Her quip about the firefighters was not a direct threat of violence against the church, although her remarks can certainly be seen as tolerating and even approving of such violence if it occurred. She was saying that Allah might strike the church in Quebec, after saying that he struck the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris because of France’s ban on the burqa and niqab. However, Eve Torres likely knows that the Qur’an says that Allah will punish the unbelievers “by the hands” of the Muslims (9:14), and so there is an implicit invitation to Muslims to attack the Quebec church. Welcome to multicultural Canada.
“Notre-Dame Fire: Manon Massé distances herself from Eve Torres,” translated from “Incendie de Notre-Dame: Manon Massé se distancie d’Eve Torres,” by Jocelyne Richer, Canadian Press, April 16, 2019:
Quebec: The controversial comments of a former Solidaire candidate on the fire that ravaged the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris put Quebec Solidaire in trouble on Tuesday.
The co-spokesperson of Quebec Solidaire (QS), Manon Massé, took care to distance herself from the party’s candidate in Mont-Royal-Outremont in the last election, Eve Torres, who is of Muslim faith.
Ms. Massé asked the latter to retract, believing that her remarks would only exacerbate the debate around Bill 21 on religious symbols.
In a confused message posted and removed from her Facebook page, Ms. Torres, who has already been among the political analysts invited to the show La Joute on the TVA network, suggested that the fire in Paris Monday was the result of a divine intervention related to the prohibition of religious symbols in France.
According to Ms. Torres, banning religious signs can stir up the wrath of “the imaginary friend.” And then “here is the result!,” she wrote.
“If I were (Quebec Premier François) Legault, I would have firefighters sleep in the church on Notre-Dame Street” in Montreal, she continued.
“I was very troubled” by the words of Ms. Torres, said Ms. Massé on the air, adding that if it was a joke she was “very bad taste.”
This type of intervention only contributes to “ruining the debate”, according to Ms. Massé.
A former QS candidate, Ms. Torres was also a member of the Québec Solidaire coordinating committee until recently.
Ms. Torres finally apologized, saying that her message was a joke.
Immigration Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette, who is piloting Bill 21, also denounced Ms. Torres.

Allah, the destroyer of breathtaking beauty. What a choice of deity!
mortimer says
Allah is truly a cosmic sadist made in the image of the vicious pirate Mohammed.
J D.S says
GOD did not Destroy this beautiful church in Paris which I have visited but islams allah (aka) satan, using the hands and feet of adherents. just may have.
William A Carr says
Do they really think allah’s plan for his creation is to have one part trying to dominate or eliminate the other to gain dominance for ‘his’ religion, what idiots they are. Plus what a useless and cruel ‘god’ he must be.
Will says
Eve Torres, presumably a ‘moderate’~!?!
The vicious effrontery of these crazed sharia ideologues knows no modesty yet veil themselves in scarves self-professing their ‘virtue’ ….. Seemingly it’s impossible to veil the heart’s immodest vulgar vanities …. It isn’t easy to veil evil …..
mortimer says
The Red-Green Axis of Globalist Islamism is falling apart as Muslims reveal their true colors and and true agenda of Islamic supremacism through violent jihad.
One gets the impression from Eve Torres’s remarks that she is inviting Muslims to attack Christian churches in Quebec.
I have warned Christian clergy that they should have a trained and armed member of the congregation sitting near the door at all services, especially Christmas and Easter which are extremely offensive to Muslims. We should expect the tempo of jihad to increase since the fight has ended in Syria and Iraq. It will now shift to Christian churches.
cathykaech says
Spot on mortimer.
James Lincoln says
mortimer,
Perhaps some law-abiding parishioners – who feel comfortable with the concept – may consider concealed carry handguns.
I know that some already do.
Al Roy says
Well said, and great advice. But then I remember that this is Canuckistan, and having an armed church member by the door would probably get the Islam protecting RCMP on their backs.
paul r says
Ah right the irony of complaining you cant have a gun in Canada where the national average of murderous gun sprees comparatively to the US pales, a place where you can have one in any circumstance.
Gordon davey says
Canadians should know that THE AGENDA with Steve Pakin destroyed an episode which included Muslim guests and one was asked if they believed they each and everyone of them had to kill an infidel in order to get to their
” Heaven” the answer of course was a clear YES .
Shortly after , instead of being archived this episode disappeared.
WHY other than politically too hot .
Renate says
Some people aren’t so sure the retribution was “divine”:

elee says
Be aware: this video includes a five-second clip showing what looks like a man in traditional Muslim garb walking on a portion of one of the towers of this cathedral as fire rages over the main church. It appears that this was excerpted from a longer tape, and that on the original video one can see other, identically-garbed figures handling firehoses at the same time and place. The apparent Muslim garb is apparently French firefighting gear. Someone seems to have excerpted this fuzzy section of tape and published it alone. Maybe some people transmitted the excerpt without knowing about the parts with the firehoses, but somebody, somewhere, saw the whole film and knowingly excerpted a misleading moment. In short, it seems that somebody, somewhere, is a fraudulent hatemonger. And as has been said elsewhere here (paraphrase): Muslims generate enough hateful, destructive real-life words and acts, nobody needs to invent any fake ones. As to the Muslim jubilation evidenced in the tweet excerpts, so far no one seems to contest that these things actually got posted, and I haven’t heard of anyone claiming that (all, or some, or any of) the posts were fakes.
Renate says
I’m not so convinced by your explanation. The narrator said that video was filmed when there wasn’t supposed to be anyone in the Cathedral, so that would have been BEFORE firefighters arrived. If that’s part of a longer video showing firefighters, can you post a link to the longer video? Are you just trying to excuse the guilty party?
CRUSADER says
Yeah. Post the link if that lengthy explanation is so….
Gee willickers….
gravenimage says
Here’s one link of many:
“No, there was not a man ‘dressed in Muslim garb’ walking in a Notre Dame tower during the fire”
https://www.politifact.com/facebook-fact-checks/statements/2019/apr/16/facebook-posts/no-there-was-not-lone-man-dressed-muslim-garb-walk/
Renate says
I’m thinking that Politifact may collaborate with Facebook to downplay jihad attacks. I still didn’t see any video with the other “firefighters”. Just in the last few years, there have been over 800 attacks on churches and people in them in France, including the beheading of a priest, so jihad is a possibility. Do you really think that the Cathedral of Notre Dame would hire incompetent tradesmen to work at any renovations on the building, people who would put the Cathedral at risk of a fire? I don’t think so.
Sheila says
French firemen wear nightgowns to work?
For real?
Gordon Miller says
Yes, the real underlying problem we here inAmerica and the in Europe, as we see every day, is that many of us have contracted “cuddle muslim disease.”
mortimer says
A veiled threat and a threat about veils.
References for ‘veiled threat’:
-K.11.173 “Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed.”
-K.2.178 “O you who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain.”
– K.5:33 “The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land.” Waging war against Allah is rejecting Him.”–Tafsir of Imam al-Bukhari
-Imam AbdulLatif ibn AbdurRahman rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it can’t be said that he acts upon Tawheed, nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
-(“The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do MISCHIEF in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land.”) `Wage war’ mentioned here means: oppose and contradict, and it includes (opposing) disbelief.”–Tafsir Ibn Kathir “Surat al-Ma’idah [Q 5]”
Note: ‘mischief’ can mean any action or rule that restricts Muslims.
elee says
“The appropriate penalty for those who wage war against Allah and his Messenger and run about in the land creating disorder is that they be slain or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on alternate sides, or that they be expelled from the land.” Koran 5:34 (Muhammad Zafrulla Khan translation).

There’s that smug Muslima smirk again. Ilhan Omar sports one. So does Linda Sarsour and Rashida Tlaib. I’d like to know, when they take out their clitoris does it cause a permanent smirk?
mortimer says
Yes, ‘smug smirk’. I have observed that many (not all) Muslims cannot resist SMIRKING when kafirs suffer.
They believe that kafirs DESERVE to suffer and thus they feel no compassion.
Islam creates psychopathy.

