Orlando shooting suspect’s father hosted a political TV show

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.”

Talibani propagandist, walking on American soil, breathing American air... In Theater, he'd be Hellfire Bait.

Sounds like a major, multiple agency fail. Heads must roll.

Stunning. The Taliban are why we invaded Afghanistan, the war even Obama used to say was righteous.

Most people don't realize Taliban is the plural of student.
Students of what?
Students of the Koran and Hadiths as taught in the Madrasas.
Many of these Madrasas had Wahhabi instructors,sponsored by Saudi Arabia, and teach the memorization of the Koran, and the fundamentals of Islam and Jihad.

When these students graduated they went to battle against slacker Muslims and us Kafirs.

They are much older now, but seasoned Jihadi fighters, and recruit new fighters. - Tom

““Do as they do in Israel. Execute his family and bulldoze their home.”

When did the Israeli government execute a family?”

Well, the government wouldn’t do it, but it would be safe to say that their luck takes an abrupt turn for the worse. The Russians handle such unpleasantness similarly.

Recognize that if someone wants to get a gun they will and laws have nothing to do with it. But this dude did have two licenses and worked for a security company. Someone had to issue them. Who and why?

Wow, can you tell me what was the occasion that Reagan was surrounded by these thugs?

Afganistanis who were on our side against the Soviets then?

Let’s hope there was good security detail on them.

Update from Fox!

FBI knew of the Shooter in 2013. Same year as The Boston Attack.

ATF also just said he legally purchased his weapons in this past week

Thanks, KC_Lion; you were right from the getgo.

BBL, hold down the Fort.

Family should be ejected on 1st instance of CYA. Allowing CAIR in from the beginning, IMO, checks that box.

Forgot to bulldoze the mosque and arrest the imam. This is not the last ‘convert’ out.

There’s been a lot of political pushing for a long time to orient immigration toward money instead of toward those more likely to be loyal Americans (e.g., foreign families of Americans of long American descent). It’s assumed that foreigners bringing money or professional credentials are okay. We’re seeing results of that policy.

The same “occasion” that caused Obola/Hellary was unleash ISIS.

“Afganistanis who were on our side against the Soviets then?”

Or, you could say that America was waging Jihad against the Soviets. Literally. After all, Communism was more dangerous than Islam. Right now, Secularist Dictators are more dangerous than Islam.

Does anyone ever wonder if the FBI leaves these people alone for a reason? Like maybe the government wants the chaos, or wants to heighten fear, or something? Or is it just incompetence?

If the shooter’s father is running for President of Afghanistan, doesn’t that entitle us to deport him and his wife there even if they are naturalized since the naturalization process requires a person to swear allegiance solely to the United States?

Do the Israelis do that? Good for them. They don't delude themselves about the threat as the U.S. government does.
