This is about xenophobia, no question.I don't follow Canadian politics at all, but generally speaking, are you saying it's xenophobic to draft laws that preserve cultural norms, or are you saying there's a specific and irrational fear of Muslims which qualifies it as xenophobia?
It's a law designed to appease a certain segment of voters - those who see the immigration of people's from certain places (over others) as a bad thing. The law won't likely stand a constitutional challenge so it mostly comes down to value signaling.
