IPT Exclusive: Document Reveals Omar Mateen's Father Tied to Radical Islamist Groups
investigativeproject.org ^ | 6/20/16 | Abha Shankar

The father of Orlando mass shooter Omar Mateen has longstanding connections to prominent Islamist groups in the U.S., a document discovered by the Investigative Project on Terrorism shows. Seddique Matin is listed as president of a then-new American Muslim Alliance (AMA) chapter in Fort Pierce in a July 1997 announcement archived by the IPT.

The AMA sponsored several radical conferences in the U.S. and its leader, Agha Saeed, has spoken in defense of convicted terrorists, including Aafia Siddiqui (a.k.a "Lady al-Qaida"), Palestinian Islamic Jihad board member Sami Al-Arian, and Pakistani intelligence lobbyist Ghulam Nabi Fai.

The Fort Pierce chapter is among 10 new AMA chapters opened, the announcement in an AMA bulletin says.

The GOPe’s reaction to Trump and his positions shows me that the majority of the Rs are not merely feckless capons, but traitors who are the other head of the Uniparty. They pretend they have a “conservative” (whatever THAT means nowadays) agenda but they really are just fine with the Dem/commiepuke/globalist/criminal enterprise. Their “opposition” has been theater (of the absurd....).

Of course some are good, like Sessions, and some would be good if they had some support.

It’s interesting, to say the least.

Yes, we know that. He was photographed visiting Obama and Hillary.

I suspected this.

Mateen’s father was just too “cool” about this terrible slaughter, and seemed more interested in getting media exposure than the sad tragedy caused by his son.
