Durand Jirga has a facebook page - it was the first link that came up on google. It’s almost entirely in Arabic.

The Durand Jirga, Inc.
137 VIEWS

The Durand Jirga, Inc. is a religious nonprofit in Florida, operated by Mir Seddique, the father of Pulse Orlando Shooting killer Omar Mateen.

Mir Seddique operates religious non-profit The Durand Jirga, Inc. in Port St Lucie, Florida. He is an immigrant from Afghanistan. He is the father of Pulse Orlando Shooting killer Omar Mateen. [2]?

Seddique insists his son’s crime has nothing to do with ISIS or Islam. He told NBC News:

“This has nothing to do with religion. We are saying we are apologizing for the whole incident. We weren’t aware of any action he is taking. We are in shock like the whole country.” [3]?

However, ISIS has already taken credit for the massacre.

In a 2011 speech at a fundraiser for The Durand Jirga, Inc., Seddique was noted for saying: “Pull out your swords and slay anyone that says Pashtun and Afghan are not one! Arabs know this and so do Romans: Afghans are Pashtuns, Pashtuns are Afghans!” [4]?

So, let’s just call a spade a spade: his entire family are jihadists. And the stupid FBI couldn’t figure this out and Florida authorities are the Keystone Cops.

Of course, Annie! The minute the father appeared claiming his son didn’t like men kissing, I knew he was engaging in a little taqiya.

Gays and cross dressers are being told it’s okay to kiss in public and use any restroom they please. Now what will they say about a muslim who sees this sick crap and kills 50 people? One or the other has to stop and I guarantee the muslims aren’t going to change.

“(Mateen) opened fire with an assault rifle”

He had a select-fire (auto) AR-15?

We tend to be a diverse, live and let live society.

My view on homosexuality is hate the sin and love the sinner.

Islam has no tolerance for diversity.

Yet liberals persist in believing that its open-minded.

The Oslo Massacre demonstrated the exact opposite is true.

He is reportedly divorced. Remarried?
His father is claiming that Omar was in Miami two months ago with his wife and son.
I don’t know that I believe the story about this Muslim family strolling around Miami listening to music.

Seems to me that he’d have to have had some sort of full auto firearm, to shoot over a hundred people in such a short space of time.

There’s a lot of Durand Jirga videos on youtube. Apparently the father was on Afghan tv. There’s an email and phone number on one video — area code of Orlando.

You’re looking at 20-30K or more for a fully automatic M-16 or AR. I suspect it was just more ignorant reporting.
If not it would be worthwhile looking into how he got it.
