I like aeeing Muslim women on the Hijab and Niqab. They look beautiful to me.

She is saying “as Muslim women, when you wear the Nikab and the Hizab, you are not available “ that only shows the mindset these women are suffering from. They need help. By and large, if you leave a developed country like Canada to the Muslims, it will take less than 30 years to ruin it.

As a Muslim why be concerned my answer would be help me find them it's would be a mercy to them is they were met by anyone else as Muslims our lack of toleration is to things like this the NYC attacks just now I would take him and impose the law he believes in but misunderstands who truly deserves punishment under any religion or dogma but from my understanding and the main stream understanding of Islam is that you have to sometimes be politically incorrect and treat these individuals in a different way Islam stems in peace but so many are misguided may God have mercy upon us all from these tyrants God bless America

Muslim women look like black bear's hahhahhaha

I agree with this law. For safety reasons. I have a few muslim women friends including two females family members that are muslim and they dont cover their faces. They also agree with this law. we all have the right to see the face of whom is around us. I also know one woman that is not muslim but dresses and covers her face like one. Why she does that I and my neighbours dont know why. She does not talk to anyone about it and only dresses that way when she goes out of the neighbourhood. What are her intentions to do such thing? She is portuguese does not speak arabic only portuguese and broken inglish. When we ask her why she does that we are told to mind our business. We feel that it is our business because she is very strange and like i said before she only dresses that way when she goes out of the area that she lives in. What is she up too? And like her how many more is out there doing this and why? Whthout any offence to the muslim people SAFETY should come first to everyone.

i hope these Muslim people are working really hard and looking after their family by their own money and not getting any benefits from Canadian government as child benefit or housing benefit like UK !!\nBecause in UK most of these people dont work and they dont pay tax ,plus each family got minimum 4 kids and the government have too look after them and pay for their house rents ...I dont understand why the UK government not stopping that!!! .

I don't understand as to why they dress like this for but personally if they are doin this of their own free will then hey all the power to u ? an don't get me wrong I love the Muslim people I think they are awesome an cool ❤️ although we all know that Islam is not a race an is an evil ideology an That itself is what I am against not the people themselves there's a difference an it's really important that ppl realize that

when the British patience is finally lost the response to things like this will be swift. a pivotal scandal will trigger a huge shift in public opinion before too long then look out. British anger will explode into violence, violence unmatched on British soil I think.I cant see any other possible outcome, too much has happened, too much has been hidden from the public, to many crimes concealed and nothing like whats needed has been done by our politicians and government. whats comin is wrol street justice. the systems in place that should be addressing these societal issues have very little credibility left, hardly any are trusted by the public, some are now even viewed as being anti British behaving in such a manor as to conceal and protect crimes of those against british if they are not british citizens or politically active Muslims opposed to western democracy.its not goin to end well for anyone whose facilitated this organised deceit of the truth. whod admit to being a guardian or independent author when that moment arrives....

If wearing a nikab or hijab or burka was a sign of respect and honor, we would all be walking around wearing bed sheets over our heads. That fact that only women are required to cover up is exactly why it is discriminating and a sign of male chauvinism by the muslim community and islam. Having grown up in the midwest of the USA, I find it offensive and oppressive to women to see them hiding under or behind a cloth garment. Talk to anyone who specializes in communication and you will quickly understand that there are many non-verbal communications from facial expressions that contribute to the way we humans communicate with each other. To suppress these facial expressions is like seeing without color and in black and white only. This is a fact of life and not open to debate.

I'm Muslim and I'm actually afraid that something will trigger an exile of Muslims, and I haven't done anything like this

mid stream politics has allowed the muslim crisis, the only answer is to outlaw the Islamic religion, Muslim's who do not like it can leave. its the only way to solve it without violence. Muslim people are welcome but they must realise that they cannot be allowed to change the western way of life. Islam is the only religion that dictates domination therefore on those grounds a ban is justified.

Islam is the religion of peace, I am Muslim And i know more abuout Islam ...There is no concept of jehadi like ISIS ETC although jehad is piller of Islam but when your country attacked by enemies making killing then we do jehad and KILLING OF innocents is not allowed in Islam, wearing any type of hijab is good act and if one do not wear then yet she is welcomed, there is politeness relaxation and compromise for everyone in Islam,,,

please not all Muslim people are the same there are some quite ones like me ...

