What can you expect to muslims…they go to other countries for better living but they will force the communities there to their culture and beliefs…

The Hasidic and other groups of Orthodox Jews are known for enforcing their own Halakha laws in their communities but when a Muslim does so, it’s bad?

I came here 20 years ago from south asia. got my master's degree from Mcgill, started a business with my husband. We are doing well, working hard and having a good life in general. We did tighten our budget, planned our finances to a T. We live in Toronto, contrary to most, people are super friendly and social. Agreed, immigration needs to slow down to a bare minimum and prices needs to be adjusted, but please step out and touch grass. There is no war going on, canadian cities are still one of the best to live in the world. We frequently host get togethers with our neighbours, who are old stock canadians and new canadians alike. We support each other. We have a great community. Step outside talk to your neighbour.

Calgary, Toronto is not Canada. If you have skills that are in demand ex healthcare or construction you will have no issues. Smaller communities in smaller Provinces provide a good lifestyle with reasonable housing costs. I agree ignorance can be very expensive. Do your research.

Same thing happening in Holland, 3 white Dutch colleagues have left Osdorp, a part of Amsterdam with a high morrocan community after living there for 25 years because of the thuggish behaviour of morrocan men

As a Canadian I can tell you, if you are an everyday Canadian the government doesn't care. If you are indigestion they will say they care but do nothing, the government would rather change a street sign in toronto for 13 million, then give the largest indigenous community in canada nothing for clean water. The city of Prince Rupert BC is a city of 13 thousand people, and it has high amounts of lead in its drinking water, it's also mostly indigenous surprise surprise.

The noun “Israel” occurs 2,507 times in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. Twice “Israel” has a verb in the feminine singular form: 1 Samuel 17:21 and 2 Samuel 24:9.The Land of Israel has been inhabited since 2000 B.C.E. Populated by the Jewish people. Here is the timeline in case you didn't know it is their homeland as designated by GOD.\n\n1900 B.C. 400 BC: Abraham is chosen by God to be the father of the Jewish nation.\n1900 B.C. 400 BC: Isaac, son of Abraham, rules over Israel.\n1850 B.C. BC: Jacob, son of Issac, rules over Israel.\n1400 B.C. BC: Moses leads the people from Egypt back to Israel.\n1010 B.C. BC: King David unites the 12 tribes into one nation.\n970 B.C. BC: King Solomon, son of David, builds the first temple building in Jerusalem\n930 B.C. 400 BC: Israel is divided into two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah. 800s B.C. BC: The rise of the prophets, God's messengers.\n722 B.C. BC: The Kingdom of Israel is conquered by the Assyrians.\n605 B.C. BC: The Kingdom of Judah is conquered by the Babylonians.\n586 B.C. 400 BC: Solomon's Temple is destroyed by the Babylonians.\n539 B.C. 400 BC: Persians conquer the Babylonians and take control of Israel.\n538 B.C. BC: The Jews return from exile to Israel.\n520 B.C. BC: The temple is rebuilt.\n450 B.C. BC: Reforms by Ezra and Nehemiah.\n433 B.C. 400 BC: Malachi is the end of the prophetic age.\n432 B.C. BC: The last group of Jews returns from exile.\n333 B.C. BC: The Greeks conquer the Persian Empire.\n323 B.C. 400 BC: The Egyptian and Syrian empires take over Israel.\n167 B.C. 400 BC: The Hasmoneans recapture Israel and the Jews are ruled independently.\n70 B.C. BC: Romans conquer Israel.\n20 B.C. BC: King Herod builds the “third” temple\n6 B.C. BC: Jesus Christ is born in Bethlehem\n70 AD: Romans destroy the temple Afterwards the people were prisoners of the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and Crusaders. Despite all these events, the Jewish people continued to live in Israel. There were more or less of them depending on the century, but there was never a time when Jews did not live in the country. They stayed, they built their communities, they raised their families, they practiced their faith, and they suffered at the hands of many outside rulers, but they always kept their faith. It's what keeps her alive even now.\n\nIn 1948, the United Nations founded the State of Israel, the Nation of the Jews. Don't buy the Palestinians' lie that they are entitled to the land. It's simply not true. Yahweh will also provide His chosen people with an opportunity to live in Israel as He has for thousands of years. Pray for the people of Israel.

palestinians has all the right to live in their own country with peace if they dont allow hamas terorist in their community and put legitimate democratic goverment to govern them. im sure aid from different country did not go to waste.