Every Muslim is a victim of Islam. Say nothing of every Muslima. Oh and also anyone else who falls under the power of the death cult.
Pat says
What do you expect from a Muslim that hates Christians?
Julius Bond says
Three things long cannot be hidden. The sun, the moon, and the truth. The Muslim’s true colors are showing for the whole world to see. They care nothing for Christianity and want us all dead.
mortimer says
It has been said ‘many a true word hath been spoke in jest’.
After being scolded by her own party, Torres finally apologized, saying that her message was a joke.
James Joyce said ‘in risu veritas’ (in laughter is truth).
somehistory says
she wasn’t joking. she’s just too islam-livered to say so. she believes the fire was caused by her brothers in France and she hopes some are willing to act against churches where she lives so she can wiggle her tongue and pass out candy.
Hideous and evil.

How come that any Muslims are still elected in the Western world. Too many of them have proved that they are a danger to our future. What does it takte to make the voters think?
David says
Many voters are muslims.
elee says
The day before this happened I posted: kafirs, prepare to defend everything that elevates the human spirit. Isn’t it funny how Muslims and Islamophobes assert exactly the same things? Hmmmm…..
CRUSADER says
How is that ‘funny’ ?
Dano says
Funny as in strange. It’s not “ha ha” funny.
CogitoErgoSum says
Did everyone have a good laugh at this lady’s joke about how firefighters should start sleeping in churches? Wasn’t that funny? Islam is such a fun religion. It goes back to Muhammad’s well known sense of humor. They say that one time a man came to Muhammad and offered him a ride on his camel and Muhammad replied, “We should give you a ride on a baby camel instead.” The man said, “But how can I ride a baby camel?” Muhammad replied, “Isn’t every camel the baby of its mother?” Now I ask you —- isn’t that hilarious?
Muhammad loved a good prank too. My favorite is the time he told some strangers passing through that if the wing of a fly touched their drink it was unhealthy. But if both wings of the fly landed in the drink it was okay since one wing of the fly contained the cure for whatever disease might be hiding in the other wing. So Muhammad’s guests made sure that any flies that landed on their cups were completely dunked into their drinks. Of course, the next morning the guests complained of having upset stomachs so Muhammad told them that a great cure for that was to drink some camel’s milk mixed with some of the camel’s urine. What a joker! The unsuspecting men believed it, thanked Muhammad for his hospitality and medical advice and continued on their journey. Muhammad bid them farewell with a knowing smirk on his face — very similar to the one on the lady in the picture above.
Of course, the men must have eventually figured out that Muhammad had been pranking them but they failed to see the humor in it. So they decided to play a practical joke of their own on the next Muslim they came across and killed all his camels and the Muslim too. Naturally, Muhammad failed to see the humor in their joke and so he tracked them down and had them all slaughtered. So in the end, Muhammad had the last laugh. And Muslims have been killing people with their jokes ever since. Ain’t life with Islam grand?
What a funny world we live in.
CogitoErgoSum says
You may be asking yourself but why did these men kill the poor Muslim man and his camels? Well, aside from being in a bad mood caused by having suffered through explosive diarrhea in the desert, the men just lost all control when the poor Muslim man tried to cheer them up by repeating Muhammad’s joke about the baby camel.
David says
‘slam dunk!
Heather says
I had a great laugh at your humour, very funny. I sometimes have a chuckle when I pass some in the street or mall, it’s better than the disgust I really feel.
CogitoErgoSum says
Thanks. I embellished things a little but many Muslims will tell you that almost all of what I wrote is true. I think the guy who said there’s no humor in Islam was just joking.
CRUSADER says
Oh ….certainly Humor and Islam go right hand in right hand.
But the Humor is at Islam not in Islam…

