When those people live and operate increasingly in a country like Canada, shouldn't something be done about it? Or should we just ignore it because it's politically incorrect to criticize it?
Maybe I am missing your point. As far as I can see, many groups use violence to intimidate journalists and silence criticism. Neo-nazis through to animal rights activists. Occasionally policemen and government agents. And in traditionally free and open countries.

When they do this, the force of law is brought to bear on them. That's what is, or should be, done.

It's not politically incorrect to criticise the violence used to intimidate the journalist, and I deplore it. I hope the perpetrators are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. "Something should be done" to reduce the influence of all fanatics who resort to violence.

However, what I also deplore is the apparent attempt to indicate that this behaviour is somehow characteristic only of Muslims.
