Those wacky Neanderthal genes, I tell ya

I don't know necessarily if the Neanderthal genes, but for whatever reason, there is something significantly wrong with them

It's really not about Islam that's just the veneer. You don't think a black church full of lets say new African immigrants is going to get shot up? That's the most likely scenario I've ever imagined sadly.

In Quebec its definitely about Islam. Its all their tabloid media, radio shows, and politicians talk about. Theyre xenophobic in general but theyve transformed the small Muslim immigrant pop into some sort of existential threat unlike other immigrants.

Everyone thought it was Moroccan because some french media leaked the false name, but news organization updated and posted the new update. Fox didn't delete the Moroccan tweet, and only updated the article without posting the new information again. They thought they were slick.

Before he could join thousands of others on Thursday to mourn victims of the Quebec City mosque shooting, Fazle Elahi Ahmad received troubling news of something he never expected to happen.

Early Thursday morning, Ahmad’s Pointe-St-Charles mosque had its window smashed in with a brick and facade vandalized with eggs.

“We’ve never had any tension in the neighbourhood,” Ahmad said from the Khadijah Islamic Centre on Thursday evening, where a brick-sized hole could still be seen in the window. “I would never have believed this could happen to us.”

Ahmad, the mosque’s treasurer, said it had been targeted with graffiti in recent months but nothing serious enough to worry about. Founded in 2002 with an open door policy, it’s been considered part of the community for years.

“From noon to midnight, our door is open. It’s never closed,” he said. “There are some cameras but we don’t rely on cameras, we rely on trust.”

Ahmad said someone inside the mosque heard the window being smashed and rushed outside but couldn’t find anyone. Police believe it happened between 7 and 8 a.m. The force hadn’t made any arrest as of Thursday night.

Musabbir Alam, who attends the centre, said he heard the news while attending the public funeral held for three of the Quebec City victims. He didn’t believe it at first.

But he’s felt a sense of dread spreading in his community, he said, and has noticed the congregation’s numbers dwindle since Sunday.

“People are scared to come to the mosque,” Alam said. “The fear is there in the community.”

According to the Sûreté du Québec, the number of hate-related crimes being reported to police has skyrocketed since Sunday’s shooting. The provincial police force said it’s received 175 reports from citizens about hate speech being posted online this week alone. Montreal police reported a similar increase.

Arrest over hateful comments: Late Wednesday night, police arrested a 27-year-old man at his Mirabel home after complaints were placed about hateful comments he was allegedly making online. The man was released after promising to appear in court at a later date, where it’s believed he’ll be charged with publicly inciting hatred.

The charge can carry a two-year prison sentence if convicted.

“Our investigators are taking this very seriously,” SQ spokesperson Audrey-Anne Bilodeau said of the increase. “When people are behind a computer they have this false sense of security that they’re somehow protected. But it’s a criminal offence like any other — even if the threats are made online, the victims are real, and their suffering is real.”
