It seems we have effectively exported our sickness.

Six dead in Quebec mosque shooting
Ottawa (CNN)Six people are dead after a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, according to Quebec Provincial Police. Eight people were injured. The attack, which took place at the city's Quebec Islamic Cultural Center, is being investigated as an act of terrorism by police.
In what was described as a coordinated attack, witnesses say at least two gunmen wearing black fired indiscriminately into the dozens of worshipers -- including families -- in the mosque.

Thirty-nine people who were at the mosque during shooting were unharmed, Christine Coulombe, spokeswoman of National Police of Quebec, said.

One person has been arrested, the department said. A previous statement indicated that two arrests had been made. It's not clear what caused the discrepancy.

UPDATE

One of men arrested after mosque shooting now 'witness'

Only one of the two men arrested in connection with the Quebec mosque shooting is considered a suspect, police have said.

Mohamed el Khadir is now considered a witness and not a suspect of the shooting which killed six men.

The sole suspect is French-Canadian student Alexandre Bissonnette, a source told Reuters.

Alexandre Bissonnette

So does this mean we should start "Extreme Vetting" French-Canadians and throwing them out of the US?

Or is that different, because he only killed brown people who don't worship blond-haired blue-eyed Jesus?

Texas Mosque 'Completely Destroyed' in Early-Morning Fire
Associated Press
Jan 28, 2017
(VICTORIA, Texas) — An early-morning fire Saturday destroyed a Texas mosque that was a target of hatred several years ago and experienced a burglary just a week ago.

A clerk at a convenience store spotted smoke and flames billowing from the Islamic Center of Victoria at around 2 a.m. and called the fire department.

"It's sad to stand there and watch it collapse down, and the fire was so huge," Shahid Hashmi, the Islamic center's president, said. "It looks completely destroyed."

Victoria Fire Marshal Tom Legler asked for help from the Texas Fire Marshal's Office and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to determine what caused the blaze. Hashmi said authorities have told him it was too early to speculate.

"None whatsoever right now," the center director said. "We don't have any lead or information as to what started the fire and what happened. So I'm sure it's going to be a few days, they told us, before they can come up with any answers for us."
