We've had Islamophobic violence in the USA as well. I wonder why right wingers have failed to call this terrorism (?). Or mebbe they shall soon do so just to equalize things ...
Azzeddine Soufiane
The 57-year-old father of three was a grocer, butcher, and longtime Quebec City resident who often helped guide newcomers to the provincial capital.
He owned and operated the Boucherie Assalam in Sainte-Foy, less than a kilometre away from the Islamic cultural centre where the shooting took place.
Khaled Belkacemi
Belkacemi, 60, was a professor of soil and agri-food engineering at Laval University, also in the Sainte-Foy neighbourhood. He earned his bachelor of science in chemical engineering from Polytechnic School of Algiers in Algeria in 1983 and graduated with a PhD from Sherbrooke University in 1990.
Aboubaker Thabti
Friends of Thabti, 44, told the Globe and Mail he worked in a pharmacy and had two young children.
Abder Dhakkar told the newspaper that Thabti was one of the first people he met when he came to Quebec City from Montreal a year-and-a-half ago.
"He's so kind; everyone loves him — everyone," he said.
Mamadou Tanou and Ibrahima Barry
Mamadou Tanou Barry, 42, and Ibrahima Barry, 39, are brothers from Guinea, according to CBC's French-language service, Radio-Canada.
Mamadou, who worked in information technology, was the father of two toddlers, aged three and one-and-a-half.

Nah. You thought you did and buddy shot it to pieces. Seriously, how is temporarily suspending travel/migration from 7 whole Muslim countries a ban on Muslim immigration when there are something like 50 majority Muslim countries? None of the 5 largest Muslim majority countries have been temporarily banned, or does that not really matter to you because it doesn't fit the bullsh*t narrative you're trying to push.
John Ivison: In wake of mosque shooting, parliament’s mood of solidarity one of its finest hours
It was reassuring, amid the maelstrom of bad news, that the House of Commons returned from its Christmas break to debate amendments to the Statistics Act. Sometimes this flawed but precious institution can make you very proud indeed.
Canadians woke up to headlines about the shooting in Quebec City after a weekend of anxiety following Donald Trump’s executive order banning travellers from seven Muslim countries from crossing America’s borders.
A deep sense of discord gripped the country, and people looked to Parliament Hill to provide ballast. On Monday the leaders of our political parties did not disappoint, providing the stability and reassurance Canadians sought.
The House of Commons is the umbilical link between the people and actions of the state. On its best days, Parliament acts as a mirror on the nation, verbalizing how the country feels on any given issue.
Justin Trudeau told a hushed House of Commons that Canadians will meet fear and hatred with love and compassion. The Prime Minister specifically addressed Muslim Canadians: “You are important to us … you are at home.”
Rona Ambrose, the interim Conservative leader, said the attack on the mosque negates one of the principles upon which Canada was founded: the freedom to worship without fear.
NDP leader Tom Mulcair said that while hearts are broken across Canada, “with love and hope, we come together in the shared belief that we will overcome.”
This was not typical parliamentary boilerplate.
The American consensus may have been extinguished, but the Canadian consensus still burns brightly — a faith that all political parties operate within broad parameters and govern sensibly in the interests of all citizens.

True. Only Obama can be blamed for that.
Still, I'm glad the cops got the Muzzie filth that shot the other Muzzie filth.
Double quick, they did. Our Mexican trained Sûreté du Québec are famous for dat sort of ting, dere.
1. Ban all immigration, temporary or permanent, by people who are, or may become, Muslims.
2. Deport all non-Canadian citizens who are, or may become, Muslims.
3. Intern all Canadian citizens who are, or may become, Muslims in camps on Baffin Island.
Yay, Mounties!
This guy had to be driven by pure hatred, he now belongs to a group of despicable terrorists; the Tsarnaev Boston killers (6 dead, 264 injured); the Kouachi's Charlie Hebdo Killers (12 dead, 11 injured); ISIS Killers at the Bataclan Club in Paris (137 dead, 368 injured); Bakraoui,Laachaoui,Abrini,Kayem Belgium Airport massacre (32 dead, 340 injures); Omar Mateen Florida Club Killer (50 dead, 53 injured). Families are left behind, devastated and orphans grow up without parents, in some of these cases, both parents were murdered. The families of these men murdered at their place of prayer in Quebec take a sad place in the on-going fight with terrorism.
Make sure you don't mention Dylann Roof, Esteban Santiago, Jared Lochner, or Wade Michael Page. Because they aren't terrorists.
Meh, just random, lone-wolf killings. Don't mean nothing. The Moncton Mounties ain't as dead as the victims of Muzzie terrorism.
In other words, ship anyone who's not an outright Islamophobe to Baffin Island? And even then who's to say that a hard-core Islamophobe couldn't have a change of heart and convert to Islam? Just to be safe, I say ship the entire Canadian population to Baffin island and cordon off the rest of the country.
Perhaps Donald has got a little rethinking to do. The seven countries involved were the ones identified by Obama, apparently.
No - Ellesmere Island! What have the folks of Iqaluit done to deserve this?
