The three girls were going to join ISIS.

Whose interests are Qatar and Turkey serving?Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
March 21, 2015
The father of the current Amir of Qatar once complained to me that Canada would not approve of his small, but oil-rich state opening an embassy in Ottawa. Some years later, Qatar was successful in its bid for diplomatic presence in our capital; it headquartered its new embassy in a five-star hotel next to Parliament Hill and a geographical stone's throw from CSIS, our national spy agency.

Freedom of religion versus respect for othersMohammed Azhar Ali Khan
March 11, 2015
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is battling a Muslim woman who at a citizenship ceremony refused to remove her niqab (a veil commonly worn by Muslim women in public that covers the whole face apart from the eyes). She said that she would not violate her religious beliefs. But the losers in the long run are likely to be Canadian Muslims, whom Islamophobes accuse of trying to impose their customs on Canadians. The Federal Court of Canada has ruled that it's "unlawful" to force immigrants to remove the veil while taking the oath of citizenship because Canada's immigration law empowers citizenship judges to accommodate religious needs.
