other articles about this have said it was a “mob of midde eastern men” and the video that is on some sites shows that they were middle eastern. as far as them being Syrian? who knows. But it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that their religious beliefs were likely at play.
I see your point, but I have gay friends here in Montreal that were beat up by regular white dudes just because they were kissing in the street.
And what about the shootings that happened in the States in gay clubs? Those were white Christians.
If people are brought up as bigots, they’re gonna be just that. Regardless of their origin or religion. Though I admit, in some places it’s pretty systemic.
Actually the shooting at gay night clubs in the states are usually not white Christians. The most famous to me was the Pulse night club shooting by Omar Mateen, an Islamic extremist.
I think it’s safe to say that anyone attacking the LGBTQ community is a religious extremist of some variety though.

Well, if there are plenty of bigots, why import more?
Both sides. Gotcha.
That’s not at all what I’m saying. And I don’t see how you can even interpret my reply like that.
