#1 Reported Quebecois accent. Maybe the FLQ is back.

Also reported they shouted Allah Ackbar. So who knows.

#2 Is it time for a This Week in Mosques feature?

Fire destroys mosque in Victoria, Texas.

Sounds a tad suspicious to me:
He said the congregation’s imam was awake in the early morning, checked online surveillance of the mosque and found that the alarm was not turned on and the doors were unlocked.

#3 I couldn't find any indication what brand of Islam the mosque is. I assume Sunni of unknown piety.

#4 Wasn't Trudeau just running his mouth about taking in refugees the the POTUS refused?

#6 The reluctance of the police to identify those arrested says to me they are either Muslim or Quebecois.

#7 Would they spare Quebecois attacking Muslims?

#8 If it was Quebecois it would stir up the Separatistes.

#9 Kinda like if an "African-American" (not of Besoeker type) attacked a mosque?

#10 6 dead by now per CBC.ca. Info about perps is minimal at this point.
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 Québécois accent. They started to fire, and as they shot they yelled, 'Allahu akbar!'

#11 They yelled, 'Allahu akbar!' in Québécois accent?

#12 They yelled, 'Allahu akbar!' in Québécois accent?

Yeah, I can't even imagine how that sounds...

#13 It would be, "Allahu akbar, eh" in standard Canadian.

If you leave off the 'eh', it's a quebec accent.

#16 HotAir:According to Radio-Canada and LCN, the two suspects in Sunday’s terror attacks on a mosque in Quebec City are Alexandre Bissonnette and Mohamed Khadir.
One of the suspects were arrested at the scene, while a second called 911 himself and was arrested around 9 p.m., just over an hour after the first 911 calls came in at 7:55 p.m., police said Monday morning during a news conference involving the Sûreté du Québec, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Quebec City police and Montreal police.
They were not known to police and the investigation into a possible motive continues, said superintendent Martin Plante of the RCMP’s C Division.

lone wolf(s), I'm sure

This information, as well as their war cry Allahu Akbar, will be suppressed by the MSM at all costs today. Not a mention on CNN or CBS...but they do talk about the pigs blood, they can dig up that bit of unrelated info.

#20 The Daily Mail has two articles updating the story, with photos, of course. (article one, article two) As of now, Moroccan-Canadian Mohamed el Khadir is considered a witness, not a suspect, though previously witnesses said two men burst throught he door of the mosque, shooting off guns. Key bits from the articles:

Six men aged between 39 and 60 were killed inside the Quebec City Islamic Cultural Center. Five people are in critical condition, another 12 suffered less serious injuries and 39 escaped unharmed.

Khadir was arrested at the scene but Bissonnette fled in his Mitsubishi. He was arrested 15 miles away later after calling 911 to turn himself in. He is said to have had at least one handgun and two weapons 'that resembled AK-47s' on his back seat.

Police searched Bissonnette's home in the nearby suburb Cap Rouge overnight and Khadir's apartment on Monday.

Hamid Nadji said friends inside the building had told him one victim 'had a weapon discharged in his face' when he tried to jump on an attacker.

'Three others died because they wanted to catch the man,' Nadji told 24hours, adding that he had been told one assailant left the mosque twice to reload his weapon.

#22 cbc.ca has suppressed its reporting of the names of those arrested:

CBC removes names of 2 arrested, awaiting confirmation of name of suspect
Police not divulging details about suspect, citing ongoing investigation

Quebec provincial police now say only one of the two men arrested Sunday night following the deadly shooting at a Quebec City mosque is a suspect in the attack.
