You need to defend what you have, you are losing it, england lost it, sweden and germany lost it, and WILL NEVER GET IT BACK. EVEN IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND LATER, and rend your clothing, and cover yourselves with ashes. You will never get it back.

Hinduism treat whole world is our family and treat guests like God, Muslims remove burqa in there house and Rome but when they come outside they treat other ppl as bad ppl so they used to cover there face and identity in burqa.

Ok not gonna lie. She probably got more money with hijab/none cause she is pretty. With the niqab covering her entire face she earns less. Humans are always superficial

It is an honor to be covered?

And only Isis covered there faces ,so that means Isis have moved to Canada ???

I don’t know what’s problem with non muslims these days do they tell there women to dress according to their satisfaction in islam wearing or not wearing hijab doesn’t make you a good muslim nor a bad muslim at the day of judgement your good deeds will be counted not if she wore a hijab or she didn’t \nWhat if this person implements that every women should cover there bodies and makes wearing shorts banned in Canada so wouldn’t you all be offended and protest against that and would say that we want freedom of expression \nSo we should respect everybody’s culture and religion

its really scary when we see women covering whole body with burka and roaming in streets of canada if u live in canada follow canadian culture . or else please go back to where u come from. when they form almost 40% then they will start ruling canadians. there are good muslims but they way muslims dressed feel others unsecured. so we request you to get back to your home country.....

If there is nothing sexist or oppressive about Muslim women covering their faces, ask yourself this simple question, why don't the men cover themselves in the same way?

Re: the fundraiser. What do you expect? Who can trust anyone collecting money while wearing a mask? It goes against basic human nature to cover your face while asking a stranger for their trust. Also, her sign is vague. Who even knows what country the flag represents? I think the producers set this up to specifically provoke a reaction.

Well they didn’t deny it! And they wear it to bother us cause there is no need to wear it here. They want us to know who they are and that they’re here. Intimidation! They just don’t want us to see their face. They say they’re afraid we’ll they make us afraid behind a sneaky face cover

How the F**k does the rag on your face bring you to God? how, hey...blah blah blah...public money for public schools...burka, really...it's polyester....why men don't cover cuz they are arseholes...blah fab...wutever

...they don't respect Canadian laws, so go the F**k bak!!!! We need to house our homeless, own backyard...go the F**k bak!!! their safety my arse...really go back!!!!!!!! u made the choice to cover your f**king body wear yor skin does not breathe and how the f**k do u eat...go back if you don't like our laws

Canada is not a desert region, why should they cover{ muslims } their faces.

Niqab is not compulsory in islam. Hijab is compulsory. Woman need to cover their hair, but not their face.

Islam is religion of Satan!!Islamic women they cover there face like Demons (Jinn)!!....Surah al jinn 72 (this is the verse of Demons!! True living God is in book of torah,psalm and gospel! Praise the Lord God of Israel for might name of LORD JESUS!

I'm not Muslim but if you read your bible it also stated that woman should keep their heads covered and they should not wear pants. Christians don't follow the bible yet they criticize other religions when they religion states the same thing. ??????

and canadians voted trudeau? go figure!? a cover up is a cover up!

My problem with women covering their faces is that that men are not allowed by law to cover their faces, so why would a certain group of women have this right. Women SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN A HIGHER STATUS because we should be EQUAL to men. People easily use freedom of choice as an argument to defend every single thing they do. I WISH, I WISH, I WISH they would advocate for freedom of choice in their country of origin. I wish they would fight for human rights the way they do when they come to the Western World. And saying that covering your face doesn't define you is complete bulls*** because when we ask you to take it off suddenly it becomes who you are as a person. As a Canadian Christian woman of Lebanese origin (second-generation immigrant), I love everyone... jews, muslims, hindus, ... you name it. But what I don't like is HYPOCRITES.

There is no need to fear. It's just a piece of cloth to cover oneself from prying eyes for those who do not enjoy unwanted glances. It is being modest and purer. It's a lady's choice. Clothes do not define a person but manners and traits and personality do. So judge a person not just by clothes but by their manners and thinking and how they are in day to day life.

Honor killing is a cultural practice not islamic n everyone hs their own right either cover all or be nude

This is how Islam brain washes innocent people... She says she wears niqab just to tell that she isn't available for everyone and she herself exposed islam by this statement because then men doesn't cover because they're available for everyone thats why they marry as many girls as they want to... She is not available for everyone that why she is ready to share her husband with 2-3 more..

