Maybe racial profiling would have stopped or changed the terror attack in Belgium

CBC, I'm disappointed. You have to be aware that the Implicit Association Test is a flawed test. Do some research, and you will find that outside of the soft sciences, it does not hold water. It is not a repeatable test. Get one person to do the same test every day for 30 days. See how things change. \nAdditionally, that written survey is craftily put together to get what it wants. Just look at the language.

Anyone else getting tired of this Politically Correct media? Everything we do is wrong, we aren't changing enough for others, we should be ashamed of who we are. Its just so tiring. It never stops.

muslims know that they are suffering becoz of islam only , but they are not ready to change coz they are mad and egiostic

This points out to the ignorance and lack of any logical reasoning. These two (dubious) university graduates claim that 'hijab/niqab helps us come close to our religion', ridiculous . Also, they ostensibly beleive that their so called 'modern' religion of peace regards 'women'one notch above men....This cannot be equality. Also, it is the same religion which does not permit women to vote, does not treat women as 'full witnessess'...It means that a testimony of two women is considered equivalent to that of one man.... is this equality and fair treatment of women? Rubbish. \n\nMany religions have lot of such stupid stuff and all have changed with modern times and these guys are clutching hard to 1400 year old illogical traditions. For example, Indians condemned and discontinued widow burning long back, the western world predominantly Christian, has long back take a humane view of homosexuality ( no homosexuals are punished as per the Old Testament any more) and these guys are busy justifying outdated practices. \n\nBetter change with times or else face the brunt of being ostracized to reason you create yourselves. Nobody can help.

I'd like to address this to the woman who went to one of Trump's rallies dressed as a Moslem with her head covered with a scarf and having a sign that reads, 'I come in peace'. I don't know why she was asked to be escorted out, but by her own words the people in the crowd were throwing questions at her as to whether she had a bomb under her cloak. Well, whether she knew it or not, she provoked the crowd by wearing the mark of a Moslem - her cloak. Also, by going to the rally dressed the way she was, she knew before hand that she'd be treated that way. On her part, I see that as provocation. Had she gone plainly dressed or attired like everybody else, there would have been no adverse reaction toward her. I don't know what she could have said why she was asked to be escorted out, but she fully knows that the whole of America had been given the real and true picture of Islam - one of terror, murder, beheading, bombs, war, and blood. How do Moslems expect the most compassionate, kind, benevolent people in the world to act? So, please, use your common sense and do not see America as the enemy, the aggressor, or the provocateurs. They're not. They are just being vigilant knowing that the enemy could be so sly, cunning and untrustworthy. Islamic people,we welcomed you to our country. Don't think that we are not watching you. We have given you a new start for a happy life compared to the life you have had in your native lands, but we are guarding against an invasion that your evil governments have designed for our beloved country. The truth of the matter is that you are our guests in our country, and you don't have he right to demand of us what you like, especially when you want us to change our laws just to accommodate or please you. The more attacks you perpetrate against Americans, the more we will be true to our resolve to deport you. Good Moslems, show your rage against the radicals amongst you. If you don't, you'll be sorry, because willy nilly, you'll be affected too. You cannot be in America and refuse to live by the laws we live by.

so pro women is wearing nothing?????? i am roman catholic and when i go to mass, i wear a veil. and remember it wasnt that long ago that women, no matter where, had to wear long dresses. and what do canadians think of nuns wearing their habits? should nuns ( and some here in italy, dress almost like muslims) change because of stupid, uneducated prejudice people?

What makes you muslims so attracted to the west ??? you hate our way of life, we hate your way of life, you bring what you are running from with you, why ? You should look at how we live before you come here. If you did, you would determine that this is NOT a place for you. Why do you not go to a country who shares your values i/o coming here and trying to change what makes Canada great.....you are selfish, inconsiderate and extremely arrogant !!!!

Trudeau is changing our culture. He has condemned our children to endless misery and violence.

what we need is an enlightment movement with islam where the individual determines whats best for themselves rather than these literal interpretations. In the U.S. at my school many of the 3rd generation muslim kids my age are becoming integrated. Girls wear hats that conceal their hair and long sleeves that fit within their religions dress code instead of the burka and young men are very open to other people ideas such as alchohol use. The problem is when families control their children, as in any case really, and are less than open to change. As a son of an immigrant the most important step with integration is the elimination of your cultural identity, you leave your values in your own country because you are no longer in an enviorment where your opinion matters or is relevant. If muslims could adjust/conform their rules to fit the conscripts of western civilization everything would be dandy. Adapt to fit the society that you move into, dont try to reform society to better suit yourself expecially when your a foriegner.