Alcohol is damaging our communities ? I don’t drink myself but say these bearded clowns are the problem not alcohol

So salary laws need to be addressed. Housing issues should be looked into and better integration of immigrants to local communities. These are all policies issues, human created peoblems, that can be resolved. There are already numerous solutions proposed by experts and other parties to solve those issues. Most of those could already of been solved. It's the will to solve those issues that seems to be lacking.

This is the reason kung bakit Canadian government patuloy na humuhugot ng applicant or workers dito sa amin sa Pilipinas. Kaya mostly jan sa Canada na community, puro Pilipino na hahaha

Peaceful community spreading peace everywhere

I believe it’s time to take the foot off the immigration pedal. The numbers are wayyyy too high and we are starting to have serious difficulties in integrating the numbers that are coming to our shores as witnessed by ghettoization and rising crime numbers in communities. The immigration numbers are having a disastrous effect on the housing market for both established Canadians and immigrants. The high numbers are also putting unprecedented pressure on our healthcare regime which was not designed to serve the increasing numbers. What I find extremely difficult to understand is our inability to take care of our First Nations population by providing them with more opportunities, better housing and clean drinking water, yet invite people to our land who have tenuous and transient loyalties to the nation. Ultimately we arent doing immigrants any favours by inviting them to a nation that’s finding it increasingly difficult to get its act together.

Someone sensible respond from the Muslim community I appreciate

They show a lot of grocery stores when they talk about monopolies, but it’s in everything. When I was getting my internet set up I found out only one of the two main companies in Canada is provided for my area (they do this on purpose). So I pay over $100 a month just for internet. And literally have no other cheaper option other than living with no internet. (I’m in a small town so there aren’t even any cafes or anything to pop into). And live alone. Another thing, we’ve got a big country, and I live in a rural community, so most of my colleagues drive at least 45 minutes to get to work, one way, because they’d rather live in the city. And this is NB so you can’t take public transportation like trains to get here, you’re driving on the highway to get here. Since the pandemic houses have more than doubled, I did get a raise, but it was I think 4% over the last three years. So cost of living is definitely increasing at a much higher rate. Before the pandemic I could buy a week of groceries for one person for $60, now it’s more than $100 for a week easily, and that’s with looking for bargains and reducing the amount of meat and fresh produce I eat. It can’t keep getting worse, because people already can’t afford it, so something is going to have to change before everything breaks completely.

Days will come when Europe specially UK Germany France Italy and also Australia USA newzealand Canada will implement Sharia law in many parts of their locality ???????\nVote bank and cheap labour plus declining population of Christian in Christian countries resulted in islamisation of these countries. KARMA is back . Already USA is proved to be COWARD n SHREWD running from Afghanistan ???????\n. Only hindu community is peaceful all over the world but Christian countries wants to give immigration to followers of Islam and KHALISTANI people as they want to disturb India but they themselves are digging their grave ???????.\nUSA sheltering PAnnu khalistai and asking questions to India, filthy CIA old dirty mind bags can't explain why they eliminated Indian prime minister Shastri and killed Homi bhaba Indian scientist. KARMA will haunt shrewd countries and their kids will be paying the price.

I am baffled that Quebec is ranked first...You forgot Montreal's biggest cons : 24/7 construction which means constant traffic, a LOT of 'One way roads'. language barriers (Assuming you don't know French or the other cultures). Ghettos( They will get bold if you're not from their community). While there are job possibilities and good jobs, to anyone planning to move in our Province, DO NOT LIVE in Montreal. You will HATE it.

Don’t allow such concentrated communities to develop . It is dangerous for the country, any country.

I get that the arabs don't want palestinians to give up their lands. But his answer makes no sense.\n\nThe weight has to be lifted - who lifts that weight? US is siding with israel. International community has very little power over Israel. Who is going to save the muslims?\n\nGenuinely who??

The islam community in London says there’s only a few people doing this, but I do not see them, policing their own, and making sure that this stops, nor do I hear them publicly condemning that sort of bootjack enforcement of sharia law in.

