If anyone wears a niqab or burqa they are not communicating openly. \nWesterners rely on seeing the full facial expression when talking to someone. When only the eyes are exposed it comes over as sinister, this person must be hiding something. \nIt is no secret that if you wanted a job in a bank in years past, you needed to ensure you did not have a beard. \nIn fact most banks around the world insist nowadays on their customers removing helmets and balaclavas if you go within their doors,, because of identification. They want to know who they are dealing with: is this person hiding something, are they a crim, are they dishonest ?

Something the media is afraid to say out loud...Women who wear the burka do so because they are married to Muslims who support Sharia Law ( Look it up ) and women are nothing but sex slaves to these men.

I'm sorry not to hound on Muslims wearing the macabre or how you spell it. When you wear something that covers your face and you look like a damn ninja. Can you really blame folks for feeling the way they do? Despite it being part of your culture or religion but you guys need to understand where those people are coming from when you dress up like a ninja.

It's not a religion, it's a fascist mohammadist man cult, hating an racist bigoted sexist freedom hating cult is not a phobia, it's justifiable repulsion against something that is repulsive ( FRANCE SHUTS DOWN 160 MOSQUES AS PART OF ITS STATE OF EMERGENCY)))))

shopping while black -- happened to me. I was in high school at the time, and I was playing hooky from class. Went into a Lucky's shopping store just to look around, to pass the time really so that I could skip first period. Manager stopped me on my way out with angry tone, demanded me to open my purse and accused me of taking something. I hadn't of course. Later told my mom about what happened and she was so angry she demanded an apology from the store manager, who did apologize

Nice video, Derek. I'm gonna add something you didn't even mention. Here in the U.S., there is the Patriot Act, and a growing Police State. Our liberties and Constitutional rights are being trampled by the day. Our privacy is being lost at an alarming rate, and there are more checkpoints than ever before, tighter security measures at airports than ever before, metal detectors even at high schools for students just to attend class, and worst of all shootings of innocent people by cops (often homeless, mentally ill, etc.) than ever before. I don't know for sure, but I don't think Canada has the degree of the same problems, and if they do, they certainly aren't at the magnitude that they are happening here in the states. Those shootings are about 2,000-3,000 just in the last year!! Please be careful, especially in California, and know your U.S. Constitutional rights if/when you get stopped on the road or anywhere else.

To be honest, it's other people you need to be worried about... like its more likely that some other idiot will cause you to get injured or something, so health insurance i so worth having, to protect yourself against someone else's poor action :) <3\nall the love

4:06 and 6:38 If you are performing a, say, theft, or any kind of criminal activity wearing what you are wearing right now, would anyone be able to identify you afterward?\n7:41 Facial identity and fingerprint covered.\n\n\nFurthermore, if lots of people dislike the so called religion of peace, then there has to be something wrong with the religion. There is no smoke without fire, at least theres ember. A growing concern indeed.

in the name of God most Beneficent most Merciful.niqaab is forbidden is agianist Allah the most high law. Allah the most sets a limit their go over Allah's limit they should wear something big enough to cover their head their privet part ( cheast) this is in the glorious Quran Karim but they fallow other then Quran peace

higher status? seriously? not bing able to show yourself means you're held to a higher status? sounds like something the men tell them to make them be okay with it. sounds like bullshit. wear what you want, i don't care but it seems messed up to me that you would have to wear something that covers your whole body, seems like you're less of a person not a more important person.

