I'd like to address this to the woman who went to one of Trump's rallies dressed as a Moslem with her head covered with a scarf and having a sign that reads, 'I come in peace'. I don't know why she was asked to be escorted out, but by her own words the people in the crowd were throwing questions at her as to whether she had a bomb under her cloak. Well, whether she knew it or not, she provoked the crowd by wearing the mark of a Moslem - her cloak. Also, by going to the rally dressed the way she was, she knew before hand that she'd be treated that way. On her part, I see that as provocation. Had she gone plainly dressed or attired like everybody else, there would have been no adverse reaction toward her. I don't know what she could have said why she was asked to be escorted out, but she fully knows that the whole of America had been given the real and true picture of Islam - one of terror, murder, beheading, bombs, war, and blood. How do Moslems expect the most compassionate, kind, benevolent people in the world to act? So, please, use your common sense and do not see America as the enemy, the aggressor, or the provocateurs. They're not. They are just being vigilant knowing that the enemy could be so sly, cunning and untrustworthy. Islamic people,we welcomed you to our country. Don't think that we are not watching you. We have given you a new start for a happy life compared to the life you have had in your native lands, but we are guarding against an invasion that your evil governments have designed for our beloved country. The truth of the matter is that you are our guests in our country, and you don't have he right to demand of us what you like, especially when you want us to change our laws just to accommodate or please you. The more attacks you perpetrate against Americans, the more we will be true to our resolve to deport you. Good Moslems, show your rage against the radicals amongst you. If you don't, you'll be sorry, because willy nilly, you'll be affected too. You cannot be in America and refuse to live by the laws we live by.

The issue is islam, not all muslims. Unfortunately those two often go hand in hand, making it hard to criticizes islam without people thinking you are criticizing all muslims, which isn’ the case. \n\nThe issue with the religion of islam is that it is inherently not peaceful (If you want to discuss why that is more so the case than other religions we can do that). In fact in many situations you will hear Islamic muslins part of a western country use the free speech given to them, under the laws and constitution of that society, in order to impose the suggestion of sharia law. This would mean no more free speech (and far more dire consequences) for others not of islamic belief under sharia law. Sharia law is a set of religious political laws used in the majority of middle eastern Islamic countries and cultures. It is truly a backward and barbaric set of laws, incompatible with democracy and I encourage you to investigate that claim. \n\nSo essentially decreasing islam in any scenario will also decrease the political climate it wants to live in. And not only live in, but given to text in the Koran, effectively dominate. Religious assimilation and toleration is not part of the religion. And in the small case that it is, those religious peoples are second class citizens. \n\nSo you can see how it may sound harsh to say “get rid of islam/muslims” if you are ignorant to the fact of both their possible separation and islam’s eventual political goals. \n\nNot all muslims want sharia law or are as fundamental/radical as others, but that distinction can be hard to make for many people, when a lot of them are silent. All you see are the riots and bombings across the globe by radical islamists, with little or no condemnation by the former. However once again I state, the issue is islam, not all muslims.\n\nIf you think I myself am ignorant of any of this information please attempt to convince me otherwise and I will thoroughly read your argument.

What I see is if they want to live in Islam go back to ur country were there is Islam.

