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.

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.

i am a pakistani christian i know when i was in the UK the govt cracked down on one innocient pak christian famly who were living in nelson, north west england. they deported them despite knowing that they had well founded fear in pakistan, they were escorted by two police officers who travelled with them to dubai. so the uk govt is very good in removing persecuted pakistani christians but affraid of muslims.

You didn't understand what I said there is no such a thing as secular in any other religion, as far as I am concerned secular means not following. I am following my religion thank God, and living peacefully with everyone around me no matter what religion they are, color, race, or even if they have no religion. Not welcome in the UK? I am sorry but it isn't up to you, I never harmed or bulied anyone around why would I not be welcome. Thanks anyways.
