Bummer? Thanks to Spain being under Muslim control, those Christians who chose not to submit to the established Church had somewhere to go where their hides would be protected. Jews too by the way.
Should Canada revoke freedom of religion for Muslims?

Read up on that. The Jews lived there with the Muzzies until the Christians kicked them out in 1492 the day before Columbus set sail.
Not only Jews. Unorthodox Christians were also protected under Muslim rule against the orthodox Church.
It would be constitutionally-possible to ban a specific religion using s. 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (also known as the notwithstanding clause). The legislation would need to explicitly declare that it is to be of full force and effect notwithstanding s. 2(a) of the Charter. The only catch is that such an employment of the notwithstanding clause expires five years after its enactment, unless re-enacted by a resolution of the Honourable the Senate of Canada, and the House of Commons (either House individually can block the renewal, as can the Governor General of Canada).
Gnostics yes. But is there any record of Hindus and Buddhists in Europe at the time?
So were you the one who'd voted 'yes'?
The scary part is, I think ever more Canadians are prepared to accept a Christian theocracy.
Christianity if it were practised to the letter would be the biggest threat to the Canadian govt it ever faced.
Jesus was the most anti-govt man in history.
Petros. I think you misunderstand the Christian faith. It teaches love for your neighbour and to give to Caesar that which is Caesar's. Unfortunately, ever more are confusing the Christian faith with Dominionism and other such ideologies.
No, it wouldn’t.
The section of the Act (though I am not a proponent of this obviously discriminatory train of thought) could read, to have the intended effect:
“1(1) Any one who, in Canada, is a Muslim, identifies as a Muslim, or identifies otherwise as a follower of Islam commits an offence and is liable to [penalty].
“(2) Subsection 1 applies notwithstanding s. 2(a) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”
You would have to give up your right to religious choice too.
2. EVERYONE has the following fundamental freedoms:
(a) freedom of conscience and religion;(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and(d) freedom of association. That includes Satanists and witches whether you like it or not.
If one person is denied a choice you have to be denied too.
Absolutely.
Everyone would have the fundamental freedom of conscience and religion, with the exception of Islam as declared (theoretically) by the Parliament of Canada. Let’s be clear here, petros, I oppose the idea of banning any faith, I was only explaining how it would look in legislative form. Cool your heels.

Hitler had no problem removing democracy from the map in his time, so why should Canadian democracy stop a few fanatics here?