Can we agree that we are all human being we should all respect each other either we are black,white or yellow and from either religions?first,  In islam,in The quran there is writted that we should respect christianity, jews.. Or we Will face muhammad(pboh) on The day of judgjment Also we shouldnt make differance between A Man black or white judging by The fact The creation of god. ive saw alot of comment here of threating islam of every kind of names and some muslim calling them morons: you should show sbar to UR feloows, its discusting sriously because of terrorist who could be SEEn as A christian jew hindu or muslim but we Forget The fact that terrorism HAS NO RELIGION, show me one Book where theyve righted to kill ppl??? People have distroyed the name of jihad that means to go ontO A war if and only somewone attacks you,only for auto defense. See im A muslim, I have tons of multicultural friends theyve said alot of things in front of me about islam but i have explained them about MY true religion And theyve agrreed one of them converted and she wore the niqab. Niqab,hijab,burka arent A signification of autority of mans far from there islam supports women and respect them more THAn U can imagine, in the quran No men have right to Touch a women, he should respect her, women should keep their beauty only for their husbands and the mans should lower their gaze!!islam forces no one to do something because once youve read the quran and have the faith the commendmens writted arent A big deall. Everything in the quran is logical and just but the new generation ruined it all. Let me tell you brother and sisters if U see someone that is rich wont U think that their Family is rich too? Its The same thing for islam ppl saw ppl saying that they where muslim and killing ppl beating women and raping poor kids while it is Strictly banned in islam. So I blame muslim who doesnt act well to show example and too all others human who juge without knowing. And just one thing there is alot of ppl that pass themselve as muslim just by putting on A beard and by saying Allah hu akbar .Why cant we live all together why is there that much racism why cant we LOVE and do peace like islam shows and all other religion because their is one god and we all know it next it for U to judge but dont judge without knowing because they could be A girl who look mean but is kind vice versa. On that salam oualeykoum, bye and have A good day and rest of Life . \nMay Allah guide us all. May god guide us all.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wearing a hijab or a niqab shouldn't define a person. Why should ALL Muslims be judged on something ONE Muslim did? That's like saying you will never eat apples again, because one didn't taste good. We all have the right to dress however we want but then why are women who cover their faces criticized. People seriously have a lot of time if they criticize other people based on what they wear. lol srsly get a life.

I'm reading comments and wow I see Canadians even worst then Americans and Europeans! Just don't touch Muslims and they will not touch you, you know what I mean? Don't sent to Muslim countries your army don't create Isis or something like that with your Jew bosses and blacking us! You guys don't know what to be a real Muslim!

OK so whatever with them and their need to wear cloth and hold no identity of their own, and their stupid religion. I don't care really I guess about what they wanna do. That's them. It's fine. The part that bugs me is that I know their crap is going to be enforced upon the rest of us as if they have any right at all to tell me what to do. I WILL NOT be included in this belief system. And honestly, it's the fear of losing our freedom to choose that's causing so much anger in everyone else. These people have absolutely no right WHATSOEVER to have any sort of opinion on anyone's life, or how I should freaking dress in the morning. But they think they do. And I fear that that's something we're going to have to fight them for one day.

This a disgusting see that girls with this clothes ......cannot see they face ,,,,,if something do something bad .....cannot says who is ...

The thing is you hear things about ISIS or hamas and you try to separate it and say that it only the extremists, when in fact the moderates still support it. when speaking to a muslim friends of mine i asked her if your book says killing is wrong then why is there so much of it in islam? to my dismay she said that as long as they're killing for her religion its ok and that she supports things like the charlie hebdo shootings. She claims to support freedom of speech, but in reality, only things that are not opposed to islam. tried telling her if you ant talk about something freely then it isn't freedom of speech but she couldnt comprehend that. its disappointing to see that even though they are not the ones directly in the terrorist groups, they still support what they do.

this 'muslim women' not wearing nikab is so full of shit its not even funny. why is indonesia and malyasia islamic countries. did muslims go there and start wars, NO. these asians accepted the religion because of their research and analysis of authentic textual evidence. spain was a muslim country for years and those years in history contained some of the best times for civil justice in that region. the reason she's not covering her hair probably has to do with the fact that arabic is not even her first language and if you put a gun to this chicks head and told her to recite surat al faitha (something muslims suppose to say 17 times per day) she couldnt do it in a million years. this same woman also said in the interview that the sixth pillar of islam is jihad\nin fundementalism and thats a lie. the sixth pillar of islam is considered to be al kadr (believe in predistination) and the fact that this ignorant woman had the call to go on national televison and speak about islam like she actually knew or understood anything is dispicable because non of the shit that this stupid bitch said in the interview was factually correct about the religion , so why don't you get the actual facts citynews you bunch of dusters and stop airing fear mongering macivalian style tatics to slowly rip away human rights to freedom of self expression to prodominately new immigrant canadians. these fresh immigrants have been through enough with out you rich good looking assholes shitting all over them. you anti-islam people are dicks