Muslims leave Muslim countries to come to countries with Christian foundations and then want them to be Muslim, just like the countries they have left. What did you leave for ?

America is not all about war war war and guns just because we have a big military jeez! And not everyone here has a gun, there are some people that just don't like them for different reasons.\n If you come to a place like Texas yea just about everybody here has one I do, but there are still people even here that don't like um. You can't be an expert on another country by being there 100 something days. And I don't understand where everybody has this impression that all Americans are fat. Americans come in all shapes and sizes the same as everywhere els and other parts of the country are more health conscious than others. In every state you will find hundreds of gyms and plenty of muscled up fit Americans.\n As for the health care thing, I don't get it either but that was Obama momma and his stupid ideas, he was trying to destroy this country on purpose you know he's a muslim and we will never let one of those bastards sneak their way in office again. Now that Trump is in office he is trying to fix that or make it better some how. I have often wondered why can't we have a healthcare system like Canada's but America spends all of it's money on so many things in the world because of our position on the world stage we just can't work that out, thats what happens when you're the world super power.\n Most Americans have health insurance through their employer, a certain amount is taken out of our paycheck every month and if I get sick or have an emergency I pay a small co pay at the doctors office which is 35 dollars and emergency room co pay is 150 the insurance pays the rest.

Did she just list honor killings as a part of Islam??? This journalist needs to research the religion properly because honor killings are not condoned whatsoever... this concept is just belted out by haters who are on a smear campaign of Islam. And then this journalist gave that farzana lady the last word of her 'critical' views on Islam it just undid everything the Muslims were doing before her giving a clearer picture of Islam, farzana lady will just make people confused I mean those are her personal opinions but how does it help this piece? Also last time I checked following fashion trends is not synonymous to peer pressure as what journalist wants to suggest that girl was peer pressured in to wearing the scarf when she clearly explained she wasn't. And when that guy was talking about teaching women Islamic studies journalist is like but you just teach them Islam not anything else WELL it's a mosque that's what people usually do if they want to learn religion they go to place of worship, if they want to learn something else they go to school or university. She's just twisting their words to give this undertone to the piece that yes the stereotypes are true but Muslims are still somewhat ok. Just stop spreading the hate and provide non-bias journalism!

Muslims are not bad we're normal people like everyone else what the hell is the problem I love Islam because I am a Muslim comment if you agree and if you don't get the hell out of here bc like I said we're normal people like Americans and everyone else in the world we come to America because we want to be safe here

the pressure is obvious because Islam does not blend with our culture, if they want to be hard core Muslims they can do whatever floats their boat, but if they impose it on ppl with Sharia like in the UK and France then is a real problem and should be banned

They deserve every ounce of speculation. Statistically most likely to perform acts of terror. And majority Muslim countries crimes against humanity are probably highest. Not all drunk drivers crash but you still get worried when you see one.

I'd like to see'  all ' muslim women walk around in public without their veils , and see how their men will react to them without a veil in public ,and see for yourself who is really in control of islam religion,,, not the women ,,,

Wow! What a surprise! People don't like Muslims! Hahaha. No shit! They fucking suck!! \n\nFUCK ISLAM!! \n\nDon't brainwash your children into Islam.

If they like Islam why they come Europe. because Europe culture contradict Islam culture. \nmuslims should not go non muslims country's according to Islam laws.

Muslims must change there view.stop islam bull.live in West\n like others.

steven harper is right if you do not want sharia then stand up against jihad , if you feel afraid think how we feel with you spouting Islam these young girls are either naive or stupid you will not have the freedoms you enjoy in the west once sharia is fully implemented perhaps they should spend time in Saudi or Indonesia . they feel trendy empowerment in the west against us but this is not the reality for Muslim women in truth they will become the abused and invisible 2nd class citizens in Islam and they wont like that . what they are doing is against democracy and free women you stupid stupid femenists

If the Muslims are fearful about living in Canada then they can move to somewhere else like Saudi which is the birth place of Islam without any excuse. Mohammed migrated from mecca to Medina for multiple different reasons , one of the major reason for moving is the Mecca was hostile for him for some period of time.

