Canada: Muslim politician who claimed Notre Dame fire was wrath of Allah apologizes and plays the victim

65

Several days ago the Geller Report brought you the news of the Quebec Muslim politician Eve Torres, who said of the Notre Dame fire that Allah had caused it because of France’s burqa ban: “Torres said that the ban had provoked the ‘wrath’ of Allah and ‘here is the result!'” She also issued an implicit threat: “I would sleep firefighters at the basilica of Notre-Dame Street in Montreal.” Now she has apologized, but in a predictable Islamic manner: she claims she has received threats and is playing the victim: “I acknowledged my mistake. Getting criticism, people being offended or angered, people expressing themselves, people criticizing, it’s understandable. Nobody in Quebec should fear for her safety or her life because she expresses an opinion, a different point of view.”

How ridiculous. It is highly doubtful she has received any threats, and she didn’t just offer an “opinion, a different point of view.” Her statements were hateful and vicious, and she is trying to shame people into fearing to criticize them.

“Notre-Dame de Paris: Eve Torres apologizes for her comments,” translated from “Notre-Dame de Paris: Eve Torres s’excuse pour ses commentaires,” by Béatrice Roy-Brunet, Le Journal de Montréal, April 18, 2019:

The former Québec solidaire candidate Eve Torres has formally apologized for her “joke” in poor taste after the fire at the Notre-Dame cathedral at the beginning of the week.

“I will not talk about my statement that has really hurt many people but once more I offer them my sincere apologies,” Ms. Torres said during a press conference under police protection.

Ms. Torres, a Muslim, made a comment linking the fire at Notre-Dame in Paris to Bill 21 that was introduced by the Legault government regarding religious symbols worn by public sector employees. “[…] When you prevent others from wearing religious symbols, you anger our ‘Imaginary Friend,’ and you can see the result,” she wrote on social networks.

She added that if she were [Quebec Premier] François Legault, she “would have firefighters sleep in the basilica on Notre-Dame Street [in Montreal].”

“Apparently, somebody started retweeting this on more radical social networks and after that everybody had a field day,” she said.

Later, Ms. Torres withdrew her comment and pointed out that it was a joke. “It was too late but it was the first thing to do.”

[Québec solidaire leader] Manon Massé also distanced herself from the comment published by her party’s candidate in Mont-Royal-Outremont in the last [provincial] election.

Eve Torres indicated that she understands “the extent of her responsibility.” “From this experience, I will remember how important the use of words is in the public space. We all have a responsibility to maintain social cohesion, particularly those of us who are public personalities.”

Hateful messages

Many hateful messages targeted the former QS candidate after her comment. “It did not stop. People had never seen so much backlash,” she indicated, adding that for many years she has received hateful messages and “real threats.”

“I acknowledged my mistake. Getting criticism, people being offended or angered, people expressing themselves, people criticizing, it’s understandable,” she explained.

“Nobody in Quebec should fear for her safety or her life because she expresses an opinion, a different point of view.”

Isaiah 57:21
There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
Obama and Muslims can testify to that. They never have peace. All they sow is division, violence, death and hate.

Hew apology means absolutely nothing.
Apologies are good when you make a mistake resulting in hurting others but this was not what you meant to do.
This woman vicious remark was meant to be and say exactly as she said it. The only reason she apologized was to keep her job. I want her fired.

If the fire had taken place the day after the ban there might be somecause for concern about ‘god’s’ action, however it was along time ago do they think ‘god’ has a to do list and works though it. Not to mention all the attacks on other churches and the planned attack on Notre Dame in 2016

It’s NOT A JOKE – it’s a TRAGEDY – NOTRE DAME is a SYMBOL of CHRISTIANITY – 900 yr history!
Eve Torres – it’s not what you say – it’s who you really ARE that’s the problem.
Not that it’s gonna happen – but there should be a law that all practicing muslims should be extradited back to their homeland where they can can practice their “religion” in “peace”. They reproduce like rabbits so they can “repopulate” their countries.

Well said. Thank you.
liars, manipulators,and all demand nothing less than full control and the complete overthrow of us and our lands and THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHILE CANUKS ARE TOO BUSY SHOPPING!
THEY BREED LIKE ROACHES, ARE TOP PRIORITY WHILE PROTECTED AND SERVED FIRST (well second to mohammad trudeau and his radical nazi regime) in our land while given top positions in our so called religious free governments and then begin right away taking advantage of our FREEDOMS, DEMOCRACY, FEAR OF BEING CALLED ISLAMOPHOBIC AND SO ON TO FULFILL THEIR AGENDA OF COMPLETE EXTERMINATION OF WE CANUKS AND WHAT USED TO BE A COUNTRY- OUR COUNTRY, CANADA – NOW CANUKISTAN!
We WILL NOT SURVIVE ANOTHER TERM WITH MOHAMMAD AND NAZI BUTTS – OH AND THE MOSLEM BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS OF TRUDEAUS CULT NOR WILL WE SURVIVE ANOTHER TEN YEARS OF THE RADICAL ISLAMIC INVASIO AS THEIR FAKE REFUGEE INVASION CONTINUES UNABATED!
We can only hope the U.S. (being just across the 49th) will retain their current will to live (Trump or someone just like him) and they will simply arm the borders with their military and ORDER MOHAMMAD TO FIX IT OR THEY WILL ! Just as they told his nazi father, pierre elliott trudeau during the FLQ crisis!
Thank GOD for the U.S.A.! Canadians are morons and filled with more anti canadian, blood sucking foreigners and muslims all here and invading every hour NOT TO BE CANADIAN BUT RATHER TO OVERTHROW, BUILD THEIR OWN LANDS AND CASH IN ON US AND THE FORMER CANADA AND WE STUNNED CANUKLEHEADS CONTINUE TO ALLOW IT!!
They simply don’t come ANY DUMBER OR MORE PATHETIC having had one of the BEST FREE, DEMOCRATIC, SAFE, CLEAN, RESOURCE FILLED, PEACEFUL, WEALTHY NATIONS ON THE PLANET but because of their selfishness via their demand for their ‘entitlements’ and the non stop shopping, spending, and so on, have paid NO ATTENTION to what has been going on for the past 6 DECADES and now we are BORDER-LESS,LAWLESS, LEADERLESS, BANKRUPT, TERRORIST/CRIMINAL/PARASITE/THIRD WORLD FILLED POST NATIONAL STATE SEWER!