How would it be if there was a rash of ultra violence from some Christian groups around the world? Would priests and nuns walk around flaunting their garb to people? Or what if sects of Amish formed hit groups and started forcing their ways through violence? Would all Amish be able to wear their garb so easily? No way!\nMuslims need to understand that the radicals in their religions have caused fears throughout the Western world and the time has come where they must give up some things. The burqa and full coverage stuff is scaring the shit out of people. If they don't volunteer to be understanding of this, the laws are gonna change and then they will have to conform. The price of freedom I'm afraid. Quit being so fundamental and strict about stuff. Let time heal the wounds first, or suffer the way everyone else did for hundreds of years.

Immigration is changing everything about Canada. I want a binding referendum on immigration, but we all know that our corrupt politicians will never allow that. They realize Canadians would fully vote against further immigration.

No other nationality of refuge has been a issue because they respect are way of life.we must change are way of life for Muslims. not the real Canadians .

We don't want change! bring your Halloween costumes with you and fuck off back to your country

Adopt our ways and customs or go home to the land of sand . We will not change our country to fit you . Burkas need to be banned here , its not the Canadian way . We don't care if you call us racists thats the only card you can play and you use it as a free pass to get away with whatever you want . If you let 25000 young able bodied men here to rape and plunder us I want Castle Law not sheria law .

The problem with Islam and the Islam informer is a big game. The Islam informer to the government it totally deceiving, example. \nOne Muslim he is a religious due to sickness in the family but he is not a violent persons, the informer give his information to the government and build a case against him make his life is hill and to change him to become violent. \nOne Muslim he is not a true religious but he is part of violent Islamic movement they hid him and never give his information to the government. \nThis game must stop as the innocent people are victim and the violent are free

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 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.

If they go to an airport, do they have to take the niqab off? If they don't, its a security issue. If they can see our faces, why is it fair for them to look at us? The koran has been interpreted differently by many generations of people and is changing constantly. This religion is by far the most unstable religion. There is only one god, and to get there does not mean by having a book tell you what to wear and how you wear it. If you want to wear hijabs in a country that is christian, then live like them too. If your not happy living in Canada, then go to where you came from. We don't want you here if you leave that old country because it was shit. Don't come and fuck up our country.

Islam is so primitive, most of them haven't changed their behavior since 2 millenniums ago.

go back to your country or change. if you are in Rome do the romen do. well in term of food I ain't goona eat sandwiches and other food and gonna stick to indian food.

more white guilt propaganda bullshit. Im not a racist so don't brand me one, what I want is true equality which means that I'm not going to pander to minorities for the sole reason that they are minorities. The incessant complaining about stereotypes towards blacks is ridiculous, all races have their own stereotypes. If someone saw a well dressed black person heading into an office building they wouldnt think twice but if someone saw a young black kid dressed like a gangster,smoking dope and acting shady theyre going to think suspiciously of you and there is nothing wrong with that. stop making it about race when it has a lot more to do with how you behave and act. The drive to get more black people in positions over authority for the sake of diversity is itself racist, the best person for the job is the person who should be in office if 8/10 judges are white and they are in fact the best people for the job then their should be no desire to change such things, we need to evaluate the character of a person and not their race. So much bullshit in this video it would take me hours to pick it apart.

this is bullshit, if I decided to cover my face and go out in public i would probably be arrested for conspiracy to commit robbery. The western world is no place for islam. Keep all that bullshit on the other side of the world, they're not welcome here. They all flock to north america and try and change everything about our way of life, and bitch about everything we stand for. If i moved to one of their countries and tried to pull that shit i would be publicly executed.

Don't want fear? Go back to the Middle East. We know what's in the Quran. Hate of non Muslims. Demanding cultural change & dropping kids while receiving government assistance. Like she admits, radical Muslims want to cut your head, clean off, a moderate wants a radical to cut your head off. But first we gain power through numbers, and demand by force.

Terrorism is not a problem people. Wake up, it's propaganda. Harper is pro American and look at the state they are in!\nWith that being said, Muslims need to back the fuck off and stop trying to change the Canadian way. Which means, Merry Christmas, not happy holidays.\nWhich means, if you want to be a cop, you abide by the fucking dress code.\n\netc etc

the reason why peaple hate them is simple they immigrate in a contry and they  start want change everything they doesnt like they can not just chut up and beacame normal Citizen  and that why everybody hate them

Oo ya..##### .....i am going change my religion i want be Christian , tomarro i am going church,,,, waiting day tomorrow,, thanks ,,

If you stop being intimidated by muslims in Canada, their growth will stop. Christians, Jews, atheists and minority religious groups have built this country. do not allow islam to destroy it by changing our ways and laws.

