QUEBEC, Jan 30 — The shooting at a Quebec mosque during last night prayers which reportedly killed five people was a “terrorist attack on Muslims”, said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“We condemn this terrorist attack on Muslims in a centre of worship and refuge,” Trudeau said in a statement.
Five people were killed after gunmen opened fire in a Quebec City mosque, the mosque’s president told reporters today.
A witness told Reuters that up to three gunmen fired on about 40 people inside the Quebec City Islamic Cultural Centre. — Reuters

While we've often heard of Islamist terrorists attacking non-Muslims particularly Westerners, the above news about a massacre of Muslims (by presumably Westerners) is not the first terrorist attacks against Muslims. There were plenty in Israel. I recall one, that by Baruch Goldstein on February 25, 1994.
Baruch Goldstein |
I'll let Wikipedia tell you what happened:
The Cave of the Patriarchs massacre, also known as the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre or Hebron massacre, was a shooting massacre carried out by American-Israeli Baruch Goldstein, also a member of the far-right Israeli Kach movement.
On February 25, 1994, Goldstein opened fire on a large number of Palestinian Muslims who had gathered to pray inside the Ibrahimi Mosque at the Cave of the Patriarchs compound in Hebron, West Bank.
It took place on February 25, 1994, during the overlapping religious holidays of both Jewish Purim and Muslim Ramadan.
The attack left 29 people dead, several as young as twelve, and 125 wounded.
Goldstein was overpowered, disarmed and then beaten to death by survivors.
While nearly 80% of Israelis, the Israeli government and most rabbis condemned that massacre and also Baruch Goldstein, a few rabbis praised Goldstein's horrendous act, calling his undertaking 'an act of martyrdom'. What arseholes some Israelis could be.
Wikipedia said: In eulogizing Goldstein, Rabbi Israel Ariel called him a "holy martyr", and questioned the innocence of the victims by claiming they were responsible for the massacre of Hebron's Jews in 1929.
Rabbi Dov Lior of Kiryat Arba said he was a saint whose "hands are innocent, his heart pure", and compared him to the martyrs of the Holocaust.
At the time, settler rabbi Yitzhak Ginzburgh was the only prominent Orthodox rabbi who praised the massacre. He has since been detained several times for espousing extremist views.
At Goldstein's funeral, Rabbi Yaacov Perrin perpetuated the hatred between Israelis and Palestinians by saying in a so-called eulogy to the killer-terrorist: "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail".
When Goldstein's grave became a holy site for visits by extremist Israelis, the Israeli government destroyed the site.
I fear the inevitable horror of an Islamic reciprocation for the Quebec mosque massacre.
In such an eye for an eye retribution, Mahatma Gandhi warned us the whole world would soon turn blind.
There are quite a many Israelis like Rabbi Eli Ben Dahan (picture below). He is still a member of the Knesset (Parliament) and is also the Deputy Minister of Defense. Frightening, isn't it?
Canadian PM, French President and German Chancellor have condemned the massacre... just want to hear what Trump will say.
ReplyDeleteThese barbaric animals are follower clones of Donald Trump.They are acting on behalf of Trumpism.They are like Donald Trump.Full of hatred for others.
ReplyDeletePerhaps laying deep under the monotheism of the Abrahamic faith is zombie-ism in disguise!!!
ReplyDeleteYou talk like Trump, like a berkshire. Wakakaka..
DeleteTalk like Trump?
DeleteHow about direct & open, w/o the plain ignorance & arrogant of that prick?
Whatever said, it's still better than a melayu palsu , masqueraded as a religious pius!
Ain't they called that munafik on Islam?
Or zombie provocateur of the sub-tribe?
Donald Trump had a 12 inch giant dog shoved down his throat.No wonder this sick horny dog had gone bonkers with lust.He had just removed the heads of intelligence from the NSC.Sick bastard,this POTUS.
ReplyDeletelatest news: IT seems it's alone wolf attack. Reports by SMH says:
ReplyDeleteQuebec City/Toronto: Police were investigating a single suspect in a shooting at a Quebec City mosque that killed six people, with a second person who was arrested now considered a witness, authorities said on Monday.
The sole suspect in the attack on Sunday evening prayers was Alexandre Bissonnette, a French-Canadian university student, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The man now considered a witness was of Moroccan descent although his nationality was not immediately known, the source said. He was named by media as Mohamed Khadir or Mohammed Belkhadir by media.
