Muslims give bad name to other progressing asian communities like Sikhs living in canada who work hard for a better living and respect the law of land . As a sikh i wanted to serve the country and defend from any practice that undermine the canadian values.

This defends harmful, evil

Sadly, this shows racism and Islamophobia! Most people are affected by the media which relates terrorism to Islam.. \nIslam is a peaceful religion with those who are peaceful because Allah SWT has called Himself as-Salaam (the One Free from all defects; this word also means ‘peace’), \n2- It forbids mischief on earth. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “and do good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidoon (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupt)”\n3- It allows followers of other religions to live in the Islamic state and practice their religion without putting any pressure on them. The Prophet (bpbh) ruled Madinah when there were many Jewish tribes living there, and he established a constitution between him and them which required all citizens to defend the state and strive together for its wellbeing, and granted security to them, their property and their children, with freedom of worship, trade and travel. They mixed with the Muslims to such an extent that they used to invite the Prophet(bpbh) to meals in their homes, and he would accept their invitations. He (bpbh) also gave them the right to judge matters amongst themselves according to their own laws. \nThe Prophet(bpbh) said: “If anyone wrongs a mu‘aahid [non-Muslim living under Muslim rule], detracts from his rights, burdens him with more work than he is able to do or takes something from him without his consent, I will plead for him (the mu‘aahid) on the Day of Resurrection.” and also said : “Whoever kills a mu‘aahid will not smell the fragrance of Paradise, although its fragrance may be detected from a distance of forty years.”

I think all religious people have one common trait THEY LIE FOR THIER FAITH AND GOD! \nSo if you have to lie to defend your beliefs then your belief is wrong!!

Let’s not forget MANY OF US wouldn’t be here if our parents/ancestors wouldn’t of immigrated (Yes Im one of them) let’s not be hypocrites now “oh go back” we all do what’s best for our family to give them a better future this man paid with his hard earned money his own lawyers. Many of us depend on a Public defender when arrested gtfoh this ain’t up for debate I don’t care about anyone’s negative comments so save them, better yet keep them make a profit out of it.

educate your self's  on the Koran and Islam ? or history will repeat, and ww3 is not going to be fun at all, and don't you think its od that Lucifer hates the Jews and Christians and so did the Nazis who also worshiped Lucifer and Lucifer hates freedoms Lucifer is the best liar in the world the best deceiver in the world and in the king James bible it talks about the antichrist witch is in the Koran as the Mahdi same guy and the only guy I see that fits the bill for him is trumps son in law JK , his building address is 666 ,Israel will nuke Damascus in self defends . and the USSR and the Muslims will attack and fail .and 1/7th will make it back alive .all this info is in the bible and the Koran plainly for anyone to see  .

Islamophobia is not the fear of the unknown, than rather the fear of the known. The known aggression of the islamists, the known killings, beheadings, terror attacks, kidnappings and so on. There are several reasons why people hate islam. People who defend Islam in the name of tolerance are either brainwashed or they don't know how atrocious this religion is. Loook for the causes for violence in the Quran. You will find it there!

i wish they did the actor 'harrssing' social experiment with her in a niqab. unfortunately i dont think many people at all would have defended her. i have seen this happen on the london tube a few times :(

Blacks should stop defending these Latino illegals..they dont like blacks.

Let's let Canada defend the free world and we can spend our trillions of borrowed money on new welfare projects. That's a progressive plan that might work out well. The question is who it works out for, isn't it?

It happens cause police. People afraid to Defend there rights cause to police a worker word is above consumer and searches to side with a worker over truth justice ..no one insults any one who can knock em out

there are more BLACK AFRICAN AMERICANS in the USA , THAN PPL FROM MUSLIM COUNTRY, , but remember MILLIONS OF BLACKS WERE DRUG HERE AGAINST THEIR WILL AND ENSLAVED, SO WHY WOULD YOU ASK OUR RACE TO HELP DEFEND ANY TYPE OF RACE HATE, ARE YOU KIDDING, I REALLY THOUGHT ALL THESE PPL WENT TO CHURCH AND BELIEVED IN GOD. HOW YOU GONNA ASK BLACKS TO HELP THROW OTHER RACES OUT OF THE USA. ANY PERSON IN AN ELECTED OFFICE THAT SAYS OR PROMOTE SUCH AN IDEAL, IS UILTY OF AN ACT OF TREASON AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, CAUSE LOTS OF DIFFERENT RACES HAVE DIED IN WAR FOR THE LEGAL RIGHT TO BE HERE. PERIOD.

