Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Charles Taylor

Charles Taylor: The accusation came from renowned philosopher Charles Taylor, who co-chaired Quebec 2007 commission on reasonable accommodation of cultural and religious minorities, according to CTV. "Ask yourself what are the recruiters for Islamic State saying? They're saying to Muslims , 'Look, they despise you, they think that you're foreign, you're dangerous, you're not accepted here, so why don't you come with us?"' Taylor said following a speech to the annual summit of the Broadbent Institute, a social democratic think-thank and - Prime Minister Stephen Harper was accused Saturday of playing into the hands of terrorist recruiters with inflammatory comments about the face-covering veil worn by some Muslim women. Taylor said Harper is fuelling anti-Muslim sentiment and that, in turn, makes alienated Muslim Canadians easier targets for recruitment by radical Islamist terrorists. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
