I think that I am not trying to take sides..............its your choice..sure...o.k..i get that.. but with all the problems with the Nations security..i think they should be banned...I am not trying to violate anybodies rights..but what about the rights of innocent people who are getting slaughtered cause they wanted to go out and have a coffee or see a movie ??? this is a security act..a measure of keeping all people of this land safe.............sorry but its just a security issue..if a terrorist takes a gun shoots a few people then runs while wearing one..how do you get a description of the guilty party..its like me going into a school with a ski mask in September ...just makes people feel uneasy especially whats happening today around the world.....Peace....

higher status? seriously? not bing able to show yourself means you're held to a higher status? sounds like something the men tell them to make them be okay with it. sounds like bullshit. wear what you want, i don't care but it seems messed up to me that you would have to wear something that covers your whole body, seems like you're less of a person not a more important person.

I don't care if you wear hijab but covering face all the time and refusing to take pictures for lisence and passport is not okay. also when the whole world has problem with your religion maybe there must actually be problem you have to fix and not act like you are the victims. we have right to be careful and no its not fair to you but this is what people who follow Islam faith and harm others get you. Islamic people out cry for their right but have to problem taking others away. for example wanting daycares to ban pork just because they can have porn. you should not get special treatment for you religion. I am Hindu/Buddhist and I do not ask people to stop eating beef or many other restrictions that apply to me. the pride of your religion is what's keeping you guys from sensible thinking. and no not all Muslims are the same but the percentage of people that share hatred for other religions is too great too ignore. if you want people to accept you then try becoming a part of the culture and not try to change it for your liking. show love to other faiths and athiests. stop trying to make exceptions for your religion.

I'm reading comments and wow I see Canadians even worst then Americans and Europeans! Just don't touch Muslims and they will not touch you, you know what I mean? Don't sent to Muslim countries your army don't create Isis or something like that with your Jew bosses and blacking us! You guys don't know what to be a real Muslim!

there is no such thing as anti Muslim. If mom wants to take over North America and we must stop it! I love these Canadian for standing up to Islam! But this video is part of the vast propaganda network setup by Muslims to pretend that they are like any other religion or people and therefore are offended at being not like. That is utter rubbish Islam is here to take over Canada as well as the rest of the world. Every single former Muslim will tell you the same thing. They will use democracy against you, get into your country and kill you.

take a good hard look at all the muslim refugees in europe. look at what they are doing and demanding of the host nations and their citizens.\n\nislam is a relgion of hatred, violence, and terror. period there is not radical this or moderate that, islam has principles that ALL obey and swear to follow. like having sins forgiven and going striaght to heaven, if they die in the process of killing infidels. this is NOT radical islam, it is A BASIC PRINCIPLE OF ISLAM. so basic it is like confession to a catholic.\n\nyou are not the same as i. your religion teaches you to hate me and kill me if you can. islam is not pro women, it is not tolerant, and it is not about peace. wake up people!

The thing is you hear things about ISIS or hamas and you try to separate it and say that it only the extremists, when in fact the moderates still support it. when speaking to a muslim friends of mine i asked her if your book says killing is wrong then why is there so much of it in islam? to my dismay she said that as long as they're killing for her religion its ok and that she supports things like the charlie hebdo shootings. She claims to support freedom of speech, but in reality, only things that are not opposed to islam. tried telling her if you ant talk about something freely then it isn't freedom of speech but she couldnt comprehend that. its disappointing to see that even though they are not the ones directly in the terrorist groups, they still support what they do.

if your in a western country,.. you shouldnt have to feel like you need to cover your face. i agree with harper. and no one is going to hurt a muslim. im sure there not as afraid as those who cant see there face. -_-

