niqab, hijab, burqa, and other clothes are not necessery, where Quran say to wear it ? this is resentiment from medieval pre- medieval and even pre-islam time, it is tradition not being better muslim, muslims connect this wearing with religion but it's mistake it has nothing common, it's like Scots in kilts as everyday outfit. It sensless. Probably this clothes were made to protect women from middle-east sun, long before Mahomet, in Cananda sun is weak so ..

Interesting how you all are spewing hate towards Muslims. I bet most of you probably support freedom of expression and all sorts of other things, yet if people want to follow a faith, you want to rip them to shreds. How are you any better than an extremist? Anyway, this video is laden with misrepresentation of Muslims yet again. Have a nice day folks and don't be so mean.

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.

Wearing the niqab in a western country is like saying - Thanks very much for taking me in & giving me a better life in your country but fu*k you & fuck your values & culture.. It's so rude. Integrate or go back to a muslim country.

Im muslim and i dont know whats he deal with the niqab, just eove the niqab, this is 21st century, you can't walk into a supermarket, mall, airport or any other locations with the niqab, it's lile your hoding your identity. If you disagree with theae laws , then go back to your own great 'Islamic ' countries....Canada gives you a better quality of life and you beat the hand that feeds you . Sometimes we complicate things that we don't need to.\nIm okay with Canadian government banning the niqab and it's necessary for safety, you have to have an open minded muslim to understand this

To cover your face makes you a better muslim ??

A better muslim? How about a better human being? Self righteousness is at the core of islam. A false sense of piety over everyone else including fellow muslims.The christ dealt with the hypocrisy of self righteous deluded holier than thou saducees and pharisees in his day.All forms of self righteousness and an outward show of piety is only self agrandisment, ego run amok,or just plain conning people into thinking one is a holy or special individual. Just lies also at the core of islam. Lies to oneself then all others.Beware of the seasoning of the saducees and pharisees, for they love to go in long robes, having the borders of they're garments broadened,The reciting of long prayers in the street, to be seen of men, prefering the chief seats in the synagouge and the upper rooms at feasts.who devour widows houses and turning judgement away from the poor for a bribe.

Interesting. Instead of trying to be a better muslim try to be a better Canadian!.

If mohamed was a real messenger of god why does he asked Allah to give his people in the Muslim countries a better life rather than killing each other.

The sense of becoming better in any person is driven by the conviction of being worse already.\nAs such, there must be CHOICE to select from the list of practices that can lead to being BETTER furnishing reasons and proofs. What guarantee is there that Islam as one of the items in the list makes someone better? What if itself lacks goodness and depends on sacrifices from its votaries to cover its own lapses? In that case, how does one get the sense of being better becoming Muslim or serving Islam?\nTo me, Islam (of Mohammad) is end of all workable options as it sets itself against rest of the possibilities allowing no alternative thinking and action. It leads to REAL SLAVERY mentally and physically.

I hope these idiots in this video who claim to be Muslims watch this and read these comments to know what they have achieved. Shame on them. What they are doing is just what thugs do and then they have the audacity to attach Islam's name with it. Go to Pakistan and implement it there or better yet go to Burma or Gaza and liberate the Muslims there. But you won't coz you're cowards. Here you do it coz it's probably one of the most tolerant countries in the world to all races and religions.

I am a Muslim and what these people doing is WRONG , from where they learned this??? In an Islamic country you have no right to do this : first you d'ont represent the government,secondly this way you make people have wrong ideas about your religion , not even close to an advice !!! Please stop doing these shamefull acts and learn how to be an example for those who d'ont know you. If it is very dificult for you to live there : go elsewhere may be another country where you may feel better . Islam is innocent from these ways of behaviour . Live in peace with all the world is Islam and frightening people will get you nowhere but to troubles.

My message to these people is that I don't fucking tow the line for any god. I feel so sorry for the Muslim folk that keep themselves to themselves and just get on with things. These yobs are using their 'faith' as an excuse to cause trouble. The Christian patrol groups are no better. They're simply one group of extremists aggravating another.

Justice : An eye for an eye. Real justice. you kill = you get killed = justice\nCan I assume that is why Muslims are killing each other in record numbers?\nFreedom: Freedom is not ignorance, you dismiss information you do not like, not because you have better information, but because you fairy stories say it is different - why not actually read and learn about a subject before dismissing it\nI have read the Quran - I promise you that science and modern understanding is far more credible and amazing

Muslim area this is england yeah your in for a shock when all the british people get fed up with you guys which will be soon and trust me now british people will not back down! these guys are giving Muslims a bad name Sharia law if you belive in it then your no better than hitler!\n

Who the fuck do these people think they are? I've live near whitechapel and if any of these cunts told me how I should be behaving in my own area, they'd get a smack in the mouth. Britain is NOT a Muslim country and the sooner these cunts realise that the better. If they want to practice Islamic law, then leave England and live in a Muslim country.

Endanger your lifes? What are you talking ABOUT my friend?\n\nAs a knowledgeable muslim once said. If you don't want to be stoned to death, then don't commit adultery! if you don't want to be mutated. Then Don't steal!\n\nSharia law is very effective at preventing crimes and all (1000x better than stupid British law), it will bring the UK closer together! Hope you would agree.\n\n

Yes, you're right having a Jewish as neighbour better than a muslim .Oh, by the way , don't forget to keep an eye on your kids ,you know in case they want to practice their secret ritual .Search in you tube for yourself

And then they say atheist are normal people...lool..better to be Muslim then Atheist.

Britain is a secular country. There is no official religion. London does not have areas for Muslims only. Europe better get a handle on these extremist least you get Islamic Sharia law being imposed against the rule of the land. Best thing to do with these idiots and other idiots doing this sort of thing is to ignore them. If they get heavy then call the cops. At least they will get a fair trial in Europe , unlike most other Islamic countries.Im saying this to both muslims and other religions.

My country is one of the better examples of Islamic law though still flawed due to national problems and namely international relations and the paranoia surrounding the USA for good reason (CIA Coup and 25 years of USA backed dictatorship and opression)\n\nNow about the reports, understand that western media thives on shock media, they thrive on putting things out of context and exagerating them.\nYes those things happen with Muslims as they happen with everyone else, but it's not Islamic.

Sharia law also states to be kind to others now if you wanna live by sharia you implement at home. I guess what am saying is look at yourselves before going streets and trying to tell others to do things. it maybe a muslim area its not a muslim country tho, if you really wanna do something go to the middle east and hep out there, patrol some streets there and better the country that already usues the sharia system. Oh and please dont disrespect islam with stupid posts your not hard or funny.
