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.

they choose to wear the niqab because they will get beaten , so they choose to wear it !

It be better if the face was not covered. Its creates undo fear. It creates security issues. It creates issues with ID. We live in a time of hyper sensitivity to any reference to men and women being different. Islam doesn't bend to social trends, and this upsets people. I just wish feminist and politians would let women choose for themselves. I wish people who passionately oppose Islam would equally try to understand Islam.

Can you see any of those women working at any factory with machinery. So they automatically choose not to work in any factory. Same with the men with beards that can't work as firemen because the masks won't fit right.

People should be free to rent, or not rent, their private property to whoever they please using whatever criteria they choose. This program is intentionally misleading and is disingenuous. Race and ethnicity is one of many factors that can be used as a legitimate predictor of a person's behavior as a tenant. Not by any means the only factor, and certainly not unerringly accurate, but not irrelevant either. Leftist multi-cultural tripe.

Nobody chooses subjugation, but they can be unwittingly manipulated into it. Take for example if you will the staggering number of women who get into, and stay in long term abusive relationships, there is a level of dependence that comes with it, and it seems like the women of Islam/Muslim faith are just as enthralled in it. Just like these women here, so many women who are regularly abused by the men they think they love, but will defend what they have as if to say they can't do any better, and their need for it is too great for them to see anything beyond what they're made to think, say, or do. I truly believe that people throughout the world that are fortunate enough to live in a free country better pay attention to who they let in, because if they keep allowing themselves to be taken over, one day soon they may find themselves outnumbered by a people who don't share in their values, and will take the freedoms they once took for granted.

Please make video on choosing canada for m. Tech is best or worst?

People are concerned because most individuals who practice Islam are unable to assimilate into western society, and accept the rules and laws of the country in which they live! Their religion and religious beliefs are more impotent to them. But such a thing can also be said for any other overly religious individual who takes their religion to seriously! There is nothing wrong with immigrating somewhere and taking your culture with you, but you also need to learn to adapt and evolve to the country and society you choose to live in!

What a pile of propaganda. No other culture on earth goes in to work dressed as a priest. Or a witch. Or the Ku klux clan etc. This is not in the Quaran, it is a cultural practice made to enslave woman and keep servant. They teach in our universities it is fine to mate with a three year old and a camel. So do you think this silly mask would help slow down interest? . Since no one else can at work wear such things then they cannot either. Like harper said do on your own time and place. They are no more important than anyone else. Could care less what they choose to wear, that is the point they should not have the right to enforce their rules in government places. Nor pray in schools or work or any place. Simply the same rules for all. Your employer does not allow you to come in dressed as the black panthers. Or like this or that. They may have particular dress codes. Enough of cater to them they removed this right in Denmark and now all get along much better due to they are not wearing it to work or on streets to annoy people

I think that even if you are Canadian or American or British or whatever and you convert or you become Muslim you should be deported to a Muslim country and go live there your citizenship should be stripped from you and you should be deported to whatever Middle Eastern country you so choose but it won't be in western civilization if your woman you want to wear hijab you go do it in it Middle Eastern country not here when everybody sick it's Fed Up and everybody stands up against you this will be a very short-lived for all you Muslim will go bye-bye

Lol! Islam is NOT the fastest growing religion in Canada. It only has increased in number because of how many Muslims the government is allowing to move here. Choose your words more carefully.

You're the most ignorant peoples whites supremacists. Islam present Merry Mother of Jesus. Hijab is not started by Muslims.. muslims are more Christians than the Christians.. if women choose to go necked she's free and her choice then woman with hijab have same rights to... stop racists Islamophobia ????

Hi, let England not show too much of sympathy towards muslims..... this race doesn't deserve any sympathy from Christians........ The American people are wise enough to choose Trump.......we appreciate America, the American people and it's President Trump......

Poor sikh guy. \nEither people choose to be ignorant in 2019 or someone is redirecting something ...

These uk Muslims get on my nerves? uk government choose between sharia law or the great Britain?? ??!!!

maybe he only offered the 2nd guy one apartment cause he just offered 2 to the other guy and he didn’t know what the guy was gonna choose so he didn’t wanna tell him an offer he couldn’t get

A Muslim woman can't choose what to wear after having been indoctrinated from an early age.

