I bet a good number of those Muslim woman look beautiful under those veils \nIt’s a shame that they can’t express it

I am a white English woman. Many year's ago I was walking down the street dressed in jeans and a shirt. A group of Muslim men approached me and surrounded me. They started shouting in my face that I should cover myself up and they spat on me! I was left very badly shaken and in tears!

Muslim woman want to show respect but the Muslim men don’t respect there woman

The woman says it's free country so she can put burkha. But if Muslim become majority in few years than freedom will thrown through the window

Liberals aren’t helping the issue. They are sabotaging the efforts of moderate Muslims to help women attain equality by promoting the ludicrous notion that somehow nikab and hijab is feminist. If a white Canadian woman was to join a cult where she was being exploited , they’d all rally to get her out of it instead of saying “well it’s her choice”. As a woman who once wore it, it isn’t just a garment. It is not a bloody hoodie. It makes you second class simply by virtue of wearing it. It ghettoises those women. They will find it harder to integrate even WITHIN their own community, ie with other more liberal Muslims. They’ll only hang out with each other, and their beliefs become more fundamentalist. It is anything but freeing. It’s a cage.\nFarzana is a hero.

Hahah...!!! ISLAM is LIE.! Since A.D. Why.??!! muslim guy are choose to be muslim why.? They can married 3 wife. First her wife: SISTER, 2nd her DAUGHTER 3rd her MOTHER thats why they women cover her face to avoid identify her self thats the reason muslim woman cover her face.!

Ok im sorry but the muslim woman was wrong there was no terror post 911.\n\nPost means before.

I ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: why this human rights activist who lives here in Toronto fears for her life? She fears that hardcore Muslims will attack her. Mister Trudeau, is she Islamophobic? \n\nAlso, she says a large number of Canadian Muslims sympathize with ISIS. Mister Trudeau, is sympathizing with ISIS acceptable to you? \n\nIf Niqab and Hijab wearing Muslims feel threatened in Canada, why did they choose to come to Canada? Why did they leave their countries where they were all safe and happy? Ask these questions to every Muslim woman. \n\nWake up Canadians! Stand up to liberals who are destructing the hard-earned advancement in human civilization! Stand up now before it is all lost, before it is too late....

If Islam isn’t anti women than why don’t other Muslim men shake my hand? I’m a woman btw

Also She needs to open her mind. No one Muslim Woman is better than the other.

The Woman claiming all Muslim women support ISIS is making a wrong generalization.

Only criminals need to cover their faces. See antifa. Or Muslim woman.

If women are really given a higher status in Islam, why is it that under Islam a woman's testimony is only half that of a man's in Sharia court. A Muslim woman does not have the right to divorce if her husband refuses but the Muslim husband can divorce her anytime and can even marry as many as four wives but the Muslim woman can not. A Muslim woman inherits only half that of a man's in her family under Shariah Law. So how can she say that woman are given a higher status in Islam? More importantly, why is it that a Muslim woman who defies her parents especially in forced marriages become victims of honor killings? Why is it Muslim girls are subjected to female genital mutilation in most if not all Muslim countries?

who's fault is that?\nnonmuslims in muslim nations face actual discrimination and prejudice, lacking freedom of religion varying in many islamic nations\nWITHOUT them doing frequent problematic acts or against even the discriminative laws of the nation\n\nin the west? its secular state free for all religions or background , and most of the religious ones don't want to actually integrate and keep loyalty to the very conservative islamic teachings , and seek to change things (applying elements of sharia law and so on) when they can despite the problems it has created in its real world application, that are totally against the secular values of the west and many other nations\nthen we have the frequent islamist radical terror attacks, as well as the neighborhoods where they transform it to something far from secular\n\nand you're surprised with that? look at those muslim woman in the west got interviewed, burqas.. doesn't care about identification issue in public place, and (in this case, judging by the books actually works out) these are the kinds of muslims with the most conservative mindset, thus the woman clad themselves in ninja suit and the guys with long beards and islamic traditional clothings, those are the most conservative of them, far away from being or appreciating secular\ngiven the chance, 100% absolute assertion that these are the ones that will try to change things to be more islamic, in PUBLIC place as well (the religion is that, political islam and public enforcement based on islamic 7th century values is a common thing when they can)\n\nthe ones who are actually integrating are mostly the less religious, actually secular muslims. Well, you can say actually secular iranians, arabians, turks, and so on (as muslims normally refer to the religion, which is not secular at all)\nthose are the ones that do, the west has been giving stage and empower the wrong group of these people

i didt get what the last woman speaks . *Orthodox islam *\nOrthodox are Christians \nthey kan be arabs but they are not muslim

All the religion is for peace . the problem is bloody politics . hijab is jessus mother dress also .so what you people gonna to say jessus mother. My question who is loving jessys mother christian or muslim woman?\nplaying with innocent people.

