If you are forced to wear it, you are forced to be honoured. Does honour come from the fear of other men’s thoughts?

These women are so brainwashed and intimidated they cannot accept the oppression of women in this religion. That they have half brain, they would not go to heaven, the husbands are allowed to beat them etc. Would not make them change their mind because in many cases it means death. They live in fear. Poor souls!

Im a Muslim Canadian, and this is my home. A phobia is an irrational fear, so tell me what have the Muslims in Toronto done to you guys to deserve this kind of hate? Dont talk to me about the war torn nations of MIddle East, talk to me about the Muslims of Toronto!

“Islamaphobia” doesn’t exist.\nA phobia is an irrational fear ~ there’s nothing irrational about legitimate concern that tense, volatile, super-sensitive people whose deity enforces violence makes perfect sense. Wise up!

If you feel so pressure and fear, go to any muslim country. But Nooooooo

Always playing the GUILT card...and Y not. Add the Y and they are GUILTY of world strife. They fear about their safety? Really? Must be a muslim phobia.

This is the best journalistic approach I've seen on this matter so far. Yet it still lacks a deepening on the fact that racism and other kinds of discrimination are not exclusively practiced by white people. Had the same experiments been performed in places where other ethnic or cultural groups are the majority, the results most probably would evidence their biases in favor of their own pairs. This evidences that there is an inherent component in discriminatory behavior that goes well beyond of an evil mindset. It’s clear that in general people tend to better identify with those that look like themselves and fear those who don’t. This has been imprinted in our minds all along our species evolution. Could we change that? Yes. Should we change it? Definitely. But it’ll not work if these subtleties are not accounted for and we oversimplify the matter by just pointing fingers to a specific group as the villain.

Sooo you're an illegal immigrant in the us, you then move to Canada, they ask you to show up with your papers, you run away in fear of behing deported and then, you become an illigal immigrant in Canada and you think all of this in not fair on you???????? How about you follow that law for once in your life?

So much hatred in the comment sections \nWho should fear fore his life in Canada or in some western countries..muslims or non Muslims.

No women in Islam like freedom from their slavish existence. They are buried top to bottom with clothes, and lead a life like living corps. They fear men, especially the men in their home. Religious persecution starts from their home.

Iam worried for my Canada and Iam hopeless for the future. Your greedy, selfish, and corruption culture is my biggest fear.

todays only racists make up about 99% of the left side because they fear trump will keep america the greatest country and democrats are traitors and teaming up with china to take over america wake up people!

If the Muslims are living in fear in Canada please let them go back to where they came from thank God my parents left the so called religion of peace even before I was born.

So which Government officials is going to make sure that this lady can be assured saftey! It's very obvious that this lady is fearing for her life! The crazy guy is not around for now. However, whose to say that someone out there won't finish what he started. Edmonton police should be ashamed of themselves. WHY COME THE NEXT DAY!

He went to the US first, then out of fear of being deported by Trump he fled to Canada. 15 years in the US makes his refuge claim a little lame. Sorry!

People don’t understand the reasons why people flee their home countries in the first place. They’re seeking refuge from public threats that their governments have failed countless time to crack down on. My grandparents and my own mother came here from Mexico illegally, but they eventually became naturalized US citizens through hard work, hope and determination. They left because of the rampant crime and violence taking place in the streets of Monterrey, Nuevo León. I was born here in this country in 2003, by sheer fortune alone. But that couldn’t have been possible if my family didn’t sacrifice all they had, just to be able to feel safe. It’s not lack of security, it’s lack of compassion and being able to understand what other humans go through. Fear-mongering and generalization of a certain group is atrocious, and should by no means be tolerated. Only through fair evaluation and hard work should a person be judged.

Why was this guy hiding in Buffalo? Was the US going to deport him? So he is lucky to be in Canada. Obviously, he did not immigrate from El Salvador because of personal fear but to take advantage of the money he could make in the US. That is not a good enough reason to be allowed into the US or Canada. Sorry, we can not support everyone in the whole world. If your country is bad stay there and fix it.

Racism is running rampant and its fueled by the BLM and fear that the Govt. is mongering to its people! Turdeau needs to go! One Trillion $$$ in debt and rising!

This man is low live loser. Don’t be afraid, they want you to live in fear.

Good neighbor, anyone who is a visible minority shouldn't feel fear in their home nor Canada in general. It sickens me to see this behavior taking place here.

