Islamophobia, islamophobe. Both made up words. Is nothing more than words for someone who knows to much about islam. Look it up if you want.

I don't mean to be rude but how is burqa a choice? Why would anyone want to dress up in a black robe covering from head to toe, except eyes and sometimes eyes too? I know it's religious thing but how can one make it a personal choice to wear it? That too women? It's ok for men, they only have so many colours in their attire to choose, but women? Seriously? I think burqa should be for Muslim men who are ok with wearing the same colour everyday (in general). I like hijab, the head scarf, it comes in so many colours and it's so pretty, hijab makes you beautiful. Not burqa or niqab.

Any muslim woman who claims to wear that ridiculous costume of their own free will? IS FULL OF SHIT. You know you do it so you wont be attacked by your own people.

I'm glad people in Toronto have finally realized who Muslims are and what they've been doing around the world. We must keep a check on these people by not allowing them to hold a demonstration etc. Even send them back to their country of origin. I also know that there are some good Muslims but you don't know what's inside their hearts.

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.

why do muslims insist on showing themselves off. why can't they practice in private why do we need to know one is muslim? who cares but muslim

I agree with Charles Dawkins,who knows him,will agree with him also.

I hearn an imam mention the other day a decade and a half ago hed walk down the street with his wife in a niqab and not a stare. Now that the likes of harper have instilled unecessary fear in people;s hearts bc as a politician people like harper know the general population is like sheep, the imam mentions that now he gets talked about walking around with his wife...same people that are minding their business in life but different world. I wish the worst for people like harper and bush etc....

Israel knows how to deal with this nonsense

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.

Oh lets call it what it really is ... It's *jealousy* \n\nThey know they're fucked up men with fucked up ideologies and know there are better men for their women that would respect them for who they are and not just sex tools. Talk to one in public with their man around ... and then watch her husband act like a little *jealous toad*\n\n@ 4:57 You can hear and see her pause ... she knows her man told her to wear it!!

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.

Islam teaches to die as a muslim so that you can reach paradise. we do not force anyone to become Muslim.\nAnd anyone who has long beard and the name Abdulla , Sultan or even osama bin laden doesnt make him ot her a muslim.\nEven if you dress like a muslim , that doesnt mean you are a muslim, it is what is in your heart that makes you a muslim and only Allah knows bcoz he see all ,hears all nd mot even a leaf falls without his command

I agree with some of the Canadians if you can't not abide by Country rules feel free at any moment to leave theyr beautiful country. I know I don't feel comfortable when I see they're women with all that fucking shit on that just honesty.

ugo fist lives in toronto don't you know.

I wonder if that muslim girl knows that we can see her face clearly through that veil? And why impose something on yourself that prevents girls and women from leaving a burning building if they aren't wearing it, leading to their deaths? Why accept this imprisonment? And how can these women think this is them being held at a higher standard? What you mean is that if you are raped, it would be considered yout fault. Just good ol'brainwashing techniques at play. \n\nIn any case, the veil does not belong in a society where people have photo IDs.

I just wonder why? Why Muslims? I mean every religion has the extremists! I know Muslims has the fair share and maybe more! But so what I am scared... Scared to wear a hijab in public because a person in my class. Someone I thought was a friend asked me what religion I was. I answered Muslim. He critiqued me he swore and called me a terrorist. In front of my best friends face. She didn't do anything... People seem to believe what ever is put on the media. Yeah we have terrorists but who doesn't! So what we have our religion you have one too. So what I just wonder. Why dose it have to be Muslims?

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

You Zbon the religion of Islam, but it is the true religion ..Did you know that your religion typeface and agreed priest Onzero to the Ahmed Deedat, a cast sermon ...We are a nation of one billion and 500 million Muslims ..That the religion of truth ..Stop racism O backward people

DONT TRUST YOUR GOVERMENT OR YOUR RELIGION, TURN TO JESUS CHRIST YOU DONT NEED ANY ONE TO BE YOUR SAVIOUR (EXCEPT) HIM - JESUS CHRIST.....READ THE BIBLE NOW SO YOU CAN GET TO KNOW YOUR GOD BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT....THE CLOCKS TICKING\n

You really dont know what shariah is. Do some research!! It is sick.

Understand that I have read the Quran, Sunnah and some Hadith so I know full well that it is permitted to kill in Islam, I understand the contextual issue however you have 1 of 2 problems there\nEither all the violence and instructions to kill non-believers that are very clear in the Quran are for a different age and so the Quran is outdated and obsolete OR it is for all men for all time and so the verses instructing the killing of non-believers is valid hence these murderers are following Islam

Quran does not permit to kill an innocent muslim or non muslim. If you do, you will answer to god. Muslim's are afraid of god before fearing any law. We believe that god sees every action we make, and I repeat... It is prohibited in islam for somme one to kill an innocent person. I'm a shamed of people using islam as a shield to kill innocent people. If american's kill millions of innocent children its because they don't know god, but a muslim should not do that. God will punish americans...

