Social-Media History: Politician Marine and Spy Agency

social-media history: It is too early to know what prompted the crimes and, so far, accused shooter Alexandre Bissonnette has been charged with murder and attempted murder, but not terrorism, according to Guelph Mercury. Still, Bissonnette's social-media history suggests he was a fan of far-right, anti-immigrant French politician Marine Le Pen. But the shootings at a Quebec City Islamic centre may well represent the flip-side of that coin the hate-killing of Muslims. Canada's spy agency and academic researchers have been quietly probing the phenomenon of right-wing extremism, and the concerns will figure into federal plans for a national office of counter-radicalization. But under the heading Domestic Extremism, the spy service also underscored the recent development of a Canadian online anti-Islam movement, similar to ones in Europe. In a September 2014 briefing to federal officials, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service warned of the threat posed by terrorist groups al-Qaida, Hezbollah and the more radical Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
