it's not the religion.... it's the mac's convenience and the corner stores selling tropicana juice for 6 bucks a liter. It's the family oriented hiring policies and the rural area stores being bought and not offering fishing bait, ice or firewood but instead offering dollar store fishing lures for 20 bucks. it's the electronic stores that sell tape decks and old CD players. The stuff that really makes a bad impression is when a muslim family buys a Pizza Pizza or a subway and then changes the restaurant so that there is no where to be seated and the food is processed by someone who won't look me in the eye once and speaks a language that I can't understand to an employer about my sandwich and i will never know what the problem was. I feel like my spanish and native friends treat me the same as them. I feel like the scottish guy who hates me for not waking up at 5 in the morning is only mad because i'm not working as hard as him. I'm saying that maybe a lot of muslims don't want to be our friends and maybe some do... but it seems like they don't want to be my friend but will message a pretty white girl on every single facebook post with paragraphs of physical praise. i probably get a lot of facts wrong... but that world may be too far away for us to acclimate into each others societies. I'd like it though if we could all live in such a manner where we could feel like we aren't all gunning for a chunk of the world.

i don't understand how a piece of cloth makes u better person, human or religion follower thats so silly like really , better Muslim? it's joke this religion n other to many are jokes those ppl are brain-wash since they born I feel bad for those women that they don't have the freedom to do what they really wanna do. thx I god I was born with freedom of chose my husband, to change my hair color, to go whatever I want, to go any school i want , even to chance my the religion I grew up with , to have voice n vote n not b governed by any man on earth.. What a people is that

Racism is so bad that people from all over the world want to move here!

I'd just read many of the comments on here and wtf are you people smokin'? Whatever it is, you got some bad stash. Time to face reality. We are all human. We all have religions or spirituality. We may be different, but we are still intrinsically cut from the same block. So cut the paranoid crapola. Live together in peace as God instructed ALL of you to do. Don't buy into Government propagated paranoia over any one set of people. Here in America, it was anti native American, then anti black, then Anti Irish, now that those two groups are accepted it's anti-muslim. Meanwhile the native Americans are still Native Americans, the black people are still black and the Irish are still Irish and nothing has changed but public attitude. Don't let the media tell you what to think. Don't be afraid of what you don't understand. Educate yourself on what is real. What is Islam. Who are Arabs. And for God's sake stop being SHEEPLE!

I don't hate muslims, but I don't understand moving to the west and having a Hijab and beard and praying 20,000 times a day, this is not what the west is about. The middle East is reserved for that kind of lifestyle, may be its good maybe its bad, but there is a time and place for everything, the West in not for that. If Westerners in the same numbers as Muslims; moved to the middle East and started to set up shop there Western style it would be inappropriate for us to do so and not the right thing, and Muslims would definitely not have any of that.

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.

GOOD, Muslims should live in fear, We have to live in fear because of Muslims. \n\nThey wear the mask for our own good, To cover those smashed mugs. \n\nAny Muslim who lives in the West yet sympathizes with ISIS need to be exposed and stoned to death. These are people who have no reason to waste our resources on their pathetic useless lives. If they hate us so bad why do they come here? (west) Is it because being Christian nations blessed us with the ability to create all that we have? While they worship a pedophile who lived by the sword? My only question is why do you live here when you know your not welcomed?

Blacks arent the problem in canada as much as it is in the US. There was no KKK here. The people that do deserve the knowledge is the Aboriginals. The government treated them bad and so did the churches. They are what the Canadian government should be addressing and not so much the blacks as they are just as equal as a white man in Canada now. Jobs for the government 1 year have to hire more minorities then another year females and what not. I cant speak for what it is like in the US but where I live blacks are treated the same as whites. There are some arabs that think they are the gangsters and hate white peopl for ni reason. I asked them why they hates whites so much and they said its because they are pussys. That aint no damn reason. If you disagree please enlighten me with your knowledge. And if you live in the US dont comment saying you know more because i doubt you were even taught a single thing about canada in school. But if you do know something please teach me.

Those women are lying, They cannot tell the truth because the will be shunned by their families. I know a lot of muslims and they all say the same thing, The Hijab is worn because they believe that the Quran teaches women are not equal and that they must wear the head covering so they do not Tempt men.\n\n It's basically a way of men having control over women. All religions are bad, but Islam goes above and beyond bad.\n\nDon't be fooled my fellow Canadians Most muslims want Sharia Law and would pass the law if they could without hesistation, knowing most of us would have to pay the jtsia tax or be executed.

This was so disappointing to see. I was considering moving to Canada because in the USA racism and racial profiling is so bad in the south. I am so sad to see that blacks aren't really equal anywhere.

In america there is a new law allowing the government not only the right to detain indefinitely american's, but the right to kill them to. So if this is a law that has been thru congress in a ''peaceful'' country, then why is this of any shock to you? stop lessening to the media! I'm a muslim and I will never hurt anyone. There are bad apples around every tree.

that was nice of you. sry for what happend in London but you are saying that one christian kills many all are bad? there is no mordern islam its just ppl who is trying to change it.\n\njust like the bibel its about good thing and ppl killed so many muslims in the crusade and in gods name? when did god tell ppl to kill? do ppl understand the religon? ppl are stupied and brain washed. We need to folow the real religon and read and judge the religon by what it says and not what ppl do.

I totally agree it was wrong to go to Afganistan and Iraq and it was disgusting to see the atrocities committed on innocent people by the soldiers out there and I know that not all muslims are bad, I don't hate muslims simply because they are muslims, I don't want anyone to die either, I wish there could be peace, but it's something in Islam that has to evolve to stop so many using their religion as an excuse to go out and kill because clearly there is a problem there

Well, the UK is their land because most Muslims are born there. We respect you really well. It is just that you never respect us and our religion. These Muslims are showing they care about you and your (health). \n\nBeer and alcohol and drugs are very bad for your health. Don't you even realize what drunk people can do? These drinks are bad for your health and gives you a bad name. You can't feel what you do if you drink, so you could kill someone or yourself.\n\n

And Geert Wilders is considered a racist in the UK... This is exactly his warning! He has nothing against the people and its religion, he is against the Islamic influence in our society and huge dominance that doesnt fit in the European culture or society. It doesnt fit in. If you want that Sharia so bad.. why not living somewhere else where it is tolerated?

This is just a propogenda...majority of muslims donto believe this way..and even the presentor admitted that...so what is point of this showing in media when it is not news even...just to spread haterd and allow people to think bad that oh all muslims may be like this..!!!
