseem and Others are living in Canada, aren't the others living in the similar society? We admire the Government for all their care for Muslim community, and yet you are trying to dify its narrative. Your PM categorically viewed this incident as a branch of Islamophobia. Sir, you know what, you made it clear in the video, you don't care what one has to say about it. But, I cannot fathom the narrative you tried to build out of it. At last you are one of us, we as Pakistanis never accept our open discrimination towards gender, religion, faith, cast, etc because our national ego is bigger than people’s sufferings. There are thousands suffering only because we have an attitude of bewilderment, its not gonna stop.

In this world, not all people are good, like attacks on mosques and building attacks in America, all religions must have good and evil, not because our attacks are wrong, religion

I hate seeing this in Canada. What happened? We used to be proud to be open and welcoming to people from other countries and religions. Canada is becoming like America. How sameful. No more Canada the good.

White people be like if 1 person does it than blame the whole country or religion

When a white person is angry about non white person, why they attack the persons race, ethnicity, and religion. I think it is time to teach these people another way of saying angry words other than race lol

I know it won’t be easy but, Toronto has a lot of resources for immigrants and even undocumented immigrants. I worked for a shelter and although it was the only one that takes undocumented families, you learn there are resources out there. \nIt’s about aligning yourself with the right community support Center, finding the people who will fight for you. There are so many people here who welcome and want to help all types of immigrants. No matter your background.\nThe people who work helping these communities they are ruthless in their fight for citizenship, or at least finding you a job and home, they will guide you through the system. Social workers, ones in community resource centres, not government centres, will be your best friend. They know where the red tape is and the resources available to you. \nYou could even go to a specific shelter to t all out your options and where you could go to get help.\nI understand this is not ideal. \nBut, if you want to be here, your best friends are non-profits, finding a center that aligns with your story, your background, because they will fight for you. We have people here from every country and resource centres geared towards your own language, religion etc.\nAnother big way to set yourself up for success. Churches, rich churches to be specific. \nMy mom works in a very rich church and it helps them feel better about themselves helping people, you could be nice enough to alleviate their guilt through their wallets, and connections. Under the table work, shelter, space for your family, set you up, they might even have the lawyers you need pro Bono in those rich churches. Church shopping, do not be above it if you don’t have resources. You don’t just get help, you build a community and support system through a common bond, the church. \nI know these aren’t revolutionary tips, but without specifics of your background it’s hard (for me specifically) to give specific advice online as to what services could be provided for you.\nIt’s kind of like a doctors appointment. You need background info to diagnose the resources for you and how to access that help.

This comment section is gross. I understand the anti-islamic sentiment in western countries, but I don't support it. I see comments about how people flee from muslim countries, but this is not because of their religion. There is a shortage of resources in these countries that leads to war and terrorism. The vast majority of muslims are good people, and America and Canada have plenty of space for families fleeing the middle east. Gross comments on this video...

as a muslim, these people are EMBARASSING. trust me, no one i know is like this and islam actually teaches us to love and respect other people and religions. these people are clearly not good people if they want this.

Religion is the rout of division of the people !!

Islam is a religion of tolerance and justice. \nGiving people their rights without oppression, and even the poor are guaranteed their rights from the money of the rich.

The problem with this people make other communitys To hate islam and create islamophobia around the world just go back to your origin country even you are born in the uk you can not make religion law in any area in the uk go and practice your relegion in a muslim country that it

These people just make me hate my religion.

Im not from Europe and I don't hate muslims since some of my relatives are muslims. I just don't understand WTF is wrong with these muslim patrol when in fact they're not from London anyway? They are immigrants there and should never impose by force their religious beliefs to people who aren't the same religion that they belong to. We, Christians, do not force other people to convert nor impose our Christian beliefs to anyone.

We have to stop pointing at races, colors, nationality, religion for reparation ... we need to focus on the real issue ... you have big corporation getting out of control, billionaire now becoming trillionaire. That is crazy knowing that a lot of us are stuck at the bottom and real estate is getting unattainable, some part of the world people don't even get clean water ... wealth distribution is terrible and is getting worst every months. There's a need for a reset button, it's okay that you make money and that some go to your kids but there should be a limit of how much wealth one group of people should be able to get. Government aren't the solution because people in power there are put in place by the same group that need to be corrected ...