Christians are not under the law of even their own Bible. That is because Jesus fulfilled the law when he died and rose again. Now to those that think Christianity and the Islam is the same you are naive. Firstly the violent verses in Christianity is speaking as part of the old testament temple law. and as I said earlier Jesus dies to fulfill the law, so we are not under the law, and any other violent verses in the Bible is in fact a description of a historical event... \nNow the Quran prescribes the violence in the newer verses. The newer verses of the Quran which supersedes the older more peaceful version. \nIn Christianity newer verses supersede the old but, the newer verses are more peaceful. unlike the Quran where the newer verses are more violent.\nAlso one must look at the founder of any religion to see what it is like. Jesus was peaceful and perfect even Mohammad agrees with that,\n\nBut Mohammad killed, raped, had sex with a prepubescent girl named (forgive me for the spelling ) Aishia. He had sex with her when she was 9 years old, Jesus was against that. \n\nThe followers in the religion are to copy the the founder of that religion. The Hadith is a collection of Mohammad's sayings. so the followers of islam are supposed to follow that too. ISIS are some of the most devout Muslims in the world and follow the Quran and the Hadith to the letter. To say ISIS does not represent islam is like saying tele-evangelists are not a part of Christianity. (And I am sure some of you might actually agree with that) but the fact is it does. The personal character of them does not always represent Christianity. Jesus was perfect Mohammad was not. Jesus is sitting at the right had of God \nMohammad was the worst of sinners. \n\nMohammad is in hell because he was killed my a female and according to Mohammad in the Hadith a man murdered by a woman is going to go to hell. That would also include Mohammad. \n\nSo who would you want to follow. The man that committed NO sin and lived a holy and perfect life and died for us and is sitting at the right hand of God, or the one that did some of the most awful sins in the world, is far from perfect completely unholy end expects his followers to die for him, and is now in hell.\n \nYour Call. \n.\nWatch how many death threats I get after this.

Islam at fear for their lives give the world a break the crazies calling their lives threaten from what freedom loving people that want nor will not bow down to Islam or your filthy religion

REFUSE ANY FURTHER IMMIGRATION!  Really want to go back 1,400 years and live like that? NO!

People that don't want to be Canadian shouldn't be trying to live in Canada. If terrorism is spreading terror, and phobia and terror are synonymous, then terrorist are responsible for Islamophobia, not true Canadians.

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.

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.

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.

Muslims are creating fear and threating not the other way around. Its perfectly normal. If Muslims want to live like in Saudi Arabia or Iran then they should go there.

whats wrong with leaders of the western world can't they put their foot down and let newcomers that they must become a nationalist, specially muslims, they are not Canadians, they are muslims, they become Canadians when they need medical care, welfare, social housing, When they travel do they have Muslim passport of Canadian passport, are they idiots or what? if muslims want to travel and live as muslims why not move to muslim countries FIRST AND FOREMOST WE ARE ALL HUMANS

Whenever muslims in a western country whines and moans about islamaphobia or victim hood i just want to slap them across the face and send them on their way to whichever muslim-majority country of choice they wanna live.

If muslims want to live in Canada the same way of life than in their home country they might as well go home...

I feel so strange for understanding both sides of this argument as equally valid points in a vacuum...\n\nBut in my opinion, if you live in a western country, then you should adapt and dress like the people who live there, if not you will always be an outcast and not integrate into society.\nIf a guy in shorts and a wifebeater wants to sell you a new fancy dancy investment idea you are most likely not going to trust him, since he does not wear a suit as expected for people in this position.

Why leave a Muslim country to live in a free Christian country and then bring the death cult virus with you.  You want to dress like a medieval sex slave then live in a medieval backward country in the middle east.  Leave the west.

you want to live like a muslim, move to arabia

I live in Ontario and just saw a 5 yr. old girl totally covered. Why come here only to continue with those traditions? I thought these immigrants wanted a different life.\nOhhh Canada. Would they stand on guard for thee?

Fuck Islam. If you want to wear the Niqab, that's fine. Just surrender your citizenship and go live in Saudi Arabia.

Western cultures invade and colonize all the countries and people they want including north america #idle no more but when anyone ties o defend themselves they blame the culture of the victim #black lives matter. europeans have issues with everyone not just muslims. the west invaded 'muslim countries' and have killed millions over the last decade who are the real terroists that are trying to enforce their laws on other populaces?

Being a Muslim woman must be very sad, in countries where Islam is the main religion they can't choose how to dress, they can't choose to have a career, they can chose who to marry, they can't choose their religion, and Islam also endorse husband to beat his wife if necessary. To the women who wear the niqab: do you really think that God is so stupid to judge you by what you wear??? God looks at your heart.\nThen, we can discuss about how much the US destabilised the middle east, but in general Islam doesn't fit well in a globalised world and created no social and economic development in the last 100 years. There are small exceptions (Qatar, UAE) who found oil under their ass, but in general a society who wants to live and do things like 1.600 years ago can only bring inequality and no progress whatsoever.

