One victim suffered minor injuries, police said. In an earlier statement, the National Council of Canadian Muslims provided more details about what happened in the mosque.

The organization reported that the alleged attacker also tried to smash through the windows and kick and strike worshippers. According to the NCCM, the attacker also uttered a number of Islamophobic slurs and threats, including about Muslim terrorists, “how he was there to ‘finish the job’ and how he was Israeli.”

Police identified the suspect as 28-year-old Chandler Marshall of Toronto.

The arrest of a 16-year-old autistic girl for a ‘homophobic public-order offence’ raises some troubling questions.

Is it a crime to call a police officer a lesbian? Now there’s a question I never thought I’d have to pose. But following the release of shocking footage, showing a 16-year-old autistic girl being arrested by seven police officers over a ‘homophobic public-order offence’, it’s one that desperately needs to be answered.

ONE of the oddest things that has been accepted with little real challenge is the notion that there is such a thing as a ‘hate crime’. Throughout the Western world we have seen legislative changes and judicial advice that embeds the new notion that a crime is particularly heinous if it is motivated by an entirely subjective interpretation of whether it was motivated by ‘hate’ and whether that hate was directed at particular groups. We now have ‘hate crime laws’ on the statute books, in one form or another, of every Western nation.
