Proponents argue that this strategy would bolster national security by minimizing the risk of potential terrorists entering the country. Enhanced screening processes, once implemented, would provide a more thorough assessment of applicants, reducing the likelihood of malicious actors gaining entry. Critics argue that such a policy might inadvertently promote discrimination by broadly categorizing individuals based on their nation of origin rather than specific, credible threat intelligence. It may strain diplomatic relations with the affected countries and potentially harm the perception of the nation enacting the ban, being seen as hostile or prejudiced towards certain international communities. Additionally, genuine refugees fleeing terrorism or persecution in their home countries might be unjustly denied safe haven.
@93T7VV62yrs2Y
No. There hasn't been a terrorist attack in a long time and personally using the term terrorists as an argument to keep Muslims out of the country is quite stereotypical.
@93RSLYS2yrs2Y
no. muslims are not terrorists, and they never will be. some terrorists may claim to be 'muslims', but terrorism and killing is forbidden in islam. therefore, muslim immigrants shouldn't be banned from entering the country. this question is very irrelevant and only fuels the stereotypes against muslims, remove it.
@95GYDX22yrs2Y
exactly. this is associating muslims with being terrorists and many people are agreeing with the fact muslims should be banned from entering canada. im very ashamed of educational systems here in canada
@5DDWLV24yrs4Y
It is known that Islam is a religion against women it has been proven and from someone who has read the Quran it is despicable it specifically states in multiple sections to kill the infidels to trick us, In case someone from the government is reading this from a infidel, your all a bunch of pansies!!!
@95GYDX22yrs2Y
are you muslim? the Qu'ran doesnt say such bs.
@946J5FZ2yrs2Y
The screening process should be increased & strengthened for ALL immigration applicants.
@945WDTB2yrs2Y
I think all immigrants should be equally questioned.
@94QDYMZ2yrs2Y
@93TNZM92yrs2Y
Depends, they have to come legally and we must set a limit on how many immigrants we accept as a whole Muslim, Ukrainian, Asian, exc
@93TH34V2yrs2Y
islam is just a relogen. it doesn't mean if you are a muslim means you are a terrorist.
@92274HB3yrs3Y
No because Canada should be a Muslim empire
@8HW9QQM4yrs4Y
There should definitely be more screaming and less people entering our country
@95D9S522yrs2Y
No, because terrorism isn't only limited to one religion, and goes against Canada's beleifs system. In general, any dangerous persons should be barred from entering the country until the government improves its ability to screen out terrorists.
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional, and even considering banning someone for who they are is racist.
@955L8YL2yrs2Y
This is a derogatory question which synonymies terrorism with Muslims. Disgusting. Terrorists are not from one religion or faith, every faith has terrorist.
@945G3K72yrs2Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is constitutional but immoral
@93KL4542yrs2Y
Not just Muslims that’s racist
@93KKGC42yrs2Y
Screening for all immigrants that could be terrorists or criminals should be top priority. Keeping all Canadians safe regardless of religion or gender.
@93QTTRY2yrs2Y
If they show the signs of being a terrorist then don't let them in but you can't just ban muslims because of their race/religion.
@95GYDX22yrs2Y
“If they show the signs of being a terrorist”
you are saying to not ban muslims but associate them with being terrorists. they are not terrorists.
@9F49T5R1yr1Y
yes, unless they are at high risk of death or severe injury.
Increase screening regulations for all immigrants but not to an extent that it becomes difficult for immigrants to enter the country at all
@9DZXPT61yr1Y
I have mixed opinions on this because on one hand if we did that it would be like we are grouping Muslims together and accusing them of being terrorists. But on the other hand if it is for the safety of our community than maybe it is a good idea just in case.
@9D6Y4C51yr1Y
No but we should screen and have background checks
@955G4ZR2yrs2Y
Everyone should be screened for terrorism.
@9G3L2ZM1yr1Y
No, but i do think they should run background checks and other things in order to decrease terrorist attacks.
@9G2K45S1yr1Y
No, but we should ban immigrants from “high risk” countries and Yes, and ban all immigration until the government improves its screening process.
@9FLGT5N1yr1Y
We should banned muslems forever
@9F9LLVX1yr1Y
just cause their muslim dosent mean their terrorists.
@9F955RV1yr1Y
No, don't be racist. Even if they are they are probably nice terrorists.
@9F8QJ4X1yr1Y
just because their muslim dosent mean their terroists.
@9F8PV2X1yr1Y
They should let them in but check there criminal records
@9F86WSN1yr1Y
do a background check before letting potential terrorists inside Canada.
@9F6CQCM1yr1Y
Heavily restrict, not ban. Until screening improves
@9F5BRHM1yr1Y
They should NOT be banned from Canada because of their religion. Just because many terrorists have this religion does not make them all bad. Screeing should happen to keep potential danger out.
@9F46QL81yr1Y
This question doesnt make any sense
@9F2HR8Q1yr1Y
No, but more steps should be taken to verify their identity
@9DZP4RD1yr1Y
Yes! We don't want no more Osama bin laden's in here
@9DMBVS41yr1Y
Everyone should be getting screened to enter the country.
@9D6R7J41yr1Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional beside that should be done on each immigration applicant regardless of religion.
@8SYWD4C3yrs3Y
Maybe not ban but definitely pay attention to watch lists
@8SQX6KT3yrs3Y
Have a thorough background check and have the right to refuse anyone.
@8SK7VFB4yrs4Y
@TiniestAsian4yrs4Y
No, but a thorough background check would be ideal
@8S58H544yrs4Y
The government should let them enter a safe house in the country until they provide a background check and ensure they are willing to accept the laws of the country as well as work once they are able to in order to support themselves and leave the government funded houses.
@8RD6DMW4yrs4Y
Just because they’re Muslim doesn’t make them terrorists, however the number of them coming is unacceptable while Canada’s own citizens suffer