Tolerance is not a one way street. Canadians (and other westerners) should wake up and realize that, and also form a basic understanding about the evils of islam, that muslims stand for.\nMany douchebags and pseudo-liberals of the Ben Affleck kind, will go to great lengths to defend islam and muslims while knowing absolutely nothing about that religion or its followers, with the only purpose being to selfishly display how PC they are. A true liberal person will value their acquired freedoms and privileges, and not be tolerant of the intolerant. Furthermore, real leaders should not be afraid to bring these points up, backing them up with hard evidence (not just hear-say or opinions), for the purpose of protecting civilised society: so that muslims and non-muslims all can understand why islam is incompatible with western civilisation. If muslims are offended by any of that, then that offence is brought on by themselves. PC has no place here.\n\nHere are some reasons why islam is incompatible with civilised society:\n1. Muslims consider the quran to be the perfect book and their prophet to be the perfect man, who's behaviour is to be aspired to, so perfect that any imagery of him does him great injustice and is forbidden. Other than being plain stupid, this in itself doesn't affect civilised society much (except free speech when drawing cartoons), but this does becomes a critical point in combination with the next points:\n2. A perfect man does not marry a 6 year old girl and then f*ck her when she's 9. But that's what their perfect prophet did and they know it, often justifying it as being in a different time. Well no time ever has been ok for a 50+ year old man to f*ck a 9 year old. \n3. In this religion that muslims consider perfect, apostasy is to be punished by death (quran 4:89). This combined with the fact that muslims consider their religious doctrines more important than man-made (western) law is something that makes them incompatible with civilised society. Of course they benefit from the civilised society, but not vice versa. \n4. Then there are the many verses in the quran that order muslims to fight non-muslims (and specifically jews), order death for adultery and homosexual behaviour, etc. Just search and you'll find as there are way too many to list here. Try here for example: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/\n5. Islam is an extremely controlling religion, it intervenes in everything aspect of human life, even as far as with which hand is to be used for eating and which for wiping off after taking a dump. It also declares itself to be the only true and last religion leaving no space for other religions or atheism. This is what makes it such a totalitarian and fascist religion.\n\nMuslims won't deny these points I listed, but they often will try to evade addressing them. \nToo keep a long story short: if you are really a tolerant/liberal person, then you stand your ground and stand for civilised principles, and don't tolerate or defend islam like some traitorous PC pseudo-liberal Ben Aslick sort of character.

muslim fear bill C-51..... got something to hide?

Everyone on here talking shit about Islam, I have something to say, have you ever owned a copy of the holy Quran and read it word by word CORRECTLY? If No, then get yourself one and then, come comment shit! Thank you and I have a wonderful day?

Anyone notice that Muslims always find something or someone else to blame but never ever reform themselves.

To people who say That Canada is their country\nCanadian themselves are immigrants and they were immigrants once. Attacking natives and taking over their land is something that all Canadians should remember. Original Canadians are Natives.\n\nIf Canada hates Islam so much, why they allow Muslims to enter their country in the first place.\nif you allow religious people to live here, you should bear their religious and cultural practices as well. \n\nYou idiots don't know anything About Islam.just for few groups who were created by the west to ruin Islam's reputation, and for destruction of Muslim countries, You open your dirty mouth and throw out bad words at Islam with what ever dirt you taste. So educate yourselves and have respect for all religions regardless of race and language and get respect back. Canada is for everyone.

The thing is that they use our freedom of choice and freedom of speak to implement/spread their religion interests. Minorities in islamic countries, mostly christians, aren't allowed to show their religion publicly. \nThey even implement in Norway that news anchors are not allowed to wear any religion jewelry like a cross anymore. They've complained about it and now its forbidden.\nIslamic interests have more weight than christians, in a christian country? \nThere is something really wrong going on...

Finally something i can agree with regarding Harper. Way to go Harper! Ill vote for you!

You are ashaim of your God!!!!!\nGod created you without of the face cover, and you cover what God created. He created something bad?

1:30 finally, something I can agree with Harper about.

The most muslims  don t like veillance Is true.\nBut they don t come to help you, when something like IS doing his job> to kill the unbelievers.\nIt s written in the koran, allah hackbar.

