So, you admit a Muslim cannot practice Islam the best way in Canada or other Western countries?
how could you do that while your coworker who's sitting next to you is half naked?
don't get me wrong and i believe only death can stop me from practicing my religion. it is non-negotiable.
however, all i am saying is that sometimes we need to be open minded about the potential consequences of our actions.
this example has nothing to do with this particular issue but i am going to share it with you anyway.
couple of years ago i worked at a warehouse somewhere in Minnesota and two-thirds of the employees were Somalis. the company didn't have specific rules regarding prayers but we were allowed to leave the assembly lines group by group without having to clock out anytime during prayers. it had been like that for years before i even joined the company. most of the Somalis were hardworking, honest employees but in their midst were some thugs who knew nothing about prayers and took advantage of the opportunity. some of us knew what they were doing but the company didn't find out until later. what they would do was that, when some of their groups went out to pray, they would go outside and smoke cigarettes. it worked for them for awhile until one day one of the managers saw them and as they say, "the rest was history."