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.

Everywhere where they are so. Look in Europe\nThey're all going to live for free ... (2% of them are really only want to work). And the entire population of Europe is already tired ,especially in small towns. Living on the live on Hala,unemployment benefit - all Arabic script.. Dictate their conditions. Why is my child required to study Islam! If he is Catholic?\nGet the back all in the desert... And there with towels on their heads walking

We are to blame for what is happening now. Way back in 1992 We started letting them in in droves ....there was never this problem in the post World War 2 era Europeans didn't want to use the system to their advantage and reshape it to their ideology ....its to late the cancer on the way we lived has metastasized

Islam is problem in every Non-muslim country..!! They want everyone to adopt Islam & turn that secular country to Islamic nation .Each muslim has 5 to 6 kids ,so as to increase muslim population rapidly .And their killing nature ,creates a fear among non-muslims ...Christians ,Hindus ,Buddhists ,Jews ,Sikhs live together in world with peace & harmony ..! But not Islam ..!! A day will come when all secular countries affected by Islamic terror will come together to eradicate this Virus ..!!

I think you should need to conformation,we don't want to live between people who wear mask on the streets,otherwise you are a guest in that countries,peopel want to see your faces want to see how are you,not like a Ninja you know! The reason is simple,day by day we see what is going on in your countries also see how Fanatics you are ! You have a better life there than in your countries before am I right,this is was your choice am I right so,you need to conform,there is no question about it !!! We don't want to see the same (terror) world here,what you leave behind you !!!

I am an ex-muslim and I live in Turkey. Here is not Middle East but some people want to turn here to Middle East. They want sharia and they are not weak. I wanna get the fuck out of here and live in place with respectful people like Canada.

According to the Sharia law:\n\n•  Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.\n•  Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.\n•  A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.\n•  A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.\n•  A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.\n•  A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.\n•  Girls' clitoris should be cut (per Muhammad's words in Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).\n•  A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.\n•  A man can beat his wife for insubordination.\n•  Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.\n•  A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).\n•  The list goes on.\n\nI would not want to live under such law, and it is happening in Canada now. Tell me it is reasonable, and you want to obey it. But hey, if you want to be slave, it is not my business, but please keep it in your home.

Muslims always scream intolerance, when they are the least tolerant people in the world. They hate Western values but they want to live here??

Jesus Christ they should all go home...they want to be Muslims? then go live in middle east...peaceful Christians don't want you on Christian lands

What about the terrorism that Christians are involved in?  The sexual abuse of children that still goes on today.  People have to remember not only were Pope John Paul and Pope Benedict were aware of the sexual abuse the perverted priests and bishops engage in,  but Pope Benedict went out of his way to move and protect the pedophile priests.  The Catholic church has spent millions on lawyers to prevent having to pay out the victims of sexual abuse.  The catholic church also has in its possessions stolen art works and valuables stolen by the Nazis during the war.  They have not handed them back to their rightful owners.  And to add insult to injury the Catholic church enjoys tax exemption status and protection in Canada while the victims of the church do not have access to services to help them rebuild their lives due to the effects they still suffer as a result of this abuse.  \n\nAn example of the further victimization sexual abuse victims of the Catholic cult have been exposed to is the practice of Crimen sollicitationis  Crimen sollicitationis states that if a person speaks out about their sexual abuse experiences within this cult they can be ex-communicated from the church.  \n\nAs a white man who is an ex catholic and who also had sexual abuse from this church it is my belief that many young children who were sexually and spiritually abused by the Catholic cult did not come forward because of shame and did not want to have to be exposed to this kind of re victimization by the Catholic cult again. \n\nI believe it is because a lot of Muslim people are people of colour that they are persecuted in Canada.  The real terrorist in Canada is not only the Catholic church but a spokesman for them the Crime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada.  The are terrorists who rig elections, and their party is rife with criminal and illegal activity and are a threat to democracy.  That is why everyone should be protesting their anti terrorist bill they are ramming down the throats of Canadians Bill C-51  \n\nIf you have nothing intelligent to say and believe being a conservative makes you exempt from the laws of Canada, and you are set in dismantling democracy, the Conservative Party of Canada wants you.

