The great majority of Canadians have no issue with Religious Islam, but have grave concerns with Political Islam with its dream of a world Caliphate, death to all Infidels (anyone not Muslim) and violent behaviour through terrorism, beheadings and suicide bombings. We also have serious reservations about Social Islam with its misogyny and treatment of women as chattel, its homophobia, racism and intolerance , its pedophilia (forced marriages between children and dirty old men), Sharia, polygamy, violence and segregation. Islam is condemned to the values of the 7th century and is incapable of evolving as western religions did ( we must remember that Judaism and Christianity were very violent and regressive initially as well but evolved painfully through the centuries to the values our society treasure today). Muslims are forbidden to evolve as the "word of Allah" is unquestionable and cannot be adapted to modern realities. It is truly a Clash of Civilizations and we must insist that our values be respected and celebrated, at least in our country. We can thank Mr. Trudeau for imposing his utopian multiculturalism on all of us in the Canadian Constitution. We are now seeing some of the negative fallout. We don't require or expect new Canadians to assimilate, but at least to integrate and respect our equalitarian, secular values that were gained at great cost by previous generations. The niqab is an affront to these values, and good on Quebec for finally facing the issue.
