In December 2006, Environics Research conducted a major national survey of Muslims and multiculturalism in Canada, as part of its ongoing syndicated FOCUS CANADA research program. The research consisted of two national telephone public opinion surveys: - National survey with a representative sample of 2,045 Canadians (18 years plus) - National survey with a representative sample of 500 Muslims living in Canada The focus of this research is on the presence and experience of Muslims in this country, and draws direct comparisons with similar research conducted in 13 other countries by the Pew Research Center (many of the same research questions were used to provide for direct country-to-country comparisons). The Pew research included Muslim over-samples in Great Britain, France, Germany and Spain. Some of the topics covered in this research: General Public: - General attitudes about immigration in Canada - Personal contact with different ethnic groups (including Muslims) - Perceived discrimination against ethnic groups - General attitudes towards Muslims - Concerns about Muslims and terrorism - Islamic identity and extremism among Muslims - Integration of Muslims and other ethnic minorities into Canadian society - Canadian foreign policy and the mission in Afghanistan Muslims - Experience of being Muslim in Canada - Concern about the future of Muslims in Canada - Self identification within the Muslim community - The role and rights of women in ethnic communities - Islamic identity and extremism among Muslims - Integration of Muslims and other ethnic minorities into Canadian society - Canadian foreign policy and the mission in Afghanistan Please note, the cases in this dataset are comprised only of Muslim respondents. Data from the other component of this survey - the survey of the general population - may be found in the dataset titled "EFC064."

In 2021, 53.3 percent of the total population in Canada were Christian, 4.9 percent were Muslim, but almost more than a third are not religious at all – with the rest stating they adhere to Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, the Jewish faith, and other Christian denominations. Canada’s religious pluralismCanada is not a very religious country in general. Canadians adhere to a wide variety of beliefs and faiths, with the majority following Christianity, followed by those who do not believe in any deity or religion at all. As with many Western countries, the younger generations are less inclined to identify with faith, and Christianity in particular is not as popular as it is among the older generations. Alternative worship for the younger generations?Canadian teenagers are no less enthusiastic about religion than their parents, and they are just as grounded in their faith as the older generations. They are, however, also just as indecisive when it comes to whether they would call themselves religious or not. Interestingly, they seem much more interested in traditional aboriginal spirituality than in the Judeo-Christian model. They also seem quite interested in another alternative to Christianity: Buddhism is quite popular among the younger generations. Whether this signifies a general trend away from Christianity and towards religious alternatives remains to be seen.

The views expressed in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of the Department of Justice Canada. This paper examines three questions – what is an “honour killing”, in order to establish the definition used in the paper; where does it occur, looking at reported incidents in Canada; and why does it occur, examining the psychopathology involved in such criminal acts committed in the present day. Many studies have documented a perception among some families in communities outside of Canada that, in order to restore the family’s honour, a family member must kill the person who allegedly brought shame or dishonour to the family vis-à-vis the larger community. Although the term “honour-based killing” is widely recognized, it should be noted at the outset that the term is also controversial. This paper will provide a preliminary overview of the apparent incidence of honour-related killings in Canada through a summary of reported case law and media reports. Honour killings are not associated with particular religions or religious practice: they have been recorded across Christian, Jewish, Sikh, Hindu and Muslim communities. Often, honour killings are not a religiously motivated crime, but are based on personal agendas, personal ego and personal mindset. In some cases, there are psychological connotations, as studies have shown that some perpetrators have undiagnosed mental illness and psychopathic traits or disorders. Gaining a better understanding of the individual, familial, community and cultural factors at play in honour killings is important for Canadian professionals who come into contact with potential victims, accomplices or offenders. From the literature review and media reports, it is evident that honour killings do occasionally occur in Canada. So far, over the past decade in Canada there have been at least a dozen reported homicides which appear to have been honour killings.

The 2003 Alberta Survey (AS) was the 16th annual provincial survey administered by the Population Research Laboratory (PRL). This omnibus survey of households in the province of Alberta continues to enable academic researchers, government departments, non-profit organizations, and the private sector to explore a wide range of research topics in a structured research framework and environment. Section F (Arab and Muslim Canadian Identity Post 9-11) will be available for public release on May 1, 2004.
