“If they’re not ready, I still say to them, ‘I’m sorry,’ ” he said. “I’m saddened for their injury or if they lost their dear one.”

But in a Facebook video posted early Monday, he said, “God himself will punish those involved in homosexuality.”

In one video, the elder Mateen expresses gratitude toward the Afghan Taliban while denouncing the Pakistani government. Afghan government officials said they did not know when Seddique Mateen left the country but noted millions of Afghans fled after it was invaded by the former Soviet Union in 1979.

Has not assimilated. Did not try to assimilate. Did not raise his son to assimilate.

Just my opinions.

My theory.

Dad found out son was gay, and made him commit this act to “cleanse himself”.

He’s a good son???

Ya, except for perpetrating a massacre, your son was a good boy. Holy blank..........

Ya, we are focusing so much on this massacre, rather than all the good he did in his life.........

"Omar Mateen was raised by a pro Taliban dd the emigrated to the US during the Carter administration."

The more I hear about this guy the more inclined I am to move him from "pro-Taliban" to hard core Taliban domestic operative.

I’d like to waterboard the father to find out what he knows, and he knows a lot.

“God himself will punish those involved in homosexuality.”

That statement is fine and good, the Bible goes on to call homosexuality an "abombination" and that word is not often used in the bible. But, this matter is between the Almighty and the sinner; not for some self-important idiot with a weapon and a bloodthirsty yearning to murder and torture others. I hope this animal rots in hell for all eternity for denying 50+ souls the chance to live our their lives and determine the fates of their souls.

In fact it boosted his creds with the Taliban when he seeks office in Afghanistan.

I’m saddened by the fact that only his son is dead and not the entire family.
