Whether it's good or bad, is up for debate, but Europe is definitely trending towards it.
I wouldn't say it's scary, yet... But I do see a danger of a growing influx of people who aren't familiar with Western institutions such as British common law and plural government. Even talking to some of my Muslim friends, you can detect a sincere misunderstanding or even hostility to plural perspectives.

It's something which definitely has to be met with more education and integration of Muslim communities, before it reaches the point of ethnic or political conflict between Muslims and "integrated Canadians."
