Feminism, Multiculturalism, the MSM, and Terrorism, the Unholy Alliance

I vaguely remembered this atrocity from a few years back. I didn't know we were lied to by the news outlets who reported it until this article by Mark Steyn.

every December 6, our own unmanned Dominion lowers its flags to half-mast and tries to saddle Canadian manhood in general with the blame for the Montreal massacre -- the 14 women murdered by Marc Lepine, born Gamil Gharbi, the son of an Algerian Muslim wife-beater, though you wouldn't know that from the press coverage. Yet the defining image of contemporary Canadian maleness is not M Lepine/Gharbi but the professors and the men in that classroom, who, ordered to leave by the lone gunman, meekly did so, and abandoned their female classmates to their fate -- an act of abdication that would have been unthinkable in almost any other culture throughout human history. The "men" stood outside in the corridor and, even as they heard the first shots, they did nothing. And, when it was over and Gharbi walked out of the room and past them, they still did nothing. Whatever its other defects, Canadian manhood does not suffer from an excess of testosterone.

Nope, I didn't know he was a Muslim either. So even 14 years ago, the MSM was preparing for the "anti-Muslim backlash" we've been promised since the September 11 attacks. Steyn covers more ground in this article and yes, you should read the whole thing.

I originally linked to Steyn from Gates of Vienna. Another good link and another perspective is here at New Sisyphus.
