Man charged with murder of 6 at Quebec mosque appears in court dressed all in white

From the National Post:

Quebec mosque shooting suspect Alexandre Bissonnette charged with six counts of murder

Alexandre Bissonnette was charged late Monday with six counts of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder using a restricted firearm for a shooting spree in a Quebec City Mosque that has shaken the community, Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Though police and politicians have spoken of terrorism since the 27-year-old university student allegedly opened fire just after the last prayers on Sunday, he was not charged with any terrorism-related offences.

Bissonnette was studying anthropology before switching to sociology at Université Laval.

He appeared at the Quebec City courthouse, dressed in white with his head bowed. Bissonnette showed no emotion in his brief appearance. His lawyer did not enter a plea, and he will appear on Feb. 21.

(No terrorism charges and dressed all in white. I would hazard a guess that he is a convert to Islam, and this was as we first suspected, an attack on what he may have viewed as “Murtad” or that the target mosque was insufficiently Islamic by the standards of the actual Islamic texts. The rest of the article goes to great pains to make this about irrational hatred of Muslims. And maybe he did do it for those reasons. But the lack of terrorism charges and the white clothing indicates otherwise. More data is needed. Also none of the photographs of the accused are dated.)

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

WHITE SUIT was Prison issued.

So it is leaning heavily towards being anti-Muslim. At last the media has what it wanted. Another Breivik.

The Daily Mail explains it all here.

Two gunmen arrested in attack that left six dead, named in report as Alexandre Bissonnette and Mohamed Khadir

QUEBEC CITY, Canada (AFP) — A suspect in Sunday’s mosque shooting in Quebec City that left six people dead called police “to talk about his surrender,” a senior police official said Monday.

Two gunmen stormed into a Quebec mosque during evening prayers and opened fire on dozens of worshipers, killing six and wounding eight in what Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned as a “terrorist attack.”

UPDATE: Witness claims shooters had Arabic accent, yelled, “Allah hu Akbar!”

‘A Quebecois accent’

A witness, who asked to remain anonymous, told CBC’s French-language service Radio-Canada that two masked individuals entered the mosque.

“It seemed to me that they had a Quebecois accent. They started to fire, and they they shot they yelled, ‘Allahu akbar!’ The bullets hit people that were praying. People who were praying lost their lives. A bullet passed right over my head,” said the witness.

“There were even kids. There was even a three-year-old who was with his father.”

This just in:

During evening prayers, an unknown gunman went into a mosque on Ste. Foy St. in Montreal and shot many people, with four to five reported dead, and a total of ten injured.

Two or three people are said to be arrested.

There may be materials on this Mosque’s FB page which could be considered “Shirk” to more traditional muslims. If this is the case, and as it would be very difficult to find 5 Canadians with guns willing to shoot up a place for nothing, the chances of this being an example of religious muslims dealing with what they view as apostates, or “Mushrakeem”.

This video shows boys and girls together. More evidence that it may be religious muslims attacking the infinitesimally more progressive ones.

Sacre Coeur hospital in Montreal now broadcasting Islamic call to prayer at prayer times on public PA system

Posted on by

*UPDATE*

From a comment on this article:

When contacted, a hospital spokesperson: “Good afternoon, we thank you for the information. We have been informed of this story. The hospital or any other organization belonging to the CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’Île-de Montréal does not broadcast religious messages of any sort.”

The source on this story is well known to me. She heard the first 2 lines of the call to prayer at the time listed below for this prayer session. There are all kinds of possibilities that may account for this discrepancy. The hospital may not be aware of it. It could have been someone’s personal device playing it as an alarm. It could have been coming from a room and not over the PA. But the report I got from a known source is that she “heard it on the PA system.”

I just received a call from someone who is visiting the hospital who heard the first two sentences of the Islamic call to prayer on the hospital PA system at exactly 12:51 today.

“Feelings of exclusion and resentment” by the muslim community results in Canada day in one town, taking place in a mosque parking lot

Posted on by

A mosque parking lot. This is the concession we make because some people claim that they are made to feel unwelcome when they wear the uniform of the people who are killing us all over the world. Including Canada when they can.

So because of the resentment shown by the people who have enough courage to actually express themselves in the face of the most repugnant ideology and doctrine the world may have ever seen, one mayor has decided to hold the Canada day festivities in a mosque parking lot with a bouncy castle instead of a public park.

I can see that working out well.

I hope those non-Muslims, or should I be multicultural and say, “Najis” or “Kufaar“, bring pork products if they normally would, and alcohol if they normally drink on Canada day (Dominion Day) and ask open unafraid questions about Islamic history, slavery then and now, rules and punishments about apostasy and so on and find out what this is really about. Lets see if this tolerance in the parking lot extends to full throated Canadian culture or just a temporary parking lot detente.

Who is the pro-sharia Islamist behind the street of prayer in Montreal?

Samer Elniz, one of the leaders of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood in Quebec, invoked Allah and prayed on Ste-Catherine Street in Montreal, on the steps of St. James Church, June 7, at a ceremony co-organized by the United Church of Canada and the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) of the Muslim Brotherhood.

(Photo caption) Samer Elniz, executive director of the Laurentian Community Centre and responsible for the Al-Rawdah mosque, proclaimed the prayer was called ìsunsetî before the faithful prostrated themselves in the church square, the women behind the men.

The al-Rawdah mosque led by Samer Elniz belongs to the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), an organization that openly proclaims the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Mr. Elniz appeared in photos with veiled girls published by the website of the al-Rawdah mosque, reprinted by Djemila Benhabib on her blog, in a post titled ìSmall veiled girls: our big hypocrisy,î where she denounced ìthis blatant and cruel inequality imposed on some small Muslim girls.î

(Photo caption) Samer Elniz on one of the pictures that Ms. Benhabib published on her blog to accompany her post ìSmall veiled girls: our hypocrisy.î

As a result of his article, she was sued by the mother of one of the girls. Fortunately, Ms. Benhabib has won this case.

The al-Rawdah mosque is the largest house of Sharia in Montreal belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist sect classified as terrorist entities by several countries (Russia, Syria, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates).

Mr. Elniz also co-militates with Samer Majzoub, president of the Canadian Muslim Forum, the first Muslim lobby in Quebec, and with Said Fawaz, the representative of the Muslim World League in Canada, a pro-Sharia organization based in Saudi Arabia.

(Photo caption) We see Mr. Elniz (right) in this photo taken July 4, 2015 in Montreal with Samer Majzoub (left), president of the Canadian Muslim Forum, Sheikh Fawaz of the Muslim World League (center), and Mullah Ali Sbeiti.

The Muslim World League, of which Fawaz is the representative in Canada, recently sent propaganda materials to public libraries in Quebec denigrating the emancipation of Western women, criticizing the rejection of polygamy by Christianity, and boasting about Islamic values.

Every year Ali Sbeiti organizes a ceremony in his mosque where girls 8-9 years of age swear by Allah to do everything possible to wear the hijab until death (2014, 2015, 2016).

In 2015, the specialist Wael Saleh warned against the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), an affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood:

As local affiliates of Muslim Brotherhood, it is vital for the Muslim Association of Canada and the Islamic Society of North America to set up schools and mosques, according to an expert on Islamist movements at the University of Montreal.

ìOne of their main goals is to monopolize the Muslim public space to become the sole spokesman of this religion,î said Wael Saleh.

This infiltration of religious communities is extremely disturbing, he said.

ìThe Brothers are seen by many researchers as the birthplace of the terrorist religious movements.

A trial for terrorism: “Islamophobia” not a reason for hiding evidence from the public

Posted on by

An original translation by Ava Lon

From La Presse Quebec

The Court of Justice in Quebec reiterated on Thursday the fundamental right to a public hearing, and rejected the request of two defendants accused of terrorism, who requested that part of the evidence collected against them be kept secret from the public, under the pretext that it would risk compromising their right to a fair trial, while contributing to “Islamophobia” and “the climate of panic” in Quebec.

The request was presented by Sabrine Djaermane and El-Mahdi Jamali, two former students of the Maisonneuve College, who were arrested a year ago and charged with attempting to join a terrorist organization overseas, and planning a terrorist attack in Montreal.

While waiting for the trial, both were trying to prevent publication of elements of evidence collected by the investigators from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in an application for the search warrant.

Their request was based on testimony by an expert witness, Valérie Amiraux, sociologist and a chair-holder in the Canada Research Chair Program in the field of study of religious pluralism at the University of Montreal. With the support of her colleagues, Valérie Amiraux presented a 22-page report concerning the effect that the disclosure of the evidence could have on Quebecers.

In her report the professor emphasizes that the Muslim public image has changed considerably since 9/11, “ in particular as a result of media coverage of news”. She adds that there is “a widespread antipathy vis-à-vis Muslims in Canada” and that “Islamophobia has become commonplace in Canada” in the wake of the debate on reasonable accommodations and the Quebec Charter of Values. The context is akin to what some sociologists call a “political hysteria”.

In that context, the disclosure of certain elements of evidence is “problematic”, she concludes, because “those elements […] are particularly likely to help trace links among Islamophobia, the climate of panic and the feelings of insecurity”.

Common Front of Media

The lawyers from La Presse, Québecor and Radio Canada stood together in opposition to this request in the name of the free speech and established principles; they want justice in Canada to be public.

The justice Lori Renée Weitzman ruled in their favor. The judge summed the case up as a conflict between two fundamental rights protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: the right of defendants to a fair trial and the right of freedom of expression.

The judge acknowledges that the expert witness has expertise in sociology and deals with real issues.

“No one needs a sociology expert to say that in 2016 in Quebec, the Muslim population is confronted with prejudice and stereotypes.” — from the judgement

But in a court of law, the existence of such prejudices doesn’t justify restricting public access to court proceedings. “Without understating the extent of the expertise of Mrs. Amiraux, the flaw in her estimation is the extrapolation of the data she masters in sociology in order to reach a conclusion on the Canadian criminal law system, without appropriate knowledge in this field,” continues the justice.

She reminds everyone that according to the Supreme Court, “the proper administration of justice includes the right under Article 11 (d) of the Charter, which guarantees a public trial and the right for the media to have the access to the trial and to be able to report what takes place there.”

Trials Behind Closed Doors?

Other opinions presented by the expert raised the judge’s eyebrows. “Professor Amiraux doesn’t know the importance the Charter gives to the open courts, and she is even believes, wrongly, that a criminal trial could be held behind closes door,” the judge notes as well.

“This erroneous assessment of our fundamental principles of Canadian criminal law allows her to reach a conclusion in favor of a publication ban that would apply, according to her, in all cases involving the subjects that could cause anxiety, or concerning an identifiable minority”, continues the judgement.

The testimony of the sociologist was therefore deemed inadmissible, and the request for an order banning publication rejected. “The consequences of such an order would be important, since it would limit public access to information in connection with legal proceedings, which violates the constitutional right to freedom of expression,” says the judge.

 

The defendants have ten days to appeal the decision.

 

 

The Costco Affair: The Alleged Victim Married to a Muslim Brotherhood Leader

An original translation by Anonymous

From this Quebec based Website, Poste De Veille

Asma Al-Shawarghi says she was insulted in Montreal by an employee of Costco who told her to “go back to her country”. She is claiming moral and punitive damages.

But who is Asma Al-Shawarghi? Her husband, Bilal Hamideh, is vice president of the Canadian Muslim Forum (CMF), the largest Islamic lobby in Quebec.

Ms. Al-Shawarghi openly displays her sympathy for the Muslim Brotherhood. She poses here with her daughters making the sign of the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization founded in Egypt in 1928 and which now operates in many countries.

The husband of Asma Al-Shawarghi is Bilal Hamden.

Bilal Hamideh and his wife Asma Al-Shawarghi (source)

However, Bilal Hamideh is a member of the Canadian Muslim Forum, a lobby representing the Muslim Brotherhood.

He is seen here with a CMF delegation on a trip to Ottawa to meet with the NDP:

Here we see Bilal Hamideh, right, with Islamist Salam Elmenyawi and Sheikh Fawaz, Canadian representative of the Muslim World League:

 

It is interesting to note that Ms. Al-Shawarghi quotes Kathy Malas’ argument word-for-word; she is also vice president of CMF:

This is what Asma Al-Shawarghi said:

Asma Al-Shawarghi said she noticed an increase in Islamophobia since the debate over the niqab during the federal election.

“I hear of so many stories of Muslim women being ??harassed, insulted and assaulted because they wear a hijab, but who are too afraid or distrustful of the justice system to do anything, “said Asma Al-Shawarghi.

Source: Muslim Montrealer says she was told by Costco employee, ‘Go back to your country’

This is what Kathy Malas, Canadian Muslim Forum of the Muslim Brotherhood, said:

(Click here for Facebook Video in both English and French)

So, the husband of Al-Shawarghi is vice president of the first Islamic lobby in Quebec, chaired by Samer Majzoub who also works for the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC). And the school that was founded in Pierrefonds is located in a building that belongs to the MAC. However, the MAC openly calls for the teaching the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. Also, the MAC is registered at the Al-Rawdah mosque at the Laurentian Community Center, whose chief Imam, Amer Hussein, appears openly as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

It should also be known that Asma Al-Shawarghi promotes events co-organized by this Muslim Brotherhood mosque on Facebook: see here, here and here.

She also promotes events co-organized by the Muslim Brotherhood MAC: here, here and here.

“Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way
of Allah is our highest hope.”

Bilal Hamideh and Asma Al-Shawarghi (source)

Asma Al-Shawarghi also congratulated Morsi, shortly after his election victory in Egypt. However, Morsi falls under the Muslim Brotherhood, which was declared a terrorist organization by Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Russia.

People in burkas, probably not muslims cause they never wear burkas, threaten people to convert to islam

Posted on by

(Note the Muslim Brotherhood logo on the sticker. Pretty sophisticated for a hoax)

Also this excellent article is worth the effort.

In his new book “The Last Refuge”, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize for Literature Imre Kertész criticized the attempt to replace European culture with mass immigration: “Europe will soon go under because of its previous liberalism which has proven childish and suicidal. Europe produced Hitler, and after Hitler there stands a continent with no arguments: the doors are wide open for Islam; no longer does anyone dare talk about race and religion, while at the same time Islam only knows the language of hatred against all foreign races and religions”.

Kertész continues as follows: “I would talk about how Muslims are flooding, occupying, in no uncertain terms, destroying Europe; about how Europe relates to this, about the suicidal liberalism and the stupid democracy… It always ends the same way: civilization reaches a stage of maturation where it is not only unable to defend itself, but where it in a seemingly incomprehensible manner worships its own enemy”.

Marc Lebuis of Pointdebascule.ca speaks to the Quebec Legislature opposing bill 59

Posted on by

To be perfectly clear, this is tomorrow’ newspaper for the rest of the free world. The ultimate far left-islamic work around to laws which guarantee freedom of speech and the preservation of the Enlightenment. If the Quebec ‘Human Rights Commission’ is successful in this bid to make punishable criticism of Islam, groups like the OIC etc. will be redoubling their efforts to make this happen everywhere.

My previous post on this issue in order to understand the person behind the push to end freedom of speech to criticize religious authority, and in particular, Islam can be seen here.

Quebec’s bill 59. Canada’s French province runs screaming from the Enlightenment.

Posted on by

For the past couple of days, a Quebec law professor and former director of a George Soros funded ‘progressive-leftist’ group called Open Society Foundations, has been arguing in the Quebec legislature, that criticism of islam should not just be illegal but punishable by massive fines for a first offense and life destroying ones for a second.

The National Post editorial puts it this way:

National Post View: Quebec hate speech bill would re-establish bureaucratic despotism

Strong stuff for a national newspaper. But potentially an understatement.

As this site has argued since its inception, the most problematic aspect of any lever of power like Bill 59 is the fact that it will be selectively enforced. In this case it would be a safe wager that it will be enforced using the guidelines of UN Resolution 16/18 making it a criminal act to criticize Islam, but not stopping Islam from calling for the genocide of non-believers under their right to religious freedom.

