This isn't the first time it's happened here either. It's the risk every country runs in allowing immigrants from countries with less desirable 'traditions'. They also bring their disputes. The Air India bombing, Canada's worst mass murder, was carried out by a Sikh militant group Babbar Khalsa based in Canada. It could have been worse. a second bomb went off at the Narita Airport in Japan before it could be placed on another Air India flight.

This,
One thing that always kind of bothered me about the Canadian way of taking in immigrants is that they don't make it clear, or the immigrants just aren't taking it in, that the way you lived in, say Afghanistan, is completely different then how you live here.
Yes, please do bring in your religion and your customs, but please, if they don't pass our laws then don't bring them/do them here. I can understand that some people see this as "discriminating" or "hating" on peoples customs and religions. But if they really do hate hearing it so much, go back from where they came from so they can do that with others who do the same.
