Sad thing is, if you are Muslim and you criticize anything about Muslim people or the way they do things you practically get killed . So there is this fear that drive everyone nuts . I think finally US, Canada , Australia and maybe some part of EU will eventually tell Muslims to leave especially the ones who wear that thing on their face

I live in Northern Ontario, and I have never actually been to thr USA, but I know someone who moved to Milwaukee and moved back to Canada because he couldn't handle certain mentalities people had. He said it definitely wasn't everyone, but the whole gun thing freaked him out. He knew a lot of people who carried guns around regularily, and so he always felt he needed to censor himself so he didn't want to offend or make anyone angry, because of thr guns. His brother lives in California and he loves it there, but Milwaukee wasn't for him. It was an interesting conversation

so if any other faiths women wear a ski mask people suspect them of being up to no good a Muslim women wears it she expects everyone to be fine with it.\nsorry western society members like to see who they are dealing with and before someone jumps up and try to say western society was bad to women back then.\nyes we don't have the best track record but we grew up and became more civil

Wanna know one religion thats not said killing people or each other for that religion christians.. And everyone single religion started with the Bible its just people tweaked other versions or left parts out.. Wanna talk with a wise mouth ... Then do your research...

Guys I'm a Friendly Christian British Citizen and I would like to know why is everyone from US or Canada against Muslims?? Please answer this question, Thank you

How would it be if there was a rash of ultra violence from some Christian groups around the world? Would priests and nuns walk around flaunting their garb to people? Or what if sects of Amish formed hit groups and started forcing their ways through violence? Would all Amish be able to wear their garb so easily? No way!\nMuslims need to understand that the radicals in their religions have caused fears throughout the Western world and the time has come where they must give up some things. The burqa and full coverage stuff is scaring the shit out of people. If they don't volunteer to be understanding of this, the laws are gonna change and then they will have to conform. The price of freedom I'm afraid. Quit being so fundamental and strict about stuff. Let time heal the wounds first, or suffer the way everyone else did for hundreds of years.

Christians sucks Arabs money in middle East , easy to say kill them or kick them out but I know many of them already converted to Islam and became good human. Our message to everyone, we want everyone to share with us the world and paradise InshaAllah , life is too short , and whatever you do in your life , you will be accountable about it after life , Jesus will not save you from anything, prophet Muhammed will not save you , only yourself and your believe, Allah is the only one , no son , no wife , no companion, the you Allah for being a Muslim and I guide those who doesn't believe

Problem not in Islam or in Christianity, problem not because you are Muslim or Christian, problem because of your ego and your blind mind and the evil inside you that pushing you to hate others , leave everyone to his faith and try to be example and a model inspiring people to love each other, what is the use when you tell me Quran said or bible said and you are a hater and spreading hate and violence among humanity, I am proud to be Muslim and I am more proud when I have Christian neighbour asking me for help and I help them every year to put their Xmas light in their house and share them their joy and happiness, I actually bought some lights and gave it to them as a gift , I invite them to my house and they do the same , problem not in religion, the problem is you haters , even if all the humanity become one religion, do you think all our problems solved?! No absolutely no , it's the nature of human been, fix yourself first before you try to fix others

why nobody talk about bikini is anti women dress? Why everyone have problem with Muslim women who cover her full body? Why no one have problem with naked women?

I find it funny, how everyone is hating on islam and calling it evil. yet all I see on youtube vids and on the media are millions of people hating and harassing Muslims world wide......

We all know that Muslims consider the Quran to be true an they try their best to follow it so I ask did anyone read Dre Quran an all the peace loving things is tells Muslims to do or is everyone somehow missing that part ?

I find that with each generation, the issue with racism becomes slightly less and less, which is great considering slavery was abolished only for about 100 years. I find that living in Canada as a black millenial is much better then say living in the 70s. I never faced racism the entire time i grew up here. but then again I haven't been everywhere in Canada. I think the most you'll experience here right now is indirect racism in the small towns. but you just have to show them who you really are and most will be OK. I don't think a lot of the people still have the mindset left in the 1900s. especially not in the major cities where its so diverse. but there's racism everywhere no matter what you look like. I hope everyone can look past appearance and stereotypes some day.

everyone talking all this shit wouldnt do it in toronto lol they only do it on computers because in real life shit gets real and a bunch of muslims, christians and others will kick ur face in. All religions are to be respected and normal people dont judge other on religion, they judge them on their personality and so on.

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.

Maybe, they should consider leaving Canada ?.......... problem solved and everyone is happy : ) ........especially Canadians !

OK so whatever with them and their need to wear cloth and hold no identity of their own, and their stupid religion. I don't care really I guess about what they wanna do. That's them. It's fine. The part that bugs me is that I know their crap is going to be enforced upon the rest of us as if they have any right at all to tell me what to do. I WILL NOT be included in this belief system. And honestly, it's the fear of losing our freedom to choose that's causing so much anger in everyone else. These people have absolutely no right WHATSOEVER to have any sort of opinion on anyone's life, or how I should freaking dress in the morning. But they think they do. And I fear that that's something we're going to have to fight them for one day.

Holloween is coming so all these Muslim women can go trick or treating and scare the hell out of everyone with their ghost outfits!

When the numbers aren't strong they play the victim. When their numbers are strong it's convert, pay a tax, or die. It's all in about a 3 hour read known as the Qu'ran. Everyone owes it to themselves to check it out.

