After reading your article I believe I agree with some of your points but others I'm not too sure about. While I agree that Muslims outnumbering natural Europeans in Europe seems the likely trend and there seems to be apathy on many European's part. The ultra liberal believe so deeply in multiculturalism and the such that they will allow their country to become part of a new Eurabia. Some will point to the Muslim population in the United States as proof that Muslims and others can coexist peacefully in a country but many fail to realize that the United States by historical accounts has assimilated most ethnic and religious sects into its own culture. The problem in Europe and other places in the world is that the Muslims are a distinct group who do not become a part of the country but try and use the country's freedoms for its own purposes.
I have also seen estimates that 10-15% of Muslims consistently agree with or are radical in the sense you described. However, I'm not sure if your plan to ban the Koran as it exists now would be effective. I am also interested in knowing if your group entertains ideas of deporting Canada's Muslim population if your current plan of action fails.
While I can't argue against the fact that African-Americans and Native Americans never bombed their oppressors I think you almost misrepresent the situation. Native Americans did fight back as many Muslims believe they are doing, a fight against people who have done them harm. African-Americans also fought back if you read on some of the slave uprisings and black militant groups in the U.S. While I agree that they never bombed anyone I really don't think its because of any principle or moral reasoning, rather a lack of means and timeliness (no suicide bombers in the 1500's).
I'm also interested in knowing how much support your group has within Canada and if banning the Koran from Mosques etc using hate crime laws succeeds what do you believe will be the Muslim response in your country and elsewhere?
Thanks for reading/answering, this turned out longer than expected. :/
