In fact, all the Muslims I've ever met loved Canada and were proud citizens. I think you may be thinking that a few radicals represent the vast majority of Muslims in Canada, who are good, hardworking people.
Agreed whole heartedly. There are alot of Muslims in my new neighbourhood. They have opened the doors of stores long out of buisness, keep wonderful houses/gardens, etc, etc.

I'll bet you any money 3/4 of the churches you saw had been abandonned by Christians, and were bought and referbished by other faiths.

That's good to hear. Just don't expect everyone to be wearing "American/Canadian" type clothes. We aren't about forcing them to change here to "fit in".

do you really like diversity, or you just like it as long as Christians are still the vast majority?
the latter is called hypocrisy.

I am atheist. I like the Christians trying to convince people God exists and praise Jesus on a daily basis and all the ridiculous heaven-hell theories no more than the Muslims. They are equally crazy to me.

Even though I am not Christian, but I want Christians to be majority because Christians are the most peaceful and tolerant people on earth. I also love the Christian culture and holiday. There is nothing wrong with that.

Would you want Muslims to become majority of the population? You know that your life would be different than now. Ever heard how life is in predominately Muslim countries? Think twice before you judge.

I lived in Europe for quite some time and know what I'm talking about

yeah, too bad you didn't live in the centuries where peaceful Christians slaughtered millions of lives, robbed from poorer countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America and made black people slaves. People do have short memories.

The world's biggest disasters where most lived are lost: the two world wars, colonization, slavery trade etc, humm, seems to all have been accomplished by peaceful and tolerant Christians.

Trust me, the Christians look peaceful because they already dominate the world and possess most of the power and wealth after all the atrocities they have done, and they will try everything to keep the status quo not to be challenged by other people. Christianity never prevented Christians from killing others, or killing each other, and Christians are no absolutely no way more peaceful than any other people.

Think about this, when the mafia accumulated all the wealth by sacrificing everyone else, of course he wants to transform to a peaceful gentleman and denounce any violent behavior. Does that mean he is morally superior? If he became pissing poor again, I have no doubt the killing and robbery will happen again.

Honestly, if not for the American supremacy and its endless efforts to be a world cop meddling other countries' business at any cost, the Muslims wouldn't have such a bad reputation.

Hmmmm. I'm thinking that perhaps Canada is not the country for you. Those kind of statements make most Canadians feel a little uncomfortable, first because it pits one religion against another in a superior kind of way, also, it totally ignores the actual history of the Christianity.

Every single religion and non-religion have done bad things in history, and you cannot blame an entire religion with certain people and organized religion. You need to look into Jesus and judge from then. Jesus was an amazing person, although not every Christian act like him.

What some Christians have done 1000 years ago you cannot blame them now in 21st century. Let's not forget that Christians found the modern calendar, science, hospitals, education, charity, and many other things. Without Christians, you may not have been there now.

What predominately Christian country or Christians stone people for being gay, kill and behead those who leave their faith, throw acid on faces, stone people for adultery, persecute religious minorities, forces many women to cover themselves up, etc. etc. etc??????????????????

Canada perfectly fits me right, and you "tolerant" people needs to open your eyes and stop being brainwashed until it's too late.

Sorry I can't waste my time looking into someone who I don't believe ever existed.
Who is Jesus's father? Mother? Siblings? children? Don't tell me God is his father and his mother got pregnant without having sexual intercourse...

Yes, I can and always will.
It is YOU who claimed Christians are peace loving people. Well, don't you have to look at history in order to make some a conclusion? Maybe they love peace only because the dirty deals are done and the current peace works best for their own benefits? How do you know if challenged the Christians won't revert to their old behavior of invasion and killing?

Plus, is it 1000 years ago? I thought world war two ended only in 1945, and many Asian and African countries only gained independence 100 years ago or less?

The Japanese and Chinese didn't do those either. Has nothing to do with Christianity.

Let me ask you then, what predominantly non-Christian countries colonize poorer countries taking over a quarter of the earth land at some point, or display military troops in over 130 countries in the name of world-peace, invaded countries like Iraq for no obvious reason, and directly caused the separation of Panama from Colombia just because it wants to build a canal which benefits itself most?

You want me to believe Christian countries are in general more peace-loving than others? Gotta be kidding me.
