I think this whole thing stinks...if you do not want to accept a countries values and ways, don't show up...we do not want this crap in Canada...bottom line, I do not feel safe any longer in Canada for my children or grandchildren...send them back!

If you dont feel comfortable here move away from Canada. We dont want to be a muslim country. Why dont you as muslims accept our country values and customs.

They come to our country and refuse to accept our cultural beliefs one is that anyone covering their nose & mouth we see as a threat. Covering your face is done to hide your identity when committing a crime. That is our cultural belief, and they need to respect it.\nHow can I trust anyone wearing 'a rag top & face covering; and off topic even a hoodie. \n\nSorry, but in a free country we do have the rules that allow us to ban certain items of clothing worn on the street. Men & women are not allowed to wear a T-shirt, shoes, and as simple belt exposing mother nature's reproductive organs. Why? We are a free country after all. It is because that manner of dress offends the majority. Na jabs offend the majority of Westerners in our culture, this new land they NEED to adopt to as we would need to adopt to their culture should we move to the Middle East.\n\nFrankly, if they can not adapt, they should be refused a VISA or work permit as they are a threat to our culture. France has every right to protect it's culture. Enough I have gone on and on. Thanks for reading my opinion.

The UK courts have just imposed restrictive orders on Britain First, a political party, from entering Luton Town Centre. This has been done to appease Muslims as it is an area that has a high Muslim population. I am no supporter of Britain First and many of their membership are right wing thugs, but to ban people from an area because they hold anti-Islam views is effectively state sponsored non-Sharia no-go zones - it is time for the population of Europe to stand up to the invasion of Europe that has been going on for decades and has recently been accelerated significantly by the 'migrant' crisis. Islam has been trying to invade Europe for centuries - we even fought Crusades to stop the expansion, Charles Martel will be turning in his grave!!! Muslims, it is time to assimilate and understand that your barbaric and violent ideology deserves no special treatment or protection or leave for a country that supports your primitive world view! You victim complex is no longer being accepted by the majority population!!!!

Canada's cold, expensive & boring. The people here spend 1/3 of their time talking about America and the other 2/3 about hockey and how accepting and 'nice' they are. Our country hates Americans yet they rely on American brands, tv etc. For their livelihood and know more about their political situation than their own. I want to move sooo badly

What's the craze with muslims being a target? There's never no experiment with Hindus and they get treated with racism too... or are hindus accepted with the white/english.american community now?

My advice to all Muslims convert to Christianity... You need to accept the Lord Jesus Christ because without Jesus Christ you will NOT enter heaven.....

My advice to all Muslims convert to Christianity... You need to accept the Lord Jesus Christ because without Jesus Christ you will NOT enter heaven.....

if your coming to our free countries know we have laws...that ALL must follow ..not say a religion protects you from our laws ...want your religion to rule you over laws of free people...go to a country that will accommodate your religion....I will not accept your religion or imaginary laws that don't apply here in our free countries

The west need to ban the religion of Islam before its too late. If the peaceful Muslims who preach Islam stood up to these islamic radicals alongside the people of the country they now are living it would be more accepted.

Any Muslim who accepts OUR culture is welcome. Any Muslim who believes in equal rights for women, is welcome. Any Muslim who believes in the rights of the LGBTQ community, is welcome. Any Muslim who wants to come to America, must put their allegiance to America over Islam. If you have a problem with those things, don't come.

*I thought Canada was full of extremely nice, accepting, and tolerant people...* it seems I was wrong. It's just about as bad as everywhere else.

if you wanna wear niquab fuck back to pakistanm. if you live here, you must integrate and accept our values. headscalf is more of a cultural thing than a religious thing

I don't get why would women wear such a dress. I know that a lot of women do it because of choice as well and a lot of them are forced to. However, if those who choose to accept the nakab are essentially indoctrinated from birth.

islam is a cult, and as such should be eradicated, they create fear and violence, they refuse to accept the law of the land , ban the burka, in a society that is free it has no place. if they continue to cover the faces , they must be locked up and their freedom taken away

This is part of the enemies plan. To accept islam is to accept satan. Justin Trudeau is a convert of islam! This is the beginning of a larger plan! Satan places his disciples in the highest power positions in the end times. Its here. This is why Trudeau had such a landslide victory. Its part of the plan.

If Stephen Harper had the balls to say that, he should've been re-elected. Muslims shouldn't speak their opinion about this because it's brainwashing to the naive liberals and further increase the Muslim population and making it socially acceptable.