The problem is also, even if it's just a small minority that hold backwards beliefs, how small is a small minority of 1.8 billion people? 100 million? 150 mil? 300 mil? The fact is even if the majority are peaceful, there are still WAY TOO MANY that hold violent, illiberal, misogynistic beliefs. Do ex-buddhists fear for their lives if they leave their faith? Catholics? Hindus? Sikhs? We ALL know there is only ONE religion in the 21st century where apostates are persecuted, even fearing death from their OWN families. What does that tell you???

To Muslims: Believe in what you want , pray, fast, wear what you want, however: in peace, quiet. Nobody needs to hear you praying, pray in your homes or mosques, do not ask for rights more then any other group of people , respect as you are respected, obey the Canadian laws, Respect peoples feeling & civil rights, as the rest of us do. No special treatment to you based on your religion. You do that , we will all be happy.

This should be about all religions we live in the twenty first century ,and people are still praying to god's that don't exist,god created man, no man created god , because he didn't understand evolution etc ,it was a way of making sense of the world around him .you notice I say him , because in all religions it was man made ,and not really meant for women . especially no important role for a woman.

I live in Canada and I’m a Muslim this is really getting me mad how we supposed to live we have a religion that we practise and the niqab is for there own good they aren’t forced they have a choice if they want to cover there body that’s there right u can’t take people’s right away

I almost feel all religion should be completely private. Any suggestion of any religion publicly should be illegal. Christianity/islam etc. You cant discriminate against islam. Its easy for me to say because im an atheist. Islam does appear the most dangerous but it used to be christianity. There are good muslims and good christians but equally ghere are maniacs. If everyone kept their religions private/secret and those flouting that were jailed that might work. Fair for everyone really. Why should people need to ram their religion down others throats. Its a shame because im in favour of freedom but i guess that would mean banning the burka, crucifix’s etc. Shame people cant just be civil, live and let live etc. I think its either regulate or anarchy.

Why only Muslims having these many issues and why most of the world is againist ISLAM? Is problem with Muslims or people who are doing wrong by using Islam religion?

Members of Islam have carried hatred of non Islamic people ever since the foundation of the religion. They have Never publicly denied the bias in their religious texts.

World knows that it is very difficult to understand muslims what is wrong or right as a Human. They think as a religion not as a human. It is very difficult to adjust with such redical people, so world start keep distance with them.\n\nThere are some good muslims in the World but number of bad once is very large. Exceptions are available in religion but balance is necessary. Islam has lost that balance.\n\nThey said there is only one true religion in the world that's Islam but they have themselves have different Islam in muslims. That is Shia or Sunni Islam.

For everyone saying that Hinduism believes in Casteism.\n  Casteism has nothing to do with Religion. Casteism was introduced by RICH people to dominate over poor section of Society. Read Ramayana and Geeta, vedas.there isn't a single word Related To casteism in our Religious Context. \nBelieve me Sanatan dharma/ Hinduism is the peaceful religion in the world. We don't believe in violence, don't believe in Forced Conversion. We just Offered people To Accept Sanatani for Their benefits. \nLike In islam, they Torture Women by implementing Islamic laws like Triple talaq, Nikah Halaala. Islam is hell For Women. And they believe in Forced Conversion.

we aren’t anti-women. women choose to wear it themselves, they aren’t forced by anyone. also don’t blame a whole religion from a bad thing that a few people may have done.

Hey Muslim here and I do not agree with this what's so ever, If you are a muslim living in the west its not you job to change their society! You wanna teach islam to people you do it on their free will. You wanna live by muslims rules you go live in a muslim majority ruled country. All you're doing is pushing the narrative forcefully which is against EVERYTHING islam stands for, for there is no compulsion in religion. Lived in Canada my whole life and muslims here don't push anything onto our communities and neighobors its pretty simple you wouldn't want anything forcing you so why do it back!

Zakir Naik will say my Muslim friends. A fool who belittles another religion by foolish reasoning, that person is now a great philosopher of Muslim society. There are such Muslim clerics all over the world who are making Muslims small in the eyes of the world. Don't Muslims know that they can't grow up by making others small? Has any Muslim society opposed him? No, it didn't. Because, Muslims do not have that courage, so as long as people like this Zakir Naik handle the Muslim religion, anti-Muslim hatred will not decrease. If service, peace is in any religion, then Shikra will be first.

