Quebec City the capital of Quebec province, is a beautiful place, which includes old Quebec, a heritage city fortified with a wall, steeped in European charm with magnificent structures on cobblestoned streets.
It is not a sacred city like Rome's Vatican or anything, but it's hard to imagine an alien resident presence here except for visitors and tourists. Therefore the indiscriminate shooting of Muslims praying at an Islamic Cultural Centre aka Mosque, resulting in 6 deaths and many injured, is a shock to all Canadians. Thanks to free flowing Saudi money and Wahhabi zeal, such religious places have popped up all over the developed world. Part of their stated doctrine of converting the world to Islam. I digress. The shooters are now identified as Alexandre Bisonnette and Mohamed Khadir. No motive has yet been ascribed or speculated to the killings, but the thought that occurs to me is that the name Khadir is Shia and a train of thought that follow from that. As to Bisonnette, there is no shortage of crazies all over. Roland Francis Toronto.