*Time is running out! Read the Book of Truth and prepare for The Warning, the Illumination of Conscience. Christ Time which is entwined with the Divine Will of God the Father is almost upon us. The Warning will purify God’s children in preparation for Christ's Second Coming. Seek redemption for your sins with a purity of heart, purify your souls through fasting, prayer and penance. This will help ease your suffering of penance at The Warning. This is frightening for many and very difficult to digest. Yet it is the Truth. The more people that are forewarned of this event, the more souls will be saved. For those who find difficulty with the Truth given to you now through God's final end time prophet, His 7th Messenger, you must ask God for the Gift of the Holy Spirit before you can open your ears to hear His Voice to the Truth of His Holy Word and to the instructions that He gives us so that you can have Eternal Life. There are many revelations now being imparted to us so that we know how to prepare ourselves properly. Relish the Gift of prophecy from God. Don’t reject it and don't allow the devil to plant doubts in your mind. Ignore this warning from Heaven and you will suffer more than is necessary. The time for the end times draws very close now. Prepare now for this Great Event. Pray for God’s Mercy. Prepare to face God for soon the skies will explode, split and the Fire of the Holy Spirit will be upon us all!   The BOOK of TRUTH ~ Online  ~  My BOOK of TRUTH ~ Online with Select Language  ~  ((The abundance of every possible Gift, including miracles from Heaven has now been manifested in the BOOK of TRUTH for the good of all – The Book promised to the whole of humanity for these end times. Accept it with a gracious heart and give thanks to God for one of the last Gifts from Heaven before the Great Day.))*

Muslim lady speaks outside of her house and discusses issues we have with the religion, because of this she fears for her safety from her own community. It shows the deep problems we have with the western values and the Muslim community, yet here we have people tip toeing around the issue saying we have no problem, its religion and beliefs and peace and love and we should just accept all Muslim communities even tho this lady is telling you the problems right in front of your faces. There is so many videos you can find showing that Muslim community neighbourhoods do not want non-Muslim's in there community and they want Sharia law and they are not tolerant to outsiders and anyone that thinks different to them, even those from within there own community. 2 good examples are the town Dearborn, Michigan and Luton Town, UK of just how lack of tolerance for non-Muslim people in Muslim majority communities they have.

Is there any secular country in this world that accepts human rights, sexual and reproductive rights, scientificaly driven nations and abhors christianism and Islamism or religion in general?

Nice program.. It seams for some reason the western civilization has been burdened with this problem of Racism, Prejudism and other phobia .. I am a Transgender person. I feel safe in Canada. So should everyone else. BUT Here is the devils advocate in me.. If I went to a different part of the world, would I have the same rights and freedoms as I do here.? Probably not!  Canada is about change. Canadian's accept change, but so should the people who come here. Don't lose your religion, values, or culture. keep them close! but embrace new ones.. Canada is a new world now! We fight hate on all levels!

They come here and then get angry that we didn't really want them here, so go home then for fuck sakes. Their country is the one ravaged by war and bullshit, and that's their own faults because their religion is so fucking archaic and they're so consumed with annihilating anything that's not in line with Sharia. This isn't just about being Anti anything, it's about appreciating the freedoms and rights I do have, and not wishing to relinquish them to make others who aren't at home feel that way.\n\nIf someone comes over to your house uninvited do you invite them with open arms? Fuck no, you send them home or begrudgingly accept the circumstances forced upon you , and they have no right to be angry with you because of it.

I've sat back and waited for events like this to happen. Muslims go back to your country and stay the hell out of Canada. Canada shows you kindness and put you guys in hotel rooms till we can have the PROPER housing FOR YOU, and while you are there you tear up the bible in your hotel room. IS that how you show your thanks to us? Listen if you have a problem with the bible give it back to the hotel, the bible doesn't belong to you to do as you please with it...I stand by what I have been saying, they need to go...Fuck all Muslims go back to your country where that behaviour is acceptable.

The western world is under attack it is an attack that is being supported by our own governments under the guise of freedom of religion we are being forced to accept beleifs and ideology that we not only dont agree with but in many ways find despicable but if anyone dares to raise the alarm he is attacked by the media as a bigot and a rascist effectively shutting down discussion of the problem. WE must stand together and forcefully let the leadership know that we are not all blind idiots like those who protest against anyone who sees the reality of the situation, they are not rascists as you claim but people who see where this is going unlike yourselves.