If they our and the govt is still letting planes in from china , in from virus hot spots, other countries it's not being prejudice worrying about catching co vid , getting sick may be dying , the govt , the tv media it's there fault they have put so much fear into the population , plus on CBC , global a infectious disease expert said 15 percent of the cases were from international essential travelers in two months 270 came to Canada, example say 20 confirm 3 our from international essential tavelers , about mask, how come cases our going up as soon as they make people ware mask, grocery stores, all workers and people keep touching them , letting them down for a second to catch there breath,, scratching there face , now it's contaminated , it's the same with the whole country , carry alcohol and a running water, carrying a sink around all the time to be 100 percent safe from wearing mask.\n, in hospital medical professional , even touch there mask , face too , get contaminated ,so how do you think 2 years and above can have that kind of control. The insanity .\nJesus Christ is the way truth and life ?❤️ peace.

Of course theres racism here.\nOf course police act in terrible ways.\nOf course no one wants to talk about it... \n\nAnd no, its not as bad as it is in the states... but it exists.\nWe militarize our police.. mostly from fear.. but also because its “good politics” to say “we increased policing”\n\nNo, its not right.\n\nCall it out.\nNot sometimes..every time. Not if its your race being afflicted.. for any race. Every time.\n\nIt DOES take time... it will not happen overnight. Especially if we want it to not come BACK.. which it seems to.\n\nTeach your kids. To stand up for themselves.. and for others.\nEspecially for others. Education starts at home. Dont trust schools or others to do what’s right... not until YOU do it too.\n\nSmall, steady steps will get us there faster than huge, resisted ones.\nRemember that.\nWhen a small step is taken, doesnt matter by who.. support it. Make the ones who took it feel it was WORTH TAKING... then watch how eager they are to take the next one.\n\nTrain them like a dog. One step at a time, with constant “atta boy”’s and treats.. and one day, they will just do as they should.. because its right? Because they want the pat on the head?\nDoesnt matter why, so long as they keep taking steps.\n\nWhen they take a step and everyone complains “its not enough” or “you dont really care”... why would they do it again?\n\nReward those small steps.. pat em on the head.. and they WILL do it again.\nPunish those steps, by complaining about it, because it didn’t solve everything at once?\n\nConditions them not to bother trying.

Racism is often mistaken for fear of being defected by other ethnic groups.

Here’s the media stoking fears of racism again. Keep up the separation of society you disgusting trolls!

I'm a white older woman who refuses to dress up on my days off from work. I get followed around stores. I am afraid to leave a store for fear of being followed. I always have to show my receipts. I have been yelled at by young males of any background because I refuse to speed while driving. I was called a crazy drunk while crossing a parking lot. People seem to be being raised with very poor manners and a lack of respect for others. There is racism in every race or racial biases in every race. We all need to remember we are all actually the same race. It's called the human race. Remember we are all human beings and deserve to all be treated as such.\nWe are all human beings with plenty to offer each other. A new friendship, a wonderful meal, smiles, wisdom, wonderful stories, knowledge etc. I know I am racially profiled by others as well and wish it just wasn't there. Apparently because I'm white I believe I am first whatever that means. It is so much more comfortable when there are no seams. Love to yall

We are Christians or we was Christians this once proud nation was ruled by kings and the kings followed god and we were a nation of strength and power and all acknowledged this and respected and feared us but look now we’ve invited this in and made its bed and fed it and gave it money and for what someone tell me what! What was it all for?

People fear what they don't understand.

People fear what they don't understand.

Any form of extremism or hatred is not allowed in Islam... If someone promotes extremism or hatred ,he cannot be a representative of Islam ... Pls don't insult jenuin god fearing moderate muslims by calling these people muslims....

The first time i travelled across Canada on a road trip, heading west, going town to town along the TransCanada Hiway, i choose a black friend to accompany me. I choose him because he was really easy to get along with and i knew he was an auto mechanics enthusiast, which, as it turned out came in handy on the trip. We were on the road for a few months. I grew up in a city in a little multicultural bubble of liberalism and was taught as a child not to judge others based on skin colour or sex; to be respectful towards people of all ilks and ethnicities. The thing is, i was young enough to not really realize that i was in a bubble. As we travelled though parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta, where there are few to no blacks in many towns, i began to realize that Canada is quite racist in the outback and little towns mid country. I was surprised and actually angered by it. My friend took it in stride however. For example, i was meeting people, getting invited home for dinner and meet the wife and kids sort of thing, and my friend couldn't even get a conversation going with most people, they just totally ignored him and gave him a wide berth. I know underlying all of that is just the fear of an unknown quantity and the fact that a lot of Canadians watch American news sometimes which tends to be chock full of black in gang wars, shooting each other and committing violent crime so they get a false view of black culture because the news at that time rarely showed blacks unless they were committing a crime.

