    That's what happen when you try to politicize human crimes to push your political agenda.

    I expect more silence on the subject, it's not prime news, he is of the wrong religion.

    Why do people talk about what happens on other boards like reddit?

    Is that some sort of humanistic litmus test of what's happening on social media?

    Glad we agree.
    No, you're only half right. Remember the narratives.

    Other than that, most of us are non-plussed because we've seen a variety of political violence. Yes, there were two Islamic attacks in Canada not too long ago (made by Canadians who radicalized online, mind you, not immigrants or refugees), but we also had the FLQ (extremist separatists) causing havoc back in 1970 which prompted a period of War Measures. Two deacades back, we had some crazy mysoginist guy shoot up women in a university. A few years ago some dude attempted to murder the newly elected Prime Minister the night of her victory, killing someone in the process. And those are in Québec alone.

    Bottom line is, we haven't suffered the traumatism of 9/11 or the butcheries in Western Europe. We've seen political violence comes from all spectrums, so the majority don't associate it with Islam in particular. Helps that we generally do a good job of integrating immigrants, which is admitedly made easier by the fact we mostly accept those from french-speaking Muslim countries such as Algeria or Lebannon.
    Actual vetting and standards helped unlike Europe.

    This guy will be the new Dylan Roof, the example that gets trotted out from now on when someone dares to bring up Islamic terror incidents lol. Can't wait to see Cenk and Ana flip out.

    The apartment where Belkhadir was sojourning has been raided by the police. Two people were cuffed, but we don't know anything else.

    It seems that we won't get much for the time being.

    And this, folks, is why we don't jump to conclusions.

    How often do you have to be wrong to learn...?

    Only one of the two men arrested in the minutes after the terror attack at a mosque in Quebec City is a suspect, police revealed Monday, saying the other man they handcuffed was a witness.

    The lone suspect was identified as Alexandre Bissonnette, a student at the nearby Laval University, a law enforcement source told Reuters.

    Police initially named Mohamed el Khadir as a second suspect, The Associated Press reported, before cops apparently backtracked.


    Witnesses said at least one gunman shouted 'Allahu akbar!' while opening fire at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre Sunday night, killing six men.


    Police said they arrested one man outside the mosque -- and another suspect turned himself in, calling 911 less than 20 minutes later and giving officers his location in d'Orleans so they could arrest him. It was unclear whether Bissonnette was the man who made the phone call.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the attack, calling it a “terrorist attack on Muslims.” The attack unfolded in the men's section of the mosque.


    Five people were in critical condition and 12 others suffered minor injuries, University of Quebec Hospital Centre spokeswoman Genevieve Dupuis said Monday. The dead ranged in age from age 35 to 60.

    A possible motive was unclear. Police said they did not believe there were other suspects.

    One gunman was armed with an AK-47, the Le Soleil newspaper reported.

    “The bullets hit people that were praying. People who were praying lost their lives. A bullet passed right over my head,” a witness who asked to remain anonymous told Radio Canada.

    President Trump expressed his condolences to Trudeau and the Canadian people and offered to provide any assistance needed, according to the prime minister's office.


    “It was with tremendous shock, sadness and anger that I heard of this evening’s tragic and fatal shooting at the Centre culturel islamique de Quebec located in the Ste-Foy neighborhood of the city of Quebec,” Trudeau said in a statement. “Muslim-Canadians are an important part of our national fabric, and these senseless acts have no place in our communities, cities and country.”

    The gunfire started at the Islamic center at around 8 p.m., Le Journal de Quebec reported. More than 50 people were attending prayer service at the time of the shooting. The center's president Mohamed Yangui said the shooters reloaded at least three times.

    Police ramped up security at mosques across the country after the massacre.

    An unidentified man looking for his friends, who were regular attendees of evening prayers, told Le Journal de Quebec, "I've tried to reach them, but I cannot. It's terrible."

    The French-speaking province of Quebec has been embroiled in a lengthy debate about race and religious accommodation. The previous separatist government of the province called for a ban on ostentatious religious symbols such as the hijab in public institutions.

    The CBC reported that someone left a pig's head on the mosque's doorstep this past June,
    during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Islam's holy book, the Koran, forbids them from consuming pork.

    "We were told that it was an isolated act, but today we have deaths," Yangui told reporters. "It is minutes and hours of terror and anguish."

    In the U.S., the NYPD said in a statement that officers have been told to give “special attention” to mosques in the area. Police said they were monitoring the situation in Quebec.

    Gotta advance that agenda tho.
    Everyone wants to be right. This thread already looks like a betting game on what religion/race the shooters are.

    Well, at least I am pleased you used the word "sojourning". It rarely if ever is used in the US, and it has always been a favorite word of mind since the 5th grade. Not sure why it isn't used more often.

    When isn't murder a hate crime?
