If they go to an airport, do they have to take the niqab off? If they don't, its a security issue. If they can see our faces, why is it fair for them to look at us? The koran has been interpreted differently by many generations of people and is changing constantly. This religion is by far the most unstable religion. There is only one god, and to get there does not mean by having a book tell you what to wear and how you wear it. If you want to wear hijabs in a country that is christian, then live like them too. If your not happy living in Canada, then go to where you came from. We don't want you here if you leave that old country because it was shit. Don't come and fuck up our country.

People need to educate themselves rather than expect the media to tell the truth about Islam. If anyone is wondering about how violence became associated with Islam they need only to look at the origins and the early spread of Islam--it's success was dependent on violence and fear. If more westerners knew the truth about Islam they would reject it more vehemently. If more Muslims started thinking rationally about their belief system they would turn away from Islam. There was a good reason for the Crusades and Christian-predominate cultures shouldn't feel ashamed at this history. Perhaps we need a new Crusade.

for security and safety they should make it mandatory so that every person can be identified. suppose someone wearing a mask or someone who covers there identity wants to do some evil like stab or robbery or steal etc... now they can go in a store and take what they want or stab anyone etc.... its best to implement laws that provides security for people. also its not required for muslims to wear such cloths so why dont just try to obey for purpose of security and safety. i am a hindu and i love canada. why, its because we have an allstar groups of people that try to live in peace. we should keep this way of thought. also making some comprimises like this will go a long way for muslims with other communities as well. they should try to look at the fact that canada is not an islamic country.

this is propaganda to create hatred to divide human race to make Christian against Muslim, most Islamic extremist backed by US intelligence, they show bad things like Muslim as extremist backed by them self, they never show good things like Qatar Muslim county is the richest country in the world, Extremist is only 1 percent of population, can you make conclusion by seeing the 1 percent without see the 99 percent? use your brain to analyse this don't be stupid and believe everything you hear, don't be victim of manipulation, look the comment see how many people believe it how easy to manipulate people

take a good hard look at all the muslim refugees in europe. look at what they are doing and demanding of the host nations and their citizens.\n\nislam is a relgion of hatred, violence, and terror. period there is not radical this or moderate that, islam has principles that ALL obey and swear to follow. like having sins forgiven and going striaght to heaven, if they die in the process of killing infidels. this is NOT radical islam, it is A BASIC PRINCIPLE OF ISLAM. so basic it is like confession to a catholic.\n\nyou are not the same as i. your religion teaches you to hate me and kill me if you can. islam is not pro women, it is not tolerant, and it is not about peace. wake up people!

Well, I am sorry to say but the Western culture teaches all the wrong doings......Nudity, consumption of liquor (alcohol), Fraud, rape, racism etc. How can then it be civilised? America is the no.1 country, developed etc. yet it registers the highest numbers of rape cases. Is this civilisation, modernisation, developed economy?For your kind information, please search google for highest number of rape cases.....People must look at their culture first before voicing out their opinions on other religions.

I am from Bangladesh. I look at all of our countries. Our people made those into living hell. We then move to the West and try and turn those countries into the hell that we fled from!! Such Hypocrites. If you want to wear a Hijab, Burqa, Topi please live in your hell. Don't impose it in Canada or in the West.

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

This head scarf women looks like stone age people.

Omg - She said that covering her (woman's) face, gives them a higher status in Islam. What a bunch of manipulating bull crap the men tell them. And yes, it does defined you. You look scary and indecent in Canadian culture. It doesn't belong here. This country was fought for and built on - Christian/Jewish Faith. That's what our laws provide for. It doesn't provide for Islamic law, nor will it in the future. You don't get to piggy back on the life and death of people who fought and died for their democractic rights. Show me one Muslim country where the people fought for the right to independence and freedom. It doesn't exist anywhere in the world.

