"...and I was never here"

The Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist group's official media wing has released a statement claiming credit for the deadly shooting attack at an Orlando, Florida gay nightclub on behalf of the jihadist organization.
In a statement published in the last few minutes, the al-Amaq agency - which functions as ISIS's propaganda and media wing - claimed that "the attack that targeted a nightclub for homosexuals in Orlando, Florida and that left more than 100 dead and wounded was carried out by an Islamic State fighter."
50 people were murdered in the worst shooting spree in American history, and a further 53 were wounded, many of them seriously.
The attack was carried out by a Muslim American named by authorities as Omar Mateen, who swore allegiance to ISIS shortly before carrying out the attack.
ISIS has been encouraging its followers to carry out terrorist attacks throughout the Western world in "honor" of Ramadan, which began last week.
However, despite Mateen's reported pledge of allegiance to ISIS it is unclear at this point whether he acted alone or under orders from ISIS's central leadership. Previous gun rampages carried out on behalf of ISIS - including the 2015 San Bernardino attack - were committed by cells acting independently, with ISIS formally claiming responsibility shortly afterwards.
Even prior to the statement by ISIS's media wing, jihadists took to social media to celebrate and gloat over the attack.

BATF cleared him to buy a gun last week.
When the time comes, you, me and any other law abiding loyal American.
"...and I was never here"
I actually do have sympathy for the murdered gay people.
They didn’t deserve to be slaughtered wholesale as they were.
I don’t agree with how they live, but I don’t hate them, and I don’t revel in their deaths.
What i am outraged at is the fact that our government has purposely created this situation for the purpose of advancing their agenda.
They did this on purpose, this is what they want.
Now they propose their solutions, which also happens to be their agenda.
How convenient.
I notice FB hasn’t made an American flag for posters.
obama if he says anything at all will say “ISIL”
Just to be contary.
Exactly. Despicable is too weak a word for these conniving snakes.
Is is too weak.
The proper word to describe them is Evil.
They want to manufacture as much violence and death necessary to facilitate the implementation of their agenda.
Their end goal is to take everything for themselves and enslave us all.
We are going to have to deal with these people. They are never going to stop.
The announcement that there would be an attack in Florida was the “go” signal.
DE-FACTO GUN REGISTRATION
I’ve been saying that since I bought a gun at Western Auto in 1977.
I'm going to wait for the FBI to investigate, in case there is some kind of "gun access" angle I'm not just seeing here.
Glad to see Obama has an inside report that confirms no link to any islamist terrorism, just a "gun problem"
Hillary appears to be in the loop, too.
It's the GUNS, people.
“Now they propose their solutions, which also happens to be their agenda.”
