The six men killed in a Quebec City mosque on Sunday night were shot in the back as they gathered for evening prayers, says the vice-president of the mosque where the attack occurred.
The victims, many of whom were fathers to small children, include a grocer who helped newcomers settle into the community, an esteemed food scientist who fled violence in Algeria in search of a better life for his family, a programming analyst for the Quebec government, two friends from Guinea and a pharmacy worker known for his kindness.
This is tragic to say the least! the only thing I can say that is "kind of" positive about this (even though it is nothing positive), is that this only proves that such atrocities aren't just committed by Muslims, like in this case, they were the target! And this doesn't make this any more acceptable! An atrocity is just what it is, no matter who is the culprit is and who the victim is!
Now some tensions have risen from this event as some extremists stated on social media that they were to get revenge and such....I sure hope they don't! There is already way too much violence in this world, wont the bloodshed ever stop?!
My heart goes with all the victims families and loved ones! These where Fathers, brothers, sons, etc. and many are feeling their sorrow!
You don't have a soul. You are a soul, you have a body!
This is really tragic. I only heard little snippets about what happened while I was away, but enough to hear how sad this was. My thoughts go out to the community and the survivors.
