Terrorist Attack in Canada

[ronburgundy]

The other suspect has an Arabic name (Mohamed Kadir)

Yabut, could be a white supremacist who took the name Mohamed as a mockery.

First, he didn't take the name for any reason. It was likely put upon him as are 99.9% of people's names. Thus, it would bear no clear implication for his motives, even if he were the suspect.

Second, he is not the suspect. Cops have now clarified that he is just a witness and that lone suspect who yelled "allahu akbar" in a Quebec accent was the white guy with the very non-Arabic name who likes the Israeli military, Trump, and other right-wing nationalist extremists.

So how are you going to weasel out of your absurd inference that the yellng of that phrase most strongly implies "workplace violence" and your blind denial of the fact that the phrase could easily be said as a way to mock the people being killed for the very religious beliefs that the phrase denotes.

I don't understand how this was identified as a terrorist attack.

From the linked article:



but then....

A motive has not been established. Mass shootings in Canada are relatively rare.

Wait. How can an action be categorized as "terrorist" without knowledge of the motive?

Cuz it must have involved Muslims.

Maybe it was a right wing nationalist and an Isis supporter joining forces against their common enemy.

WP sez. That settles it.

Weezer?!?

Yeah, now it looks like the Canadians rushed to judgement.

Now that we know the two gunmen shouted "allahu akhbar" before opening fire on a crowd it seems more like a case of workplace violence.

Maybe its self-loathing Muslims.

I'm guessing Shia/Sunni conflict.

I blame myself for the attack.

Who the fuck takes the time to like Sprite's Facebook page? The RCMP dropped the ball not red flagging this guy months ago.

And the dumb motherfuckers at the White House have already tried to use this as an excuse to back their absurd immigration ban. Maybe we need to stop letting Canadians in, too.

You forgot John McCain

Clearly this is his fault.

Could be anyone from this board.

Ya, that's a terrorist attack and good job by the PM defining it as such regardless of who the perpetrators or victims are, as one might expect from some ... others.

agree

Is there a way for the general public to know when he followed Trump and Le Pen? Was it a while ago or a couple days ago or even after the shooting like the tinfoilers are saying.

I would bet Facebook knows when he liked them.

But the feminist thing is not fully fitting with Trump.

If you think there is an immigration ban, I am pleased to break it to you, there isn't.

If your opinion mattered to me at all, that would be a great relief. But since it doesn't, and since you're plainly wrong anyway, it is not.
