Proponents argue that this strategy would bolster national security by minimizing the risk of potential terrorists entering the country. Enhanced screening processes, once implemented, would provide a more thorough assessment of applicants, reducing the likelihood of malicious actors gaining entry. Critics argue that such a policy might inadvertently promote discrimination by broadly categorizing individuals based on their nation of origin rather than specific, credible threat intelligence. It may strain diplomatic relations with the affected countries and potentially harm the perception of the nation enacting the ban, being seen as hostile or prejudiced towards certain international communities. Additionally, genuine refugees fleeing terrorism or persecution in their home countries might be unjustly denied safe haven.
@93RSLYS2yrs2Y
no. muslims are not terrorists, and they never will be. some terrorists may claim to be 'muslims', but terrorism and killing is forbidden in islam. therefore, muslim immigrants shouldn't be banned from entering the country. this question is very irrelevant and only fuels the stereotypes against muslims, remove it.
@95GYDX22yrs2Y
exactly. this is associating muslims with being terrorists and many people are agreeing with the fact muslims should be banned from entering canada. im very ashamed of educational systems here in canada
@93T7VV62yrs2Y
No. There hasn't been a terrorist attack in a long time and personally using the term terrorists as an argument to keep Muslims out of the country is quite stereotypical.
@955G4ZR2yrs2Y
Everyone should be screened for terrorism.
@94QDYMZ2yrs2Y
@946J5FZ2yrs2Y
The screening process should be increased & strengthened for ALL immigration applicants.
@945WDTB2yrs2Y
I think all immigrants should be equally questioned.
@93TNZM92yrs2Y
Depends, they have to come legally and we must set a limit on how many immigrants we accept as a whole Muslim, Ukrainian, Asian, exc
@93TH34V2yrs2Y
islam is just a relogen. it doesn't mean if you are a muslim means you are a terrorist.
@95D9S522yrs2Y
No, because terrorism isn't only limited to one religion, and goes against Canada's beleifs system. In general, any dangerous persons should be barred from entering the country until the government improves its ability to screen out terrorists.
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional, and even considering banning someone for who they are is racist.
@955L8YL2yrs2Y
This is a derogatory question which synonymies terrorism with Muslims. Disgusting. Terrorists are not from one religion or faith, every faith has terrorist.
@945G3K72yrs2Y
No, banning immigrants based on their religion is constitutional but immoral
@93KL4542yrs2Y
Not just Muslims that’s racist
@93KKGC42yrs2Y
Screening for all immigrants that could be terrorists or criminals should be top priority. Keeping all Canadians safe regardless of religion or gender.
@92274HB2yrs2Y
No because Canada should be a Muslim empire
@8TY7ML2Conservative3yrs3Y
Being Muslim should not be a deciding factor. The proper screening should apply equally to all people looking to immigrate to Canada
@93QTTRY2yrs2Y
If they show the signs of being a terrorist then don't let them in but you can't just ban muslims because of their race/religion.
@95GYDX22yrs2Y
“If they show the signs of being a terrorist”
you are saying to not ban muslims but associate them with being terrorists. they are not terrorists.
@9G3L2ZM6mos6MO
No, but i do think they should run background checks and other things in order to decrease terrorist attacks.
@9G2K45S6mos6MO
No, but we should ban immigrants from “high risk” countries and Yes, and ban all immigration until the government improves its screening process.
@9FLGT5N7mos7MO
We should banned muslems forever
@9F9LLVX7mos7MO
just cause their muslim dosent mean their terrorists.
@9F955RV7mos7MO
No, don't be racist. Even if they are they are probably nice terrorists.
@9F8QJ4X7mos7MO
just because their muslim dosent mean their terroists.
@9F8PV2X7mos7MO
They should let them in but check there criminal records
@9F884827mos7MO
@9F86WSN7mos7MO
do a background check before letting potential terrorists inside Canada.
@9CMKSDZ10mos10MO
Most terriost attacks are because of oppression, I dont believe that a whole comunity should be turned away due to countries reputations or groups. Canada should increase screening to protect all citizens.
@9CMHNZS10mos10MO
Keep them on probation until we can screen out the posibilty of them being dangerous
@9CFBDJ410mos10MO
Only if they bother other muslims
@9CF8HFN10mos10MO
I think they should prioritize the ability to screen faster since many immigrants a looking for asylum.
@9CF74WN10mos10MO
No but we should impose restrictions on HIGH RISK countries.
@9CDZX2ZConservative10mos10MO
no because its wrong and discriminatory, if we are to screen people before coming to canada, its either you screen no one or screen anyone regardless of faith or background
No, they shouldn't be banned. Only high risk immigrants should be banned.
@9CBKSKL11mos11MO
Only if we have a reson to belive thay are a threat
@9C67CW5Conservative11mos11MO
No, but have improved screening processes.
no unless they're related to terrorism
@9C55ZTK11mos11MO
Not just Muslim immigrants, all immigrants
@9C3WD8BConservative11mos11MO
Higher screening for high risk countries no matter what.
@9C2DCN511mos11MO
Only if there is a serious problem in airports or boarders in a specific area where terrorists are more active.
@9BZNVNC11mos11MO
no, but they need to make a better screening process and provide therapy to the immigrants for extra safety
@99MNHXH1yr1Y
Muslim immigrants must be very heavily screened so that it is sure that they will become good citizens. Regularly review them to make sure they are good citizens.
@99LRPKF1yr1Y
No, but not allow rampant entry either. As long as immigration does not endanger the populace
@99LLMKL1yr1Y
no, we should provide heavy background checks on people from "high risk" countries
@998LVGM1yr1Y
Muslims are not terrorists. This is a ridiculous stereotype that we should never pass into law as it would result in many deaths. If there is an uptick in terrorist attacks after a mass immigration wave from a certain country, then impose stricter immigration laws on that country regardless of the religions of the individual immigrants.
@998HHHF1yr1Y
Every individual has to be accesses to comply to Canadian rules as per our civil rights constitution
