we're worried because we see what's going on in the world.........and yes they are in the mosques .....some are .......

Anti-Islam sentiment, a growing concern? Hello, that's putting it far too mildly. They are violent freaks. Putting their women in tents is gross. You have an intro like that w/ terrorism abroad and in Canada and you wonder why we hate them? Gee, that's not difficult. They tried to pass sharia law in Ontario. Yes, we hate them and we do NOT want anymore of them or their intolerant, racist bullshit, because that's what they bring.

I feel we don't let the KKK run around with their head coverings why should you be allowed to. both such axe promotes a certain kind of violence. you promote your type of religion which is disgusting and repulsive and just a reason to abused life. so wearing stuff like that means you're supporting your religion which has issues or you actually really do have issues because there is no reason to have to want to wear something like that unless there's something wrong with you you have something to hide. and yes it may be something you want to do but the rest of the world sees it as repulsive so if you keep doing something that just isn't necessary in life and just for your wants and the world doesn't want you doing it you should stop. for that just means you have mental issues. we don't promote ski mask or any type of head gear in a bank because we don't know who's under their.

I know racism exist being Mexican living in Mexico, I have experienced that. Although the shopping and looking for apartment experiment is great, has anyone stop and think yes it is about race or color of the skin but also a interesting point is your clothing and overall appearance instead of the skin sometimes, when shopping if I see someone entirely dressed in black with hat and some sunglasses isn't that suspicious (of course is discriminating but I have to use that example in order to make my point) instead of actual color of the skin? I think that's another aspect to further study, how you dress and the image you project is a factor for discrimination itself, instead purely based on the race.

ha ha She says: They are mentioning mulisms as jihadists. If you are a muslim you can't say no to jihad command (fatva). jihad is the base of islamic idealogy. What are you talking about? jut go to islamic countries. where you can kill the poor non muslim people. let the rest of the world live their lives. please. don't spread dirt all around the world. they say why islam phobia?? all the men fear the bomb. and muslims bomb every where. so yes. we have bomb phobia, we are afraid of the bombs

Meditate on this: We have Islamic extremism problems in places where Muslims make up a minority. Yes, those extremists make up a minority within the Muslim community. However, that is a relatively big minority.

yes thank u the healthcare situation here is absolutely messed up i dont get it. \nhey have u gone to the grand canyon yet? :D

Yes, the niqab does define you. It is a physical, in your face statement that you are an adherent of Sharia Law. As many are saying, if you want to live in an Islamic State, under Sharia Law, you should go to a country that can offer you that. Sharia Law has no place in a democracy. Sharia Law and its practitioners do not belong in democracy.

yes, i agree\nWe should all become bhuddists.

yes its unfortunate our health care system is awful : (

I am Glad You Brought this to light, We Need to do Better,...... ( Yes we need to be more understanding, of others) How Ever.... We are an Open Face Society.... ( \nRe: The girl who covered her face.)

Born in Winnipeg but have been in the states since I was 5. And yes the health care here in the US is out of control.

The health care system here is SO fucked up! My mom had to pay a $500 fine for not getting obamacare by a certain date because she couldn't afford it at the time. Fucking logic to fine people for not having money for healthcare. Also I am honestly terrified of the driving age here. Yes there are responsible teens but holy cow most should NOT be driving!!! I hate bad drivers.

Question for Christians does Mary the mother of jesus was wearing hijab which is covering her self? Yes and everyone agree with that so why you hating the people who wear same as Mary if you're really love her. Muslim woman is does same as Mary no one else does.We love Mary and we love her son the the prophet jesus peace be upon him more then anyone. And ISIS has nothing with Islam stop hating. And anyone who thinks all Muslims are terrorist I'm 99.99 sure he is dopey.

1 im canadien, 2: there was a girl in my class she was Islamic, she stated Islam is a religion of peace, knowing what i know today i would have argue with her, quoran sourah 8:12; beheaded infidels. yes this verce is clear and clearly written cut the neck of infidels, moderate islamit dont exit. has the bible they are time bomb to radicalism, the second you start to read the book. IS have read the quoran and they are Appling word for word the quoran because they read it. Christian did too it was called inquisition.

William d I think you should shut up. You must be tired from jumping to many conclusions. If one Muslim makes a mistake it doesn't mean all Muslims are bad people. You are a sick person and any one that agrees with you are sick sick people that don't deserve what the have. Now go away and shut your stupid racist mouth. And yes I'm hating on you.

Old Testament or New Testament ? .New Testament or Old Testament? God is one or three ? No he is One but Three , like Pert Plus , or like One Egg but the Egg has yuk , white and the cover. so is this explain trinity , yes I know it's like Eggs . because I like Eggs LOL , Idiots

Gee, I wonder where the dislikes came from? OH, RIGHT, YES. Seriously, fuck Islam.

Muslims need to understand that we don't like them it's simple really yes the liberal media and some left wing people think otherwise but the vast vast majority would rather they all just leave it's not racists it's just we want to enjoy life they seem to want to make everything about religion just go away

I think Najabs are a great a fret a problem all over the world. It should not be a choice, seperates them from all things, Why be aftriad to stand up without the Najab at all I sit with one women on the bus! But I feel sorry for her and a beautiful face behind it! I kept quiet, but I still hate them wearing it? It is a violation, not spiritual they were mistreated and forced. Yes you have a choice I wouldn't hurt you but when I look at you is sorry and shame.. That is what I think be free with the Hijab at least I can be close and get to know you? With Najabs no

yes, Why don't men need to cover your face??

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.

