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.

No, the government can't Marginalize Muslims into the category of Terrorists, this question would Be offensive to any Muslim person, shouldn't even Be on the Survay
No, but anyone who turns out to be a threat should be executed
@8TYJ7YF4yrs4Y
Muslim immigrants should be expected to declare and accept Canada's current approach to equality, and especially for women and they must also renounce support of their 'home country' with regards to terrorist actions.
@8TYFKX84yrs4Y
No, but foreign-funded religious leaders should have to take a mandatory course on Canadian values and the Charter of Rights as well as passing language tests in English or French.
@8TTKTK94yrs4Y
No, but government must improve its screening process
