Non violent methods should be used. Water cannons are not non violent and would only incite & inflame the issue.
That prayer event was held in that public sphere for a reason
It's people pushing their religions in public....and I would hardly call Canada a Christian country. Church attendance has been dropping for decades. Many people identify themselves as Christians but that doesn't really make them Christian
As for the video, I did not see thousands of Muslims nor did I see anything that would intimidate me...but I understand you're Brittish and that may make a difference.
Unlike your rather backwards country Canada is a multicultural country not a fundie one. So one religion can not be above all others.
How can we say it's not a Christian country when certain Christian groups have a guaranteed right to separate schools?
Well, except for two in the Constitution.

Muzzies are going through the same thing Orthodox Christians went through 100 years ago. In 1920 an act of Parliament prevented Ukrainian Orthodox from setting up their own school system.Because it was agreed to in the past. Doesn't make it so today. In fact we have separate schools of all types of religions now.
At last some might say.
Muslim street prayers is now a fairly well used and documented provocation across Europe. The idea is to do a highly aggressive and threatening act in public yet make it look like an act of piety, so that any response to it other than total submission to the subversion of public space to Islamic purpose, appears to be an aggressive and anti-freedom act, as well as a breach of their rights to freedom of religion and making the Muslims be both the aggressor and victim at the same time.
It is quite a treat to see Germans not falling for this the way the British and French have been so far. Feb 8 2014

Germans fight back to classic provocation tactic. At last. | Vlad Tepes
Which is a prime reason as to why it is such an inappropriate group behaviour.Bearing in mind many Muslims probably object to such tactics on the part of fellow 'Muslims' too.

Fully agreed. It's just a shame that rather than calling out the specific people and groups doing this, it's just another opportunity to bash Muslims generally. I bet more than a few Muslims are embarrassed by such behaviour in the name of their Faith.
I think a few things here are simply ridiculous.
1. Kneeling down with your head to the ground has to be one of the least threatening things that anyone could ever do.
2. Canada is explicitly not a "Christian country". Our laws and government are not set up around any religion, and the right to religious freedom is considered a fundamental freedom in our charter of rights.
3. Has nobody pointed out the clear similarities between this German Defense League stuff in relation to Muslims and the Nazi's in relation to the Jews?
I have checked around and cannot find that this is a common event - France has outlawed street prayers but have provided facilities for Muslim Prayers.

if it had been Christians in the street would you label it as antics? (see below for a fuller explanation) Is there a problem with the one but not the other or are they equally insidious?
I do not have a problem with grace before meals. Although I am not Christian, or Muslim or Hindi, etc. I like the intent of grace before meals said at any meal in anyway by anybody. In my household we almost always say grace before meals and I use the Catholic version because I know the words so it is the handiest. God does not need me to do so, but I believe concentrating on the fact that there is food upon my table is something I am grateful for and it is a reminder of such.
As for the antics I distinguish between what was clearly meant to be a disruption and what is clearly meant to be a song of gratitude. Neither do I have a problem with protesting however, there is a time and place for both. I would also be interested in a translation of what buddy was saying that got everyone so stirred up.
Intent is important in my world.
Sal- Well said. I noted no one disagreed with it.

It's interesting/telling that France thought/thinks that it needed
to enact a law to 'outlaw' street prayers. What outcome would
be expected when blocking off an intersection of traffic for this,
demonstration? At best it's passive aggressive, and totally a
set up for media whoring.
Are many 'Muslims' publicly objecting to these tactics. Or is there a
large and obvious silence like the lack of objections after 911?