18:37: “Sometimes you just have to tolerate that behaviour a little bit.”\nBut why should people “tolerate it” weren’t we all taught the same lessons in kindergarten too speak up when someone was treating ourselves or other unfairly? I truly do not understand this sentence. It’s said by a white person so maybe he just isn’t getting it. I understand that It’s not easy to put yourself in someone else shoes, but come on man. Don’t tell people of colour to “just tolerate it” in fear of coming off as a SJW. That’s how the bullies win. Buzzwords can’t hurt you but racial profiling dose and has.

Why should only non muslim remain in fear from muslims. Why not the other way round.

Glad to see organizations like the black fathers and many that were not part of this documentary. I also want more ppl to think about families who have fathers that are emotionally unavailable/ are workaholics or are just puppet dads. This is often overlooked. There are females who stay with deadbeat males out of fear of societal shaming/ fear of being along and decide to stay even though the guy doesn't provide any support... I'm other words, males who create families but are not emotionally there so to say, that in many ways can be super problematic and disastrous for the family dynamic especially for the women and the children.

At the root of any and all racism is the emotion of fear

Islamaphobia is a made up word, phobia is an irrational fear, the fear of Islam is completely rational.

Fear ??? Or is Harper speaking the truth

When there is no fear of ever getting caught this is the screwing the good people get.\nALL Western Govts act STUPID but they are not. They are lazy and corrupt.\nThese people wouldtn't dare do this kind of stuff in Asia or the Middle East.

Why am I not SURPRISED.....they will buddy with you mostly due to fear(European), The others will buddy up to you and consider themselves just like us. Because, overall they’re a minority to. But, rather be accepted by the Europeans. And, of course the Black guy who is so over racism due to it impacting his/her life in abundance for centuries. They just want to be fair and be accepted.

These ignorant Canadians fear and attack blacks but freely encourage Muslim settlements. Can't wait for them to taste Muslim medicine. They come in peace pretext but after you'll feel their violence and extremism.

Wherever they go they sow discord, fear and suspicion. They’re never happy no matter where on the globe that land.

I don't want to sound communal.I respect all religions. But my belief is that Islam has justified violence, forced conversions, jihad that is war, distinction between Muslims and non Muslims and that Islam does not allow integration of Muslims into other cultures. Said that non_ Muslims have a reason to fear Muslims. The fear of Islam is not unfounded. So it is upto the Muslims to look inward and address these issues and build up a dialogue with the non_muslims

U dont want us to fear u stop killing us

Im surprised Canada allowed this to get this far. Anyone covering themselves up is very suspicious. Muslims need to stop pushing their fake religion into mainstream. U don’t see Christians wearing robes to work. The Muslim fake religion is based on nothing real, my Muslim friend said. Jesus was a real person. There is no real basis to their religion. If I see someone covered up, I do not shop at that store for fear of a shootout. Any lunatic can be under scarves in banks, Churches or schools. In this chaotic world which Muslims have contributed a lot to, we do not need to be covering ourselves up, especially suppressed women from archaic views made by man, not God.

Muslims are in fear in Canada! Very bad. But there is an easy solution. Leave Canada. Let live others the way they are willing to ...... . There are dozens of rich, even very rich Islamic and Muslim countries, settle there, problem solved.

98% of comments: have much fear from islam...

That’s hilarious ?. The prime minister is creating fear in the Muslim community. Islam is all about fear and terror. The Koran teaches killing and beheading of non believers for god sake!!!

Asylum from what? What makes anyone think an illegal path ends with unicorns and balloons? It's the bleeding heart liberals who follow their feelings instead of the facts. Taking away a persons ability to defend themselves allows thieves and murderers to do their deeds without fear. Go back to your murderous countries and fight back. Take up arms and be a man for your own country. You are a stupid man to put your children through this.

WHAT ABOUT THE FEAR OF THE EUROPEAN CULTURE- PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED THERE ALL THEIR LIVES TO BE LITERALLY REPLACED WITH A TOTALLY DIFFERENT GROUP OF PEOPLE - SO MUCH SO THAT THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS ARE RUN OUT. HOW ARE THE ORIGINAL RESIDENTS SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY ABOUT THAT???

♥️ thank you for vids like this, bring more awareness and reminding ppl to stand up for those who cant for the fear of what might happen to them.

This women at the end of the video is a lier, jihad isn't the sixth pillar of islam, there's only 5 and jihad isn't one of them even children know that, and even when the women herself said she want to wear niqab because it's her choice and it makes her feel closer to her faith the other women said it's not her choice and hellfire nonsense, did she ask you to be her representative or did you read her mind?! such hypocrisy, you can easily search on youtube on women convert and how they feel wearing hijab or niqab, and she fears for her life without mentioning any threats from the other side whatsoever, lies hypocrisy and paranoia, this video is biased Islamophobic
