Ethnic diversity harms a country's social cohesion

Except what you quoted is only a small variance on basic, completely uncontroversial psychological fact. You will not find a social psychologist to contradict it that most people prefer to live among those who are much like them and share their values and beliefs. It's not like these guys just came up with some numbers through creative questioning and then went with it.

I don't doubt that a lot of people are xenophobic, but people who grow up in cities with a lot of diversity tend to outgrow that.

Re: "shared values and beliefs", I have a non-religious, caucasian background, and yet I have a lot more in common with a lot of Indo-Canadians than with a lot of Trudeau's despised "old-stock Canadians".

For example, I'm an Oiler fan. When I'm in Edmonton and i go to a hockey game I see lots of Sikhs there. The ones that have businesses of their own, or work hard and bring in decent incomes, won't typically be Liberal voters.

Contrast that group with a room full of teachers from UVIC, who grew up being brainwashed in a Lib factory and are now union members. I'd avoid the second group like the plague, yet the guys who published this work would consider them my homeys.

Pants and shorts both have the same purpose.  Same with hijabs and burqas.

Yet you can tell the difference between the former, and not the latter. I don't see you going around describing shorts as if they are pants.

I can see using statistics that there is no trend for Muslims to become a majority.  If immigration trends steer that way I would want to change it like you because i don't want to live under sharia law, but i'm not paranoid making up scenarios in my head where there's no evidence of them occurring.

A hijab is a sexual fetish that caters to men's fragile egos.  There is no reason why a woman should have to go around looking like a walking apology for being female, nor hide that she is female.

In the ME it is also an instrument for religious bigotry at the best of times, at it's worst it is an instrument for mass systemic rape.

If you got a great deal on a house in Iran, Pakistan, or Iraq, let's say $10K Canadian for a 4 bedroom home, and you moved there, you would routinely face serious discrimination if you didn't wear one. You'd also get threats and possibly face jail time. You'd be deathly afraid to let your daughter go out in public without one. And that's at the best of times. In times of strife, like the partitioning of Pakistan, Bangladesh separation or when islamic state took over Syria, the lack of a hijab will, with 100% certainty, make you a target for rape and/or murder.

Indeed.  Moral panic is the mind killer, never mind that any such overreach would incite revolution, which ain't necessarily a bad thing.

One doesn't need a Muslim majority before Islam becomes an issue re: your freedoms that you hold dear... et al.

Ask France...or any other European nation.

Not gonna happen here. What will happen here is that more and more Muslims will win elections and the system will be used to institute Sharia compliant laws...like M-103 becoming a law rather than a 'study'.

A senior member working with an RCMP intelligence team has been charged under the Security of Information Act — an event that is expected to have a ripple effect across Canada's intelligence sector for years.

Cameron Ortis — described by sources as a civilian director general at the RCMP — faces three charges under the rarely used law which deal with communicating or confirming special operational information.

....

Ortis is known for his expertise in East Asian affairs, critical infrastructure and the use of "bots" online. Sources who are familiar with his work said he would have had knowledge of code words and operations.

 

I wonder who he is working for and selling secrets to?  Sounds like the Chinese, could be the Russians.

Quote

 

Jeffery Delisle, who in 2012 pleaded guilty to selling secrets about Canada and its allies to Russia, was the first to be convicted under the act in 2012.

In 2007, the then-35-year-old sub-lieutenant walked into the Russian embassy in Ottawa, offered to sell top-secret classified information and set the price at $10,000 US.

It's already happening here, your Muslim fearmongering about Sharia on the other hand, is a lot less likely to happen. White Atheist Academics are a far bigger problem in Canada than Sharia Supporting Muslims, now and in the future, be real.

The RCMP has laid seven charges against Cameron Ortis of Ottawa over alleged breaches of the Security of Information Act and the Criminal Code that would have occurred as part of his work as a senior intelligence official for the Mounties.

Senior counsel with the Public Prosecution Service, John MacFarlane told the court Mr. Ortis “obtained, stored, processed sensitive information.”

“The crown believes that he intended to communicate that information to people he shouldn’t be communicating to,” Mr. MacFarlane said.

A researcher with ties to China was recently escorted out of the National Microbiology Lab (NML) in Winnipeg amid an RCMP investigation into what's being described as a possible "policy breach."

Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, her husband Keding Cheng and an unknown number of her students from China were removed from Canada's only level-4 lab on July 5, CBC News has learned.

A Level 4 virology facility is a lab equipped to work with the most serious and deadly human and animal diseases. That makes the Arlington Street lab one of only a handful in North America capable of handling pathogens requiring the highest level of containment, such as Ebola.

Security access for the couple and the Chinese students was revoked, according to sources who work at the lab and do not want to be identified because they fear consequences for speaking out.

Sources say this comes several months after IT specialists for the NML entered Qiu's office after-hours and replaced her computer. Her regular trips to China also started being denied.

They aren't being imported in huge enough numbers to ever get to the point you are talking about, so unless it seriously ramps up, your dystopian vision is never going to come to pass.

I've made some great friends who are Mooslanbs.   Afghans actually.

The girl who takes care of me at the car dealership, does all my trade ins, treats me right, wonderful woman, my wife loves her to.

Then another buddy who runs a pizza parlour, it's all Afghans working there, his family friends, great people.

They are all Afghans  of the liberalized Western variety, fled the civil war and Taliban.

Freedom lovers. No time whatsoever for the Muj, they hate the communists too.

My people.

Yeah, me too.  Well, I'll argue on here to defend it, at least.  He's still an arsehole.  Non arseholes really don't make any difference.

If this, if that....we shall see.

More Muslims will bring even more Muslims who can make conversions who can convert others. It's an attractive religion to those that feel slighted in any way...with seductive...literally...rewards.

Plus, it's the stated goal of Islam: to take over the entire world and eliminate all other religions including atheism...the godless.