If they want to come to our country they live by our law an our way of life if they want to live there way an impose there law why not fuck off back to the shit hole they came from

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

People who say it's the white males in power trying to oppress the Muslims with their culture need to wake up, If these people want to live in a society that abides by Sharia law they should have stayed in their own country or assimilated to the dominant culture in the country they immigrated to. But you have all of these people coming here because they've ruined their own countries with the same beliefs and values that they are trying to impose in the counties they immigrate to. It makes me sick. 

The way I see it, if Muslims want a Muslim country, then they should go and live in one.

No one wants to live next to a religious nut that yells at you to not drink and how their god they cant prove is great.

This is the oldest part of East London, if they want to go out and harass people then let them, if people take offence and kick the living shit out of them then let them. It's a free country. :)

England, France, Belgium, Holland wake up!\nYou don't see what will happen in your live time in your country in next 20 years? \nWhy you allow muslim to come to your country and say in your face they don't care about you and they want a muslim state! \nThey laugh at your soft law!\nCameron want to stop migrations From Eastern EU Countries.... Because of what? \nPeople from Eastern Europe, they just want to work and they don't want to change nothing in your country because they accept you! Not like f... muslims! 

It's not a Muslim area it's England where everyone can live the way they want.

If they don't like the way people in the Western world live then why are they here? Bugger off to some middle East country if you want Sharia law..

Not all muslims are the same, same like we think of all other people.\nThey have treated us bad but it doesn't mean we muslims do the same.\n\nWesteners invaded our land, destroyed our homes, stole all resources but yet we still want to live beside westeners with peace and love. We think people are not the problem but goverments are.\n\nThese people are misguided by Anjem Choudary. \n

If they want sharia law, why not move back to their own countries where it's already imposed? This is disgusting, they want to change every place they go to and adapt it by their own beliefs, but if you go to a muslim country you have to cover up and live by their own rules of course. I have to say, i was in East Ham the other day with my bf, kissing on the street and this muslim guy giving us ugly stares. I just looked straight in his face and smiled. -----

This is how muslims started in Egypt, Syria, libanon...Look at these shitholes now...\n\nHow long does it takes that we Europeans stand up to this terrible invasion.\n\nI am having nightmares and worry about my kids. They will have kids too. I dont want my grandchildren wear towels, burka etc. and live under shariah law. \n\n \n\n

If you want to live under Sharia Law there are plenty of countries that already practice it. Don't try and impose S,L on the free world. Go live in Saudi, Pakistan, Iran where it exists in all its misogynistic glory. However, I would remind you it's forbidden for a man to speak to a woman who is not a member of their family. So you are breaking your own laws by doing what you are doing justify that if you can. I have no truck with folk following a religeon, just folk foisting it on me

There is no such thing as a Muslim area in England. Go live in a Muslim country if you want Sharia so much.

I live less than a mile away from the main mosque in my city (US) and I'd love to see this. We'd be on the streets too flying the American flag reminding them where they are and their patrols would end very quickly. Muslims here aren't so eager to be aggressive like they are in Britain. We aren't exactly pacifists and more than willing to fight if they want to impose their filthy Sharia Law.\nThomas

I live in London but I'm not Brit and I truly love this Country,but there's no way a bunch of muslim can tell me not to have a beer while waiting for the bus.Should I visit some islamic town I'd never say a man hey don't wear those clothes or cut that beard.If you were not born in here but you want to live here well then respect the society who's hosting you and get a life.Muslims,get a life for god's sake and stop with the sharia bullshit.

They need to get the hell out of our country. This is not an Islamic country, if they want to live by Sharia law then let them go and live in a country that does support it. We have English law and it's good enough for English people

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.

England is a free country, if someone wants to walk down the street in a short skirt,drinking a beer,while taking it up the arse. you can give them a dissaproving look if you like,but right or wrong thats all the law allows you to do about it....thats the world we live in.
