Re: In U.S., fear and distrust of Muslims runs deep
*The ignorance level in the US far exceeds that in Canada, and as a matter of fact, probably far exceeds that in the world. *
if by ignorance you mean the type of hatred you see in racist punks here, you are absolutely incorrect. As far as i recall canada was not attacked and has not been attacked so why all the anti muslim sentiment there?
*So to talk about Canada's ignorance level when most of the ignorant ones in the US don't even know where Canada is, is quite funny. *
They dont know where Canada is because in the greater sceme of things Canada does not matter, it is an impotent country which is an 'also ran' when it comes to any feild in the world, drom since and technology, to business and entertainmet.
canadains seem to have this cip on their shoulders against americans, but you know what, look at the rest of the world too, in general no ones gives a rats ass about canada.
** Yeah, ignorance is everywhere, but when the level of ignorance is so rampant in society, from the uneducated, to the well educated, to the goverment, it's likely to be more common.**
canada does not seem to be doing much better. read some of the stats and opinion surveys in Canada first. And this is a country that is not even under attack, canadians dont see masked men saying death to Canada ... so what is their beef.
