My Skepticism on Blind Trust Project

One of my Facebook friends enthusiastically shared this on his timeline. Here's my comment on his post:

I don't know what these social experiments are trying to prove. Either these social experiments are wrong or polls suggesting Harper's Conservatives leading the race in an election year are wrong, especially since, Harper just tabled a new bill, which will easily become a new law, which are much more strict & invasive in nature, all in the name of stopping terrorism ... we all know which ethnicity and/or religious group will be most affected by these laws.

A major problem with these social experiments is that Canadians have come across & are fine with Muslims, but there are only like 5 big enough cities in Canada, which have a significant enough population of Muslims where non-Muslims can come across Muslims; Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, & perhaps Edmonton. But a lot of non-Muslims & voters live in smaller cities like Thunder Bay, Red Deer, & Kamloops etc. Those people have not interacted with Muslims as much, so their views about Muslims are quite skewed & biased.

Secondly, there are many different types of Muslims. There are Muslims who drink alcohol & eat pork without any hesitation. There are Muslim sisters who don't hesitate for a minute putting on a bikini on public beaches (knee-length skirts are actually far more conservative for them). Non-Muslims prefer those kinds of Muslims because those Muslims are considered Moderate / Modern Muslims. Problem happens when Muslim sisters who like to wear veil or brother who wants a short break at work to pray one of the daily prayers or even Friday prayers or have a full beard. Those Muslims are considered as hard-liners.

Question then becomes are the attitude of non-Muslims similar for both kinds of Muslims? Are they as kind & welcoming to a hard-partying, mini-skirt clad Muslim sister as they are to a veil clad sister?
