Ignoring that I thanked a post that probably generalized a little too much (oh well who cares frankly) I think its correct to point out that we shouldnt pretend this is a forever isolated problem. ISIS and other islamic terrorism groups wants to bring about chaos and mass destruction and one day they MAY achieve it with a nuke or dirty bomb.

As a Muslim, I care.

Being against ISIS and radical Islam has nothing to do with being racist, hopefully we're all mature enough to accept that and hopefully work to deradicalize people in our communities.


Anyways, back to the news. CBC is carrying EPS news conference

Such a stupid comment.

How is it. He tried to kill in the name of Allah.

Failed though so he won't be hitting his virgins as a prize

It's important not to lose sight of the fact that this is sad for everyone. Even those who belong to Muslim communities.

If you know someone who is angry or afraid, please comfort them, not escalate them.

You were there? So glad you survived. Tell us more about your eye-witness account of the lone wolf’s reasons, since you apparently know even more than the police.

I wonder if people are getting tired of hearing this?

The ISIS flag and his past interaction with the RCMP (being the subject of a terror investigation) speak pretty strongly to his intent.

The RCMP pretty much all but confirmed he isn’t a Canadian citizen, is in the refugee claimant process and is Somalian. The question now is why someone in the refugee process who is investigated for espousing radical views and gets put on a watch list is even allowed to stay in Canada and continue the refugee process

Things like street festivals are going to have to review security procedures going forward. Probably going to need better physical barricades rather than just the usual volunteers manning plastic orange sawhorse "barriers" that we see now.

Suspect is Somali national seeking refugee status. So, you bet, Thanks Trudeau!! Trudeau probably say the poor lad was misunderstood and award him a few million taxpayer dollars.

I sure am. As soon as an attack happens go straight to the Muslim community to say we aren't all bad he's not a real Muslim etc...

Yes it's a minority, we don't need to be reminded of that.

That's what happens when you let people in from countries that hate everything our civilised western world stands for

[White Out 403]

How nice of this young Somali. Take him in as a refugee and he attempts to commit mass murder on our citizens. This will do wonders when debating my Dad about taking in refugees. I can already hear him saying "told you so" over our next dinner.

I would expect that his actions inspire others to do it better.

This is an important post.

I don't blame Trudeau for this incident, however if this guy is not prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law people are going to be up in arms.

If the system fails to deliver justice, then the system is not right and needs to be changed.

I love how the bigots think refugees weren't allowed in Canada before Trudeau became PM.

Newsflash: refugees have been allowed in canada way before Trudeau showed up and yes from Muslim countries too.

Do you need a safe space or something? Do you think calling everyone who disagrees with you a bigot gives you a moral high ground? Good gravy.

How long has the suspect been living in Canada?
