The father of Omar Mateen, identified by police as the man behind the carnage at an Orlando nightclub early Sunday morning, is an Afghan man who holds strong political views, including support for the Afghan Taliban.
Seddique Mateen, who has been referred to as Mir Seddique in early news reports, hosted the “Durand Jirga Show” on a channel called Payam-e-Afghan, which broadcasts from California. In it, the elder Mateen speaks in the Dari language on a variety of political subjects. Dozens of videos are posted on a channel under Seddique Mateen's name on YouTube. A phone number and post office box that are displayed on the show were traced back to the Mateen home in Florida. Mateen also owns a nonprofit organization under the name Durand Jirga, which is registered in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
In one video, Mateen expresses gratitude toward the Afghan Taliban, while denouncing the Pakistani government.
“Our brothers in Waziristan, our warrior brothers in [the] Taliban movement and national Afghan Taliban are rising up,” he said. “Inshallah the Durand Line issue will be solved soon.”

I just heard that the kid added Mateen to his name...so I’m a little confused on the name thing.
Why was this person allowed to become a resident of the US???
An immigration assimilation epic fail
Arrest him as a accessory to the murders! He probably is the reason his kid did the killings!
Waziristan was where all the Bin Laden loyalist were.
Just think Barry Soetoro Subarkha Hessein Obama
President Dingbat hasn’t figured out the motive yet.
Hillary? She'll never hear or speak the word Islam...
These are the types of MF’s that DC politicians allow to run around in the USA free and unfettered.
There are hundreds of known ISIS sympathizers in the USA.
The FBI knows where these people are.
DC politicians too afraid of CAIR and the press to call for round up of these people.
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled [Flashback] ISIS calls for more attacks on West during Ramadan (began June 5), Dick Bachert wrote: Just into the MSNBC newsroom
The White House has just announced that this individual was a Trump supporter. /President Obama has cancelled his golf game for today and will immediately fly to Florida to console the shooter’s family.
He has also ordered the American flag to be replaced by the Gay Pride flag which will be displayed at half-staff on all government buildings until the last of the victims is buried.
“Why was this person allowed to become a resident of the US???”
Supporter of the Taliban, and no one, NO ONE, has a problem with picking this guy up and investigating him?
Do as they do in Israel. Execute his family and bulldoze their home.
I am surprised that this was allowed to be printed in the Compost. The terrorist’s father is a Taliban supporter. That should be of some interest by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. Will it?
The killer was a democrat... was the father?
Since the Taliban are basically fundamental Muslims, like the Wahhabis, for this guy to imply his sons action has nothing to do with Islam is ridiculous.
He should be proud of his son doing what Allah and Muhammad want done to us Kafirs.
I suspect he is proud of his jihadi son, but he is using Taqiyya on us infidels to keep us off balance. -Tom
Of course this is of interest to the FBI... they're probably on their way to WaPo's offices now to reprimand them for publishing that article.