As a powerful muslim community we should do something for Palestinians

Sir, the people who called themselves and others of the International Community Palestinians, who are squatters in Israel's lands. Today, you call Israel occupier of Arab's lands, yet truthful, Qatar a Israel will receive the land that God granted them, and it's for larger than the land that Israel is on today, and there will be no way for you nor anyone in the International Community will be able to stop this.

Sikh community ko azadi mil jni chaye ye Haq he un logo ka

I thought that 75 years ago an Arab army lost the war against the Israeli settlers ?. The Arabs were fighting the war to support the Palestinian Arab community at the time ?. So why shouldn't the Arab world take in refugees from Palestine ?for surely, a lot of Palestinian people themselves have Arab and Jordainian heritage as well as their religion and culture?.

Please talk about pok ,it belong to India and why Islam country is silent on it ,one sided community.

Excellent respond from the Saudi Prime Minister!! Palestinians should not be forced to Be refugees just because the Western and EU support ISRAEL to slaughter the Palestinians people!?. The question should be: When do you think US and European countries stop supporting the GENOCIDE in Palestine? Should Netanyahu be prosecuted for his War Crime in Palestine by International Community using International Law and Human Right Law?

This is all in aid of poisoning our minds against the Muslim community, ever since the World Cup we all saw how kind our fellow Muslims can be, divide an conquer.. remember that people it’s a few people in power that cause all this mayhem, we need to organise before they break our new found bonds

Allowing foreign investment by businesses drives up the cost of housing. Better control of foreign investment would negate the upwards push on price. I agree that Canadian communities are not adjusting their building codes to allow better use of space - we are way to conservative in our approach to keeping people safe in homes - staircase policies for example insist on 2 staircases per building for anything over 2 stories - crazy outdated concept given modern fire prevention materials and processes.

SIkh used to be a proud community. NOWADAYS, if you see any video of Brampton, Surrey or any other Canadian city, you will see only unruly Sikhs on the street creating nothing but problems. Even the local population hates them now. If you see the kind of racist comments in the reel from Canadians, you will realize what the situation has become there. Not following the law, rash driving, violent clashes etc. giving a bad name to their own community as well as India

Playing politics with civilian lives. Evacuating civilians from an active war one is not only the most humanitarian thing to do, but it is the most human thing to do. We can argue about the symantics later, but the international community has a moral obligation to evacuate every non combatant from the area. Jeez, you're all brain dead with this. No wonder so many civilians are dying.

***National Post***\nMuslim leaders should've condemned Hamas instead of fomenting hate\nIf they had spoken out against terrorism, their advocacy of the Palestinian cause would carry much more weight. \n\nPart of the reason we are seeing division, hatred and unrest in the streets of Montreal, Toronto and other communities across Canada is due to the collective failure of Muslim leaders, in Canada and around the world, to condemn the despicable Oct. 7 terror attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians. \n\nIt was a horrific and cowardly attack by a terrorist group — not by all Palestinians, Arabs or the wider Muslim community. It should have been condemned and contained immediately. Muslims who pride themselves as followers of a peaceful religion should have empathized and consoled the grieving Jews. \n\nThere was a lot of time to do this. There was a lengthy delay between the attack and Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza. Instead of taking this time to condemn Hamas’s slaughter, Arab and Muslim politicians and government leaders promoted anti-Jewish hate to shore up their political support. This is nothing less than encouraging antisemitism. \n\nMuslim political and religious leaders, barring rare exceptions, chose to contextualize, equivocate and, in most cases, justify Hamas’s barbarity. What we have, as a result, is widespread hate bordering on violence in Canada — a country where communities have historically lived side-by-side in peace. \n\nThe situation got worse due to the statements made by community leaders like Amira Elghawaby, Canada’s special representative on combating Islamophobia, who did not hide her partisan and divisive outlook by clearly siding with the protesters on Canadian streets, characterizing them as “peaceful demonstrations,” even though we have seen people supporting Hamas, calling for genocide against Israeli Jews and harassing and intimidating Jewish-owned businesses. \n\nOn Twitter, Elghawaby approvingly cited a quote from a Toronto Star column reading, “The stories I have heard are both fantastical and true. Muslims (and others who silently sympathize with the loss of Palestinians lives) are being disciplined, maligned, isolated and targeted at work.” \n\nInstead of reaching across the aisle and consoling the Jewish community, she has instead chosen to focus her public comments on rising Islamophobia. \n\nSeriously? Remember the Muslim family who were killed in a hate-related attack in London, Ont., a couple years ago? All communities, including the Jewish community, across the political and religious spectrum unambiguously condemned that hate crime. And it brought a sense of relief and security to Muslims in Ontario. \n\nRemember how, after more that 50 people were gunned down while worshipping at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019, political and religious leaders from all faiths stood behind Muslims and consoled them? \n\nAlso, after the Quebec mosque attack, almost all communities in Canada chose to stand with Muslims. There were images of people in Alberta who formed a human chain to protect Muslims. Similar scenes were witnessed elsewhere in the country. Jewish community leaders spoke out, loud and clear, in support of Muslims and against hate and bigotry. \n\nBut that is not what Elghawaby did. Instead, she makes it sounds as though it is Muslims who are the victims, while failing to mention the barbarity unleashed on Oct. 7. This is not leadership. This is not her mandate. Her job is to promote tolerance as enshrined in Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. \n\nNow imagine a scenario in which Muslims did what they ought to have done in the first place: condemned the Hamas attack, sided with the Jewish victims and dissociated themselves from terrorism. Their voices for the Palestinian cause would have carried much more weight. \n\nWhat we are seeing instead is a rising tide of anti-Jewish hate on our streets, promoted and peddled by Muslim leaders themselves, either by gaslighting the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, or wallpapering it with the political colours of the Palestinian cause. \n\nLet us all come together, not to let hate be poured onto the streets of Canada, but to stand united for a secure and prosperous country. \n\nNational Post \n\nRaheel Raza and Mohammad Rizwan are members of the Council of Muslims Against Antisemitism.

