Um, Richard, do you consider the Toronto Star to be a right-wing rag spreading right-wing propaganda?

I do not. I consider it to be left of centre.

And yet here is a quote from their main page news article about the shooter:

"Among the (web) pages he (selected as) “liked” were those of... the federal NDP and former NDP leader Jack Layton."

The shooter was clearly an anti-Muslim extremist, and 90 percent of your post is on the money. But given the shooter's pro-NDP and pro-Jack Layton leanings, it is both simplistic and silly to ram the shooter into some pure "right wing" camp the way you (and so many others on this board) do.

It is particularly odd to do that when you consider that polls a couple of years ago found that NDP voters were MORE likely than (party to their right) Liberal voters to be intolerant of the Niqab at swearing-in ceremonies. So that cloud of intolerance you allude to, it is not all stuck on the right side of the political spectrum...