England, France, Belgium, Holland wake up!\nYou don't see what will happen in your live time in your country in next 20 years? \nWhy you allow muslim to come to your country and say in your face they don't care about you and they want a muslim state! \nThey laugh at your soft law!\nCameron want to stop migrations From Eastern EU Countries.... Because of what? \nPeople from Eastern Europe, they just want to work and they don't want to change nothing in your country because they accept you! Not like f... muslims! 

If they want sharia law, why not move back to their own countries where it's already imposed? This is disgusting, they want to change every place they go to and adapt it by their own beliefs, but if you go to a muslim country you have to cover up and live by their own rules of course. I have to say, i was in East Ham the other day with my bf, kissing on the street and this muslim guy giving us ugly stares. I just looked straight in his face and smiled. -----

This is truly disgusting to watch. Millions died to protect this country and the cancer from within will change it forever. I feel sorry for the people that come to this country and embrace the way of life. They get shit thrown at them because of backward cunts like these in the video. The sooner Islam is squashed in this country the better before it gets out of control.

I didn't change my words. You just don't understand context. Sharing similar DNA does not mean we evolved from chimps. It simply provides evidence we originated from common ancestry then diverged and evolved as two different species.\n\nIt's clear why you are so against this fact. Your religion finds it repulsive to consider humans as having any biological relationship to animals. You're religion is about domination of the planet and not about being part of it.

The Qur`an was changed by Uthman. In Chronology, and he also gave the chapternames.\nTher used to be a chapter about stoning too.\nBut, wat is really interesting, ist that the true qur`an was about a third bigger than it is now.\nIts all in Hadith my friend, i dont care enough about islam to invent such things.\nSure did you heard about aishas goat right?\nIf not, ask your imam, very funny story.\n

Btw the Quran never changed unlike the bible and all other religions. Its always the same and *intact*. If I prove you right, will you believe that the Quran is the word of god. IF I PROVE YOU RIGHT! ? ... would you believe me?

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.

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.

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.

They should all just fuck off back to Mecca , rather than trying to change our country to suit their needs! Civil war I think in the next 50 years

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

No you're the one who can't take change, if you can't accept new beliefs then you should as you say 'GTFO' to another country... Go to Australia, america... if not DON'T COMPLAIN.\n\n\nSo what's the method then if not sharia? I can't see it...

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

No I have the right to be here, it's my planet too! I have the right to want to change the law. I find it utterly disgusting so needs to be abolished ASAP..\n\nUK would be alot better (reduced crimes and all) if run under sharia law. I am for full sharia law, and I will fight for it.

1.The quran came in 640 a.d after the Bible and all the names in the Bible are in the quran with changes to suit one persons will and his doings (like justifying marrying a child 6 years old and marrying his daughter in law)\n2. This shows mohammad sinned as he asked forgiveness for his sins...past present and future sins\n3. The quran says Jesus was faultless where as it says mohammad asked for his past future and present sinsJesus is greater than mohd even in the quran though we dont believe it.

No this is not mohd.....it cannot be as mohd....as i said the quran came in 640 copied the bible verses and changed it to his liking and said he is greater than Jesus, Now how can he be greater the quran only says one thing glorifying Jesus in the quran ..... Jesus is sinless where as mohammad has asked for his forgiveness of his past present and future sins.....read more below

read Isiah 29 11-18 that is the prophecy of muhammed (pbuh) first meeting with Jibrail ( arch angel gabriel peace be upon him).\n\nwhat do you mean changes stsance?

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 only reason other religions aren't stuck in the Stone Ages anymore is because they can't possibly reconcile their Stone Age beliefs so they change and reduce their mythologies. If everyone actually believed in and followed their religions truly, they would all be fundamentalists and that's part of why they need to GO.

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 would like to say to everyone that these groups do NOT represent Islam at all. These people act according to their desires and should be locked up in prison if they do not change their behaviour. In a Muslim country they would be jailed. \n\nI am a Muslim and I am aginst alchohol and other things which Islam forbids but the way these people are going about in society is not the Islamic way in dealing with such things. \n \nIslam against these extremists visit islamagainstextremism. com

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.
