Point 3. I have no axe to grind with other peoples cultures and religions until it starts to impact people I care about. I have many Muslim friends, and Jewish friends, and Atheist friends. I feel that I try to be open and honest with all but I don't generally pick verbal fights. It is easier when you have mutual trust and respect built up over the years.[/quote]
It's fun for people to bring up the Crusades and a dozen other historical examples of cases where non-islamic radicals were assholes but unless it's something happening in the last 10 or 20 years it's not really relevant to the state of the worlds security TODAY.
Romans were assholes, who cares, I'm worried about my family today and it's not the Romans who are going to blow up markets or attack me for saying hello to someone.

Maybe we should be careful what we wish for when we start talking about "Canadian values" if they're anything like our leaders.

Point 4. Not much additional bureaucracy is required to state your Country's case to incoming peoples and at least it gives incoming folks fair warning. Sure they most likely will just say what they want you to hear but at least someone would be able to remind them of what is right and wrong if and when things go pear shaped.

Trudeau salutes the “sisters upstairs” at gender segregated mosque

Justin Trudeau skipped any 9/11 memorials marking the 15th anniversary of the horrific terrorist attacks that killed thousands of people including twenty-six Canadians but on September 12th he was at the Ottawa Mosque to celebrate the end of the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca.
While there, he spoke about Canadian values, including equality, even as men and women were completely segregated inside the mosque with men on the main floor, women upstairs, something Trudeau even alluded to.
He smiled as he saluted the “sisters upstairs” — isn’t this a man who celebrated having an equal number of men and women in his cabinet?
