Canadian Senate and Muslim Canadians

Canadian Muslims: Ten young Muslim Canadians are arrested at Pierre Elliott Trudeau airport in Montreal before they can board a plane to Syria to join radical militias, according to Huffington Post Canada. That sums up the headlines we've seen about Canadian Muslims over the past few months. A new report from the Canadian Senate sounds the alarm about the radicalization of Muslims in Canada, and recommends clamping down on Canadian imams. And when it comes to the reality of our Muslim community, it a reflection about as accurate as a funhouse mirror. The distorted narrative is hardening Canadian attitudes towards our own citizens. What Canadians don't hear enough about is the positive contribution Muslims citizens are making to our society and to the world. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