Blacks arent the problem in canada as much as it is in the US. There was no KKK here. The people that do deserve the knowledge is the Aboriginals. The government treated them bad and so did the churches. They are what the Canadian government should be addressing and not so much the blacks as they are just as equal as a white man in Canada now. Jobs for the government 1 year have to hire more minorities then another year females and what not. I cant speak for what it is like in the US but where I live blacks are treated the same as whites. There are some arabs that think they are the gangsters and hate white peopl for ni reason. I asked them why they hates whites so much and they said its because they are pussys. That aint no damn reason. If you disagree please enlighten me with your knowledge. And if you live in the US dont comment saying you know more because i doubt you were even taught a single thing about canada in school. But if you do know something please teach me.

I wonder if that muslim girl knows that we can see her face clearly through that veil? And why impose something on yourself that prevents girls and women from leaving a burning building if they aren't wearing it, leading to their deaths? Why accept this imprisonment? And how can these women think this is them being held at a higher standard? What you mean is that if you are raped, it would be considered yout fault. Just good ol'brainwashing techniques at play. \n\nIn any case, the veil does not belong in a society where people have photo IDs.

Am I missing something? Islam condones jihad and all muslims read the koran and try to emulate their prophet weather they purport to be moderate or not. As a matter of fact the extremist muslims are more devout muslims than the so called moderate one.

This might a little of topic but many of the practices that Muslims do are very good health wise \n\n1) while making wudo (a special wash before prayer) when we rinse our nose with water to that cleans until the the bone at the top of our nose is so good that it actually finishes allergies like if you have pollen allergy because when you clean it is getting less sensitive and more stronger I know someone (I've met someone) that had an allergy with fur or something and they made wudo very often and in actually 2 years they had no allergies\n\n2) when we pray:\nThere was a young man who wasn't so practising so he didn't pray he spent his time working out and doing track and field during one of his runs he fell and fractured a bone when the went to the doctor (non Muslim doctor) he told the guy to do some actions that will help in recovering his bones and the acts that the doctors showed him were the actions we do in our prayer, the guy decided to do these actions but not by itself but in his prayer and this was giving to him by a person that wasn't even Muslim!\n\n3) when Muslims cover ourselves many guys don't hit on us because when we cover ourselves its a sign so show that we are not into these kinds of stuff \nIf you want to see proof search up walking in NYC for 10 hours by AreWeFamousNow\n\nSo next time you say that we are crazy doing this stupidity we are protecting ourselves and we are treating our body good health wise.

i'm just waiting for anyone else to talk shit.. oh damn.. what i have waiting for you.. just please say something else so you could see what i'mma do to you.. ya'll are like little ants to me LMAO this shit is too easy.

When will they allow Christians and Jews to hold religious services in Mecca?\nWhy should other cultures be willing to permit something those of Islam won't?

My experience in Canada has been largely positive, with only minimal racial difficulties.  As a teenager, I do recall some kids making blatantly racist comments, when I was the only minority in the room; but they were silly girls, popular and full of themselves, and most of the students who heard did not laugh with them. We all knew it was wrong.  Another time I was told, by an agent, that a potential employer claimed she would not hire me because of my race.  I did not hear these words firsthand, though, so it was impossible for me to verify the truth. In the end, I let the matter alone. Other people,  I realize, have endured severe injustices; such have not been my experience, but this does not subtract from their reality.  Indeed, racism does exist, and shall remain as long as there are imbeciles wallowing in the mire of ignorance, people who cling to an absurd sense of superiority for lack of something more meaningful to hold.  As well--and it must be said!--quite likely, we all have, at some point, entertained discriminatory thoughts. 'Tis not a 'black and white' problem but a human one, and we must be mindful of it beginning with ourselves.  Canada, then, with its many inhabitants and complex history, will never be the exception. We can't expect perfection among people, here or anywhere else in the world.  Even so,  I believe there are enough fellow Canadians who strive to treat people as individuals and are happy to make friends across cultures.  My life has been and continues to be a testament to that!  Whatever our troubles, we still retain a proud heritage of diversity and progressive ethnic harmony.  We do try, and for this reason I love my country.  I am deeply patriotic and immensely proud to be part of it!  

why is it against the law in Britain to burn a Koran but not against the law to burn a Bible? There is something wrong about this.