Islam claims to be religion of peace. Yes, they remain peaceful upon coming to west till the time they have enough numbers. That is when the real fun begins. Ghettos, burquaas, niquabs, demands for prayer times and prayer rooms, halal meat, forced or coerced conversions and mosques etc etc. \nKoran in Islam also claims tp be the final revelation and word of god. But cannot be questioned or criticized. So, that is where freedom of speech and critical thinking, hallmarks of human civilization but not prescribed in islam, faces threat. To confirm this all you have to do is study the 52 or so islamic countries around the world.\nRead more

Yes anti-Islam attitudes are growing.....that's a good thing.

Ask a Muslim : Islam is misunderstood and mistreated in this world right now?\nMuslims : yes yes and yes\nAsk a Muslim : Then lets put them all under Sharia laws\nMuslims : Allah Akbah Lalalaalalallaa

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.

lord sani, Have u read Quran? if yes then show me a single verse which is violent? nd if no then first read then come to me..

Yes, can't abide by our rules? GTFO. Everyone GTFO. Especially the ones that killed tens of millions of us.\nSincerely,\nFirst Nations.

As a society we are trying really hard to deconstruct the dogmas that have kept us caged over the centuries. So it is sad to see people falling in love with an ancient dogma all over again. Yes, Canada protects people's freedom of religion, but unfortunately the more religious you are, the less democratic and progressive you also tend to be.

YES UK! 

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.

Yes thats true, but I await the rest of your comment!

AH wepons and all your pals I take it. Learn to spell and get a shave. And you think you have the country in your own little mind, try some bacon sandwiches it will let you see the light , oh yes theres no god either

Yes.

Evolution of animals are present yes, but animal evolving into human is not true and has been proven by many scientist as well. The word it self that YOU are playing around is ''embedded''. Here is another verse similar to this one :Have We not made the earth as a bed and the mountains its pegs? (Qur'an, 78:6-7) \n\nIf your referring to pegs in a way that they join the tectonics plates, then yes it very much is correct. The mountains join the tectonic plates. This information is everywhere.

yes well depicting the prophet is forbidden in islam so its something its very important to us. Kill jewish children? sums you up. no guessing what side of the palestine debate you are on. because its not like the jews have ever killed any muslims, or taken away their land. and yes you are clearly generalizing, by saying Islam blah blah blah when its actually a insignificant minority of muslims with their own POLITICAL ideologies. No point arguing with someone who clearly has it in for Islam.

not all muslims are from the middle east, anyone can be muslim. islam is not a violent blood thirsty religion, that is a fact. some 'muslims' are violent and blood thirsty however and yes they are very welcome to get lost! however, many muslims are English or British and kind, generous and hard working people. please try not to generalise, I'm sure you wouldn't agree that all English people are racist ignorant drunkards now would you?

yes give them a chance thay will be beter in uk

the media works so hard to make people afraid of Muslims and make them submissive to sharia law. It is all a part of the planned destruction of our culture by the 'criminally cowardice' leaders who see all hope only in cultures where violence and sexual perversity are the mainstay. Yes I am talking abut Muslim communities where sexual perversity and social and political corruption are not only allowed but also admired.

yes and they scared because you in the us can protect yourself. we in uk\ncannot I sometimes wish I lived in America.respect usa

well and learning both tolerance and grammar and yes im a boy but and being so much realistic than you believe me

I was actually mocking the very poorly worded comment above that was suggesting the the UK will soon be Muslim. Maybe that didn't come across or you find sarcasm difficult to grasp. As for me being an ignorant moron, well we can't all reach the lofty intellectual heights of hoping some of my relatives get hurt as you did. Moving on, yes I do know what Shiria law is, and no I'm not okay with that shit. But I don't think the we will be abandoning our current legal system any time soon.

yes but we don't want to kill people just because they wont convert to islam

yes british resolve fuck the bastards off\n

Yes we need to tell them that they are doing wrong.\n\nlooooooooool, then why im i allways judged for my beard as a terrorist? but i know ppl who are swedish and have beard then they are ok.\n\njust so you know that ALL ppl judge. no one is perfect.\n\nIslam says to us to not judge anyone even if we see things like we want dosent mean that its like that.

It is a serious problem, it has nothing to do with what you say. But yes Islamic streetss, i.e. streets where there is a mosque on it, just in Muslim areas. The solution is to enforce sharia law, we will see crime rates FALL. And we will no longer be a disrespectful nation!!!!\n\nPeace

Islam is the only truth, so yes believers deserve more of a say on the law. There are many prostitutes + women who dress immodestly in my area too, my family, I and all my friends dislike it. I believe the best system is sharia law, if you cared about speech then surely you should not complain that Im speaking my mind?\n\nSharia law as I say would cure Britain from it's filthy crime rates & other problems.

yes I am. I strongly believe in this matter. Sharia law is what the world needs. I will fight for it.

Yes Jesus said that and having said that he says that people obey only the law and do not believe in God, so they are hypocrites and he says that because people give more importance to tradition and law than God....so they are being told this inthe verse....Jesus is God and no where in the Bible he has sinned, in the quran also it says Jesus is faultless where as mohd. quran says asked forgiveness for his past present and future sins..see the quran in which also Jesus is glorified more than mohd

YES HALAL IS THERE IN QURAN AND FOR THE CHRISTIANS IT WAS THERE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT NOW CHRISTIANS ARE SAVED BECAUSE OF THE MESSIAH BEING THE ONE SACRIFICED ONCE AND FOR ALL FOR US, WHERE AS YOU DENY THE MESSIAH AND SO CONTINUE TO HALLAL AND HALLAL AND HALLAL...AND WILL CONTINUE FOR EVER COZ YOU DENY THE MESSIAH THIS IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND US......WE HAVE THE SAVIOUR AND HAVE THE NEW TESTAMENT, BUT YOU STAY ON TO THE OLD TESTAMENT AS YOU DENY YOUR SALVATION.
