A witness, told CBC’s French-language service:

“They had a Quebecois accent. They started to fire, and they yelled, ‘Allahu akbar!’ #Quebec

No way. We do not do violence on Muslims in the USA because we are not hateful. We are better than that. God bless America :)

Per a witness, killers were shouting Allahu Akbar

“It seemed to me that they had a Quebecois accent. They started to fire, and they they shot they yelled, ‘Allahu akbar!’ The bullets hit people that were praying. People who were praying lost their lives. A bullet passed right over my head,” said the witness.

They'll never get it. The Meme is more powerful than the truth. These people are not fixable. Muslims massacring Muslims can't burst their narrative.

I don't know how we will get out of this mess without a hot CW.

There’s very little info at CBC News

Thanks for that link.

Comments, at link, are interesting.

Looking for verification, of course....

If they are Syrian refugees, Trump just went up ten points in the polls.

What timing! Middle of all the controversy Trump is vindicated.

God’s hand is on this man. He’s WINNING!

[The Great RJ]

I thought Canada had tough gun laws...so where did the shooters get their weapons?

[citizen]

Liberal reaction to Quebec City shooting is pending. If whites, then it is Trump’s fault. If Muslim, nothing to do with Islam.
