When a right-wing bigot kills a bunch of brown people and/or Muslims, he's a "lone wolf" and we're supposed to pretend he's not representative of a bigger problem. But when a Muslim kills anybody, suddenly he's a "terrorist" - like "all Muslims" - and the only appropriate response is to kill them all. Typical hypocrisy.
Is his religion consistent with world domination? Is there a Katy Perry ISIS somewhere?
Did you know there was a shooting in Calgary this time last year? kept that quiet didn't they?
I still blame Islam for the Mosque attack. One is reactionary to the other. Paris and Berlin alone could make some people snap.
Anyway all we are going to get with this is tit for tat attacks. I have little doubt Muslims will also be attacked, especially if is becomes a prominent sub culture in the West.
What happened was terrible, and I feel sorry for the people impacted. Clearly there are some sick people on either side of the political spectrum.
What people like you fail to understand is the existential thread radical Muslims are to our country, and this risk far outweighs a few nuts. If I could think of a policy to stop this from happening, I would support it just like I support a policy to stop extremists from coming to our country, and gather intelligence from suspicious communities. You can't have it both ways.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't mean that all travel by Iraqis to the U.S. was banned, but this still did represent a "singling" out of Iraqis that was not imposed on other nationalities.
That's really my point: sovereign countries make distinctions between nationalities all the time when deciding who to admit and under what conditions.
Do I need to reiterate that I think that this specific measure by Trump is ill-advised?
No, I got ya. Sorry wasn't meaning to be brusque, but that particular piece of misinformation is particularly irking.
People are starting to say this is a false flag to undermine what Trump did.
I'm starting to think the same. There's been too many mix-ups in this story for no particular reason. First it was 2 muslim guys, now it's a "lone-wolf" white guy? And his argument is "he thought the violence against as belief system he disagreed with is unacceptable"? Eh something is fishy with this entire story.

No. The initial story floated by the *media* was correct...two canadian nationals, one of french and another of morrocan descent were arrested as suspects.
The morrocan was cleared of being involved with the crime and was found to be an innocent bystander.
The canadian of french descent admitted to authorities that he was the shooter and turned himself in.
I haven't heard much sympathy for Alexandre Bissonnette here in Quebec.
Good.
The sympathy I've read has been through American sites/sources/comments.
Fortunately, you don't have to deal with as much trash us Americans have to on a daily basis.

It's the same BS every time. It's sick. Gotta love the "party of personal responsibility" who blames everyone except the only one when it's one of theirs who commits the crime.

Good grief. I can't believe that falsehood is still going around.
When I first heard that claim of news being suppressed, it took me a mere 2 minutes to find an article about the shooting in the main Calgary newspaper:

Do you think all the fact would be clear immediately? I have no idea exactly what happened since I was not there. However reactionary violence is quite plausible. Again, did the Quebec Sovereignty Movement merely want to break off from Canada so that they could save it for immigrants?