Hello we all respect all people religion in England teaches

This Religion is too dangerous. \nAlert:- To those people who call themselves Secular. \nIf you don't take Action Now in U.K.. U.K. will convert into Islamic Country. And you People will become Muslim. And You people Are gonna follow sharia Law. \nI support China That It Knows It's future Problems.

There will always be racial bias in society. We can’t help it. Race, religion, gender, language, all part of our identity. But we are also going to have a preference for those identity traits as well. It’s the hate that is the problem. Some people have been taught or conditioned to hate certain races and identities and that is what we need to push back on.

Damn, girl collecting for Syrian refugees has a set of nuggets on her. Lots of crazy people out here. God bless all people of compassion and love, religion aside.

I think some people forget that a Muslim is not a race but a religion. That religion comes with its own Bible that has horrific things in it. Christians get scorned all the time and nobody says anything. A Muslim gets the same treatment and everybody feels bad for them. It doesn’t make sense to me either. Maybe those who do not understand Muslims should pick up their Bible to get an idea of what they represent.

?????so sad. Still happening in 2020, I guess people don't learn.from the past.\n... Only your good actions will determine if you're a good human being: Not your skin color, religion, culture, status or education..

Britain is only for christian not for other religion I am hindu . Make Christianity a state religion otherwise other people destroyed your culture kids women . Please save your religion . Don't give citizenship to anybody like UAE except christian .

I understand the concept of terrorism people want to blame others. But if you are being targeted for that. Just adapt and preach your religion in you community until they are educated.

Look raisist people do not support any religion ...

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite

What I love about both countries that religion doesn't play much of role . Btw Canada is 60% non religion . And USA is 40% no religion . But the most important thing is that the secular identity in both nations . Christians in both countries are not traditional Christians . But secular Christians . That's why Americans and Canadians marry other people like non religious and other religions \nAnd they are very open minded nations . I just hope if I can marry a Canadian or American because Its my dream to marry and settle down in there for a very big part of my life . I don't care what's my partner religion as long as I love and her it's enough .

This is unacceptable in islam. This people need to be in jail. Islam teaches to follow rules of the country you are in as long as it doesn't lose a threat to you religion(forcing you to do unacceptable things in Islam) I don't know why this people think they have the power to change laws. If they are not happy in the country they can leave. This are the same people spreading false info about islam. And killing of animals that pose you no threat is haram and it's a murder.

Why is there war in Syria Afghanistan Somalia Yemen Iraq libya why do people get kidnapped in these countries I wonder what religion they are motherfuckers

This comment section is filled with people saying Muslims are bad no they’re is a difference between The people and the religion you can have a problem with a Religion but not with a people I’m not Muslim I’m Catholic and for Christ’s sake 90% of Muslims are just normal fucking people

The only people responsible for Anti Muslim sentiment.... Are the Muslims themselves, with their intolerance, hatred for all other religions and communities and the way they constantly try to dominate everybody and force their faith down everyone's throat.

These guys are giving Muslim’s a bad name and more a disgrace to there religion, Laos of people of difference in there religions live together-fine in peace until idiots like this start causing trouble.

Where ever, these people live or go. There is fight, protest, war these dangerous, brutal people cant live in peace and any where in the country, until sharia law implemented. All those so called open door policy country you let mambas n rattles inside, it will strike n strike bad. Your entire country demograph will change you will be minority. All religion places will be destoryed.

ISLAM IS not peaceful.\nMuslims too are not peaceful.\nIf religion claims killing sends you to heaven,\nIt's a religion and people cannot be trusted for peace And peaceful existence.\n??????

They are blinded by ignorance. They believe in sharia law. Also other coloured people are put in a bad light. When your god says others should be killed! It’s not a religion! No god would say that!

If they want to enjoy the benefit of sharia law they should get out from Canada else the common people of Canada wil kick you out. The worst terror religion in the world is Islam. Muslims should go to Saudi Arabia or Pakistan or Muslim populated countries.

Islam terrible religion and terrible people

Muslims and Mormons are both wrong yet when is the last time a Mormon pulled a suicide bombing on innocent people and children? Or a white Christian going into the Middle East and doing the same? That is of the devil! God says to love others, not force them into your false religion or die! That proves that it's false in and of itself!!!
