The hypothetical situation that popped into my head was this:
What if the Calgary Muslim Council posted a message on their website saying "the enemies of our religion shall die in a pool of their own filthy blood" and "non-believers have no place on Allah's earth", and a few days later an associate of theirs attacked a man outside a church, would the CPS really just arrest that man and not take any further action?
I think I would be worried if the Calgary Muslim Council uttered those threats, much like I'm worried about this lot. The CPS seems to be treating them like any other gang, the problem is that while other gang violence may result in the death of innocent bystanders, other gangs don't TARGET innocent bystanders on the basis of their skin color.

If an attack were to occur in Calgary in the name of Islam, the police could, at most, do two things. 1.) arrest the perpetrator and 2.) Maybe infiltrate a mosque.
They would not round up every Muslim...
