Chrystia Freeland and Bill Maher

American values: Maher quoted a poll that suggested a majority of Americans don't feel that Syrian refugees share American values. Freeland challenged Maher when he went on to say that it nonsense to suggest that all religions are alike and share values, according to Huffington Post Canada. She said in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris it important to recognize the Islamic State doesn't represent Muslims and that it important to stand up for diversity. Chrystia Freeland was part of a panel on "Real Time" with Bill Maher that aired Friday night. Canada is poised to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of this year. Maher and Freeland clashed when the late night comic said there is a small percentage of Muslims who support ISIL and practices like honour killings and forced marriages. "I think now it is incredibly dangerous and very wrong to persecute Muslims and say there is something wrong with being a Muslim," Freeland said, who appeared on a panel with former Maine governor Angus King and Conservative blogger Ben Domenech. The government is expected to announce on Tuesday the mechanics of bringing them into the country. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