Enough is enough. America, wake up over 500,000 Muslim/Refugees being relocated to the United States. Did you vote for that? Of course not. For the real truth Google “TheProjectMuslimBrotherhood” their secret doctrine to destroy America from within.  Guess what they are succeeding folks. One only has to look at England and France and Europe today, It is sad what Paris has become, mainly due to the Muslim immigration; take a good look at Europe and that is America in 25 years, unless something is done to prevent “theprojectmuslimbrotherhood” from making further inroads into America, our cities, schools, universities and even our own government.  Multiculturalism is literally destroying Europe. There are now over 700 “Islamic no go Muslim Zones” within England, France and Germany. \nMichigan, Tennessee, California and Colorado have so far most of the immigrants what State next? I have no problem with the “peaceful Muslim” that wants to integrate into our culture and follow our laws.  The problem lies in that they want to dominate and force Islam and Sharia law upon us all. Just not acceptable here in America folks. Stand up and be counted.  “When good men and woman our quiet evil always wins”  Forget about be labeled a racist, or being politically correct, multiculturalism is not good for America. Let them adopt to our culture, period Amen. Again for facts and truth Google “theprojectmuslimbrotherhood” speaks volumes on the intent to destroy us from within. Who will stop this “insanity” from becoming a reality in America? Join ACT today, a non violent association with over 600 chapters throughout America and the World, to stop radical Islam and Sharia Law from making further inroads into our culture. Jews, Christians, Priests are being murdered and churches are being burned to the ground, enough is enough folks. Stand up and be counted to defeat this real threat upon America. Enough is really enough folks.

Arm up and treat Islam as it should be, something to be hated.  Death to Islam

Same shit going on everywhere, we have to do something about it. Britain, Russia, USA, all the Europe. What the fuck is this?

Something very big is going to happen in SE England.

Well, this is bad for the UK. Hopefully we can do something in Canada before it happens as it does in every europe country. Oh wait, it has already started, someone save us :-/

If they attempt this in China, they are gonna get lined up and shot for treason...\n\nHopefully the politicians of the west grow a spine and do something..

Are you serious?\nFirstly when you encounter information you do not like you just dismiss it as fraudulent without any evidence or reasoning - please provide your evidence that this is false\nAlso, you think that Muslim people do not decompose???\nHonestly, you need to read a book without numbered paragraphs and learn something factual instead of thinking the same as people 1400 yrs ago - you do realise that we have progressed from the time of Mohammed right?\nTime to join the modern world bloke!

Please provide your scientifically proven evidence that Humans are not part of the evolutionary cycle and provide reasonable explanation why all life would evolve and not us - that makes no sense\nIt only does if you maintain a primitive, supernatural view of the world and think we are something special in cosmic terms\nWe are just the most intelligent species to have evolved on this planet, claiming otherwise is childlike fantasy that we have a special place in the Universe, its bigger than us!

We live, we die, we shit, we kill, we do all the things that are not attributes to the definition of god. God is wise, juste, and so on. Within your self you find flesh and a little more. Outside of that you find the universe that contains a *PERFECT* environment for you to live in. Nothing does not create everything, something creates something like a human created that ''light''. So brighten up and think beyond you inner self. Look around... your a intellectual human.

yes well depicting the prophet is forbidden in islam so its something its very important to us. Kill jewish children? sums you up. no guessing what side of the palestine debate you are on. because its not like the jews have ever killed any muslims, or taken away their land. and yes you are clearly generalizing, by saying Islam blah blah blah when its actually a insignificant minority of muslims with their own POLITICAL ideologies. No point arguing with someone who clearly has it in for Islam.

Islam is pretty tolerant too. you just need to avoid seeing Islam as shown in the media as beign radical. for the past 10 years all you've seen is propaganda.\nthis is not your country. do you own it? please explain how you lay claim to the fact that it is your country. land is not something that was just handed out you ignorant moron. nobody has any claim to right of land despite what the pathetic capitalists will have you believe.

1:47 then do something about it you fuckwits

mush238 You're even more of an idiot than I ever thought. How man times are you going to write something totally stupid and then delete it?

Dogs(?) - Am I missing something here? Learn the truth(?) Oh I get it, your calling us dogs, how original. But it's not us out on the street 'hounding' people. Besides, dogs do have a natural ability to round up sheep.

Whatever your point is be more mature in speaking your mind. Talk about changing policies, stopping immigration, and things that could acheive something. Not sure if you're from the UK but you should know well enough that its a country where people should have a voice, so make yours heard.
