Obama: Orlando shooting was a case of ‘homegrown extremism,’ gunman inspired by online propaganda

ORLANDO — President Obama said the gunman who opened fire in a nightclub here on Sunday appeared to be motivated by extremist propaganda online, saying that authorities have not found any links connecting this attacker with other radical groups.

Obama called the shooting a case of “homegrown extremism” on Monday, saying that the gunman appeared to be “inspired by various extremist information that was disseminated over the Internet.” The gunman who carried out the deadliest shooting rampage in American history called 911 during a three-hour standoff with police and pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State, a group also known as ISIS or ISIL, authorities have said.

“We see no clear evidence that he was directed externally,” Obama said during remarks in the Oval Office. “It does appear that at the last minute, he announced allegiance to ISIL. But there is no evidence so far that he was in fact directed by ISIL, and at this stage there’s no direct evidence that he was part of a larger plot.”

“We see no clear evidence that he was directed externally,” Obama said

So, you’re saying Lois Lerner was a home-grown terrorist, not doing the bidding of the administration.

I am saying ISIS sleeper agent, and I’m sticking to it.
Three days after the imam made the speech, Mateen did his deed. How many others have been activated?

Here's more:

Whether the hadith is weak or abrogated, it remains in the immutable doctrine of Islam because it serves as a useful tool (taqiyya, tawriya, kitman and muruna.

Dr. Bill Warner of Center for the Study of Political Islam explains:

"Our first clue about the dualism is in the Koran, which is actually two books, the Koran of Mecca (early) and the Koran of Medina (later). The insight into the logic of the Koran comes from the large numbers of contradictions in it. On the surface, Islam resolves these contradictions by resorting to “abrogation”. This means that the verse written later supersedes the earlier verse. But in fact, since the Koran is considered by Muslims to be the perfect word of Allah, both verses are sacred and true. The later verse is “better,” but the earlier verse cannot be wrong since Allah is perfect. This is the foundation of dualism. Both verses are “right.” Both sides of the contradiction are true in dualistic logic. The circumstances govern which verse is used." link

I said it FIVE YEARS ago.. I'll say it again!

Obozo is a MUSLIM RADICAL who is running interference for his radical MUSLIM bothers while he continues to dismantle America.

If you haven't conceded that by now then you're akin to the person who watches a firebug set a fire and then says, "I don't believe he meant to do that."

Simply put: Far TOO MANY folk cannot believe that we've elected a MUSLIM to protect us and our Country.. and he was elected TWICE.

America, these days, is learning its lessons the hard way.

After a similar attack in France, the French raided mosques and attacked the internal ISIS network.

The shooter had a connection with another US born terrorist who lived in Vero Beach, Fl.

So sick of hearing “home grown” and “lone wolf” over and over again. It doesn’t matter if he acted alone or with a group ... he still committed this act in the name of that twisted group we all know as ISIS.