She made cultural remarks to defend herself from immigrants who still haven't adapted to the Canadian Culture. Her boss fired her because he or she is an idiot. She is right! If you want to live in a country, you must adapt to the customs and rules of that country. If you insist on behaving according to your original culture, you should catch your bags and go back to where you came from. I entered Canada as an immigrant and have always toed the line. Kudos to Kelly Pocha, for her courage to defend herself and the Canadian lifestyle.

Trudeau was a panderer, he has lost all respect with everyone in Canada. And now it seems with people he petitioned to defend. Peoplekind would be better off without him. I voted for him because I believe in what he said, now I realize that his fathers name was his biggest asset and he is a pretty terrible PM. I'm not going to leave my morals behind and vote PC, but I won't vote for him again.

He must be racist for suggesting that people should follow the law! That's what a sjw would say at least.\nImmigration is a complicated issue. I believe if you want to work, come to the USA! Before that can happen though we need to reign in our social welfare. I am sure that will discourage a few people from coming but we can't subsidize an immigrant's work or anyone's work for that matter. \nAnother is that if your country is full of violent gangs, or a tyrannical leader, or a socialist nation than maybe you should stay and try to fix the place. \nIf you are not willing to defend freedom, why should we defend and die for your freedoms?

It’s literally the definition of anti-women and discrimination. Your forced to wear a thick peace of black cloth around your face (hiding it, including the rest of her body) in some of the hottest places on earth. Your not only forced to wear it but also have all your rights token away. The fact that u as a women can stand their and defend Islam is just pure ignorance let alone stupidity and brainwashed. You would think they would stand up for the rights of women in the Middle East but instead try to force this ideology on ppl in other countries instead of even trying to fix/help their own which they r so proud of ¿? Wake up people

All u have to do is read their manuals the koran hadiths ,it is by far the most evil content i have read .How is trudeau able to defend what is there black and white .He needs and will be held accountable .Stepgen Harper is right he knows what is in their books and hist of muhamad .Evil pure evil is oslam

Why do people who haven't contributed anything to our society get anything while seniors and veterans struggle? Seniors built this country and veterans defended it. I get that we want to help but we can't save the whole world.

Hey wow, big surprise the main people harassing the hijabi girl are old white men. The millenials are the first to defend people and the first to accept change. The world will be a better place once the number of conservative baby boomers starts dipping.

You see how media is defending muslisms saying that 'Not all the muslims are equal' What is happening in europe is only the top of the iceberg\n\nSOLITION MASIVE DEPORTATION AND BAN ISLAM.\nNOW IS LATE, LATER WILL BE WORST.

Call me whatever, but India has been dealing with this for a very long time, probably since 1980s. I dont hate islam but I dont love it either. Let's just say that I wouldnt buy a house in Muslim neighborhood. It has been a nuisance to India since a long time, every time we screamed in UN for help. We got shut down until the problem reached world wide. People say it started happening since Iraq and syrian war which is slightly incorrect. This problem has been there since ages prior to war, It just manifested on a high level recently. There are so many examples...This religion feeling which later turns into violence starts with your own house, your upbringing and your own values. If a kid is used to seeing his mom being suppressed then when he grows up, dont expect much from him. Now every community has this issue but in Muslim community it is engraved in you the moment you open your eyes on planet earth. You cannot defend the argument when someone says Women are suppressed in mulsim culture. The most hurtful thing happening is in UK. A country which gave you food, shelter, respect, a better life. You are trying to impose your values on it? As a matter of fact, good muslims should come out openly and boycott these terrorist who are trying to create chaos if they really want to show good intentions but you wont see any (for obvious reasons). They often cry about they being a victim but what about other people?? If all good muslim come out and boycott bad muslims then that would be a thing to appreciate and notice. In last you cant clap with one hand! Remember that.

