On this day in 1989 a young man walked into Montreal’s École Polytechnique and for 45 minutes, roamed the halls, and shot to death 14 women.

25 year old  Marc Lepine shouted that he hated feminists before opening fire on the female students in a classroom.

The rampage has become known as the Montreal Massacre, and it has become catalyst  for efforts  to stop all violence against women.

Today, there will be a special memorial at the UNBC Wintergarden.  It starts at 11:30 and for two hours, there will be speakers, poets and musicians.  The memorial will be followed by a reception at the Northern Women’s Centre.

Feminists have been portraying the Montreal Massacre as typical of extreme male violence. In fact, the shootings were an act of Islamic jihad, like the World Trade Centre and Pentagon mass murders. The perpetrator - Marc Lepine - was born as Gamil Gharbi, and he grew up in a Muslim household.

Sura 4:84 of the Quran makes spousal battery compulsory for Muslim males; refusal to beat one's wife renders Muslim men a "kafir" (disbeliever). Females of the religion may be taken in polygamy - becoming 1 of 4 wives - but cannot wed more than 1 man. The men enjoy full custody of children on divorce. For them they divorce by proclaiming three times: "talaq." It takes years for a Muslim woman to end an unhappy marriage. If their women do something that causes the man "dishonour," then they may be killed with impunity. In Saudi Arabia, women are forbidden from driving.

Don't blame men for the massacre; blame Islam.
And to think that this character the "Truth" is the editor's trusted ally against the police? Wow.
