Deadly Shooting in a Canadian Mosque.

Hold up American politics are not Canadian politics, it's like me blaming the Bush presidency on Justin Trudeau doesn't really work. I am curious though as to just how much influence a foreign enemy power can have out the middle of nowhere Quebec.

Most Americans have no idea of just how much influence their leaders can have on others. The very notion of referring to Quebec City as the middle of 'nowhere Quebec' indicates the type of insularity and lack of geography that has come to represent the caricature of self-absorbed and insular Americans.

This does not even account for the influence of media and social media in linking people together. Social media, for instance has created a platform for the disaffected racists to share their grievances born of mental instability and nursed by powerful demagogues.

Bissonette appears to have become increasingly radicalized by Le Pen and Trump,because they fed his anxiety about the 'other'. Their influence is no different than the influence of the radical Islamists on the other side of the world inspiring the disillusioned,disenfranchised mentally unstable young muslim men to pick up weapons and go out and make a statement.

The two of you must be so very disappointed that it was just any angry white domestic terrorist on a rampage.

Obviously not all Canadians share the much-tumpeted policy of flooding the country with immigrants.

I find it interesting that in response to my post that basically said "violence is not the answer", your reaction is to assume I'm angry that it wasn't a muslim that's committing crimes in the name of their religion.
You are so desperate for an argument that you're trying to bait me into starting one with you.

Since your first reaction is to assume I would be in favour of a violent attack, it makes me wonder what goes on in your mind.

He isn't implying that you are in favor of violent attacks.

You don't read very carefully, do you?

I guess I didn't answer in the way you were hoping I would?

Your name ["Benvolio"] does not sound like a white American. [STRIKE]why[/STRIKE] Why not let us [STRIKE]now[/STRIKE] know what you are [STRIKE]dong[/STRIKE] doing in the United States if you have the Nerve to. [STRIKE]your[/STRIKE] You're not American I can tell by your name [STRIKE]?[/STRIKE] .

Benvolio is a screen name, and screen names tell is only the image that the user wants to convey. Benvolio's profile gives no clue as to his nationality or ethnicity. So I don't imagine you are going to get any real answer from him.

What is your nationality? Your profile doesn't say, but I would guess you are Hispanic or French or Italian or Malaysian.

Don't sweat it man, the only way he looks smart is by making others look dumb. It's his M. O.

I'm waiting to learn what motivated Alexandre to commit such a horrible act. Why did he hate so much?

This from the man (?) who insults everybody who doesn't agree with him.

Take your tounge out of his ass, we're not impressed.

Good job proving his point.

if the killer was a trump lover and influenced by the words of our leader----it will prove the point that it does matter what a world leader says ----because millions are listening ----and some may be as unstable as the leader speaking the words and take everything literally. It's cute when guys insult guys on here in a trumpian way----makes them seem macho and I have no real problem with it if it gets you a boner doing it---as JUB isn't influencing an entire generation of young minds or unstable people.

This was the first instance of deadly violence, but it wasn't the first instance of violent behaviour since Trump came into the spotlight.

From November 15, 2016:

“This is what has been unleashed by the American president-elect and those that support him,” Anna Maranta, the Ottawa rabbi, wrote in a Facebook post.

But experts say it’s too soon to tell just how connected the vitriol is to Trump’s victory, and that the incidents are more likely the inevitable outcome of long-held views by many Canadians, who may now feel encouraged by the successful campaign rhetoric.

“What you have is an opening where some of what has been in the shadows is coming out, and of course we must see the relationship between that and the U.S. election. But I want to stress that the seeds of it were already here,” Rinaldo Walcott, a sociology professor at the University of Toronto who researches racism in Canada, said in an interview.

The seeds may have already been hear, but Trump has watered them and put them under grow lights. he has made it okay to hate.

Why are you quoting an Ottawa rabbi from facebook? Social media is not an acceptable source, remember? Let alone a rabbi from Ottawa.

 

[sixthson]

Shalom!

I didn't quote the Rabbi. The news website did. I quoted the website. Last I heard, news websites were not social media.

Are you or the eye witnesses sure the killers weren't shouting "Allahu akbar," a phrase meaning "Allah is great"?

There was ONE killer in Quebec city. He is a pale skin, blueish-green eyes home-grown French-Canadian, probably nominally Roman Catholic, and I am a bit ashamed of that, a bigoted racist. Eye witness account reports that the only thing he said was "FUCK YOU", before he started shooting.

Don't be ashamed of yourself because of something that someone else did, and don't apologize for something you had nothing to do with.
