When this mass shooting happened, Islamophobes were quick to claim that Hussain was a jihadist waging war on Canadians. They held demonstrations at the shooting site, condemning Muslims.
But based on the police seizure of cocaine & Alex Jones/Infowars DVDs from the shooter’s home (as well as statements from his family that they practically had to drag him to mosque and a complete lack of any evidence that he was supportive of ISIS or their ilk), it looks like he was radicalized, but by racist right wing extremists and not “Islamists.”
That makes this the 2nd mass murder committed last year in Toronto by right wing extremists (the other one being the April van attack by an incel/misogynist) and the third in Canada in an eighteen-month period that left eighteen people dead and 37 injured.
