text: Why do they keep going on about the fact that he was "white"?
  
  Is that some kind of code for "not muslim"?
  
  Surely the Canadian media are aware that  Canada has seen terrorist attacks carried out in St Jean Richelieu by a white man who was a muslim convert, and that many young "white men" have converted and joined ISIS.
  
  If this perp is christian or otherwise not muslim, just say so.
