Quebec mosque shooting: Six people killed and two suspects arrested
The Telegraph UK ^ | 30 January, 2017 | Chiara Palazzo

Six people were killed and more injured after gunmen opened fire in a Québec City mosque during evening prayers in what the Canadian prime minister called a "terrorist attack on Muslims".

"We condemn this terrorist attack on Muslims in a centre of worship and refuge," Justin Trudeau said in a statement following the shooting.

The gunmen opened fire in the mosque during evening prayers, Mohamed Yangui, Québec City Islamic Cultural Centre, told reporters.

"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 who asked to remain anonymous.

"There were even kids. There was even a three-year-old who was with his father."

Earlier, a witness told news agency Reuters that up to three gunmen fired on about 40 people inside the Québec City Islamic Cultural Centre.

Full title: Quebec mosque shooting: Six people killed and two suspects arrested after 'terrorist attack on Muslims'

The attackers yelled Aluha Akbar!,

The politicians are assuming it is an "islamophobic' attack.

Could be intramural Islamic violence.

Very little facts so far.

French language Canadian media reporting perps used AK-47s. If so, so much for Canada’s gun control. And NO info on who the perps are, if they’re Canadian, and if not, how they got to and stayed in Canada.

“There was even a three-year-old...”

Playing the sympathy card, like there aren’t other 3 year-olds affected by senseless violence. Hello Chicago, World Trade Centers, David Koresh compound, etc.

CBC news is reporting that the two Quebec Mosque shooting suspects are:

1)Bashir al Taweed

2) Hassan Matti

Both are Syrian Immigrants who arrived in Canada last week, according to monitored police radios in Quebec City.

Muslims, for the most part, are in far greater danger from other Muslims, if they do not happen to be the “right kind” of Muslims, than they are from any other organized or even semi-organized entity in the world.

And a Muslim may become the “wrong kind” of Muslim in an instant, subject to the impulsive actions of another Muslim.

The politicians are hoping it is an Islamophobic attack, because that would fit in with their agenda. If it’s an intramural attack, which is at least as likely, it does nothing to paint Muslims as decent, hard-working, or not inclined to terrorize their neighbors, which is the only paradigm which many western politicians and journalists will accept.

Canada, you simply can't be taken seriously as long as that dhimmiwit speaks for your nation.