Authorities initially said they had arrested two suspects, but in a Twitter message, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said that "following the investigation, the second individual is now considered as a witness."
Police said on Monday morning they were confident no other suspects were involved in the attack.
"They consider this a lone wolf situation," the source said.
In addition to the six killed, five people were critically injured and 12 were treated for minor injuries, a spokeswoman for the Quebec City University Hospital said.
Liberals have been screaming that Lone Wolf attacks by Muslim extremists must not be considered terrorist attacks, because the person was not part of an organised group. I wonder what they are going to say about this ?
ReplyDeleteI have completely lost count of the numerous barbaric terrorist attacks by Muslim extremists against Jews, Christians, other Muslims etc.
Too many to count.
A lone wolf attack of Muslim congregation in Quebec has to be equated by another lone wolf attack of Palestinian congregation in Hebron?
ReplyDeleteApa udang u???
Condemned lah, after all this is an affront to human decency.
By equating Quebec incident with Hebron incident, r u protracting that ALL Muslims r always the victims?
Maybe u r not!
But the zombies have ALWAYS equate that as a victimization of their flock by the Kaffirs. Yes???
U fear the inevitable horror of an Islamic reciprocation for the Quebec mosque massacre?
Then, as a well-trained wordsmith, u should approach this incident with upmost sensitivity.
Actually, deep down, u already have expected a reprisal to happen sometime in the future - as the vengeful doctrine of an-eye-for-an-eye is deep rooted in these Abrahamic faiths!
I don't recall u'd written SIMILAR articles when those Muslim zombies massacred the Christians & bystanders around Europe!
Especially so, when they carried out extreme self injury (human bomb) upon their own people in their own land!
What's yr sense of proper yardstick in measuring yr atrocity inclination?
Perhaps, yr preference is such Islam>Christianity>atheist>Judaism in descending order?
Given those hateful articles and speeches and comments all over the world (including in this dear matey of mine blog.. wakakaka); I am not wrong to expect that the massacre of Muslims will go on, and it can happen at anytime anywhere.
ReplyDeleteLast night lying on my bed, I watch the video of the Chinese President Xi Jinping giving his speech at World Economic Forum - Davos 2017.
Let me summarise the content of his speech in just six words - what is globalisation without world peace. O man.. he is so cool and awesome. I am bloody impressed!
Now, where's that book - 'The Last Empress'? I must reread it.. about the Soong family, Sun Yat Seng, Chiang Kai-Shek,Chou and Mao..
The massacre of Muslims will go on, and it can happen at anytime anywhere, u bet!
ReplyDeleteMost of the time, they r been executed by zombie suicide bombers doing that 'honour' to the fellow ummat Islam in the failed states of the world. Mind u, most of these failed states r islamic baby factories.
The real surprise is that the outcries raised by the zombies for these self injuries in these Islamic back-waters ARE always many decibals below those that have been happened in Christian &/or advanced economies.
What gives, ehh???
The life of ummat in islamic back-water worths less (very much less) than the life of another ummat in advanced economies?
Maybe another one of those f**k-up zombie hierarchical distinction?
perhaps u shd do like hasan, read the last empress, or any chinese historical narrative from that era.
Delete'..read the last empress, or any chinese historical narrative from that era.'
DeleteErhhh!???
I believe what I read, with various subjects, in a week could be more than most of u read a single topic in a year!
Thus, reading is not the problem.
Comprehension & digestion of the various themes r.
What is the use of 吃古不化, 断章取意, behaving just like the zombies in reading/understanding their holy book,?
So please DONT tell me to follow a known zombie provocateur's senseless reading habit for whatsoever topics & from whichever era!
For u, has yr thought, after years of reading(??), reached this level of
圣贤大儒高言动人, 社会治理一塌糊涂???
From yr scantily display of the 儒家思维, u most probably still haven't realised that
孔子其实是个任人打扮的古人,孔子思想是被历代统治者反复曲解和误解的学说。
而孔子言行的本意如何,又有多少人认真对待呢?
So 管中窥豹, r u right to give advice?
ck.. 你不認為當你寫,所以你實際上是一隻公雞與一隻眼睛 wakakaka
Delete?????!???!!!??????
DeleteEither u r showing of yr version of Mandarin or yr cut&paste doesn't work through yr superlatively poor command of anything Chinese!
Perhaps, zombie logic!
But zombie got functioning brain ke, walau-eh!!
Those zombies can evolve. When is that anti-T virus vexin going to be ready.
Zombie apocalypse is indeed near!