I FEEL BAD FOR THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HOW SHE WAS TREATED NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THAT , BUT I AM SORRY I HAVE TO SAY IT LIKE THIS...AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE CAN TAKE THAT OFF , I CAN NEVER TAKE OFF MY BEAUTIFUL MELANATED SKIN EVEN IF I WANTED TO...THE TRUTH TELLER...

I agree racism is an issue but the part with Islam, that is cultural not race. That was proven by the fact the woman actress whose race is Mid Eastern had no idea that other Mid-Easterners suffered these comments when they dressed in obvious Muslim clothing. There is a difference between Race and Culture. Irregardless, we need to treat each other like we want to be treated. All cultures have common things among its members that are unpleasant to people of other cultures. If we realize that about our own culture, we can empathize with others.

For me , in UK, I find a Muslim woman not wearing a hijab is more approachable. To see a full face is important for interaction.\nNothing justifies verbal abuse of course.

The muslim guy says the woman is very well educated how can a education in islam be an education they believe that salt water and fresh water dont mix and the world originated around 6000 years ago and they also belive that their god placed dinosaur skeletons to test their faith I saw that on a muslim interview btw so whatever see u can follow whatever religion u want but dont say I am very well educated but in religious books

The last woman doen't now islam Islam she is using her own thinking or saying what she think is right. We follow the quran and the hadiths. It is important to at least cover it head hair it goes for man and women. the rest is ur choice if u want to cover ur face and whole body. Other then that muslim no matter woman or man should wear big clothes in which private parts shape r unable to be seen. Before anyone reply my question is learn about jesus and his mother marry what kind of clothes they use to wear and have ordered u to wear. If u don't follow his command then u should not call ur self Christians. Because this is not the only command u don't follow.

That woman never reported the attack of course. And knowing Islam as I do I suspect she believes the attach on her hijab took place whether it actually did or not. Look at Friday mosques. Its a men's locker room. It even looks like they are whiffing each others butts. And Muslims should be afraid. We know their prophet was an actual real life desert gangster even if they do not. At least South of the border we are not afraid of you.\n\nGangsters wear masks when they rob places. These women do not even know they are accomplices.

Truth is ISIS just following the Koran Sentence by Sentence, they have publicly confirmed it and you just read Koran English translations and understand that truth, if anybody follow Koran then he is not suitable for your Country at all..most Muslim Woman are good and open like any other Woman in the World, but they are forced to live like slaves for thousands of years by their own men...

I wonder if it was a woman verbally assaulting a Muslim man saying the same kinds of things. Would anyone step up?

listen to the truth muslim woman talks the truth Canada tell trudeau to watch thistell your friends

I agree with this law. For safety reasons. I have a few muslim women friends including two females family members that are muslim and they dont cover their faces. They also agree with this law. we all have the right to see the face of whom is around us. I also know one woman that is not muslim but dresses and covers her face like one. Why she does that I and my neighbours dont know why. She does not talk to anyone about it and only dresses that way when she goes out of the neighbourhood. What are her intentions to do such thing? She is portuguese does not speak arabic only portuguese and broken inglish. When we ask her why she does that we are told to mind our business. We feel that it is our business because she is very strange and like i said before she only dresses that way when she goes out of the area that she lives in. What is she up too? And like her how many more is out there doing this and why? Whthout any offence to the muslim people SAFETY should come first to everyone.

When I hear the Muslim speak they seem to always misinterpret what is being said. Harper did not say he's anti-woman, he said the culture is anti-woman. A Muslim man said that when the woman wears the niquab she will not be raped.

All Muslim woman can fellow any man to satisfied their lust and sex urge otherwise they not allow to enter heaven with Allah that's why they cover completely to avoid get caught for adultery act. In Islam woman not enough for man need because man consume more woman than any other religion.Those man no woman they can commit adultery with married woman that why they cover head to toe so that they cannot get caught and also not to stir emotions among the husband and their families.

you know why the Muslim woman cover up completely because avoid caught for committing adultery.

Im sorry did the muslim woman say wearing a hijab is a sign of honor and makes them more important then men? Brainwashing at its finest

THIS BRAVE WOMAN IS INTELLIGENT AND HELPING TO FREE MUSLIM WOMEN WHETHER THEY HEAR IT OR NOT PROBABLY THEIR CHILDREN WILL BECOME REAL CANADIANS AND AMERICANS

They wear niqab's bcus Muslim men cannot control themselves and their deviant sexual urges so they use rape as an excuse. Then they blame it on the woman.

