Canada: Gunmen screaming “Allahu akbar” open fire in mosque, murdering
multiple people

The shooters could be “Islamophobes” who screamed “Allahu akbar” mockingly.
Or they could be Muslims who were firing upon other Muslims whom they deem
heretical: a Sunni-Shia dispute, or adherents of the Islamic State versus
opponents of it.

In any case, this is being covered as if it were an “anti-Muslim hate
crime,” and it may be. However, this story that notes that the gunmen were
screaming “Allahu akbar” is notably free of the laments about
“Islamophobia” that were in earlier stories about the shooting. There is no
certainty at this point that it was an “anti-Muslim hate crime,” and the
screams of “Allahu akbar” open up the possibility that this was yet another
“anti-Muslim hate crime” committed by Muslims.

“Multiple dead, 2 arrested in shooting at Quebec City mosque,” CBC News

January 29, 2017:

Quebec City Police say several people are dead after shots were fired
inside a Quebec City mosque on Sunday night.

Multiple people are also feared wounded. Their condition is not known at
this time.

A few dozen people were inside the Islamic cultural centre of Quebec in the
Sainte-Foy neighbourhood when the shooting began just after 8 p.m.

Quebec City Police Constable Étienne Doyon said mostly men were gathered at
the mosque for evening prayers.

The director of the centre said at least five people were killed, but that
information has not been confirmed by police.

Two suspects have been arrested, one of whom was apprehended after a chase
that ended near l’île d’Orléans.

A large perimeter has been set up around the mosque.

‘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 as 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.”…