i live in islam majority country, first this looks like make the community clean from drunken people and criminal action... but the true agenda is not that, main purpose is khilafah...they manipulate people mind then turn people into radical muslim, radical muslim is muslim who follow al qur'an and hadits correctly.. after that, they will annouce khilafah , islam state... in. everywhere, thats the mission, main mission of islam religion

Even Canadians don't want to live in Canada. The communities have become violent and dangerous with people from violent and dangerous countries, like Nigeria.

Punjabis have always been much more advanced socio -economically than the other Indian communities.\n\nPunjabi-Tahiyo satho sarhde ne log---

The local communities need to tackle them because they live in a western civilisation and If somebody cannot adhere it they should find a country of choice and move

Their hiring system is broken with 99% referral, long and never open job applications, pairing with unrealistic expectations for entry levels, plus they don’t like to train, cannot even get an admin job in a better wage with a BA degree. Many even locals are unemployed with gaps over 7 months, also they cannot switch jobs freely… Once thought I can leverage my skills for the country and together create a better community for everyone, but I’m wrong, everyone is struggling, sinking, and I think I can’t survive here as the rent is really eating me up. Glad I haven’t go for immigration to CA, and I will go back to my home country for my career path, batter pay and at least I can survive…

Im muslim but its not a muslim or sikh or hindu country there rules and we gotta go by it ,how is a community who is also partly white/black/hispanic /arab gonna feel safe just some random who is unknown if he’s danger or not to carry a weapon ?

There is no community friendliness in America, and this is the reason for loneliness and depression. If you cannot visit your next neighbour, then, you cannot visit far away neighbour. How do you cope in such a society where you only mind your business?

Local communities must work with the police and stop these disturbed idiots using the full force of the law before there is real trouble.

The situation arises from the fact that, although Canada is a developed nation, there's a shortage of job opportunities and forward-thinking companies sought after by many qualified individuals. Moreover, challenges include drug-related issues, government inaction on inflation, and high rent problems. The focus appears to be on importing individuals, sometimes intolerant towards the LGBTQ community, rather than prioritizing support for its own citizens.

Canadians need to stand up more to the indian community thats bullied their way into this great nation. Knife attacks are on rampant, harassing women is more rampant especially in major cities.. \n\nIf you feel the need to bring your toxic behavior to this country, stay home.

