The Orlando gay club gunman's father has well-known anti-American views and is an ideological supporter of the Afghan Taliban. A new message posted by the father on Facebook early Monday morning also makes it clear he could have passed anti-homosexual views onto his son.
Seddique Mir Mateen, father of Orlando gunman Omar Mateen, who died in a shootout with police after killing at least 49 people early Sunday morning, regularly attended Friday prayers at a Florida mosque with his son.
Seddique Mateen hosts a program on a California-based satellite Afghan TV station, aimed at the Afghan diaspora in the in the U.S., called the "Durand Jirga Show."
A senior Afghan intelligence source tells CBS News correspondent Lara Logan that the show is watched by some in people in Afghanistan but the primary audience is ethnic Pashtun Afghans living in the U.S. and Europe.
The Taliban Islamic extremist movement is comprised almost entirely of Pashtuns, and Mateen's show takes a decidedly Pashtun nationalistic, pro-Taliban slant; full of anti-U.S. rhetoric and inflammatory language aimed at non-Pashtuns and at Pakistan, the source told Logan.
In his Facebook videos, the alleged gunman's father has often appeared wearing a military uniform and declaring himself the leader of a "transitional revolutionary government" of Afghanistan. He claims to have his own intelligence agency and close ties to the U.S. Congress -- assets he says he will use to subvert Pakistani influence and take control of Afghanistan.

He has his eye on Hillary.... You wonder what he knows about her? Perhaps he was her paid informant?
Now he has to protect himself from ARKANCIDE.
He showed up to make sure Hillary knew he had not been taken care of you in hiding here secrets. Perhaps he will be next on the Arkancide list
Will Hillary disavow his support?
Will she repudiate this man?
Trump got asked that a dozen times over David Duke.
Where’s the press on this one?
When 'congressmen' go on sabbatical are they allowed to 'give speeches' in the UAE and other Arab countries? Or are there other 'legal' ways of taking graft they've worked out with the help of Congressional 'leaders'? Just curious...
He said he was for Hillary.
It matters.
