It's interesting that my first thought was that this would be a domestic attack from the right wing against the mosque, especially since (IIRC) there had been some bias crimes reportedly committed against the congregation there.

But it looks like my first thought was wrong.

@Marauder06 that was my first thought as well. The anti Muslim sentiment in Quebec is huge and was there long before Trump.

On the radio this morning it was mentioned that one suspect was of Moroccan decent and both are local university students.

It would seem that the Shia/Sunni war has reached our soil.

It would seem that the Shia/Sunni war has reached our soil.

I have no doubt that in the coming near future, when there are enough of both factions within a host country, their personal conflicts will begin to bleed over into those countries.

The latest. One suspect called 911 after the fact and was apprehended as the result. Witnesses said they were very calm and adept in their weapons handling. We've had a lot of converts leave and then return, for training and participation in jihad abroad. It would not surprise me if these were the case.

I looked just now and I can't find anything about it being a Sunni-Shia conflict. Does anyone have links?

Just speculation at the moment.

I don't know too many rednecks named Alexandre.

Looking more like a white extremist acting alone. The suspect of Moroccan decent is now cleared and is just a witness.

Stand by for comparisons of Bloc Quebecois to the US Tea Party...

Damn those white extremists. I guess Canada does have rednecks named Alexandre.

Good attitude of Mohamed Belkhadir.
