One of those articles Thunderball included made reference to 600,000 Muslims living in Canada. So what's that, 1 Canadian in 50 is Muslim? How many of them are extremists? I don't know, but I'll bet it's a pretty low number, so I'm going to make the assumption here that significantly less than 1% of Canada's population is interested in imposing Sharia law and/or living in a Muslim theocracy. The people who are "for it" aren't exactly influential or particularly intelligent either, so I just don't see the "we'll be electing a Sheik soon enough" worry to be based in reality.

You can't fool us, you're on of those Little-Mosque-on-the-Prairie-watching fundamentalist sympathizers, aren't you?!
I actually think the whole shariah law debate was extremely healthy, because it forced the ontario government to do something quite difficult for a government in Canada to do: maintain equality by restricting rights, rather than expanding them.
