text: I see from the comments here- that many people are blaming the Muslim religion (rather than Islamist) for this tragedy- even without definitive proof that the perpetrator was a radicalized Islamist.
  I had relatives killed by fellow Christians in Ireland during 'the Troubles". I vowed then that I would never condemn an entire religion for acts of thuggery.
  I despair of what will happen to our society if we blame 'the other" without proof of wrongdoing- or condemn millions for the actions of a few.
  Now I am off to our Toronto Christmas market.
  I am done with the G&M comment sections which seem to be a meeting place for bigotry and hatred.