Tolerance is not a one way street. Canadians (and other westerners) should wake up and realize that, and also form a basic understanding about the evils of islam, that muslims stand for.\nMany douchebags and pseudo-liberals of the Ben Affleck kind, will go to great lengths to defend islam and muslims while knowing absolutely nothing about that religion or its followers, with the only purpose being to selfishly display how PC they are. A true liberal person will value their acquired freedoms and privileges, and not be tolerant of the intolerant. Furthermore, real leaders should not be afraid to bring these points up, backing them up with hard evidence (not just hear-say or opinions), for the purpose of protecting civilised society: so that muslims and non-muslims all can understand why islam is incompatible with western civilisation. If muslims are offended by any of that, then that offence is brought on by themselves. PC has no place here.\n\nHere are some reasons why islam is incompatible with civilised society:\n1. Muslims consider the quran to be the perfect book and their prophet to be the perfect man, who's behaviour is to be aspired to, so perfect that any imagery of him does him great injustice and is forbidden. Other than being plain stupid, this in itself doesn't affect civilised society much (except free speech when drawing cartoons), but this does becomes a critical point in combination with the next points:\n2. A perfect man does not marry a 6 year old girl and then f*ck her when she's 9. But that's what their perfect prophet did and they know it, often justifying it as being in a different time. Well no time ever has been ok for a 50+ year old man to f*ck a 9 year old. \n3. In this religion that muslims consider perfect, apostasy is to be punished by death (quran 4:89). This combined with the fact that muslims consider their religious doctrines more important than man-made (western) law is something that makes them incompatible with civilised society. Of course they benefit from the civilised society, but not vice versa. \n4. Then there are the many verses in the quran that order muslims to fight non-muslims (and specifically jews), order death for adultery and homosexual behaviour, etc. Just search and you'll find as there are way too many to list here. Try here for example: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/\n5. Islam is an extremely controlling religion, it intervenes in everything aspect of human life, even as far as with which hand is to be used for eating and which for wiping off after taking a dump. It also declares itself to be the only true and last religion leaving no space for other religions or atheism. This is what makes it such a totalitarian and fascist religion.\n\nMuslims won't deny these points I listed, but they often will try to evade addressing them. \nToo keep a long story short: if you are really a tolerant/liberal person, then you stand your ground and stand for civilised principles, and don't tolerate or defend islam like some traitorous PC pseudo-liberal Ben Aslick sort of character.

I used to be a very liberal person for most of my life and tolerant of other cultures and religious faith, like many others I may add.\n However my tolerance is wearing somewhat thin, like many others I may add again, after hearing the same old opinions coming from Muslims repatriated in western societies. \n They come into our cultures on mass and never assimilate into ours, but create their own little pockets of cultural being within our national borders.\n We hear time and again how the indigenous populist must be accepting of them, even though very few are accepting of our culture, using an analogy it's akin to inviting a stranger into your home and give them a safe place to live, food, money and all items that go along with it, and the next thing their sat on your favourite chair with your remote in their hand, even going to bed with your wife!\n We need to wear our head covering it's our right they chant, OK then, afford the same favours to us in your country, let my partner wear her bikini when she's walking down the road, let us drink alcohol, build Christian churches, you get where I'm going with this.\n If it's so great there why do you choose to live here? All the customs you seek are there if you feel that uncomfortable here? \nGiving Sewden as an example, there are now 180 Muslim 'ghettos' not the same you get in the US as the accommodation and welfare is quite generous there, a lot of them are 'No-go' areas even for the police, they mostly hate the Swedish people, a criminal element there will only rob off the swedes, and rape has gone up tenfold committed mostly by the Muslims, and it's only going to get worse as they are accepting another forty thousand of them, even though they have a crisis of a shortage of housing. \n If you ever needed an example of when your political parties have totally lost the plot, and are insanely progressive and what your country could become, then use Sweden as a barometer as to what your country could also decay into.\n The Muslims hate use, hate our freedoms, and just think of us as 'infidels' , multiculturalism has proved on this scale that it does not work, unless immigrants come with the mindset that they assimilate into the culture they are heading for, not the other way around.

I would like to know if these women have ever been to Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan? Your sisters in these places dont have the chance to speak freely, speak to other men. I would like to remind these girls where the hijab/Niqab what they aregoing through.\n\nIslam does not give privilege to women like you say... really look at what is going on outside of your comfort zone in Canada ans the west where you speak so freely.

I can understand how these countries allow women to cover their face like that? \n\nYou don't have a right to do whatever you want, it is limited with rights of other people, in this case my right to be able to identify a person who was participating in/witnessing a crime or an accident or whatever. If you are on public grounds you have no right to conceal your identity and covering face does exactly that. \n\nI personally think their religion is oppressing women and that this is not really a choice for them as they fear hell, or their family abandoning them or worse, but regardless of that, their religious freedom stops where my, and rights of other people begin.

I as a Canadian am sick of muslims and I don't care if people like it or not, they are ungrateful and Canadian taxpayers having to pay a bill of over 260,000 dollars makes me angry, if you don't want to show your faces get the hell out and don't come ,it's high time we all wake up and see this cancer for what it is. I'm not a racist, I am a patriotic Canadian.

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 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 !!!

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.

it's so sad and pathetic.... I feel sorry fory you England!! Living in your country, and hearing things like - go away!! you cannot be here!! shame...