I would sit on my door step, drinking ale, with my dogs, in front of my union jack painted door. Because this is England, and i would be doing NOTHING illegal. But saying anything against being culturally enriched like this, labels you a nazi, facist, far right, whatever. This sort of immigration was prescribed for us, we weren't asked if we wanted it, just had it dumped on us, by people who live far away from such environments, and would never choose to live among us. Why do you think brexit happened!? Will know one address the elephant in the room? ask anyone who voted to leave the EU and a part of the reason, if not the whole reason was immigration! The nation spoke, is speaking, and you just wont listen. FFS

If someone chooses to use race and ethnicity as a basis for evaluating a potential tenant, or as a factor in eliciting suspicion about a potential shoplifter, that's their decision. Nothing wrong with it.

Racism is bad because you can't choose your race. If you speak your native language in the country you immigrated to or wear your native country's traditional clothing that is definitely your choice. If you don't assimilate, you're just a leech taking advantage of the economy of a successful country.

What kind of “test “ is this it litteraly just has you choose who’s black and white wtf lmao

Why are you choose Canada over Australia

The burka that these so call women wear. Are very un Canadian. There is nothing Canadian about it. I would not believe anything that they say about being attacked. Too many b.s.ers on this, saying they have been attacked. It's a known fact that they lie about it. I will never ever help one if she is in distress either. Sorry but if you can't show your face then you aren't worth me fighting to save. Funny though every country these people go to, they create division and stress, fear and anger. No other political religion of this era does that. Why is it that these muslims don't choose to stay in any muslim countries (50plus) in the world. But continue to go to western countries. They certainly don't like to fit in. They seem to change the rules of Western countries to fit their narratives and agendas. And where ever they do go problems follow. Never seen this before with any other human race. That's probably a big reason why our forefathers never let them into the country to begin with. My thoughts only. Peace out.

Don't tell me. He came to U.S illegally. You had T.P.S. for how long? No sympathy. You could've become a citizen, learned the language. You choose not to. Your choice. Sounds like a personal problem. I feel sorry for his family, though.

Why don't you show the open racisim toward whites ? It's everywhere .. \n\nBc that would throw off your narrative now wouldn't it .. We are all discriminated against.. The only thing that sets us apart as people is that some of us choose to feel victimized their whole life while others let it roll off their back and keep their head high .. Stop being victims .. You have controll of your own lives . Don't let race baiting consume you ..

Muslim men drink all night unless it's Ramadan they most give up 30 days\nMy old medical driver is Muslim from Sudan the entire fleet of drivers are Muslim he drove me 7 days a week for 2 yrs ny6 friend for 6 yrs. He is a friend. But knows I dont except his religion when it comes to him having to choose if this keeps up

Madness is to choose to denigrate yourself and subject yourself to servitude.

No one chooses to cover your whole head . Australia gets over 45 Celsius, no one is choosing to wear one then

The biggest myth: I choose to wear it ??

If you want to be an American then do not try to force anti-American culture on America.\nLearn to support our community, or do not choose to live here.\nCan you imagine an American immigrating to any other country and force acceptance \nof their anti-culture ways.\nIf we Americans keep on accepting certain kinds of people into our home who aim to change\nour ways, it is we who will be displaced in disgrace.\nGodspeed

Who hasn't been watched in a store? They will indeed watch you if you stay in one area too long, look around too long, have different types of bags, have your coats thrown over items in a basket, etc. Anyone can make themselves be watched just by their own behaviours. But I agree that landlords should be able to choose the tenants they want. They take great risks renting and it should be their right. I believe everyone racially profiles and they also profile white people against other whites, depending how they look. Even animals do that sometimes it appears.\n\nAnybody like the CBC, Oprah, or anyone who wants can make it appear that certain groups are biased against as well, but rarely will those people do surveys on store clerks who experience reverse discrimination very often themselves.

Religious Bondage or Cultural bondage? I choose freedom, because my religion and culture does not put me in bondage.

Fastest growing religion to practice the ways of Mohamad ... Basic reasoning how come your Allah choose \na sinful man as his messenger. Read about Mohamad, about his life and compare his life with Jesus. Be\nguided by the truth.... you have to accept the truth about Mohamad sinful life.

