    Is there no IS recruitment in Canada?No extreme side of Islam whatsoever?
    Strange?

    estimates of 130 canadians in ISIS , they aint catholics :pac:

    You know, when people dismiss the surveys without even reading them, I tend to err on the side of caution and not believe people's personal anecdotes in favour of statistics.

    You are confusing a survey with a news article.

    http://www.icmunlimited.com/media-centre/press/isis-poll-for-rossiya-segodnya
    An ICM poll on behalf of the Russian news agency Rossiya Segodnya tested the awareness of the group ISIS (previously known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant), in three European nations; Great Britain, France and Germany. The poll revealed that overall 2% and 7% say they are very favourable and somewhat favourable towards ISIS but a greater 26% and 43% are somewhat unfavourable and very unfavourable towards ISIS.

    ICM interviewed 3,007 respondents in three countries; GB (1,000), France (1,006) and Germany (1,001) by telephone between 11th-21st July 2014. Surveys were conducted across each country and the results have been weighted to the profile of each nation. ICM is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules.

    GB – respondents were selected by random digit dialling (85% landline, 15% mobile) and interviews were conducted by a live interviewer. Responses were weighted to age, gender, region, social class, tenure, employment and cars in household.

    France – respondents were selected by random digit dialling (80% landline, 20% mobile) and interviews were conducted by a live interviewer. Responses were weighted to age, gender, profession of head of household and Agglomeration category.

    Germany – respondents were selected by random digit dialing (100% landline) and interviews were conducted by an automated voice service (IVR). Responses were weighted to age, gender and region.

    The details are non existent, but hey it's statistics.

    No doubt for the next 10 years we will be reading articles quoting this as up to date fact.

    Not sure if it's been posted or not, but the below article is from March and well worth a read. It gives an amazing insight into what ISIS is trying to achieve. It's pretty terrifying.

    So Europeans do not tolerate nor practice murder or burglary, just like Europeans do not tolerate not practice the likes of "Sharia police".

    They are a European country. Thankfully most other European countries have got rid of the death penalty over the last 25-40 years. Hopefully Belarus and the USA can continue that trend.

    I agree with that.

    Opressed?

    Do me a favour. There is no-one "opressed" in Western Europe. What there are are people who wish to live outside of Western norms, well do you know what? Fúck them. Integrate, or go elsewhere where your ideas are welcome tbh, but don't try to impose medieval, religious nonsense on the rest of us, then get all uppity when normal people don't want to live like that.

    Do you not know about the Sykes - Picot agreement? It's not about being opressed in Europe. It's about being opressed in their own homes.

    Good job on the back seat modding, but do feel free to explain his dozen previous convictions and criminal history prior to converting to Islam.

    I'd love to tell you there was some reason that could easily be applied to France and the rest of Europe but it just boils down to luck.

    It's because of Canada's strict immigration control, something the left vehemently oppose here in Europe. When Nigel Farage was calling for a Canadian or Australian immigration system, many left wing morons called him and UKIP racist for doing so, yet the system Farage supports is the closest thing to a multicultural utopia the left fantasizes about. Although, the new left wing government seem to be as wacky as European ones, so I expect Canada to open its borders a bit and suffer the consequences.

    So what you're saying is, Muslims are not the problem and that it is something else?

    Though it really does depend what kind of border controls you are talking about. I think it is 20% of people in Canada were not born here, with the number being 50% in Toronto, and with regards to refugees for example, Canada has a higher per capita refugee population than all but six European countries. Like I said previously, Trudeau won in part because he wanted to take on more refugees from the middle east than the 10,000 that the previous party had aimed for. It would be interesting to see what connections there are between Canada's lack of problems other countries with high diversity struggle with (including the US), and with the attitudes of those whose families have lived here for generations.

    All the attackers identified were born in France, and the Syrian ID found was fake, so I'm not sure what use the Canadian or Australian immigration system would do.

    False. Read this mornings news.
    The third suicide bomber who blew himself up outside of Paris’ Stade de France stadium last week has been identified by BBC as a man who arrived at the Greek island of Leros together with another attacker called Ahmad al Mohammad.

    If the Canadians have their stuff together then perhaps we should follow their lead? Considering that circa 70% of "refugees" are young adult males, that would mean a lot of deportations.