If you move away from your home country, it takes half the time of your actual age to understand, & get used to the country you move into. \n1) Ikea also offers assembly service for which you have to pay. \n2) home owner/landlord didn’t improve noise isolation issue of their floorings. It’s normal practice of most lazy landlords who only rents their basement for reducing their mortgage cost. Or probably didn’t even know that it is doable.\n3) Employment- I am glad to see you found a skilled workplace somewhat related to your career. If you had to go through odd jobs, you would have left Canada within a month. \n4) Hospitals- Indian Government hospitals works the same way. Priorities go to life threatening patients first. But as an ex-Indian, we love spending arms and legs of money. Our loved ones survive going in private hospitals without insurance. \n5) socializing & jokes- I think you should’ve moved to Brampton so you can be part of the ghettoized community we have created there. so what day by day their crime rates are going high, we can at least understand the joke we can laugh on there. And there is no home sickness feeling.\n6) Weed!! - India has legalized alcohol, tobacco consumption. It does not mean anyone can go buy this. Even to buy legal weed in Canada you have to show your ID. At least that process is followed properly here.\n7) Vegetarian- if you want to follow a diet like this, all you have to request the restaurant to swap the meat with either potato hashbrowns, or if they have soya bean patties. \n8) Struggle- struggle is part of life. There is no requirement of whining about it. What do you need to be concerned is that you are getting an opportunity to go ahead, if you can’t get that that’s an issue. \n\nAnyways , I’m glad you made a video regarding your point of view on leaving Canada. Maybe you are not ready to mentally grow yourself being around people with different community and cultures & co-exist.

Rent will keep increasing as there is no competitive market. as many of the people in Canada are already operating carousel tax fraud. Look that up on W5 and Canada is doing nothing to stop this, guess where all the ones at the top of that carousel are from? As long as there are ones operating illegal business earning more than the average hard worker being able to afford higher rent the rent will not be decreased but keep going up. Saying that they are bringing in mostly younger people is a lie too, they bring in everyone. That our workers are aging out and there will be nobody to do the work. Let's think about this clearly, as the population grows we need more businesses, more schools, more produce etc... Fact we need the same amount of business for a community based on the size of the community I would think. In the 1800's a small school house was sufficient, a local convenience store was enough with a mail order catalogue etc.. As population grows you need more. We also now have self check outs etc.. We are cutting down Canadas number one resource trees to make way for more and more roads etc.. Having to spend more to change and widen roads, feed these refugees, support them till they get situated, house them for how long, educate, train them, and then hope they can actually adapt and not hate us etc.. Look around the world and not just in our own back yards i.e. what happened in NY today, look at Britain afraid to put up Merry Christmas not to offend or any Christian monuments. Yet we have to tolerate. hmmm As said before I am neither Christian nor Jewish I am Natsarim and view those things as pagan myself but feel this world is going down the wrong path and nobody should have to cave in for the sake of others. I will stand with the Christian and I will stand with anyone that I feel are being made to turn over their ways for the sake of others and have their economy shattered in so many ways. Ask yourself what is your government really doing to protect you on so many levels? Many also come here only to study or take loans and then spend all that money they borrow and then leave, banks offer them special incentives with with welcome to Canada packages and they use it all up, buy goods, then sell them and leave. I read that it really is a problem and some have posted on quora if I owe canada money will I be arrested if I return or what will they do to me. It was quite a high amount on a special credit card he obtained that he maxed out shopping and then selling the goods. Now I know many can do that sort of thing and some by mistake, but those that have no intent to stay... The point is what is being done to protect us from purposeful frauds.

Muslims never make communities better.\n Everwhere they go gets worse.\n It should be taught in school.

you think they would be aware of what it was if they were tasked with protecting the community. I see them with dagars all the time... It really isn't illegal to have a knife. I'm not sure why they are even stopping him. I'm guessing cause he's in a school?

As Indian we love sikh community,,, waheguru ki jai???,,,par ye khalistani khali india ka nehin pure biswa samaj ke liye kalank hain,,,,itihaas gawah he jab koi hamare bich darar dalne ki koshish ki hamari santi bhang karne ki koshish uski ankhen nikal diya gaya,,,aur age se jo aisi harkat karega use mitti me mila diya jaega,,,??? waheguru ❤❤❤???

I blame this conservative government for letting into many Muslim extremist wanting to convert white communitys into Muslims ,i thought Muslims are supposed to be peaceful loving people were not seeing this anymore

Ashir bhai, whats the update on community aap.
