Canada may seem like a nice place with their special bacon, hockey, and countless moose, but as of lately Canada has seen some hard times. Over the past three days Canada has seen not one, but two acts of terrorism. On October 24 two Canadian marines were struck by a car being driven by a man that was influenced by radical Islam. A chase ensued between Canadian authorities and the driver. The driver eventually lost control of his vehicle and was shot by police. The driver could have been influenced by the terror group ISIS in the Middle East. Many people from all around the world have gone to the Middle East to fight for ISIS but others have stayed in their own country and attempted terrorist attacks on their government.
Only two days after that attack, Michal Zehaf-Bibeau, shot and killed a reservist Cpl. Nathan Cirillo then ran into the Canadian parliament, possibly trying to shoot more people but was taken down by authorities. This man was also influenced by radical Islam.
Could this be a start to a new wave of terror attacks in the Western World?

If this happened in Canada will it eventually happen here in America? Or have incidents already happened here in America?
ReplyDeleteReally great article and looks very nice (also nice G+ picture). What do you think we should do about ISIS?
ReplyDeleteThis article is great for showing just how influential ISIS can be not only in the Middle East but across the globe. What is being done to try and prevent future attacks?
