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.

You do realize Islam is extremely diverse ,there are so many schools of thoughts and sects . Most of them are peaceful people and all the attention is on a very small amount that are extreme in ideology. Generalizing Muslims into one group is laughable as for Niqab I dont believe it is Islamic , my school of thought doesnt even believe Hijab or headcover is obligatory but that doesnt mean they should be stripped of citizenship and deserve to die ...I think thats extreme too. I think if people in the west can walk outside in a thong and bra or completely naked at gay festivals then whats the problem with wearing too much clothes...honestly I think as human beings you should be free to wear whatever you want.\n.

What a steaming pile of bs. In Saudi Arabia 4 people a week are beheaded women are only 1/4 a person as a male, and on and on I am coming to the conclusion that Islam and freedom and democracy are mutually exclusive.  Canada was a free country before all this gender blending neo-Marxist culture war and we need to get back on track.  And by the way when it comes to analyzing the macro socio-economic situation I am intellectually a Marxist but I'm all about freedom and democracy being the first and most important first step.  These would be cultural relativists vanguard of the proletariat gender blending 3rd wavers need to go back to their offices and once again lose themselves in their navel gazing and pay heed to Plato's injunction in the Republic to leave the masses in the microcosm alone.

the fact is that they are not in the middle east no more different cultures and ways of life in the west if you cant stand it then why go? and that moderate Muslim woman said it herself she fears for her life for just talking against just the extreme stuff in Islam and how some of them hate the west and a re becoming more extreme  \n\nimagine if it were the other way around and westerners were immigrating to the middle east trying to implement christian fundamentalism and kicking and screaming when no bible laws are implemented in Egypt or Arabia ect id say most Muslims in those country's would run the westerners out no problem and kill a few while at it and its sadly true it would happen call me Anti-Islamic all you want the fact of the matter is its Islam that says i should be killed its Islam promotes control over the world under sharia law not me its Islam that promotes jihad and the killing of non-believers you have to understand why people are afraid in the 1st place and i don't see many Muslims standing up denouncing the extremists ether which is shocking coming from a religion with over a billion people

I'am sorry but out of all the muslims I meet or see 99.8% are Ass*****! They have a nasty attitude and where ever they go they accept to be treated as kings and queens! And the way muslim guys talk to the women(not just muslim women) but any race makes me cringe! They have no respect for there own family or the people around them. And that one percent of muslims who are in every way awesome but most of them..Sory to say.are horrible people!

My experience in Canada has been largely positive, with only minimal racial difficulties.  As a teenager, I do recall some kids making blatantly racist comments, when I was the only minority in the room; but they were silly girls, popular and full of themselves, and most of the students who heard did not laugh with them. We all knew it was wrong.  Another time I was told, by an agent, that a potential employer claimed she would not hire me because of my race.  I did not hear these words firsthand, though, so it was impossible for me to verify the truth. In the end, I let the matter alone. Other people,  I realize, have endured severe injustices; such have not been my experience, but this does not subtract from their reality.  Indeed, racism does exist, and shall remain as long as there are imbeciles wallowing in the mire of ignorance, people who cling to an absurd sense of superiority for lack of something more meaningful to hold.  As well--and it must be said!--quite likely, we all have, at some point, entertained discriminatory thoughts. 'Tis not a 'black and white' problem but a human one, and we must be mindful of it beginning with ourselves.  Canada, then, with its many inhabitants and complex history, will never be the exception. We can't expect perfection among people, here or anywhere else in the world.  Even so,  I believe there are enough fellow Canadians who strive to treat people as individuals and are happy to make friends across cultures.  My life has been and continues to be a testament to that!  Whatever our troubles, we still retain a proud heritage of diversity and progressive ethnic harmony.  We do try, and for this reason I love my country.  I am deeply patriotic and immensely proud to be part of it!  

They should go the Greek way. A one way ticket home and 300 Euros. I am not saying all of them are bad, most are not but it seems the more militant ones bring disdain and misery to the English people. I was born in England & I do visit once a year. No-one (muslim) has ever bothered me and I go where I please but these militants need to be kicked out and stop this immigration allowing them to come in immediately. After all this trouble they wd be mad to let in more.

Firstly, I am English and I do not hate the world and neither do most people I know here\nSecondly, there is nothing open minded about Saudi Arabia - it is an intolerant, primitive, barbaric society ruled by oppression and fear\nThirdly, this true royalty you talk of is only in place to sell oil to the West at a cheap price and only able to do that because of the technology of the West\nFinally, do your research on the Saud family - they are a bunch of murdering bastards who deserve no respect

Im sorry what part of the world givers the most aid to under developed country's? The west is superior to any Islamic country, you are blinded by your religion, brain washed from a young age. It's sad really because i can get on with most people, but the problem is Islam is not compatible with Western life and so theres this clash. And the thing is the West has had many internal clashes in the past the strongest system always won, so some backward religion is never going to change anything.

We have to let them have rights, meaning the Islam unstable religion thing, they build mosques and do what the fuck they want! It's that bad here in the uk now, that they even have no white people zones!!! They are mostly unwanted here, trouble is free speech is now outlawed by our government here! Most people I speak to have slowly got to a point of having enough , hence the rise of far right groups, people basically voting for a extremist party, to allow the government to change! I

>Wealth doesn't equal happiness.\nAnd uhh, addendum, neither does a lack of natural disasters. ;) I heard Dhaka (capital) is one of the worst-placed cities in the world, next to a big ass mountain, prone to flooding, earthquakes, and apparently close to a volcano. Still, there are happy people in Dhaka. Most immigration is done in the name of capitalism, so you can be hired as cheap labour as you'll expect lower wages. One of the many reasons it's bad for both immigrants and natives.

Well i was asking because I have read your Quran a few times\n\nThe thing about the Quran is, its a list of do's and don'ts, (a book of laws). The laws are listed, and what people don't realise is that Islam is actually a form of government, it is politics, law and order all rolled into one religion.\n\nFor this reason you can compare Islam to other forms of governance like Communism and Democracy.\n\nHowever secular muslims like Attaturks followers reject most clause's in Islam.\n\n

No, nothing to do with race, its religion I have a problem with, pretty much ever war has been over religion or had elements of religion in them, the Muslims are in a western (white) nations enforcing people to change bullshit religions, saying they own areas which none believers can`t enter and enforcing an extremist Islamic law on its native people, I don`t mean this to all Muslims most real Muslims are against what this patrol are doing.

Most are. And if you dont beleive simply look hard at the middle east and places they go too. However I greatly respect the afghanistan military soilders (the ones who dont turn there guns on each other or americans) they have to fight some of the most ignorant people the world has seen since nazi's
