According to Canada's 2011 National Household Survey, there were 1,053,945 Muslims in Canada, or about 3.2% of the population.
In 2015, there were 604 murders, 774 attempted murders and 219,000 assaults, 159 anti-Muslim incidents reported to police, and five individual acts of terrorism in Canada (none Islamist) that resulted in two injuries and no deaths.
It seems to me that Canadians have more to fear from Canadians than Islamic terrorists.

It seems to me that Canadians have more to fear from Canadians than Islamic terrorists.
