Canadian Muslims are more proud of being Canadian than non-Muslim Canadians--but young Muslims are more attached to their religious identity than their parents, more likely to value Canada for its multiculturalism and diversity rather than its freedom and democracy, more likely to be pessimistic about discrimination, and more likely to say their faith is more important to them than their nationality.
More female Muslims are wearing the niqab than ten years ago, with the largest growth among young people who have been to university. In general, Muslims with less education are more likely to wear the niqab, but not in Canada.
Almost twice as many Muslims as non-Muslims think that the father should be the master of the house, and less than half as many think homosexuality should be accepted by society. 89% of Muslims report being satisfied with the direction Canada is going, compared with 56% of non-Muslims.
"Muslim Canadians," itself a discrimination, say they have experienced discrimination more than that reported by the "general population," an apparently undifferentiated mass. How it could be logically otherwise is unclear.
