To their credit, Muslim women fought in 2005 to stop Sharia in its tracks Quebec, not wanting to find themselves in the state Baroness Cox described in the UK: "Many women say: 'We came to this country to escape these practices only to find the situation is worse here." But others have clearly not abandoned their aspirations to give it a go in Canada:
A newly released survey suggests a large number of Muslims living in Canada will not disown Al-Qaida.
The study, conducted by the MacDonald Laurier Institute, found 65% of Muslims questioned said they would “repudiate absolutely” the terrorist organization, while 35% would not do so.
“From a security perspective, it is difficult to know if a 65% rate of repudiation (of Al-Qaida) is re-assuring or a 35% failure to repudiate troubling,” wrote study authors Christian Leuprecht, associate professor of the Royal Military College of Canada and Conrad Winn, Carleton University professor and president of COMPAS, a public opinion research firm.
“The most radical political views tended to be expressed by relatively secular people, often equipped with higher education in the social sciences, while devout Muslims were sometimes the most articulate advocates for Canada and democracy.” According to the Ottawa based think tank, only a small minority of Muslim newcomers to Canada reject Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Iranian regime.
The survey, which was released Tuesday, found 62% wanted some form of Shariah law in Canada, 15% of them saying it should be mandatory for all Muslims.
The report also states support for extremism is just as high among Muslims born in Canada, or other Western countries, as it is among those hailing from oppressive dictatorships.When is someone going to do a similar poll in the United States?

Pastorius,
This article is highly misleading and inaccurate. In fact, all the Muslims in Canada desire their self-evident, universal, natural rights, just like everyone else. To claim that diversity of opinion exists is more than wrong, it is racist. Stop the hate!!
: ) OK I WILL STOP NOW AS I AM CLEARLY JUST BEING ANNOYING !!!
Yes, this is what I'd expect. We often confuse cultural citizenship and bureaucratic citizenship. When folks get their American paperwork, it does not change their cultural affiliation. Our founders instituted swearing in oaths for this reason. But, we no longer follow them.
The funny thing is that multiculturalism is based on the idea that cultural ideals persist even as you move to a new nation. When in Rome, you stay a foreigner, no matter how many generations. But, if you suggest that folks could also carry negative cultural traits, you're called a racist.
This why us culturists always accuse multiculturalists of having a very thin understanding of the importance and reality of diversity. If diversity is real, culturism is rational.
