It Was 20 Years Ago Today Mark Lepine Made "Feminists" Pay

On the day when Canadians recall the 20th anniversary of a massace at a Montreal school that became the symbol of Canada's "endemic male violence/hostility toward women" (truth be told, it was the act of one deranged individual--real name Gamil Gharbi--who "symbollized" no one save himself), it is instructive to watch this (h/t TS). It's a video of a former terrorist, a member of a radical jihadist group, who has now repented and is working to "reform Islam" (a tall order, indeed). Although this chap grew up in an affluent, secular home, he says that once he found religion, he embraced its teachings of violent jihad.

And what, you may ask, has that to do with the Ecole Polytechnique slayings? Well, according to the former terrorist, what most angers jihadis isn't the Jews, isn't America, isn't their co-religionists who shun jihad. It's "human rights" for women, and the desire--the obsession--with forcing them to conform to the (subservient) role that sharia has assigned them. In that way at least, Gharbi/Lepine, who left a note deriding "feminists" (i.e. uppity chicks who, as he saw it, didn't know their proper place) had something in common with today's jihadis.
