The Public Relations Value in Islamofascist Terrorism Lunacy

"We are at a terrible loss for words but we must speak out to express our deepest condolences to the families who are now suffering on account of our son's horrific actions. We are utterly devastated by the incomprehensible news that our son was responsible for the senseless violence and loss of life that took place on the Danforth."
"Our son had severe mental health challenges, struggling with psychosis and depression his entire life. The interventions of professionals were unsuccessful. Medications and therapy were unable to treat him. While we did our best to seek  help for him throughout his life of struggle and pain, we could never imagine that this would be his devastating and destructive end."

"All of a sudden, he just started shooting. It seemed like he wanted to kill as many people as he could. He had this look in his face full of hate -- he was trying to kill people -- like a dog baring his teeth."
"He [Faisal Hussain] went back and finished her [18-year-old Reese Fallon] off. Obviously he wanted to do the most damage, kill as many people as he could. He was walking, stopped just a few steps from the corner, started shooting ... He went back, shot the woman, then started toward the corner, shooting."

"They had been shot, so I brought them downstairs, put on some gloves and tried to take care of it [their bloody wounds] as best I could."
"I shut the lights off and locked the doors because I didn't really know what was going on and I didn't know if the person would follow them into where they ran [her tattoo shop ]."

"[The gunman] just kept on walking. He ran across the street, and he did it like a first-person shooting game, like a Call of Duty kind of thing, where he just pulled it [handgun] out."
"He was yelling and just, Bam! Bam! He unleashed the whole clip."
"People started scattering, running everywhere."

The 18-year-old woman who died in the Toronto Danforth shooting has been identified as Reese Fallon of Toronto. Facebook

Ali Demircan also witnessed the frenetic scrambling of the Sunday night crowds of people ambling along the Danforth, sitting in cafes, going for family outings, meeting with friends at a gentrified urban heart-of-the-city called Greektown, a popular inner-city gathering spot for those living nearby, a place of leisure, relaxation, places to eat and to linger on a summer Sunday evening. He and his friends came across a young woman shot in the arm, as they began fleeing after an initial shooting. "She was so young", he said, describing her confusion and shock.

"I think she was following me", he said later in his witness report after he had suggested she sit on a bench while he called 9-1-1. And then they heard more gunshots and hurriedly began leaving the area. Then he was grazed by a bullet in his back and slumped to the ground, dragging forward in an effort to hide behind parked cars. And then, and then, the police arrived. "I saw that girl who talked with me. She was lying down there and she was bleeding too much", he said of 18-year-old Reese Fallon, who will never become the nurse she planned to attend college for.

The killer took the life of a ten-year-old girl, as well. Two young girls dead, but if he had had his way, shooting methodically and randomly, aiming at people sitting on patios, seated in ice cream parlours, walking along the Danforth and adjoining streets in his wide-ranging rambling, covering ground, visualizing himself Avenging Angel of Death while discarding spent clips, replacing them, shooting again at panicked victims, injuring another 13, until police arrived and shots were exchanged and the terrorist was found dead, prompting a routine investigation to determine whether if he was shot by police, it was justified.

Dreadful, beyond imagination of those who set out innocently for a quiet and pleasant evening on a lovely summer evening. Reese Fallon was with several of her friends. Their futures looking bright before them, their present a bonding time of intimate and trusted friends. How could they ever imagine that death would stalk them on a street they were so comfortably familiar with? Well, the parents of the killer are remorseful that their son was responsible for that carnage. Wasn't that a remarkably erudite, smooth apology, regretful and pained? They suffered a great loss too, didn't they?

In fact, perhaps they hadn't the verbal or written skills to produce such a soulful message of compassionate caring for others. But if they hired a public relations firm a message of that calibre would certainly result. On the other hand, if someone involved in burnishing and covering up the occasionally troubling presence of Islamists amidst Toronto's vast Muslim community would step forward to tell the Hussains to just leave everything to him that would solve their dilemma. So Mohammed Hasim filled their vacuum most professionally, the man a driving force representing the National Council of Canadian Muslims.

So now we know, do we not, that the murder and mayhem was definitely not a thing involving Islam, jihad and terror, it was the construct of a poor man who struggled for equilibrium in his psychological confusion and dreadful burden of mental illness. Canada, where is your patience, Toronto, where your compassion for this poor loner for whom life has always been painful? Victimized by the circumstances of, well, just life, you see. How uncharitable of Tarek Fatah to say it made him feel like 'vomiting' to read and hear Canadian news media discussing gun control issues; no one uttering the word "Islamic" or "terrorism".

Mohammed Hashim was described in a brief biographical sketch at CanRoots 2016, left-wing activist conference thusly: "His groundbreaking political advocacy, public relations and media work has been widely credited by insiders as framing a new narrative for Muslims in Canada. His workshop ‘Progressive organizing in the Muslim communities’ will demonstrate how the GTA Muslim community mobilized in the previous federal election, and laid the groundwork to start building a national political movement."

As for a man who might have been his protege but whom he is certainly cleaning up after, he was evidently on police radar. "He was fascinated with death and explosions. He also liked replica handguns", said a police source. This man lived with his parents in an apartment. They speak of their son having mental illness but themselves had no knowledge that he owned a firearm and plenty of ammunition and he was very relaxed and familiar with the use of a gun? It would be amusing if it were not so infuriating that Canadian news speak of the "alleged" Danforth attack. 

Canadians are shocked and traumatized. What has been happening in France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, the United Kingdom and elsewhere that Muslims have migrated to find a better life for themselves bringing with them their culture, their heritage, their religious devotion, their cleavage in Islamic sectarianism, their hatred of Jews and contempt for infidels, leading to outbreaks of violence attributed to mental breakdowns, is now happening as well in Canada.

Well, Canadians are civilized and patient and understanding. And we understand that Islam cannot be faulted for it is a religion of peace that just incidentally calls its faithful to their duty in jihad. Tarek Fatah testifies to Friday mosque prayers ending in a reminder to Muslims of their duty to despise the infidels and the Jews. This deep-seated pathology of hatred not only corrodes the sensibilities of the fundamentalists but those for whom Islamic ceremonials are no longer sacred; while jihad continues to be, answering the tribal heart of the believer.
