The question Rouge, is whether these people see it as A. "something cultural that doesn't concern us" or as B. "a religious dogma threatening to conquer our lifestyle."

If the left sees it as A, they're liable to support it under the auspices of multiculturalism, tolerance and of all things, libertarianism. If they see it as B, they'll fight harder against it than the right, and they'll be fighting it hard regardless.

Either way, I don't see the lunatic fringe of Islam rising up and declaring the Canadian caliphate anytime soon. However, I will not be surprised to see a continued attack on free speech by using existing measures, such as the Human Rights Commission to further their agenda. But their agenda as it stands is completely unpalatable to a vast and overwhelming majority... including a sizable percentage of muslims.