YOUR SAYING THAT WE MARRY CHILDREN! ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO CONTINUE THE STEREOTYPE OF THE ''BAD MUSLIMS''. YOUR ABSOLUTELY RASIST AND ADVOCATING LIES ABOUT MUSLIMS. YOU ARE ACCUSING US OF DOING THINGS THAT ARE PERVERTED, RIGHTFULLY YOU HAVE ERNED THIS ATTRIBUTE BASED ON YOU IMORAL UNFOUNDED ACCUSATION. ISLAM IS *PERFECTION*, PEOPLE ARE NOT PERFECT, BUT THE RELIGION IS. I HOPE THAT AFTER ALL OF THIS SEGREGATION, ALIENATION AND INJUSTICE AGAINST OUR FAITH THAT EVERY ONE LIKE YOU PAYS. resist !!!

Why do you call me a pervert and continue with the insults? FYI, your religion advocates marrying children!! Through out this entire conversation I have not once insulted you regardless of the fact that I disagree with your position on the subject.\n\nYou know nothing about me and I'm not American!\n\nIt is people like you that continue to perpetuate the stereotypical intolerant, angry, hateful Muslim attitude. It is you who brings shame on good Muslim people who don't share your extremist views.

I agree with you a 100%. I'm a muslim and you need to understand that not all of us are like that. The media is reporting this story that involved ''a hand full'' of idiots calling them self muslim disturbing people. This is not islam. The land does not belong to anybody so there is no way of making a revolution against another social group. We have to learn to coexist in this unique planet. Your proposal is quite weird ... its not solving anything. Thank god your not the gov lool ;p

its bigger than just $, its part of an agenda by the new world order and the devil himself. i want you to please make every effort yourself to research and find the truth. there's plenty out there.do not watch the news or read the newspapers its all bullshit distracting you from the truth. google wake up project and like i said the arrivals is an excellent way to start series of short videos 10 mins long. you will not be dissapointed. or you can continue with your own research. peace.

if i was walking down the street and someone said some shit about muslim petrol to me i would smack him in the face and tell him this is england!\n\nthey wouldnt like it if we forced them to eat a bacon sandwich, dont force your shit on us and we wont force our shit on you. youre guests in our country, when we go to muslim countries such as dubai we have to respect the laws of the land. its about time you lot did the same and shut up about your sharia bullshit\n

Yeah see, exactly my point. It wasn't your choice. For all the problems of Bangladesh, you would be better off there. Wealth doesn't equal happiness.\n\nNote that my views formed WHILE I was in the UK - specifically after 16 as there was no sixth form locally and I had to go to the city to study. I'm sure you wouldn't like it either if Bangladesh started being overrun by people of other cultures (note that religion heavily integrates with culture, but culture is a problem too, as is race).

We started it? ... Like moors in Spain? Oh, i did not know that Europeans were BLACK. And spoke arabic...\n\nWell, now we're talking. Religion of peace my ass. Queen? You mean during a beating from your husband or right before it? By the way, threaten us more... We have loads of pig meat ready to throw at ya.

Yes sharia law does start from your own home, but that is only if your home is back in whichever backwards country you come from if not then the laws of the country you live in are the ones you live by. Dont understand why minorities can get away with so much just by crying rasism like it is only white people that are rasist, I talk about how much I dislike americans and noone blinks an eye but if I said I dislike Indians then i am a rasist

I have a simple question to you but i seriously doubt you would be able to understand since it looks like you have been brainwashed and possibly molested in your madarsa. \nCan sharia law be established in an Non-Islamic Country? \nIf you want to chop peoples hand off and go around threatening people in the streets then why not movie to Saudi? \nDoes UK not give more rights to Muslims then the so called majority Muslim countries does to its citizens?\nFYI: We don't deny the Ahadith.

Oh really I bet I could debate your islam with you and beat you hands down I have studies your evil cult my friend & it's not a peaceful religion by any means, don't even get me started, YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. 'islam is a form os government' ummmm who are you quoting cause it's not me?!? Silly!!! Although it is true but it's more like a totalitarian regime, a political ideology that encompasses a country, take a look at the middle east & other muslim countries for examples! Silly boy!! :)

I bet you NO ONE in your entire family has EVER contributed anything to England all you pathetic racists do is whinge & complain, guess what ACTIONS speak louder than words get off your ass & get a job, you're PATHETIC, those Polish immigrants have 10x up on you they will work hard to make a better like for themselves, they are grateful for thier opportunities & will contribute to your country & community which is more than you and your rascist, restarded mindset will EVER do. Get real TOSSER.

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

I agree with this! See, their is middle ground!!! Of course, I can not stop you from drinking, but you should not walk into a mosque with such things and try not to be loud/disruptive around mosques (or any other places of worship) after your done drinking. Most Muslims are like myself, but no one looks. No one looks at the Muslims doing the little good deeds that make a difference (Clothinghomeless, helping teachers, feeding orphans) the focus is always on some fringe group that causes problems
