Thoughts are with the Muslim community of Quebec and wider Canada. In a country known for its tolerance and pluralism, this truly is a terrible and extremely worrying development. Where are we heading and can we turn back?

"White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer exploited the attack to justify President Trump’s ban on immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries. “It’s a terrible reminder of why we must remain vigilant and why the President is taking steps to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to our nation’s safety and security,” Spicer said at this afternoon’s briefing when speaking of the Quebec City attack.
But these assertions are utterly false. The suspect is neither Moroccan nor Muslim. The Moroccan individual, Mohamed el Khadir, was actually one of the worshippers at the mosque and called 911 to summon the police, and played no role whatsoever in the shooting.
The actual shooting suspect is 27-year-old Alexandre Bissonnette, a white French Canadian who is, by all appearances, a rabid anti-immigrant nationalist. A leader of a local immigration rights groups, François Deschamps, told a local paper he recognized his photo as an anti-immigrant far-right “troll” who has been hostile to the group online. And Bisonnette’s Facebook page – now taken down but still archived – lists among its “likes” the far right French nationalist Marine Le Pen, Islam critics Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the Israeli Defense Forces, and Donald J. Trump (he also “likes” the liberal Canadian Party NDP along with more neutral “likes” such as Tom Hanks, the Sopranos and Katy Perry)."It's a hopeless situation...0 -
It is a disgusting terror attack fueled by the kind of racism that Trump and other right-wingers around the world are fanning the flames of. The attack doesn't specifically say anything new, but the growing Islamophobia that it highlights is very much something we all have to pay close attention to, especially while certain politicians encourage it and certain voters obviously condone it. If Trump and friends keep going the way they are, such horrible, tragic attacks will continue. Of course the fanatical Muslim attacks will increase too. NOTHING good comes out of fear and xenophobia.jnimhaoileoin said:Thoughts are with the Muslim community of Quebec and wider Canada.

I had hoped that this terrible event would be viewed with the same horror as any other terrorist attack and that the victims would be afforded the same sympathy and compassion. However, I had a feeling I would be disappointeddignin said:

His name is Alexandre Bissonnette. He's a 27 year old Quebecois. He looks like he's 14 years old. I'm sure he'll have fun in prison.
Here's some background on him: http://heavy.com/news/2017/01/alexandre-bissonnette-quebec-city-canada-mosque-shooting-attack-suspect-gunman-shooter-photos-pictures-video-motive/

Thank gawd for him he did this in Canada. People will be tripping over themselves to rush in and help, or at least understand the idiot.
At some point, most of us will have to try and understand that mommy didn't hug him enough and daddy wasn't around as much as he needed to be... sooo... mass murder."My brain's a good brain!"0 -
An interview with someone who claimed to be his friend said he was. Plus he liked Trump on facebook. That's all I've heard so far.Wma31394 said:

People try to understand why someone kills people in order to prevent it from happening in the future. Not sure why that would be criticized.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:
