Quebec City Police are outside of a mosque where multiple gunshots were fired.
Multiple people are feared wounded, according to CBC's French-language service Radio-Canada. Their condition is not known at this time.
A number of ambulances are parked outside of the Islamic cultural centre of Quebec in the Sainte-Foy neighbourhood.
Police have set up a perimeter around the mosque.
More to come.
Five people were killed after gunmen opened fire in a Quebec City mosque during evening prayers, the mosque's president told reporters on Sunday.
Earlier, a witness told Reuters that up to three gunmen fired on about 40 people inside the Quebec City Islamic Cultural Center.
Why is the Reuters headline "US-CANADA-MOSQUE-SHOOTING"? I seriously doubt that any Americans drove all the way to Quebec City to shoot up a mosque.
Condolences to the victims and their families. Hopefully the shooters are gunned down in a police battle rather than being sentenced to life and getting out in seven to ten.
Speaking for Americans, and yes, I do speak for all of us, we resent being grouped in with people who shoot up mosques and demand ID to vote. We demand our own category!Us-Canada is just a category. BBC uses something similar.
WTF? When did Trump become president od Canuckistan?

This makes me sick. In the summer this same mosque had pigs heads left at it.
So much hate against so many people who haven't done anything to anyone in this world.
We don't know what reality is yet. Fuck we jump on those on the right who immediately blame Muslims for everything. Can we wait until some facts come out first?BrianManahan, I noticed you posted your thread before me, so mine is probably going to get locked, so could you please add terrorist attack to your title to more accurately reflect the reality we are facing?

If it turns out to be a group of home-grown white guys who did the shooting...is it still terrorism?

I dont jump at people calling terrorism as terrorism. I jump on people at automatically naming terrorism suspects as Muslim before any suspects are even known. I didnt blame white people or Christians in my post, I simply reflected that it almost certainly is terrorism.
That would be hate crime. Unless they are spewing some Christian crusade crap. Then slap terrorism charges on as well.
True, but because those are the common subjects that are being talked about, if you notice, many of my other posts have the exact same tags, and the tags can be varied. Tags are meant to "tag" threads as being related to common topics. I can add more tags if you want, I will go see if I can add more.
Would you label deliberate concentrated violent campaigns against black people by racist White Southerners in the 1960s as terrorism?
The direct goal of burning black churches is to inspire fear, which is exactly what terrorism is.
lol Right. It's important to remember that the intolerant people are those celebrating the election of Trump, not those people vandalizing buildings, burning cars, and throwing rocks at cops to protest the election of Trump. It'd be very easy to confuse that simple truth if one only concentrates on the total intolerance of the tolerant people.we have our own intolerant people. some of them were celebrating election of Trump.