This is how you can tell a good Muslim from the one's not to be trusted, those that play the victim and defend Islam, without separation of the radical Muslims want Islamic conquest. The Muslim woman that says she worries about what can happen to her by other Muslims are the ones that don't hide the truth and don't defend Islam.

what is the problem with those people? they excape killing in Islamic countries...come here...and now they pull the same bullshit on us...fucking crybabies ! the world doesn't revolve around you!\nFirst of all you are all cowards for not standing up against extremists in your countries and defending your families overthere !!! (this counts especially for migrant males) shame on you !! we fought for our freedom against Tyranny for hundreds of years and you want us to accept those medieval behavior of yours ? honestly I don't think we're so far away from a civil war !

islam will destroy any country where they will be the majority.. sadly is truth.. and i don't understand how people can deny that.. and defend that violent religion of intolerance.. murder.. pedophilia.. i don't understand the people who defend islam

I am czech, we relatively recently (1989) get rid of totalitarian communists here.I just do not get how is it possible that Canada or Muslims in general are so welcoming to the totalitarian systems - where women are forced to cover the faces. I mean - why the feminists or free thinkers are defending some practice, which is obviously against women and 99% of women wearing it worldwide are forced to do so by men - in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran. Where is the liberalism and western values gone in Canada ? This is pure nonsense to present it like a freedom. It just reminds me of communists in France/Italy or elsewhere during cold war..... thousands/milions of people have died in the same time in USSR and in the meantim those idiots have embraced marxism in Paris/Rome or elswhere..... disgusting morality in my opinion. Completely wrong attitude. This issue is quite clear to anybody... islam and it's form taken in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere has nothing to do with western values neither with women rights.... wake up.

listen up every one if you are on here trying to defend Islam, at least do some research for what it's doing to the people that are under sharia law before you start your liberal mumbo jumbo.

This is why open carry and concealed carry should be legal in London. No one has the right to accost someone or harm their person!! How do you defend yourself from that BS? Especially women and disabled, elderly, etc?

these idiots should be arrested, because they have no right to tell others what to do and don't, and it's sertanly\n not a muslim area, but uk soil, and you brit's should defend it!

ok so muslims say they should be able to wear what they want so their women cover up. but then when you ask them about western women they say they should cover up and SHOULD NOT be able to dress the way they do. liberals who think they are being so free and open minded need to open their eyes to the religion they are trying to defend. muslims routinely abuse the freedoms that are afforded to them while living in a democratic society that hypocrisy becomes second nature to them. the women that was interviewed says we get dressed up put on fancy clothes and make up with other women, even though to do that is haram in islam and is only meant to attract men. ignorance and regression will lead to the downfall of every western country. it is simply a fact and somehow it always comes off as fear mongering when it is said, no religion should ever have a right over any society. if there was a religion where it was ok to behead people who dont believe in that religion would it be ok for people to believe it, oh wait ISLAM.

It was'nt the Muslims who found and built Canada nor created her economy. Their limited capabilities and views do not allow this.They are not capable of building a free society. They sought refuge and a livelihood in Canada free from threats of death, fear of imprisonment, torture, hunger and poverty. The aspect of Islam (easy oil money which is now beginning to run out) which made a lazy bunch of people even lazier and accustomed to an ignorant and arrogant way of life is what is causing a problem now.\nWomen who choose to wear a covering are the ones who believe that their own forms are either evil, evoke evil or just plain ugly and unsightly. Personally, I have seen scantily clad western women sunning themselves on beaches without inviting a second glance. It's the Muslims who are dirty minded enough to call this dirty. Ugliness breeds ugliness and the niqab. Muslim women who defend the covering - you are now exposed, so shut up.

Mental slavery is the worst kind. It gives you the illusion of freedom, makes you love trust and defend your oppressors while making enemies of the ones trying to free you or open your eyes. Every woman interviewed in this segment is suffering from mental slavery.

As a European I say: Americans (South and North) defend yourself againt Islam! It is fucking up your society.

