Mass Murder in Orlando: It’s Global Jihad, Stupid
June 14, 2016 3:42 am
Shouting “Allahu akbar,” a 29-year-old American citizen with roots in Afghanistan entered a Florida nightclub at 2 am on Sunday morning and committed what is being called “the worst mass shooting in US history.”
While slaughtering 49 people and seriously wounding dozens of others, Omar Mateen phoned 9-1-1 and pledged allegiance to the leader of ISIS.
Mateen had planned the massacre in advance, purposely targeting a venue with which he was familiar, known to be frequented by lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgenders – the perfect personification of liberal Western values considered abhorrent to radical Muslims, regardless of their specific jihadist affiliation.
The FBI promptly launched an investigation into the now-dead Mateen, who had been working as a security guard at G4S Secure Solutions since 2007. It quickly emerged, however, that Mateen was already on the FBI’s radar for having various ties to Islamic radicalism.
About 10 hours after the massacre, with bodies still inside “The Pulse” — Orlando’s self-described “premier gay nightclub” — President Barack Obama addressed the nation to condemn the horrific incident, which, surprisingly, he referred to as an act of terror. Not the least bit surprisingly, he refused to utter the word “Islamist.” Instead, he declared the perpetrator a person “filled with hate.”
