'Inclusive' Toronto Under Attack
Lloyd Billingsley April 25, 2018
Back in 2010, al Qaeda called for terrorist recruits to use trucks to “mow down the enemies of Allah.” In 2014, the Islamic State (ISIS) told fighters if they couldn’t find an IED or a bullet they should kill unbelievers with a knife, rock, or poison, or “run over him with your car.”
True to form, in Nice, Berlin, Barcelona, Stockholm, and London, Islamic terrorists used vehicles to mount deadly attacks. Uzbek Muslim Sayfullo Saipov, acting on behalf of the Islamic State, used a rented truck to murder eight victims in New York City last October.
Monday’s attack in Toronto was deadlier, with the driver killing Anne Marie D’Amico, an Invesco employee, and nine others, with 13 injured. As with other attacks, confusion prevailed about the motive.
The driver was Alek Minassian, 25, of nearby Richmond Hill, a Seneca College student supposedly unknown to the police, as some reports claimed, but known to the police in others. On Tuesday, he emerged as a “special needs” student who would walk around making meowing noises.

Horror in Toronto: But shooter Faisal Hussain’s motive remains ‘a mystery’
Can a 29-year-old depressed man also be a jihadist?
By LEO HOHMANN
A young woman and a little girl were killed Sunday night in a mass shooting carried out in a city where handgun laws are highly restrictive. Thirteen others were wounded, five critically, in a sad story that the media has again reduced to one of mental illness and guns.
Toronto police and the Ontario Special Investigations Unit waited nearly 20 hours after the shooting, which happened about 10 p.m. Sunday, before they released the perpetrator’s name — Faisal Hussain, age 29, “of Toronto.”
Hussain, dressed in black, can be seen on an Instagram video methodically walking up, pulling out his handgun and shooting into a restaurant where well-dressed Canadians were sipping drinks and eating desserts. He killed 18-year-old Reese Fallon, an aspiring nurse, and a 10-year-old girl, whose name has not yet been released.
Bodies reportedly laid strewn across several blocks.
By Monday late afternoon the provincial authorities finally provided the name of the deceased killer, but they still withheld other vital information, such as his immigration status. The Canadian media played along with its well-rehearsed game of don’t ask don’t tell.
Hussain’s motive, and much of his background, remains a mystery, they said. Did he come to Canada with his parents as a child refugee? Was he born in the country to migrant parents? If so, from what country did the family migrate?
