Just as normalcy was returning to Quebec City’s largest mosque, its members find themselves reliving the horror of the Jan. 29, 2017, shooting that left six Muslim men dead.
“Now with this, we again have to rethink security, vigilance and to relive the pain. People are remembering the funerals, the weeks some spent in hospitals, the children who don’t have their fathers. Many things. A great weight that people are feeling once again today. It’s very, very painful.” Evidence from Bissonnette’s computer showed he repeatedly sought content about anti-immigrant, alt-right and conservative commentators, mass murderers and U.S. President Donald Trump, and about the arrival of Muslim immigrants in Quebec.
“The goal of this is to inspire other people to commit similar acts. It’s very similar to the approach of the Rahowa — Racial Holy War — that existed in the skinhead movement when I was in it. Some of them live vicariously through mass murderers such as Bissonnette, Dylann Roof and Elliot Rodger, Fiset said.
“Like Quebec and Canada, New Zealand is a peaceful place where people want to live in safety and peace,” Legault said. “We have recently experienced a tragedy that has affected everyone in Quebec. … There is no room for extremism in our societies; there is no room for intolerance. We will not allow violence to take root in our democratic societies.”