There is only one god worthy of worshiping. He is the most merciful, generous, all-knowing and all-wise. If you where to ask him for forgiveness, not associate him with anything else, praise and thank him with sincerity, he will forgive you. This life is like a journey, your born, married, have a baby, die. People have been there and done that. Ask your self the true reason of your existence (is it to have a big house, car...)Worship god ALONE and seek refuge with him. He is truly unique. Peace!

hey my brother islam is true Religion and you don't know that

Im a muslim nd even i know harasing people is completely wrong. They can only TELL them what there ddoing wrong and if they listen its up to them.\n

No, no it wouldn't be a race war. It's about Islam not their ethnicity. There are Arab Christians who take great pride in being British and they would oppose these thugs. Actually it wouldn't be a war. It would be simply cleaning up the neighborhoods of Islamic bullies and cowards. I live very close to the main mosque in Denver and there are a lot of Muslims. Not once have I had any challenge me and I'm a 65 year old disable man. They need to know their limits in no uncertain terms.\nThomas

There are no muslim problem in Poland :) They know what would happen if they would ask for more laws for them or a demonstration :)

u're right, i am very lucky to get to know about this site. Listen to this, really lucky that i registered and earning more than $40 daily from this web site :). i got it from here. you can also try it: bit.ly\\13qLPZX

Whatever your point is be more mature in speaking your mind. Talk about changing policies, stopping immigration, and things that could acheive something. Not sure if you're from the UK but you should know well enough that its a country where people should have a voice, so make yours heard.

it is also shocking for pakistani christians who live in the UK. these people don't know the art of living and they impose it on others, unless the govt start to send them back this problem with grow. first they will demand shitia law and then they will ask for own cities and then may be their own country. india's partition is an example.\n

Muslims just go on and on endlessly about their fucking warped religion. Us sensible people dont want to know so for fucks sake shut up!!!

I am not impressed mate. I also know a few foregn words. Do you think that people will think you are clever? I actually think you are stupid and I bet you are not employed. You would not be ranting this shit if you had a job. Thats a thing about muslims, they only rant like this if they are not earning.

that is islam.. the islam you know. is in jihad stage 1 still... stealth.. its all a lie. theres so much hate in the koran. ive read it all

Yes we need to tell them that they are doing wrong.\n\nlooooooooool, then why im i allways judged for my beard as a terrorist? but i know ppl who are swedish and have beard then they are ok.\n\njust so you know that ALL ppl judge. no one is perfect.\n\nIslam says to us to not judge anyone even if we see things like we want dosent mean that its like that.

My views are not fascist! I hate an entire religion and believe them to be a drain on society and stereotype them all to be violent! I also have strict views on border control! But my views aren't right wing in the slightest! I'm not denying being right wing because I heard cruel people like Hitler and Mussolini were fascists and I don't want my views to be compared to theirs!\nWell, I guess it's all relative, you know, you're an ass-licking left-wing compared to the holocaust supporters! :P

America stand with you. We got over 12million illegals sucking up our system so trust me we know how it feels.

They should be allowed to have a religion, but they should keep it to themselves i.e, I shouldnt even know what they believe. But they cant keep their mouths shut, and these facists insult both other religions and non-believers like myself, who value freedom of speech and expression and this is, you could say, fascism with an islamic face.

I think you are ignorant. When you are saying that you will torture satan and you hate him (but you even don't know the nature of satan and his cleverness) you are doing exactly what satan manipulate you to do- thinking about bad things you will do to somebady you hate...

Islam is the newest therefore cloest too the truth, it is not our book which has been altered millions of times. We stay true to what it teaches, do you know how many times the Bible has been changed? It is lies. Proof that we are the truth....\n\n

ALLAH glory be to him alone knows everything. He knows one fate even before life is given to them in the womb. \nALLAH judges people after the day of judgment so that the good can be rewarded and the wrong be punished.

Does it say so that he was terrified and he asked allah to forgive him as he did not know he sinned...quote the verse which says like the way you said.secondly mohd.did not know if he sinned, same way mohd. also did not know if the person he met in the cave was gabriel or an evil spirit? and yet you say he was a sinless prophet,where as Jesus the quran says he was sinless...see the proof that Jesus is sinless and quran only says mohd. asked forgiveness...clear distinction that Jesus is superior.

THE QURAN CAME IN 640 AFTER JESUS CHRISTS RESURRECTION...NOW ONE PERSON SAYS SOMETHING WITHOUT ANY WITNESS AND TELLS GOD TOLD HIM SO .... WITHOUT ANY PROOF OR WITNESS HOW CAN ONE BELEIVE WHAT HE SAID IS CORRECT....HE ALSO THINKS GABRIEL IS A DEMON THE FIRST TIME HE MEETS HIM AND GABRIEL PRESSES HIS NECK 3 TIMES AND TELLS HIM TO READ.....YOU MEAN TO SAY THE ANGEL GABRIEL DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS MAN WAS NOT LITERATE ...AND THIS MAN THINKS GABRIEL IS A DEMON...THEN HE CHANGES HIS STANCE !!!!

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

i dont think it will happen in the uk\nchristians and muslims thumbs up if you want jesus peace and blessings be upon him to hurry up and come to earth to kill the antichrist \nbecause i know i do

@abuhamza don't get me started on the islamic 'golden age' we all know how islam was spread by the SWORD, we all know they conquered India, Greece, Spain etc had their texts translated & boom the 'islamic golden age' lol, what has islam contributed to the world in the past 1000 or so years? Of that's right a big fat 0!! The dark age in the west was due to religious oppression dummy, which is what islam still wants!! Armenian genocide anyone?? Muslims oppress 'kafirs' in their countries DON'T LIE

hmmm, i don't know if i necessarily agree with you on that or not...to be honest i'd say no religion has really contributed to science/maths, christianity didn't bring about quantum physics or the string theory, did it?

This is not how Muslims are...Islam is peace, and these actions are not permitted. I know they have good intentions, but they cannot try to change people this way.

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.

2-\nI have been warning all westerns that i know, but many don't believe me. Probably because they've not experienced the true face of Islam in nations where it rule, but now you are getting glimpse of who is it in UK, and other parts where it is acting freely. The freedom Islam and its clerks take in your lands, is forbidden in lands where Islam rule, for example, Christians hardly could build a church (usually they get demolished more than built in places where fundamental Islamic society exist