FYI: for any ignorant , fool , thinks Arabs and Muslims , are the same, check again, Islam is not a race , it is a religion, not all Arabs Muslims, not all Muslims are Arabs, just like not all christians , are white , in fact in Indonesia, there are , 100 million Muslims alone, so check your fangs , before you use your , tongue .

Canada is a Christian country and the muslim community must denounce Islam and be Canadain or leave. No one wants this country to look like Europe. There are good muslims and you can tell who they are. They are the ones that want to fit in to Canadas values. I would gladly protect any muslim that wishes to truely become a Canadian. Guess who I would have to protect them from? It is not Canadians they fear but muslims.

Muslims are just afraid of us knowing the truth about them so want to stop free speech , calling it hate speech when it is the truth and not a lie. Read the quaran and see for yourself, the book deserves no respect nor it's author. I read it right through and it doesn't bring people together but is an intolerant ideal formed by their dictator with low morals and no respect of non Muslims. They just listen to themselves and no one else and think they are right about everything. If they read the book right through like I did, they would see it is not worthy to be quoted or lived by such medival fairy tales. They will never let your country have peace, because they have no peace in their own heart. It's always they will push to have their way and you can just get out of their way or they will kill you.

First they took you weapons. are now doing a satanic coven! and the same, in Britain, Australia ... everywhere! Only the United States they rose up in the throat! fight! understand that the liberal anti-fascists, simply fascists worse! Fascists want like majesty of the white race (as Muslim fascists want their diabolical domination of religion) and the fuck liberal simply degenerates who, together with all of us are trying to drown

Follow our laws & traditions or GET OUT!! Don't expect us to follow your laws & traditions when we go to your countries!! When people go to an islamic country they are expected to follow the islamic laws (eg. women are expected to wear a table cloth on their head - ludicrous!!). Yet the same is NOT respected for American laws - muslims do NOT respect our traditions or they would take off the bed sheets & table cloths while they are in our countries (as we wear them for you in yours). It's only fair. If you don't like it then go back to your country and bring your creepy traditions with you. Women walking around in America with bed sheets look CREEPY and oppressed, whether you say you want to wear your table cloth or not, you still look OUT OF PLACE and MAKE yourself a minority. You segregate YOURSELVES. America is NOT interested in becoming a muslim country at ALL!!!! Follow our laws & traditions or GET OUT or don't expect us to follow your laws & traditions when we go to your countries!!

I am czech, we relatively recently (1989) get rid of totalitarian communists here.I just do not get how is it possible that Canada or Muslims in general are so welcoming to the totalitarian systems - where women are forced to cover the faces. I mean - why the feminists or free thinkers are defending some practice, which is obviously against women and 99% of women wearing it worldwide are forced to do so by men - in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran. Where is the liberalism and western values gone in Canada ? This is pure nonsense to present it like a freedom. It just reminds me of communists in France/Italy or elsewhere during cold war..... thousands/milions of people have died in the same time in USSR and in the meantim those idiots have embraced marxism in Paris/Rome or elswhere..... disgusting morality in my opinion. Completely wrong attitude. This issue is quite clear to anybody... islam and it's form taken in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere has nothing to do with western values neither with women rights.... wake up.

The joke is women like these who DO cover up and behave modestly ARE being raped in broad daylight throughout the Muslim and Arabic world.....

muslims. want to live in western countries and don't like our culture? get the fuck out!

These muslims don't like the truth and that's what they're afraid of. why don't they ask if they understand why there is an anti muslim sentiment.

