Canada, and Islamophobia: Is it Islamophobia if the concern is real?

After Importing Thousands Of Refugees, Canadians Now Say Muslim Immigrants Have ‘Fundamentally Different Values’

Say it ain't so, Canada!

More below the fold.

"After welcoming almost 12,000 refugees to their region, three-quarters of Canadians living in the province of Ontario now say that Muslim immigrants hold fundamentally different values and a majority believe mainstream Islam promotes violence, according to a new survey to be released this week."

What could account for this?

"The Toronto Star, which first reported the survey results, claimed that negative views of Islam were equivalent to Islamophobia. The lede for the story read: “While Canada rides a wave of global praise for welcoming Syrian refugees, a new poll suggests we’re also facing a wave of something sinister — Islamophobia.”

Canadian officials are also interpreting the results to mean an increase in Islamophobia. “There is an epidemic of Islamophobia in Ontario. Only a third of Ontarians have a positive impression of the religion and more than half feel its mainstream doctrines promote violence (an anomaly compared to other religions),” the survey said.

According to a report this past May, Toronto has witnessed a steady flow of domestic violence complaints from Syrian women. The city is averaging one complaint per week from Syrian women claiming to be victims of domestic violence."

A steady stream of rape reports flooding out of the EU, a Parisian mass homicide, an armada of other mass murders, and a raft of domestic violence complaints might get ones attention. 

Muslims need to complete their Islamic Reformation before this will change.
