Precaution should be taken while screening process of anyone who is entering the country because Muslims are not the only one involved in terrorism. It will create negativity among the Muslim community if they will be targeted.

 @9FKSHRRfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

We should not ban all Muslim immigration based on the actions of a few individuals. Everybody who comes to Canada should be judged according to merit no matter where their from.

 @9FGN84Zfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Muslims are not the only terrorists and we cannot decide if a person is a terrorist just by knowing his religion

 @9F9LW5DLiberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Why are Muslims the only kind of "terrorist threat?" The screening should be harder on EVERYONE, not just Muslim immigrants. Muslims are also at danger as well.

 @9FD59X3Conservativefrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

We shouldn’t ban all immigration for muslims just because of what happened in the past, this is just discriminating muslims, giving the muslims who had nothing to do with the past, more trouble in the future.

 @9FPDZTSfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Banning immigrants based on their religion is wrong because you are saying that all Muslim immigrants are terrorists.

 @9FGZ5BXfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

This is discriminatory towards Muslims and what one man did does not represent what a religion or nation is.

 @9FF3JDKfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Banning any one particular group of people promotes several problems like racism, segregation, whatever. We cannot make any generalizations about a population because it is impossible for all of a group to be “bad.”
It would be greatly hypocritical for a country that has much bigger things to worry about.

A ban on Muslim’s would not only greatly offend the international community but cause a great divide in our country. Canada needs immigrants for the survival of the country and we cannot ban any specific cultural or ethnic group.

 @9FDTJXXNew Democraticfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I think that this rule should not exist because not all muslims are terrorists and this promotes discrimination against muslims who are innocent and trying to build a home and good environment for their families

 @9F82N9KLiberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Who says only Muslims are terrorists? Terrorism covers a large demographic not limited to one specific race or religion. In our court of law you are always innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent.

 @9F7RLNWfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I think everyone should be let into the country whether their background has a minority of people who are evil

 @9F733TQfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Muslim immigrants make up 5% of canadian immigration, the main source of population growth for canada

 @9FC4K8Rfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

No, because Failure to Address Real Threats: Blanket bans on Muslim immigrants do not effectively address the threat of terrorism. Terrorism is a complex and multi-faceted issue, and terrorists can come from various backgrounds and religious affiliations. The vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists, and focusing solely on their religion as a basis for immigration bans is a misguided approach that ignores the root causes of extremism. Banning immigration based on religion goes against the principles of equality and religious freedom that many democratic societies hold dear. It unfairly discriminates against a specific religious group and infringes upon their basic human rights. This approach is fundamentally unjust and contradicts the values that many nations strive to uphold.

 @9FBYZN7from Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

No, because the majority of Muslims are not terrorists and we should make stronger regulations on terrorists in general but labelling them as Muslim terrorists is fear-mongering and creates Islamaphobic tension/violence.

 @9FC8B4Dfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Not all muslims are terrorists and this should not be applied to muslim immigrants only while other races and ethnicities could potentially threaten the national security.

 @9F9QCT7Liberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

im an arab immigrant and I haven't done anything wrong and neither have the millions of the other arabs. The possibility of one of them being arab is so low and while you should prepare in case of one, you shouldn't ban muslims and arabs entirely.

 @9FGDHMWfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

This is a form of racism. They should be doing this to all citizens trying to enter the country since terrorism isn’t just among Muslim people.

 @9FJGMSRfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

It is unconstitutional to ban immigrants because of their religious background. The screening process should be more difficult on everyone.

 @9FJ5KQLfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

there are already many muslims living in Canada and none of them are terrorists. Terrorists are only a small group of people in the muslim community, like how there are only people in the room, but the people in the room aren't the only people