All people who do not assimilate must be deported. As well as just stop immigration of Muslims all together. We are at full war. The people who controlled our countries back in WW2 understood that the citizens were number one priority and stopped all immigration of any ethnic background like Germans and Japanese. \n\nBut not all citizens were protected like the Japanese Canadians Americans and so on. The governments back then were very strict and careful. And did they have as much deaths of terrorism? No they did not!\n\nIslamic ideology is one of the most sickest and most anti-freedom things you can find anywhere. And its not a religion of peace. The peaceful majority are irrelevant.

why are white people acting like sharia law is the worst set of laws they ever heard of lol have they forgotten black codes have they forgotten Jim Crow, apartheid the real reason they are upset is because they want to be the only race to be able to treat other people like shit sharia law don't got shit on nor will ever have a body count as high as some of the laws made by white people period I can't believe all this bitch in is coming from the race that put Jesus Christ on the cross and happily blamed the Jews for it sure the Jews played their part but it was the Romans who killed him so for all these white people acting like Muslims are just the worst type of human look in the fucking mirror ok

Anti islamic attitudes growing all across the world, every country dissenting at their presence, they atill insist they are of peace, they are demanding 6bn people are wrong, its time to enclose them in the middle east, think like a muslim? Go live with them, not wanted here

This is the same repulsive lunacy that has kept the middle east in a state of ruin and ignorance.\nFuck them all off, they are insane and dangerous. A bunch of mad cunts. With a holy book of sacred hate.\nInstruction to kill all non muslims, and lie about everything.\nIf you dare criticize it they will cry like babies and then kill you.

I don't want Islam in my country, not because I hate them but because religions have their own set of moral principles and beliefs, Islam is clearly not compatible to our secular system. I'm not religious myself and I live in the west coast where there are few muslims, but just based from the discussions I've had with transfer students that come to my university I already don't like what I hear. They were nice, kind of, but all of them had backwards ideas. If you need a better reason to be against it, simply read the first few pages from the Quran, it is deplorable, more so then the bible. \n\nIf they want to integrate, their beliefs need to be reformed like Christians have centuries ago.

I'm confused about the like bar and also worried. Are there dislikes because people hate Jihadist Muslims, or those dislikes Jihadist Muslims?

they have created this back lash you can not blame the rest of society for there concern. they have not been a large muslim population denouncing terrorist groups you can not act like a victim without address why society has there concerns

I am sure the Canadian govt. knows what is BEST for Canada or they would of NOT let them in , in the first place.  Maybe the Canadians love muslims.  I mean why would you let people in you don't like,  it don't make sense.  I think the Canadians love muslims.  I think Europe loves muslims. IF you don't like them, why do they all come pouring into your country. I think they all love muslims. Why would the queen and gov let these people into the country if the people didn't like muslims.  I don't think the queen or govts would do this without the peoples conscent.  I am sure the queen and gov will continue to do what is BEST for the peoples.  The queen is to be trusted. She is royalty.

I wish the leftist liberals would give more support to the reformist muslims like the woman in this video.

What merkels, olands, harpers and their likes believe in? That muslims will turn into civilized germans, french, canadians? What will happen is that Germany, France, Britain, Canada will be turned into syria with your own hands.

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

hiding your face is like a criminal, fucking culture, tnx God that you created me not muslim

I get discriminated & profiled a lot because, I look Mexican & Americans treat me that I am Hispanic, but I am Middle Eastern & I don't cover my hair or dress like Muslim women they get shocked when I tell them I am a Muslim.. They said I don't look Muslims, how does a Muslim people look like? Being a Muslims is a religion, not a race.

The Wahhabi Saudi Islam ,,,this niqab is forbidden in schools and government building in secular Muslim countries,,,the problem this Wahhabi Saudi orthodox Islam is corrupting the Muslim communities,,,this guys bring Arabs tradition and it's not in religion,,,and most of this Wahhabi Muslims are teaching hate against any other religions or even against the other Muslim sects like Sufi ,Shia ,ahmadiya,,,,,all secular Muslims hate when they see this long bear religious and women with burka ,,,it's like in middle age century ,just one world to this fanatic Wahhabi ,if you don't like the Canadian values why you are here ,you can go to Saudi Arabia or Pakistan ,and you can live like salve .

I just don't want to see herds of screaming idiots marching through the streets with signs saying that I and my countrymen should die for the crime of not being like them, or because they chose to be violently offended over some triviality or perceived slight.  How many of these people actually become members of our society?  And how many just live off the dole while they demand more and more.  Why aren't these muslims being taken in by other muslim nations?
