Bart,
Don't be so disingenuous. The very article you cite also says: Lépine was born Gamil Rodrigue Gharbi, the son of Algerian immigrant Rachid Liass Gharbi and Canadian Monique Lépine, in Montreal and was baptized a Catholic as an infant.
By all accounts, Lepine's father was an asshole, but I haven't read an article yet that stated he was a Muslim asshole. With a whopping 99% of Algeria being Muslim, it's a safe bet. But, thanks to the French, there's Catholics in Algeria too. Wait a titsch, maybe THAT explains how his father came to be married to a French Roman-Catholic!
Just an idea for you all, especially Truckersquatch2, to deal with.
Moving on, nothing in Lepine's madness was based on Islam. He was just an asshole misogynist with a rifle and a life that lasted one day too long.
I was baptized a Catholic, too. And I'm every bit as Catholic as Lepine was. Which, is to say, not very.
It's too bad the Catholicism didn't take hold in his life as he may have turned out different.