@5.33 that woman interviewee in hijab (veil) is literally telling the unveiled interviewer that she (the interviewer) by not wearing the hijab is indicating that she is 'available' to anyone! Despicable attitude, to say the least. And the interviewer is accepting the slur with a straight face!

In west we associate masked people with killers, thieves, assassins and such. Because women are pretty equal to men, not at 100% but pretty close we desire women to be identifiable when on the streets just as men are identifiable on the streets. So covering your face will probably not be accepted if ever by diverse population like USA that harbours so many different religion on one space and all are supposed to be tolerant and accepted by others. Choice or not women cover their faces so that when men see them they won't have impure thoughts about them. You're not being respectful towards them by covering yourself, you acknowledge that they are weak in flesh and that it is a woman's fault that they are weak in flesh.

why europe does not let free women what they dress? walking in bikini is acceptable? waaaw, does the mother of Jesus PBUH dress like christians? is Gods law's only for church women? when you ask this nonsense questioon why does man do not cover his face then you should ask your God why man do not give birth a child same like women? actually you people do not have a bit of sense.

the reason why i hate islam is , they dont have universal acceptence , they consider there religion to be the only true religion and all others to be foolish

I do not see why we cannot get rid of the burka by invoking existing civil law of not wearing a disguise in public.  To hide your identity as a back robber would is not allowed.  This burka is pure craziness.  I will fight against its acceptance in Canada tooth and nail.

So I can walk around in a full faced motorcycle helmet with just my eyes showing and be able to function in society within its laws and policies. Look at Europe , refugees not accepting help but then wanting to sue the governments who took them in . Riots rapings and violence hostility , no jobs or plans for jobs . So many men that think woman are the lesser. preaching hate and racism , death threats . Damm they are getting more rights and support than our own citizens receive and do activities that if we citizens done, we would be incarcerated . I certainly dont want large groups of men running rampant looking proud to create chaos running around with bats and swords. I also see the authorities having little effect on resolving the chaos. Some on open source media have claimed to demand money or they will rape. GTFO no thanks

lets act like them, if you see a nikab, just tell her you take it off, or i kill you, if a grownup women is stupid enought to wear that in Canada, she doesn t deserve any respect or rights, Would you respect somebody wearing the nazi uniform ? Same thing, WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT, ENOUGHT CANADIANS DIED TO PROTECT FREEDOM TO LET GO TO SWEET TALKER.

dont tolerate radical islamists...they dont accept western culture but benefit from everything there and top of that they want the sharia. send them back to their lovely sharia countries where they can hate everything and fuck each other up.

why would we accept a religion that takes all human rights from woman, have we forgotten that it took decades to be where we are? it is anti-woman, Harper is right.

Khan? Why don't you go to a place that accepts your BS. You do not belong here. A better muslim is one who is hiding behind a piece of cloth.

The problem is Muslims always feel like everyone who doesn't follow their religion is on a lower level. So they have this attitude that we are all sinners on our way to hell. They bring that attitude and hatred to our peaceful Countries. As for us We allowed them into our Countries cause We accept all People.

Islamic culture does not want to accept any other culture or religion. If you dont feel safe, move to an Islamic nation.

I'd just read many of the comments on here and wtf are you people smokin'? Whatever it is, you got some bad stash. Time to face reality. We are all human. We all have religions or spirituality. We may be different, but we are still intrinsically cut from the same block. So cut the paranoid crapola. Live together in peace as God instructed ALL of you to do. Don't buy into Government propagated paranoia over any one set of people. Here in America, it was anti native American, then anti black, then Anti Irish, now that those two groups are accepted it's anti-muslim. Meanwhile the native Americans are still Native Americans, the black people are still black and the Irish are still Irish and nothing has changed but public attitude. Don't let the media tell you what to think. Don't be afraid of what you don't understand. Educate yourself on what is real. What is Islam. Who are Arabs. And for God's sake stop being SHEEPLE!

How do you expect to be accepted into a community when we can't see your face? It is sending a message that you want no part of our society.