O My God ! She thinks wearing her mask is honor ? She does not know why muslim women have to cover there face ? There being brain washed ! All the muslim women keep saying the same thing over and over again that they are in fear of there lives if they say something . On and on!  One woman said if she talks to a reporter her husband will kill her . On and on and on . Woman can not show there face in Saudi , speak, vote , drive , talk to a muslim man , wear make up is that Honor ? I'm telling you there stupid as drunken hill bill !

Right ! Lets find the terrorist before they kill more people ! take your mask off ! Fear for your life ? Lets  find them and arrest them and deport them back to there homes ! Muhammad was another Charles Manson psychopath ! Follow me and I will led you 72 virgins ! What kind of fruit cake is this ?  21 years old and she does not know what sharia has done to woman around the world . Saudi is proof of what happens to muslim women .

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.

It is no more than a CULT.\nThese woman are brainwashed to believe this bull.\nLet them go to a Muslim Country and do this

This articulate Muslim woman talks about politicans creating fear that may or may not be warranted. But undoubtedly, there is fear for anyone who criticises Islam. And drawing a cartoon of the prophet will, literally, get you slaughtered. THAT is concerning to people who wish to live in a modern society.

Muslims do not will not and do not want to assimilate, respect or uphold our western traditions, values, rules or laws...they need to go back to their home where they can live with the same sick mind set class of people. I have always said, as I too have been very involved with Muslims as my ex husband was Muslim, Muslims have no neighbors, they have no love or compassion, they cannot do not and will not be a respector of any Christian beliefs or values of any kind, Why do they want to live in our free countries when they despise freedom. They are not here for freedom, they hate freedom of every kind. it is very clear from the Qu'ran, that I have read. They hate our culture, they despise our free speech, they despise Christian's they despise our dress (apparel) they despise any form of woman's rights. When I lived in Egypt it was extremely rare to see a woman ride a horse, drive a car, ride a bike or go swimming, or even jogging. I was a rare exception because I was American and did all of the above, however none of my female friends could or would do any of the things that I just mentioned. Ask yourself, why the hell are they coming to our home lands?!?!

fuck all muslims if u choose a western country to live in nothing wrong with that but live as a human being dontcover ur fucking face burca is the greatest downfall of islam ,it is an insult for woman and i dont understand logic bhind it.thank God i am not a low life islam

why are most muslim woman fat? anyone understand that?

when a Muslim woman wears this it's dangerous but when a Nun wears the same thing she's a holy spirit woman!!! Fuck this shitty logic.

I honestly cant believe that any western woman would want to be a Muslim.

Muslims dont know how to be secular in public life. Does every Christian woman wear a Big Giant Cross? NO!

islam is a very peacefull religion but some people are going in the wrong direction.like talibans who are the most extremists among us even they don't deserved to be called muslims.but wearing nikab is a muslim trend and according to islam a woman should hide her face from strangers.many muslim womans all over the world wear nikab as their own intention.so plz don't think of islam to be wrong.islam is always right but some bad people have shown it as an act of violence.

I am a muslim and everybody think that those guys who kill are real Islamic people , they are going to hell that what God said . First thing is that Islam is a peace religion and there is nothing to do with killing. Second thing there is God called Allah, who is the only God in this world and next one, doesn't want killing and deaths and in our religion God told and warned us not to kill people because he is the only one who kills and takes lives from people and we are harmed to kill. Third thing God told us that who kills one person as if he killed the whole people and that guy is going to hell. God said if a woman wants to cover her  body completely or does she want to cover her body except her face and hands its okay but the hair must be covered. THE PEOPLE YOU SEE IN THE BREAKING NEWS COVERED WITH MASK AND KILL  PEOPLE ARE NOT MUSLIM THEY ARE OUT OF ISLAM AND THEY ARE GOING TO HELL.

I've heard everything now, a Muslim woman with a Valley Girl accent.

I wish the leftist liberals would give more support to the reformist muslims like the woman in this video.

The Muslim woman they interviewed is NOT a Muslim. To be a Muslim, you must follow a VERY strict set of rules, and she's not covering her face. Why associate yourself with that shit religion if if you're not even going to follow the rules?

If you don't want to assimilate and follow Canadian customs go back to whatever hellhole you crawled out of. Canada has a set of laws and WILL NOT allow sharia law to be practised. If the woman in the blue niqab wants to be a better Muslim she should recant her faith and flee that misogynist death cult.

So being a better Muslim is more important than being a better Canadian. The woman is guilty of provoking mens desire- women are the baddies!
