It's very typical for governments to point to some problem (which they may have caused deliberately) as justification for bad laws that target much more than the problem they claim it was based on. And even then the laws often don't fix the problem they claimed it was about because they either don't care about the problem or want it to continue.
This is the case here - banning public prayer isn't going to stop migration, stop migrants being violent, cause migrants to have more western views or anything like that. It's just going to make Muslims mad and give them more reason to hate the west and be violent. It's obvious the real intent of this law is to make religious people afraid of expressing their religion peacefully through prayer, speech and religious events. And it's not hard to see that's because they don't like the political views of religious people. From the article:
Premier François Legault has said he does not like to see mass gatherings of people praying in the streets because such sessions often take on a political nature.
The whole point is to silence conservatives and move the Overton window to the left.

Bet Muslims and jews and Sikhs will be exempt after some complaints from them
Complaints involving a little explosions here and there.
This law is a direct reaction to large groups of islamists making political ''prayers'' in front of a major Montréal church.
You mean that's their excuse for such an insane law