They're all up for defending their religious beliefs, and stating that they made their own choices, but they have nothing to say about how those beliefs, and the actions that go with them are terrorising communities worldwide

This racist attitude has been entirely manufactured by the media. Shameful. Muslims are not new, foreign, or fearful. Modesty, as exemplified by traditional dress, is a virtue. Don't explain or defend. Our society has room for all traditions.

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.

the day that muslims try to take over in canada is the day i start an underground army, and shit is really gonna hit the fan then. i will defend my nation to the death, its values and its ideals, and its laws, i will never allow a group or race or creed or ideology, or RELIGION, to destroy what our grandparents fought soo hard to build.

As a older Canadian born and bred, but now in Europe because of marriage, I can see things farther toward the wall than most of you perhaps in Brandon, Thunder Bay, Charlottetown, Whitby, Kamloops, Red Deer, etc. This is extremely dangerous. A few muslims are o.k., as they may assimilate to Canadian values of 'PEACE, ORDER, and GOOD GOVERNMENT'. Yet most do not wish to assimilate, only to remain who they are, ungrateful of the bounty Canada offers them, and holding values against those our country has always promulgated. We have separation of church and state in Canada, and fought very hard for it, with a history of bloody wars in Europe to show for it. It is repulsive how we are allowing a bleeding of immigrants into our country who do not believe in our basic creed. This is not racial. This is not hate-based or prejudice. It is simply defending our creed as a country, from wherever you are, and whomever you are. Canada is worth defending. Where are the feminists on this? Why are you not defending Canada is this debate?

Western cultures invade and colonize all the countries and people they want including north america #idle no more but when anyone ties o defend themselves they blame the culture of the victim #black lives matter. europeans have issues with everyone not just muslims. the west invaded 'muslim countries' and have killed millions over the last decade who are the real terroists that are trying to enforce their laws on other populaces?

Christians rise up! Defend the faith. Atheism is the demise of the West.

Christians rise up! Defend the faith. Atheism is the demise of the West.

If this were not at all about misogyny or oppression but purely an expression of religious devotion then the men would do it too, and I'm not sure about defending a woman's right to be oppressed it would be akin to defending someones right to be enslaved.

I ALRIGHT MADE SOME RESEARCH! I AM AGAINST AMERICA DEFENDING ISRAEL! AMERICA SHOULD NOT BE GIVING AWAY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR! IT IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!

well thats our and my opinion if you don't want to research it and find the truth when its plain sight. ask you self a few thing. why does america a superpower, blindly defend and support isreal as its closest ally. why do zionist jews own all the big corporation in the world from banking to media and use it to control the world. if you cannot see the global agenda then you need to wake up. the middle east will be secured soon. watch the arrivals a series of short videos that explains a lot.

Allah swears by what you see and what you do not see that the Arabic Quran is the utterance of an honorable messenger a revelation from the Lord of the universes. \nIf Mohammad had uttered any other sayings against Us We would have taken away his right hand (Means Mohammad wrote the Quran with his right hand) then We would have surely cut off his aorta, none of you could have defended him Q-69:37-46 So the ones who wrote Hadith Sunna Sharia law and Resalh their hands and Hearts should be cut off.

Dear Kelly, Islam is really violent and nasty. Dont bother trying to defend them. Havent yet heard a word about the continous murder of christian or Pakistan women who wanted to get an education. Or yet to hear them condemn the shooting in her head of the schoolgirl Malala. and so on and so on.

Britain, Take lessons from Burma, China or India. If shit like this happened in Asia, Natives from these Nations would be on the streets rioting and expressing their dissatisfaction defending their Nation and Culture. \n\nBritish people simply don't care about their own Nation, You have no respect for your own Culture, Nation or History, Hence you let these Dark Age scum dominate you ! All respected citizens of Britain who call themselves British should support the EDL !!!

That Hindu extremist must have just wanted to use Ghandi's dead body to protect himself from a muslim. Isreal is not defending itself, it is a blatant violent extremist country just like many of the muslim countries in the area.

Yes I did hear, you might want to take a second look at that. They aren't using Hinduism to justify their actions, Ironically they are defending themselves from...guess who!?...muslims. And Israel is defending themselves from ...guess who!?...muslims.

so you defend gangraping? why should i not hate criminals?