If a man walk into a bank with his face cover what will be the reaction to the bank tellers .....so why do you want to come to a society that do not practice does customs ...i f a woman come to your country it is a offense for them not to cover their face or head then you muslim woman want to push your way in other countries that do not practice your custom...solution .......GO back to your country and keep your ways..

Wearing a burqa is just weird, imagine the world not knowing what a person looks like. Why did god make a face for women if eventually he wanted it covered ?

Cover yourself at your home. Should not be allowed in parks, banks , stores and city courthouses covered up like your in Alaska.

No where does it say in the Quran that a women has to cover\nIt only says to dress modestly. \nThus is a cultural thing regarding wearing a hijab;niquab\nDon't fall for it

Covering yourself give you higher respect?

but face coverings are not part of Islam. The Koran does not say to wear it.

Canada is a racist country. We should all be tolerant like they are in Afghanistan and Syria. They love me to wear my crucifix and cowboy hat over there in those muslim countries. They love me to preach from the Bible. And yes It is okay if some of the Muslim women cover their faces....no really .

As a muslim lady i should say that there's nothing about covering face in Quran. only headscarf is obligatory in islam not nikab. Nikab is culturel thing not islamic. Bcoz every country put something from their culture in religions. Nikab is just one of them.

We need to have a little bit of compassion for Muslims who are struggling with this. Imagine that you were born into Islam. You didn't ask for it. You just happened to be unlucky enough to be born into a Muslim country and raised under it. It's not their fault that they believe what they believe. \nWe need to help them to free them from the chains of Islam. The way to help them and free them from Islam is by educating them with the truth. It's difficult for them to accept because they have devoted their entire life to it. It's also quite a shock when they see all of the errors in the Quran which is supposed to be the pure word of an all-powerful and all-knowing God. Then they see things like- the sun revolves around the earth and sets in a pool of muddy water. It's like somebody telling you that your dear friend has been lying to you for the last 50 years of your life. You just can't believe it. You don't want to believe. You defend your friend, you love your friend. \n\nSo instead of insulting these poor Muslim people try helping them by suggesting that they read the Koran cover to cover from beginning to end. Then they will see for themselves that this 7th century book conflicts with modern scientific and historical knowledge. That's when they will realize that Muhammad invented the entire thing so that people would obey him and treat him like a god on Earth. That's when they will realize that he was a 7th century man who knew nothing about the scientific knowledge that we have now in this century. That's when they will realize that the Quran is filled with threats of punishment and violence for not believing and not obeying the supposed word of God given to them by Muhammad. Muhammad put harsh punishments in it so that they would submit out of fear. This is why Islam is so violent. \n\nTo our Muslim friends in humanity. I'm so sorry that you were lied to. So sorry that you wasted much of your life devoting it to Islam. I'm so grateful to those of you who have not followed the violence of Islam commanded in the Quran. But now you are free with the truth. Go and live your life in Peace and freedom. Love your fellow humans and help your fellow humans. Try to spread the truth to other Muslims and help them. Follow the example of apostate prophet who is trying to help Muslims with his you tube videos.\n I urge all Muslims to read the entire Quran. Don't let non-muslims like me know more about the Quran than you do. If you don't think that the scientific facts conflict with the Koran, then read the entire Quran and look up the scientific facts. If you really search for the truth you will find it.

Face cover will not make you closer to your faith. Nonsense\nWhat makes you closer to faith is be good muslim and your worship is between you and God only.\nI am wearing scarf but dont agree with niqab and burka. There is not God's order fir such. Everyone should show face!!!

I have seen a few that made me wish they would cover their heads..too many cousin to cousin marriages?