Back to the Post:

Bill 59 assigns new powers to the Quebec Human Rights Commission (QHRC) to combat hate speech, as well as a variety of other provisions meant to protect against extremism, by censoring speech that promotes “fear of the other.” Ominously, the bill would allow the QHRC to pursue websites that in its estimation describe and denounce Islamism.

The bill takes its inspiration from recommendations made public by the QHRC in November 2014. Jacques Frémont, the commission’s president, explained that he planned to use the requested powers to sue those critical of certain ideas, “people who would write against … the Islamic religion … on a website or on a Facebook page.”

Let’s let that sink in for a moment before we move forward.

The Quebec Government is contemplating a bill that seems, even overtly, to criminalize and punish anyone who criticizes a political/religious ideology. Even if islam was not a threat doctrine this bill is an outrageous affront to the most core principles of democracy. One cannot make an informed choice without information.

So who is this Jacques Frémont?

Below is a short video with a couple of tiny excerpts from an hour long speech in French where he seems to tip his hand a little bit. In all fairness, I do not speak French, so I cannot be certain that these short excerpts which were sent to us properly represent his point of view. So here is a link to the entire video. Anyone wishing to and who can speak French may want to check it out and make sure these quotes are fairly taken. They are at:

12:11  16:39  and the first cut is within the first 3 minutes. Its only one line.

The Montreal Gazette covered yesterday’s hearings on Bill 59

Quebec hate-speech bill prompts strong opinions at public hearings

But the most heated debates took place at the end of the day with the Association des musulmans et des arabes pour la laïcité au Québec (the Association of Muslims and Arabs for a secular Quebec).

Bill 59 was one of a slew of initiatives presented June 10 by the Quebec government to combat radicalization leading to violence, as it pledged to work with the city of Montreal on a deradicalization centre — their concerted response to terrorist attacks last October and the phenomenon of youths leaving Quebec to join terrorist ranks.

But it was also an answer to how to deal with the growing problem of Islamophobia, and on both counts AMAL-Québec welcomed the initiative.

“It is obvious that when the call to hate, demonize, and dehumanize certain groups becomes commonplace, it has the effect of accentuating attitudes filled with prejudice and stereotypes,” said AMAL president Haroun Bouazzi, before the Commission des institutions at the National Assembly in Quebec City.

For anyone uncertain about what “the call to hate, demonize, and dehumanize certain groups” means, just read a koran, the hadiths and the Sunna, or book of the life of Islam’s founder, Mohamed. Alternativly, sit in for a week or so at any mosque and listen to the sermons. Maybe bring a tape recorder so you can have the Arabic bits translated later.

One might wonder if this particular pernicious individual is so dangerous to real liberty and the Enlightenment if he had caught the notice of any of the Counter-Jihadists before?

Check out this post and video from Dec. 2014:

“I’m sorry. The debate is over. Islam is the religion of Peace!”

This is an interview with the President of the Quebec Human Rights Commission. In it, he appears to be saying that Quebec, or Canada, is going to be implementing something which looks a whole lot like the criminalization of criticism of Islam.

I would like to remind every man, woman, child and bureaucrat that freedom of speech was implemented for one thing in the West. To criticize religious and political authority. That once you limit that freedom even one little bit, all other freedoms of speech will diminish exponentially, because all things can be seen as functions of islamic observance.

Thank you Poste De Veille for the interview video and Sassy for the Translation.

Could it be that the time to make that most ancient of decisions which almost define human history has arrived for Quebecers?

The answer to that appears imminent. The desicion?

Do we stand and fight, or do we move to somewhere not as far along the downward spiral of despotism.

Husein Hamdani is also tied in with major counter-radicalization organizations in the USA and UK.

There is a lot to read about him at Point de Bascule here and here. If you can at all, please take the time and read these links.

A news report on him here from today on Quebec TV

Here he is talking about doing ‘dawa’ (Islamic proselytization) and using many of the common deceptions muslims use such as quoting ‘no compulsion in religion’ and not quoting “he who changes his islamic religion, kill him”

Here he is being praised for helping defeat ‘radicalization’ as opposed to funding and promoting it, which is what it looks like he may have actually been doing, from the Globe and Mail.
