  Tell you what though, how about you start by listing what is "primitive" about Islam since that's what started this thread. It certainly wasn't any reference to cemeteries and certainly I never claimed that people having cemeteries isn't normal - I really have no idea how you made that bizarre mental leap.
  
  Then go ahead and define the "we" you are talking about and the "predominant majority". Or is everyone a white anglo-saxon protestant in your view? How do you rationalize that with the Catholics, Jews, and others? Are the English or French? What about Italians, Chinese, Ukrainians, Blacks? Did the Muslims who have been here since Confederation not found and build up this country along with everyone else? What about the Indigenous peoples? Aren't all these groups all  part of the larger "we"?
  
  Hmm?
