What you really need to know:

Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622 A.D.

There can never be peace until there is only Islam.
It’s in their book.

The closer they follow the example of their prophet and his instructions in their book, the more dangerous they are.

All muslims are obligated to seek the submission or death of all non-muslims.

Submit or die.

Mad Mo made it so.

Mateen is a registered Democrat who has also lived in Fort Pierce, Florida, according to online records.

Probably not really relevant but interesting.

The Attack Occurred During Latin Night at the Orlando Gay Club

Ah, so there's the angle the MSM will go with. Donald Trump's wall talk inspired him to be an anti-hispanic racist. "Jihadi? Ain't no jihadi's around here."

Re: Number 1 “The Gunman Exchanged Fire With a Police Officer Outside the Club Before Going Inside & Taking Hostages “ - Did the shooting start outside after the attack inside? Or, did they confront him outside and then he ran inside and carried out the attack? Something doesn’t seem right about this.

Relevant.

No reporting that the muslime pig-hugger is a democrat underscores double-standards in reporting.

You can bet if this shooter was a republican the media would be doing all they can to link him to Trump or Trumps “rhetoric.”