Everyone on here talking shit about Islam, I have something to say, have you ever owned a copy of the holy Quran and read it word by word CORRECTLY? If No, then get yourself one and then, come comment shit! Thank you and I have a wonderful day?

To people who say That Canada is their country\nCanadian themselves are immigrants and they were immigrants once. Attacking natives and taking over their land is something that all Canadians should remember. Original Canadians are Natives.\n\nIf Canada hates Islam so much, why they allow Muslims to enter their country in the first place.\nif you allow religious people to live here, you should bear their religious and cultural practices as well. \n\nYou idiots don't know anything About Islam.just for few groups who were created by the west to ruin Islam's reputation, and for destruction of Muslim countries, You open your dirty mouth and throw out bad words at Islam with what ever dirt you taste. So educate yourselves and have respect for all religions regardless of race and language and get respect back. Canada is for everyone.

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.

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.

Deport everyone of them out now

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

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.

oh my alla .....................they have it so fu(king bad in canada , go back to the stoneage middle east. please . but I know you wont so have a nice hot cup of shut the fu(k up.......................love how everyone else are rasists

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.

  Being white in Canada is to be constantly pointed at by black people and called racist . When the only people screaming racist is the blacks . Every other ethnic group of people get along.with one another in Canada .  I think the black community needs to stop calling everyone else racist , and deal with there own racist thoughts .Stop accusing  all other group's of people of being racist . There is only one group of racist people in Canada and they are black .

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.

England why you are not doing somethink? In Poland everyone muslim didint have a life. England have a power, deport them all

There should only be sharia law in a totally Muslim country. I do not expect to have an English sentence passed on me or be judged by English laws in Dubai so no Muslim should expect their sharia law to be impossed in the UK. There will come a point when the English People of all faiths and religions will say enough is enough and at that point things will probably come to a head and there will be mass riots against Islam. This is not ideal but I doubt anything will be done unless people take to the streets. I personally believe that everyone has a rite to choose their own path but nobody has the rite to impose their beliefs on others. Sharia courts of ANY DESCRIPTION should be BANNED in the UK!

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

So much for I don't judge you, so don't judge me crap...forcing there opinions on everyone, I hope the Muslim community clamp down on these fools, i don't see it happening...but fingers crossed hey.

...what there doing is wrong under the laws there imposing. And everyone here is overreacting.

it is so outrageous it is London not Saudi Arabia ! What the fuck is wrong with them ! why can't they mind their own business there is a time I used to be a Muslim will not any more they have got some issues ! they are blinded and retarded and so Minded , This kinda petrol is wrong what makes me really angry that they are targeting gays and everyone who doesn't look like them \n\nWell Fuck all of them !

Alcohol is causing problems? What about the Muslims that are harassing everyone and beheading people in the streets? Fuck off.

I just don't understand why they think they are special, and they don't need to follow the law that everyone else follows...\n

As a moderate Brit, I fail to see how anyone with any brain cells can condemn a whole race of people like this. You are idiots to tar everyone with the same brush, and this is exactly how propaganda creates wars against innocent ordinary people,which, none of you are. You are a den of snakes.

choosing a side will just create more divide, both are as bad as each other trying to have the hierachy over one another...when will people see this and start working together for a better future !!!! i am sick of everyone trying to be better than other people

satan does not get the blame the wrongdoer must be punished fro his or her own crimes. \nwhen everyone is in hell. thw deweelers of hell will go to satan and tell him it his fault that they are in hell with him. satan will reply i only whispered to you. \nthe dwellers of hell will see their blame and shall be miserable.

i'm muslim and they dont have any right to kick them away because it's a muslim area we should all live together united everyone forgive them about this bad behave they put us in such a bad position when some none educational like them acting so selfish like that and i'm muslim and proud and i agreed about hat they did\n

the golden age is technically a reference of the abbassid empire the third islamic caliphate.\nit ended when the army of gehnghis khan defeated the city and killed everyone\nhow do i know i learnt history

this is just scary...everyone has a right to walk whereever they want

The only reason other religions aren't stuck in the Stone Ages anymore is because they can't possibly reconcile their Stone Age beliefs so they change and reduce their mythologies. If everyone actually believed in and followed their religions truly, they would all be fundamentalists and that's part of why they need to GO.

At 100% Muslim would be Dar-El-Salam. Here it is supposed to be peace because everyone is muslim.It is sharia & Quran is only word. Unfortunately peace never achieved. Most radical muslim intimidate and and spread hatred against moderate and satisfy their blood lust by killing them. e.g. Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Yemen.

I dont agree with them walking around saying this is a Muslim area, everyone is welcome. Also I dont agree with them targetting people not making trouble, if their drinking, wearing a mini skirt or smoking weed, as long as their not harrasing or causing a nuisace, whats it got 2 do with any1? This IS NOT a Muslim country, its actually secular, but with Judeo Christian roots. This kind of coverage of muslim areas is the last thing we need. I know theres only about 10 of them in that group.

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.

I would like to say to everyone that these groups do NOT represent Islam at all. These people act according to their desires and should be locked up in prison if they do not change their behaviour. In a Muslim country they would be jailed. \n\nI am a Muslim and I am aginst alchohol and other things which Islam forbids but the way these people are going about in society is not the Islamic way in dealing with such things. \n \nIslam against these extremists visit islamagainstextremism. com

islam is the best religion everyone should follow it if you want to be saved from the hell fire

Few bad apples, make everyone look bad.