I don't care if you wear hijab but covering face all the time and refusing to take pictures for lisence and passport is not okay. also when the whole world has problem with your religion maybe there must actually be problem you have to fix and not act like you are the victims. we have right to be careful and no its not fair to you but this is what people who follow Islam faith and harm others get you. Islamic people out cry for their right but have to problem taking others away. for example wanting daycares to ban pork just because they can have porn. you should not get special treatment for you religion. I am Hindu/Buddhist and I do not ask people to stop eating beef or many other restrictions that apply to me. the pride of your religion is what's keeping you guys from sensible thinking. and no not all Muslims are the same but the percentage of people that share hatred for other religions is too great too ignore. if you want people to accept you then try becoming a part of the culture and not try to change it for your liking. show love to other faiths and athiests. stop trying to make exceptions for your religion.

this 'muslim women' not wearing nikab is so full of shit its not even funny. why is indonesia and malyasia islamic countries. did muslims go there and start wars, NO. these asians accepted the religion because of their research and analysis of authentic textual evidence. spain was a muslim country for years and those years in history contained some of the best times for civil justice in that region. the reason she's not covering her hair probably has to do with the fact that arabic is not even her first language and if you put a gun to this chicks head and told her to recite surat al faitha (something muslims suppose to say 17 times per day) she couldnt do it in a million years. this same woman also said in the interview that the sixth pillar of islam is jihad\nin fundementalism and thats a lie. the sixth pillar of islam is considered to be al kadr (believe in predistination) and the fact that this ignorant woman had the call to go on national televison and speak about islam like she actually knew or understood anything is dispicable because non of the shit that this stupid bitch said in the interview was factually correct about the religion , so why don't you get the actual facts citynews you bunch of dusters and stop airing fear mongering macivalian style tatics to slowly rip away human rights to freedom of self expression to prodominately new immigrant canadians. these fresh immigrants have been through enough with out you rich good looking assholes shitting all over them. you anti-islam people are dicks

Please Canada.. dont accept them.. they'll destroy your civilitation\nLook whar they do to UK now...

I used to be a very liberal person for most of my life and tolerant of other cultures and religious faith, like many others I may add.\n However my tolerance is wearing somewhat thin, like many others I may add again, after hearing the same old opinions coming from Muslims repatriated in western societies. \n They come into our cultures on mass and never assimilate into ours, but create their own little pockets of cultural being within our national borders.\n We hear time and again how the indigenous populist must be accepting of them, even though very few are accepting of our culture, using an analogy it's akin to inviting a stranger into your home and give them a safe place to live, food, money and all items that go along with it, and the next thing their sat on your favourite chair with your remote in their hand, even going to bed with your wife!\n We need to wear our head covering it's our right they chant, OK then, afford the same favours to us in your country, let my partner wear her bikini when she's walking down the road, let us drink alcohol, build Christian churches, you get where I'm going with this.\n If it's so great there why do you choose to live here? All the customs you seek are there if you feel that uncomfortable here? \nGiving Sewden as an example, there are now 180 Muslim 'ghettos' not the same you get in the US as the accommodation and welfare is quite generous there, a lot of them are 'No-go' areas even for the police, they mostly hate the Swedish people, a criminal element there will only rob off the swedes, and rape has gone up tenfold committed mostly by the Muslims, and it's only going to get worse as they are accepting another forty thousand of them, even though they have a crisis of a shortage of housing. \n If you ever needed an example of when your political parties have totally lost the plot, and are insanely progressive and what your country could become, then use Sweden as a barometer as to what your country could also decay into.\n The Muslims hate use, hate our freedoms, and just think of us as 'infidels' , multiculturalism has proved on this scale that it does not work, unless immigrants come with the mindset that they assimilate into the culture they are heading for, not the other way around.

why don`t u practice ur fuckin religion in ur fucking homes... Canada will never accept u

now accepted the Trojan Horse in Canada n Europe works. Listen their sermon contents only politics in their Mosque and schools. And their english soft peacefully interpretations on quran n hadis..not the same as in Arab letters/characters.

I do not accept Islam as a religion because it was founded by a false prophet. My question is how does any woman feel closer to her God by wearing the niqab? I really don't see the relation. I agree with banning it simply because a jihadist wore it to try and escape capture. The public needs to feel safe and that's impossible if you're checking out everyone in a niqab.

You know, you won't accept a religion that covers their womens face and hides their identity.

You come to Canada for whatever reason then you Should convert yourself to be Canadian !!\nWe Canadians take take Great Offensive when you want Canadians to bend to your will and that will never Work !!!!\nthere's a lot of other countries that would accept you're ideology ...But Canada will not !!!!\nbe a Canadian we are not in Your Country YOU'RE IN OURS !!!! \nassimilate to our country or leave !!!!

We can't cover up or we get charged with wearing a disguise . Why should they get away with it ? If you can't uncover go back to the country that allows and accepts them, we don't .

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.

How about trying to be a better Canadian? That's why you came here and accepted Canadian citizenship.
