0:00 / Press TV – “Quebec has the second largest Muslim population in Canada. The census bureau says about 200,000 Muslims live in Quebec. It is perhaps the fastest growing religion in Canada and is expected to triple within the next 20 years, but critics say with all of its diversity, Quebec is also perhaps one of the most Islamaphobic provinces in the country. The president of the Muslim Council of Montreal is setting the record straight.”

All, just pure lies and fear-mongering and wrong statements all over the Internet. No facts at all.”
