very true, actually almost all countries have racism, and canada being so mulitcultural is probably one of less racist ones, Canada doesn't a rock solid written out identity because of all our cultures so there isn't as huge a identity and culture to discriminate against minorities as some other countries ex. Catholic's in America, Britain and Ireland are discrimanated agaisnt because of the large Protestant history

This is what I'm getting at. I don't want this to come out the wrong way, but lets face it, the Muslims and the Jews don't have a good track record. If you recall, the article specifically states that most of the incidents occurred in Toronto. I think there is a connection.


not anti-semitism. arabs are semites too.


It appears you are correct that arabs are semites according to dictionary.com:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=semite

However, the only definition for anti-semitism is discrimination against Jews specifically:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=anti-semitism


Edit: Hmm... I did find this definition which may just have debunked myself. It still points out Jews as the usual target, though:

"Opposition to, or hatred of, Semites, esp. Jews"