The niqab looks ridiculous.  It looks like what a bank robber or someone with a facial defect would wear.  The hijab should not be mandatory either.   Even the Quaran is not specific about the modest attire it prescribes (for both sexes).  There is too much pressure for Muslim women to put on this stupid attire.   It's pathetic that Muslims have to fear speaking out to even mildly criticize their religion and truly horrifying that most Muslims actually support killing people for leaving the religion.

I think its actually astounding how many people Hate Islam and yet no one has done anything to stop the religion. Its literally everywhere you look, in every country in every city, women having 6 kids, taking over schools and entire neighborhoods, the UK now mandating that Arabic be taught in certain schools, is really remarkable that people have *snapped* yet and fought back at whats happening, because Islam will literally be the dominant religion in many european countries by 2030.... thats 15 years away

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.

Terrorism is not a problem people. Wake up, it's propaganda. Harper is pro American and look at the state they are in!\nWith that being said, Muslims need to back the fuck off and stop trying to change the Canadian way. Which means, Merry Christmas, not happy holidays.\nWhich means, if you want to be a cop, you abide by the fucking dress code.\n\netc etc

The woman asked how did Islam get so violent she doesn't know that this has been the entire history of Islam all 1400 years of it,     look up the connection between Islam and the Papasy there is a connection and people will be shocked if they knew.

looks like my country Germany in the Year 1933-1945  \nMuslim Patrol is the same like Hitlers  SS   they punished german people when they not do what they want  (   the same rassist ideology against jews and other religion ...........why you nit kick them ass its your country ???? all people who are against britain you must kick into desert back you cannot live in freedom with your enemys who call sharia or UK go to hell

I am not a Muslim but: in some parts I understand them! Yes, just look at a town, drunken people doing stupid stuff. Police cant catch everyone. No one cares about each other. A little to extrem but not a bad direction at all.

They love to hate others and yet cannot even love themselves .  The direct link to this cause  is what they feed their minds on . Look at their countries ! They have as much room or more to live on and in  and  they choose to live in Poverty and IGNORANCE !?  Were these the great peoples of the Book that we studied about in school ?  Where is the rational mind ? where is the creative and productive soul who has created some thing to be of a benefit to their families or friends or neighbors ? A car bomb ? A suicide bomber ?  Where , For the Love of God are their heads ? 

yeah resist the arest and fuck himself even more lol where do u live dude....burstim him out would look cute if only people werent THIS terrified and scared about their own life and the life of their family, look at tommy robinson, his wife and kids are trheatened day by day by the muslims,this isnt our country anymore

I I am phobic of any religious extremism. Islam is currently the greatest threat, but not far be hind are some of the right wing christian groups. Take a look at Africa and the atrocities committed by Christians there, look at the USA, they are trying to enact Christianity in to law. Religion is a bad thing and its created and used by psychopaths to achieve their agenda of controlling people and getting rich. Its a bad state of affairs.

I have a simple question to you but i seriously doubt you would be able to understand since it looks like you have been brainwashed and possibly molested in your madarsa. \nCan sharia law be established in an Non-Islamic Country? \nIf you want to chop peoples hand off and go around threatening people in the streets then why not movie to Saudi? \nDoes UK not give more rights to Muslims then the so called majority Muslim countries does to its citizens?\nFYI: We don't deny the Ahadith.

No-one looks at people like you because waht you do in day to day life is called being a functioning, contributing human being MILLIONS of people do this EVERYDAY regardless of religion, sex, age, gender colour etc. Do you want an award for being a decent human being & a muslim?? What society has a problem with is the muslim extremists spreading thier ideology of hate, violence & oppression & them trying to impose it in FREE, SECULAR SOCIETIES, is there another religion today that acts this way?

Most are. And if you dont beleive simply look hard at the middle east and places they go too. However I greatly respect the afghanistan military soilders (the ones who dont turn there guns on each other or americans) they have to fight some of the most ignorant people the world has seen since nazi's
