A new poll shows that more than half of all Canadians distrust Muslims.
The nationwide survey indicates that as many as 52 percent of Canadians feel Muslims can be trusted "a little" or "not trusted at all." The poll showed that 48 percent of respondents said Muslims can be trusted "a lot" or "somewhat."
What's more, 42 percent of Canadians said discrimination against Muslims is "mainly their fault."
Muslims registered the lowest levels of trustworthiness of the religious groups asked about in the survey.
