Not a chance. Not until they at least have a Reformation and do a King James do over of the Koran. Until then they are a bunch of backward 8th century cult followers.
Your magical Reformation that fixed Christianity involved the specific King James translation?
King James "did over" the Bible?

Pretty much all your points trying to render Islam as positive
I think you miss the point.

If you look at the Quran or the Old Testament, much is clearly bizarre, primitive and out dated. So most Christians and Muslims pick and choose what they believe.

Maybe Middle Eastern religious dictatorships like Saudi and Iran enforce codes of conduct, but many of the residents do not believe the bullshit, but are required to go along with it nevertheless. Official cultures change slowly. Homosexual sex got you a lengthy prison term in the UK or Canada as late as the 1960's and probably far later in the US red States.

I didn't render Islam as positive or negative.
I said religions (whichever religion that may be) tend to have outdated codes, but the majority of the followers of the faith aren't hanging on to every word in the text and are perfectly good people.

Is Sharia Law (code) outdated?

I see all three(and all the rest) as a silent threat if allowed to enter governance. Religion has no place in running a nation.
I couldn't agree more. So let's get the zionists out of western governments.

I don't think there are many in Canadian politics. Beyond that I see Israel as a nice little bulwark and distraction against Muslim expansion. Also they do produce lots of Nobel prize winning science. And are a nice test bed for weaponry.

So it's a compromise to let things be.

Just like Christians stand around let shit happen.
Because individuals neither have the power to change global religions, nor do people belonging to a religion act as a hive mind.
You still just can't admit that it's just another Evangelical faith, just a different flavor.

The Reformation is acknowledged as the breaking of the churches hold as a supreme power. It instead fostered the notion of the power of the individual and their rights to free worship.

And that notion led to democracy. The separation of church and state, and everything you believe in. It is the cradle of modern liberal democracy.
Are you confusing the Reformation and the Enlightenment?

Other immigrants integrate over a period of time.
When Trudeau was elected the first thing he said is that Canada will become a post-national state. He was right on that. Canada is balkanized. We got so many different immigrants from all parts of the third world and they formed groups and stick together. They do not integrate. Look at Brampton. Is that what you call integration? Lol

No you don't.
Most of our immigrants are from 3rd world countries and we are still a 1st world country.
For now. But since Trudeau came in power poverty has increased by a lot. Canada has never had so much wealth inequality till now. You cannot tax a nation into prosperity.
