Speaking of which, it has emerged that both of these recent Canadian Islamist murderers were mentally unstable, if not certifiably mentally ill, and both had drug-abuse problems. Bibeau, the one who attacked the Parliament Building, was a low-life crackhead living in a homeless shelter; he had been banned from one mosque, which had to change its locks to keep him out, for his anti-social behaviour. A fellow-Moslem at the homeless shelter said that for the several days leading to the attack, Bibeau had been "back on the drugs", and talking nonsensically about "the end of the world". Such is the stuff Islamist martyrs are made of.

It does appear that Bibeau may have had an accomplice, or handler - someone who helped him to acquire, or supplied him with, a car and a gun.
