I don't think SirJohn has ever met a Muslim person in his life, yet talks about them as if he's some kind of authority on what they believe and what their religion means to them.

No he talks about what is basic, common knowledge about their societies and cultures and beliefs. I've already said my next door neighbour is a Muslim. I used to work with Muslim all the time when I was poor. At one point the city of Ottawa reached and agreement with Minto to house refugees in my building, mostly Somalis, so I used to live among them too. In fact, my riding there had the highest percentage of Muslims in Canada, and might still have for all I know.

It's bizarre. Especially this talk of women, when it's well documented that many of them choose to continue to wear the hijab or even begin wearing it when they're in Canada as an expression of their personal religious devotion.

Funny. Wasn't that what I said when Impact said it's probably just cultural? It's bizarre you didn't read that.

They actually do this in some cases because our national value of multiculturalism and pluralism makes them feel safe to do so

As opposed to Iran and Iraq and Egypt and other Muslim countries where they don't feel safe to do so? It's bizarre you would think so.

Seriously, you need to stop reading white nationalist propaganda and actually get out of the house and meet the people you've learned to hate.

Sorry, but I've never read any white nationalist propaganda.  You need to crawl out from that carefully guarded safe space where you keep your mind and look around you some time. You might find that, shockinglly, I'm not aberrant in my beliefs, or the slightest bit unusual, you are. My views don't reflect 'white nationalists' but Canadians in general. Turn off the CBC and go look around. Seventy percent of Canadians liked Kellie Lietch's values test idea. Do you think they were all white nationalists or reading white nationalist web sites?
