Tonight, two gunmen opened fire at the Islamic Cultural Center in Quebec City killing five congregants. The two gunmen are in custody but have not been identified.
A witness reports the gunmen shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attack, a calling card of far too many Islamic terrorist attacks. The question, of course, is whether Muslims killed fellow Muslims or if non-Muslims were adding insult to injury.
Of course, Muslims are the frequent victim of Islamic terrorism in the Muslim world. I suppose it was only a matter of time before there was a Muslim on Muslim attack in the West.
Regardless of who perpetrated the attack, five people engaged in prayer were taken away from those families in an act of terrorism.
UPDATE: The death toll has now risen to six. Although the suspects have been in custody for some time now the authorities have not been forthcoming in releasing their names. I have some further thoughts here.