My parents live in Ontario and they’re Muslim. My Mom doesn’t wear either head scarf or a face covering, however she does wear it while praying at home or at the mosque.\n\nWhy I left Islam is a very long story. It didn’t seem right how after 9/11 Muslims around the world were celebrating, including my uncles and cousins back home. I came to Christ in 2010 and I’m so blessed to be saved by grace. I’m so glad I have a choice to love God and not forced any more. I’m really worried for this lady Farzana, I’m sure she gets death threats by other Muslims. I experienced it myself when I told a Muslim man I no longer practiced Islam, and that I’m a believer in Christ. He was furious! I told my parents how I got away and even though they are devout Muslims, they realize how I am in danger and my Mom told me I shouldn’t tell other Muslims about my faith. I told her I wasn’t gonna deny Jesus. She worries about me but I told her, I know my destiny for a fact. I had a personal encounter with Jesus and there’s no way I can deny Him. My only prayer is my family will know Christ and one day we will be in heaven together. I’m looking forward to that day. I honestly don’t want to be here in this awful, world where there is so much hate. I want to be with my Savior soon. I don’t even care if I’m killed by a Jihadi. If that’s how God will show my parents how corrupt Islam is then so be it. I just want them to know Christ.

Give Mohammed credit. He took a head/body covering and made it into a symbol of conquest and dominance. That man was a genius in warfare.

They don’t want us to cover ourselves yikes.

What kind of people these Muslims? In this 21st century, these women are forced to cover their faces, the men are getting radicalized in the name of Islam, etc. I doubt do they really lead normal human life as the rest of the World does.?

If you cover up your body.........you can not get vitamin D from the sun......and that folks IS A MEDICAL FACT.............IDIOTS, and their back ward religion.

I look at this title: Muslims in Canada: Anti-Islamic sentiment a growing concern, and I look at the thumbnail photo of 2 muslim women w/ their face fully covered then I watch this interview w/ them talking through all that cloth that's smothering their face w/ just their eyes peeping out and yes, I'm growing more concerned all the time. I'm sane. Concern is the only sane response to people walking around w/ their faces covered in public. It's dangerous, it's a total culture clash, it's creepy and unsettling as heck and it's totally anti social. You can't normalize this.

Those who cover their faces are sick

Trudeau is a MURDERER! VOTE ANDREW SCHEER AND GET TRUDEAU OUT!!!!!!!! MUSLIMS FRIGHTENED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF CANADIANS WHEN TRUDEAU BROUGHT THIS LOT IN! NOW THE TABLES ARE TURNED THEY GAVE THE NERVE TO BE WORRIED!!!!!!! THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN LET IN. CANADA IS NOT THE SAME COUNTRY ANYMORE!!!!! Why not live in a Muslim country where their religion and culture is theirs!!!!!!!! In a muslim country Christian's would not be allowed to practice their religion or wear their own clothing! Bulldust the women have to cover their faces as their MEN INSIST they look unattractive to men outside the home!! It is a chauvinistic religion and men do not accept women as equals and are expected to be subservient!

Antifa, bandits/thieves, Isis, Muslim woman all cover their face. They all seem like peaceful humans like everyone else that are not looking for trouble. I often go into a bank covering my face with a long black cloak on and no one seems to bat an eye while laying on the ground and covering their heads. What's the problem?

It is written also in the bible women should cover their head if they dont shave her hair off... Atleast Quran dosent say tht muslim women do it by their choice i will suggest all the christians go home read bible.. If you people want mother mary in bikini go ahead but muslims womens know how to keep their dignity....

As a Myslim, I object covering face. These Muslims who give justification on face covering are probably doing this as a form of rebellion against Islamophobia.

that lady who is not covering know nothing about Islam...I am sure she don't pray..I think her parents are muslims and she is a Muslim by background and just by the name

They shouldn’t be allowed to cover the face in public. I can’t wear a mask in public, and it’s all about equality. I’m all for tolerance, but only people who are tolerant of the laws of the land.

Walking into a bank with your face covered is a bad idea.

It is a political not to integrate into the society they are in, but it is also a family attempt to be modest ( cover up the body). It is a clash of cultures and an effort to be superior and above the law.

What a bulshit these women are talking about. Look how cheeky they are!!! They simply know that you never going to read quran. Women are covered in this evil doctrine in order not to arouse the man. Women are blamed if they ignite desire in men.\nWhat a shity dirty lies them Muslims are telling.\nWell, the lie repeated in infinity becomes the true

I don't agree with the Hijab it covers her face completely so you just don't know who they are, , it's not ok to wear a balaclava or a Motorcycle helmet in a bank or any government building or basically any shop / store so why should they ,there's a serious threat to the western world it's happening in Europe and the UK Muslim extremists spreading the hateful word's of Islam and there Ideology !

The coverings are so Muslim men wont have impure thoughts and sin. As nothing to do with respect . Just lies lies and more lies