Same everywhere. Why do muslim Asians choose to live in Western societies. Is this a Muslim Brotherhood take over of the West? What is going on? This is just too weird to let it go by. We are being duped. If ISIS is defeated isn't it time refugees went home? Otherwise it is colonization by sneaky methods. True or false?

Why Muslims dont choose, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Muscat, Kuwait Bahrain as their work and stay destination. \nBecause these contry wont accept you. Wont give you Permanent Residency. You have to come back to your own mother land. Why do they do so, because they know outsider come and spoil the country

Whatever your religion,if you choose to commit crime its your fault not religion fault..parents should teach their child to respect everyone so that have peace on earth..when I wear hijab everytime I go out I feel safe from the predator

Go home!!! Didn't bother to become a US citizen for 15 years, didn't bother to learn English, then came to Canada hoping we'll welcome him with open arms and a nice free house to live in. Piss off, maybe in your next life you'll try harder to be a legitimate citizen in the country you choose to live.

to anyone who is watching this dont take the bad stuff they r saying abt muslim women seriusly. you can really tell that the reporter is trying to make it look like muslim women r opressed. however thats a bunch of bull. how do i know? because im a muslim girl myself and i choose to cover my hair. its a CHOICE. stop tryna make it seem like an evil cult just chill. myob fr!!! focus on your own life its annoying

5:30 LOL, in Islam women are given a higher status... BS!!!! Your words or testimony is worth half, you are just property and not free to choose, you are a lesser human in the eyes of your religion!

They have free speech in western country is very lucky, but talking some none sense. Ask more respect need to learn western culture where they living. K... is brain waste......? In there birth country's female Muslim not allow to face to face infront men or do anything without Muslim rules restricted.. which country's better life lady.....western treated very one the same, doesn't matter what you are & where you come from. Free to chose your Religions. That your choose your cultural Islamic / Muslim. But do not Fanatics... positive & negative which one you chose....? Good ways brighter directions...... stand up for rights

These women who have a dress code that basically shuts them out of the employment market should not be eligible for welfare. They choose to wear clothes that make it impossible to work and pay taxes. I dont want to support them. Everyone else has to dress apropriately for work and employment.

Choosing to wear a burka in an western country u show disrespect for the culture of the country accepted you here..is confirmation that u do not want to integrate in our society..and u want to keep these primitive culture and beliefs alieve ...and please stop complaining of being bullied...you had a choice when you decided to come here...you are bullied because you show no intension of being one of us..because u show weakness in front of the male of family who refuse to understands this is a democratic country..I am a woman and I feel ashamed by u to say u represent women gender...I feel insulted and all I can do is to ignore you and your existence...

I'm suppose to feel bad for him???? He chose to do what he did. He should take accountability and responsibility for his choices. He chooses to stay ILLEGAL. No man is above the law and if you are not under the jurisdiction of that law because you are illegal, I am sorry, you get caught, you get deported.

I always don't get an Answer to my question to Muslims that Why do Muslims choose to Migrate to Christian non believing Democratic countries.

If they feel there is a sentiment of a war between the West and Islam. Why do Muslims choose to live in the West? I really don't understand it.

Their clothing covers the marks caused by their husbands beating them, yup they choose to wear that garb, I am sure they did..

I'll wear a balaclava around and tell people its so they can't see my face.\nThen get arrested for choosing to wear it.\nDouble standards and laws for one and not for the other must stop.

free to choose ..well? we need them to find a job! and how do they do that when they look like a black post box. yet they are happy to troop to our hospitals like blind bats demanding to be treated by a female doctor who is in work! These lot will always live on state handout coz they are educated in islamic studies and useless to the system. Totally unemployable in any sector hooded. Wouldnt serve me in any industry thanks

The left in America has no idea how nice America is and can be. Doesn’t Canada pick and choose legal immigrants much more harshly than the US, as well? As in, college educations get quicker status than an unskilled person attempting to gain citizenship?

Putting differences aside no one chooses as a child where they are born, sometimes were fortunate to be born in a Country that gives us opportunities that other countries can’t so don’t judge just consider yourself fortunate.
