Religious Radicals: Vancouver Conference

Vancouver Sun Dept: Given that many newcomers arrive from countries where homosexuality is illegal, how can Canada support immigrants who feel forced to hide that they are gay or lesbian?, according to Vancouver Sun. These are some of the long-disputed topics that will be debated at a massive Vancouver conference on immigration sponsored by Metropolis B.C., one of five Canadian think-tanks financed by governments to research and create dialogue on multicultural issues and how can Canada stop immigrant groups from turning out religious radicals, with some bent on terrorism in the name of God? Are Canadians being too laissez-faire about whether fresh arrivals know English or French? Some believe the limited expectations Canada places upon new arrivals lead to ethnic enclaves. As reported in the news.
