No doubt, the majority of immigrants come to Canada in search of a better
life. But in this essay, which concludes my three-part series marking the 10th
anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I draw on intelligence specialists, Muslim
scholars and academics to argue that Canadians need to recognize that
immigration has implications for national security and that Immigration Minister
Jason Kenney needs to get serious about reforming the system, especially in regard to reducing the number
of immigrations from countries where Islamist and anti-Western sentiments are
fostered and promoted. The reality is, say critics, that there are those coming
to this country that mean it, and the West, harm. So why do we have an
immigration system that undermines Canada’s liberal democratic order?
The opinion of critics? White critics?

It is very bad and they shouldn't be critical unless they want to race card laid on them.

I honestly think that Canada tries to be too compassionate. We don't like to say "no" to anyone with a half decent story, thus the number of refugee claimants we allow is always high. I can't speak with any authority about specifics on our immigration system except to say that although I realize we need immigration to help maintain our population and thus our society, 280 000 people a year seems very high to me. I am curious how this number compares to the US, and European nations.

Did I suggest that the Muslims "leave the country"?

No. I suggested we STOP Muslim immigration.

It's pretty easy to lump all muslims together apparently, but what about non-practising muslims, secular muslims? Should they be denied entry because some people of their faith are terrorists?

Duh.

Sir. I suggest you leave the country. Hurry up you dumb bigot.
This is a free country.
We will not bend to your small minded racism.

Duh.

Islam's not a race.

Why do you throw your support behind a religion that permits child sex, physical abuse and subjection of women and the cutting off of hands for stealing a chocolate bar?

Duh.

Islam's not a race. And don't you realize that's it is the Muslims that want us to bend to their small-minded ideology? Just take a look at the current situation in England.

Why do you throw your support behind a religion that permits child sex, physical abuse and subjection of women and the cutting off of hands for stealing a chocolate bar?

Well I believe in freedom so all religions are evil in my view but I refuse to discriminate against anyone who practices one. If they commint a crime then they should be dealt with under the laws of the land in which they committed the crime.
Moral of the story. Don't steal in a muslim country if you want to jerk off tomorrow.

Other than the brutality of it, how is it different from Christians who want to impose their narrow views on the rest of us?

How about the socialists?.. Scientists... Philosophers?...

Are their views more sanitary and therefore deserving of being plied on society?
I object to anybody trying to impose their will on the rest of us. Unfortunately, there will always be some who will try. Having said that, I was addressing the specific statement about Muslims, which was a religionist comment.

Fair enough, I can see the logic.

My point, any time that a "group" organizes to achieve and ends, the potential exists to leverage that goal at the expense of another demographic, group, etc..

8O...........Dang ! All this cause I wondered if we had enough planes and ships to bring in more immigrants.

I think that there are plenty of planes and boats to achieve your goal... All you need is the cash to charter them and land on Cdn soil.
