There were the Toronto 18, plotting to attack federal institutions and capture and kill the prime minister. There was Corporal Nathan Cirillo, killed at the cenotaph while standing on guard over the tomb of the unknown soldier. The killing of Muslims is driven by hatred for them, but the killing in the mosque of men at prayer is something more, something worse. I hope to visit at some point the Quebec City mosque to offer prayers and solidarity with those Muslims killed during their evening prayers. The deaths of the six men at prayer in the Quebec mosque are a more powerful reminder still.
