Ed. here. Walt is ill. I have asked Poor Len Canayen if he could write about something other than hockey and our beloved Habs (4-0 victors over New York Islanders last night), and he says he will think about it and get back to me.
All I've heard from Walt is that he thinks the New Zealand and international politicians and media have gone over the top... WAY over... in their response to the Christchurch mosque shooting. Non-Muslim female cops and politicians wearing headscarves. Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules banned by NZ booksellers. Yet we hear nothing about the 1000s of Christians killed by Muslims in places like Nigeria, the Netherlands, you name it... Having said that, Walt went back to sleep.
Footnote: In Montréal this morning (Poor Len writes), Father Claude Grou, recot of Saint Joseph's Oratory, was stabbed during Mass. He was lightly injured on his upper body, according to the director of communications for the Oratory. A suspect -- a man with a beard -- was taken into custody and will be interviewed by investigators later today, she said. No word on the ethnicity or religion of the attacker. If shouts of "Allahu akbar!" were heard, the Canuck media aren't saying.
Footnote to the footnote: You think I'm jumping to conclusions there? You don't think a Muslim would attach a priest saying mass? Cast your mind back to July of 2016 when Father Jacques Hamel was attacked and killed by two Muslim fanatics while saying Mass in the parish of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, France. The two Islamic extremists had pledged allegiance to ISIS and thought murdering a priest would be a good way to show their devotion to the Prophet.
