The French Canadian university student charged with killing six Muslim men during evening prayers at a mosque was known for far-right, nationalist views and his support of the French rightist party led by Marine Le Pen.
Alexandre Bissonnette was charged Monday with six counts of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder over the shooting rampage at a Quebec City mosque that Canada's prime minister called an act of terrorism against Muslims.
Bissonnette made a brief court appearance and did not enter a plea in the attack staged during evening prayers Sunday. Wearing a white prisoner jump suit, his hands and feet shackled, he stared down at the floor and fidgeted, but did not speak.
The 27-year-old suspect, who has espoused support for Le Pen and U.S. President Donald Trump on his Facebook page, was known to those who monitor extremist groups in Quebec, said François Deschamps, an official with a refugee advocacy group.
"It's with pain and anger that we learn the identity of terrorist Alexandre Bissonnette, unfortunately known to many activists in Quebec for taking nationalist, pro-Le Pen and anti-feminist positions at Laval University and on social media," Deschamps wrote on the Facebook page of the group, Bienvenues aux Refugiés, or Welcome to Refugees.
An anthropology and political science major at Laval University in Quebec City, Bissonnette had also expressed support on his Facebook profile for "Génération Nationale," a group whose manifesto includes the rejection of "multiculturalism."
Authorities said Bissonnette was unknown to police.
The grandson of a decorated World War II veteran, Bissonnette appears in a Facebook photo as a boy dressed as an army cadet, a military leadership program for Canadian youths. But cadets are not members of the Canadian Armed Forces and do not receive military training.

Thanks you sir for correction.
Obama said nothing about the political violence committed by his minions. Nothing. Not a word.
Very neat and tidy.
Compare they way the media will treat this shooting compared to the shooting at the Florida gay nightclub. This guy will be immediately tied to right wing fanatical groups while the Florida gunman was quickly portrayed as just a lone nut.
What happened to the other guy who was arrested, the Moroccan named Mohammed? What about the alleged shouts of Allahu Akbar during the attack?
How convenient. First it was three shooters. Then it was a moroccan and this guy. Now it is just this guy. Convenient turn of events. False news.
Good grief these folks always have an excuse.
Sounds like the Clintons, Obama, and at least on person on “our side” snicker snicker...
LOL, do these folks think we can’t figure out what they are up to? Evidently.
The idea he is right wing is fake news. It is based on the testimony of two fellow classmates. They could be lying or exaggerating.
There already is a bill in Parliament to “deal with” Islamophobia. This will fuel that interest.
I am leaning towards that view it is a false flag operation - run by CSIS and the RCMP.
Now he and the domestic security forces (RCMP) can do a three pronged attack on our rights:
1) Let in Syrian refugees
2) More gun bans
3) More free speech restrictions
It is one of two things:
1) Authorities have managed to cover up what really happened and have this dupe to pin it on.
2) As you said, False Flag. Senior members of the Liberal Party, along with the RCMP and CSIS running this to target right wing hate speech. There is no longer Sun News to keep any of these organizations honest
Smells like tuna.
I’m still wondering how severe the fallout will be.
You know they won’t let this go by without trying to take more freedom.
This reminds me of Lebanon when the 80% christian country allowed Muslims into their country. Things got heated and both sides fought each other like this. The vast majority of the attacks were Islamic. The Muslims were always the victims no matter what.
Sun News is now Rebel media on Youtube. They’re very good.
There is already a bill in the House to “deal with” Islamophobia. Probably new powers and resources for hate crimes, and restrictions on free speech.
Oh, I know. Just don’t know if they will be successful in the end.
“Mosque shooting suspect in Canada known for far-right views”
The Hussein-Head propagandists on my radio this morning called him “an anti-immigration nationalist”.
