Marc Lépine (October 26, 1964 – December 6, 1989), born Gamil Gharbi
Why, Sasquatch, "Gamil Ghabi" is as Catholic as Father Paddy O'Hara is!

Gamil's father had contempt for women and believed that they were only intended to serve men.
Sounds perfectly
halal to me.
Seriously, while there's no evidence that Ghabi/Lepine was much of a practicing Muslim or Catholic, his attitudes certainly did hail from his fathers cultural background.
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.
