The biggest reason they garner attention is because they originate from Islamic countries where people are killed for apostasy, women are terribly abused and sometimes lose their life if victims of rape, where you can be stoned to death for adultery, and where the majority of the population supports these views. Countries where a woman’s face cannot be shown, where she must always walk behind a man, where many forms of creative expression are forbidden, where Islamic law is above all other law. Countries where, because of this mindset, there has been no scientific or artistic contribution for centuries. Of course none of this applies to the vast majority of Canadian Muslims, but is there not some reason to be concerned if this is such a deep theme?
