Putin opponent assassinated in Moscow

New York Times:

Boris Nemtsov, a prominent Russian opposition leader and former first deputy prime minister, was shot dead Friday evening in central Moscow in the highest-profile assassination in Russia during the tenure of President Vladimir V. Putin.

Violent chaos in Ottawa follows Islamist attack in Quebec

Just two days after the deadly Islamist jihadi attack in Quebec comes a deadly attack in Ottawa.  It's yet to be determined who the shooter(s) are.  My bet is, of course, on the Islamists.  Standing by for more news (and more pacifist left/lib and "moderate" Muslim excuse making).

 Progressivism, a modern-day death cult - pro-abortion, pro-Hamas, pro-suicide, pro-euthanasia.

London's Muslim terrorist butchery "A portrayal of Islam"

Al-Qaeda begs to differ:

Al-Shabaab To British PM David Cameron: “Not A ‘Betrayal’ Of Islam But Rather A ‘Portrayal’ Of Islam”…