Torres, came around, and said… ‘it was a joke’.
That’s what passes for a joke in islamic society- our god may burn you to the ground.
Okey dokey.
Now, if any jew or christian had uttered those words, what do you think would have been the response….mere backing away as was reported?
No. It woudl be total recrimination and calls for self reflection and interfaith dialogue and remorse etc etc.
Lydia Church says
No, but all destruction of mosques and all things islamic are the one true God’s punishment and retribution against muslims and all of their crimes! I pity them not.
somehistory says
A video posted yesterday, showed…very clearly, up close… French firefighters working to put out the blaze and they were all dressed just about like American firemen dress…thick coat, pants, helmet, dark (;looks black) fabric with yellow stripes on the coat.
Just sayin.
FYI says
The muslima sweetheart almost looks like… a clone of Linda Sarsour.
The same blank,vacuous face of the Hijabbed muslima who doesn’t get Irony.
And probably doesn’t know what her “prophet” said,the reason a woman’s testimony is HALF that of a man..
It is “because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind”
Sahih bukhari 2658
muhammed {or the MSP,Muhammed’s Sock Puppet or “allah”} does not like women:-
Abu Dawud 2155
“Women are to be compared to slaves and camels with regard to the evil in them”
Tabari 9:1754
“women are like domestic animals..”
Sahih Muslim 4:1039
“Aisha said,you have made us women equal to the dogs and asses”
Most muslima,according to muhammed, go to hell anyway{Sahih Muslim 241},the ungrateful females{the takfurna}..
All that false islamic piety to a pagan god allah {“the best of deceivers” k3:54},the misogynistic Arab god,all that Hijab wearing for nothing………this muslima sweetheart wears her Hijab in honor of a misogynistic god whose “prophet” says women are deficient in intellect.
David says
The fact that women wear the veil is proof of their deficiency of intellect.
Crusades Were Right says
She looks quite pale in the pic. If only she were a couple of shades darker – then she’d be absolutely criticism-proof. (See Ilhan Omar for details.) lol
Indiana Tom says
“If I were (Quebec Premier François) Legault, I would have firefighters sleep in the church on Notre-Dame Street” in Montreal, she continued.
Might want to put some armed soldiers there as well.
somehistory says
After seeing so many of these outspoken moslim females, I have come to the conclusion…perhaps a wrong one…that they wear the complete islamic outfit to hide overindulgence and aging skin. Because they all look basically shapeless… like blobs.
It’s obvious that they don’t have to for their evil belief when they live in a “free” country. So, they must be some very unhappy people and wish to make the rest unhappy. Like the moslim who killed the young man “because he was so happy.”
One reason I say this is because every young and thin moslim female I see around where I live, wears more revealing clothing…except for the scarf. But the older ones, wear the blob clothing and the scarf.
CRUSADER says
Hateful Speech, particularly after the New Zealand mosque “incident”….

Canada: Muslim politician says Notre Dame fire was divine retribution, firefighters should sleep in local church
…………………
That this vicious Muslimah is a politician in Canada should alarm any patriotic Canadian.
Infidel Lass says
Come now, ladies and gents, cut the woman some slack. I’m certain that she also believes that the fire at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, caused by children playing, that happened the same night the Notre-Dame fire did, was also divine retribution.
Oh…wait…
infidel says
Muslims often make sick cruel jokes on the misery of non Muslims and then make false apologies if they are cornered.
Or Else! says
“It’s just a joke.”
“It’s just mental illness.”
“It’s just a lone wolf.”
“It’s just your Islamophobia.”
At some point for the Left, you’d hope Islamic excuses have to become “just too much to swallow”–votes be damned.
Paddy OConnor says
Mohammadans react more swiftly and destructively to cowardice than anything else in my view. It’s long past the time when people began to get organized to counter Mohammedan attacks.
Over 30 yrs back I spent 2 wonderful weeks in Paris in a great wee hotel called Hotel Saint Cyr just 2 blocks or so from Notre Dame and I planned to return this year. Now that plan is in ruins just like Notre Dame.
While back in Canada Mohammedans are threating similar for Canadians ;and PM Trudeau,like Obama,will stick up for them.
High time people got organized.
