Sharia Montreal: Police arrest man for online hate speech targeting Muslims

This report doesn’t say what the man said, but if he wasn’t calling for violence against innocent people, then this is another example of how sharia blasphemy restrictions are being adopted by foolish and short-sighted authorities in the West.

“Montreal police arrest Kirkland man accused of online hate speech targeting Muslims,” CBC News, February 1, 2017:

Montreal police have arrested a Kirkland man accused of making hateful social media comments targeting Muslims.

The man was arrested overnight at a home on de Shediac Street, near de Berne Street in Kirkland.

Const. Raphael Bergeron said members of the Sûreté du Québec came across the alleged remarks while monitoring various social media sites.

They transmitted the information to Montreal police. Investigators were questioning the man, whose name has not been released….

Montreal police Chief Philippe Pichet said Tuesday that since Sunday night’s attack at a Quebec City mosque, there has been a spike in reports of hate-related comments.

The force is hiring 55 people whose jobs will include monitoring social media sites for hate speech.
