Islamic terrorists target mainly other Muslims

I have been saying since 2003 that Islamist terrorists' principal targets are other Muslims, whom al Qaeda, ISIS, et. al. consider Muslim heretics.

And now it appears that this kind of terrorist attack has come to Canada: Canada says Quebec City mosque attack that killed 6 is terrorism.

MONTREAL — Canada’s prime minister said early Monday that a shooting at a Quebec City mosque during evening prayers that killed six people and injured eight was an act of terrorism.

"We condemn this terrorist attack on Muslims in a center of worship and refuge," Justin Trudeau said in a statement. "It is heart-wrenching to see such senseless violence. Diversity is our strength, and religious tolerance is a value that we, as Canadians, hold dear."

The incident took place Sunday night. More than 50 people were in the mosque at the time of the assault. Police said two suspects were arrested and they don't believe there are further suspected perpetrators at large.

One suspect in Quebec attack is French-Canadian, one of Moroccan heritage:

One suspect was identified as Alexandre Bissonnette, a French-Canadian, the other as Mohamed Khadir, who is of Moroccan heritage although his nationality was not immediately known, according to the source.

And the killers apparently shot in Islamist terrorist manner:

One of two gunmen who shouted 'Allahu akbar!' as they opened fire at a mosque in Quebec City was of Moroccan origin, a witness and local media reported Monday, revealing the first details about the attackers in the massacre that killed six men. ...

 A witness who asked to remain anonymous told Radio Canada the two shooters were masked.

“It seemed to me that they had a Quebecois accent. They started to fire, and as they shot they yelled, 'Allahu akbar!' The bullets hit people that were praying. People who were praying lost their lives. A bullet passed right over my head,” the person said.

Let us pray that this attack is not a harbinger of more such acts to come.

Update: Well, maybe this counts as good news, although "good" is a hard word to use in connection with this atrocity: Mohamed Khadir, the Moroccan, has been cleared by police as a suspect. They say now that the only shooter was Bissonnette. Details.
