Maybe so. But, I'd guess they'd be pretty close to the USA numbers (and, of course, way ahead of Europe).

I'll look for Canadian numbers but the European comparison focuses on the UK, France, Germany and Spain.

"A large majority of Muslim Americans believe that hard work pays off in this society. Fully 71% agree that most people who want to get ahead in the United States can make it if they are willing to work hard."

In Europe bigotry and xenophobia is mostly an "in your face" phenomenon (at least some honesty there!). In Canada, it is subtle, kind of "discrimination with a smile" as it is known in VM circles (hypocritical). In the USA the legal channels are effective in deterring discrimination. I have seen cases where acts of discrimination in employment were meted with $1M damages for violation of equality rights.
