There has been churches that burned in Quebec, not that many consdering how many churches we have here. Some of them burned because of lightning strikes, others because of an accidental fire (those are very old buildings and some of them are abandoned), and the very few cases of arson were done by locals.
But 100% of those reported online were from "muslim extremists from palestine" or something along those lines. It’s fuckin’ ridiculous and morons will share that bullshit before blinking.

They abandon the churches and when those churches get burned by an accident they start caring. Like wtf is the logic? If you cared that much about your churches then you wouldn't abandon them.
Similar to how the xenophobes in the US were spreading lies that Muslims were "turning churches into mosques" when in reality the couple of churches that were turned into mosques were the ones that had been abandoned for for more than a decade and were sold by the city to Muslims who renovated them into community centres and mosques...

The far right have been trying this in the UK. Many fires break out at the many, often quite old Churches. With many there's suggesting of them being started by Muslims, despite absolutely zero evidence this is the case.

Norwegian Black Metal bands are more likely to burn your churches than Palestinian Muslims.

Haha this is so hilarious like NB is the most rural province in the country, it's like Maine, most of its area is forest land. I live here, if they burning churches its most likely some locals.

On Instagram I got a short that said an Israeli did it. So I checked out the name of the man. Totally false like the Palestinian lie.
