Alas, the media is now reporting that the shooter at the Quebec City mosque was an anti-Muslim Quebecer, family name Bissonnette. He was well known for his vitriolic posts condemning Islamic immigrants into our country. No doubt his paranoia, anger, and hatred were fueled by comments demonizing Muslim immigrants to our country. I wish people would come to realize that words and comments have consequences... sometimes fatal consequences which bring great harm to others. I know that I will continue to do my best to counter statements of bigotry with facts and those of hatred with Christian love. I thank those of you who share my concern for doing the same.
