It's winter, i walk into town along a slush covered road, down a long hill - a woman struggles uphill carrying several bags of shopping - wearing a full burqa..the wind is almost blowing her backwards and she is struggling - my thoughts are 'cumbersome outfit for this climate'. i walk past the local synagogue, some Hassidic men are chatting outside most have one hand on their head, one man is picking his hat up and brushing slush off from it - my thoughts are 'im glad im wearing an elasticated beanie in this wind'\nlater on i walk past my local nightclub and there is a long line of young girls wearing very short skirts, high heels and sleeveless tops - with matching blue skin, my thoughts are twofold, first - hypothermia someone should tell them, second is -fashion, it may look cool in Naples, but this far north - in winter?...ridiculous.\npoint is, people wear clothing for various reasons, religious, cultural, social or just comfort. they dont choose to wear items because they desire to intimidate, but because it appeals to them, or their sense of self or cultural or religious identity.\nwe should respect that.\nif a piece of clothing intimidates or frightens you so much, you may have some deep psychological issues.

Trudeau is a MURDERER! VOTE ANDREW SCHEER AND GET TRUDEAU OUT!!!!!!!! MUSLIMS FRIGHTENED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF CANADIANS WHEN TRUDEAU BROUGHT THIS LOT IN! NOW THE TABLES ARE TURNED THEY GAVE THE NERVE TO BE WORRIED!!!!!!! THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN LET IN. CANADA IS NOT THE SAME COUNTRY ANYMORE!!!!! Why not live in a Muslim country where their religion and culture is theirs!!!!!!!! In a muslim country Christian's would not be allowed to practice their religion or wear their own clothing! Bulldust the women have to cover their faces as their MEN INSIST they look unattractive to men outside the home!! It is a chauvinistic religion and men do not accept women as equals and are expected to be subservient!

More I see these types of videos more I get frightened. Oh god think what they will do when they have 60, 70% majority population.

I was so scared and frightened when I first saw Muslim that person is covered with black attire and I see only eyes, one man is accompanied with long beard saying angrily side side for lady, that is 12yrs ago.

Thanks CBC for allowing Asha Tomlinson to work on this video. This is for all Canadians, but most for Black Canadians in Eastern Canada. Cities like Edmonton in particular should be highlighted in this type of videos for their stand on racism. Most cities in Canada are becoming more progressive on racial issues, but Edmonton remains a frightening place for Black people. My message to Blacks in Western Canada is that nothing will change without a challenge. We must stop gossiping about how we are treated and let expose this disease.

As an employer, there is nothing more frightening then calling someone from a resume, when you have NO CLUE how to pronounce their name. Very awkward. And a lot of it could really be that simple.

*Time is running out! Read the Book of Truth and prepare for The Warning, the Illumination of Conscience. Christ Time which is entwined with the Divine Will of God the Father is almost upon us. The Warning will purify God’s children in preparation for Christ's Second Coming. Seek redemption for your sins with a purity of heart, purify your souls through fasting, prayer and penance. This will help ease your suffering of penance at The Warning. This is frightening for many and very difficult to digest. Yet it is the Truth. The more people that are forewarned of this event, the more souls will be saved. For those who find difficulty with the Truth given to you now through God's final end time prophet, His 7th Messenger, you must ask God for the Gift of the Holy Spirit before you can open your ears to hear His Voice to the Truth of His Holy Word and to the instructions that He gives us so that you can have Eternal Life. There are many revelations now being imparted to us so that we know how to prepare ourselves properly. Relish the Gift of prophecy from God. Don’t reject it and don't allow the devil to plant doubts in your mind. Ignore this warning from Heaven and you will suffer more than is necessary. The time for the end times draws very close now. Prepare now for this Great Event. Pray for God’s Mercy. Prepare to face God for soon the skies will explode, split and the Fire of the Holy Spirit will be upon us all!   The BOOK of TRUTH ~ Online  ~  My BOOK of TRUTH ~ Online with Select Language  ~  ((The abundance of every possible Gift, including miracles from Heaven has now been manifested in the BOOK of TRUTH for the good of all – The Book promised to the whole of humanity for these end times. Accept it with a gracious heart and give thanks to God for one of the last Gifts from Heaven before the Great Day.))*

it is from the middle ages of course it frightens people

There is so much negativism associated with Islam and all Muslims get tarred with the same brush. They frighten us. Their dress is alien to us. ISIL and other groups do unspeakable things in the name of their religion. Their religion is too demanding. Christianity and other religions can adjust to scientific facts. We KNOW the world is round and there are other worlds, so far unpopulated, out there. Islam seems to demand adherence to its core beliefs written centuries ago and makes no concessions to emerging facts. Religion is the main influence in the life of Muslims and their Imams seem to have a lot to do with governance and education, instead of the separation of church and state to which we are used. If you come to Canada to live, then adjust to our values or leave, please. This doesn't mean that you have to stop attending a mosque but please discontinue the scary body coverings and start treating your women as equals, not chattels. Even some women will argue with that last bit, but why does a woman have to cover up and a man does not? This is NOT equality.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. In Saudi Arabia, non-muslims have to wear the hijab. So if Muslims plan to stay in Western countries, they have to unveil just like every other Western woman. Besides, you don't know if it is a man or a woman in burquah and it's frightening. They talk about women in Islam wearing the hijab, but how many of them really pracitise true Islam. Why are not wanting to go to Saudi Arabia. Double standards - they want the Western lifestyle and money and not the Saudi Arabian lifestyle. No other religious group flaunt their religion like the Muslims.

I am a Muslim and what these people doing is WRONG , from where they learned this??? In an Islamic country you have no right to do this : first you d'ont represent the government,secondly this way you make people have wrong ideas about your religion , not even close to an advice !!! Please stop doing these shamefull acts and learn how to be an example for those who d'ont know you. If it is very dificult for you to live there : go elsewhere may be another country where you may feel better . Islam is innocent from these ways of behaviour . Live in peace with all the world is Islam and frightening people will get you nowhere but to troubles.
