You left out the fact of leftist enablement in the West.

And the fact that the West is a willing participant in its own destruction.

It gives me pleasure to picture the media gnashing their teeth when they found out that he was Muslim and a democrat.

I think it may be a HATE crime?
Will Sharpton and Obama go to meet with Mateens family to see if they want to charge the police for using unnecessary force?
How long before someone in the media or a democrat blames this on conservatives?
I say by 2 pm!

"Homeland Security said Omar had been to Afghanistan where he had weapons training."

Do you have a print source for this? It is really relevant and would put to rest that this was an American lone crazy who just happened to be a Muslim. Thanks.

I'm just going to keep posting all pictures and background information I can get, as well as save it onto my system for later reference. These things have a way of disappearing.

To state the obvious this is a breaking news situation and their is a risk of error as on any developing story.

Shooters full name given as:

Probably not really relevant but interesting.

Of course the media won't report THAT. Now, if he had been registered as a Republican...that would be in the headlines.

The muslims are here and growing in number. There will be more, much more, of this in the coming days. And not just directed at gays. The solution is obvious: the muslims must go.

“His father told MSNBC that the shooting was not about his son’s religion, but that his son became very angry after seeing two men kissing in Miami months ago.”

I’m not sure those are as unconnected as the father thinks.

Excellent points.
RE: #3 - the catcher gets the most severe punishmemt.

https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Islam_and_Homosexuality

In the case of homosexuality, how it is dealt with differs between the four mainline schools of Sunni jurisprudence today, but what they all agree upon is that homosexuality is worthy of a severe penalty.

In the Hanafi school of thought, the homosexual is first punished through harsh beating, and if he/she repeats the act, the death penalty is to be applied.

As for the Shafi`i school of thought, the homosexual receives the same punishment as adultery (if he/she is married) or fornication (if not married). This means, that if the homosexual is married, he/she is stoned to death, while if single, he/she is whipped 100 times. Hence, the Shafi`i compares the punishment applied in the case of homosexuality with that of adultery and fornication.

The Hanafi differentiates between the two acts because in homosexuality, anal sex [something that is prohibited, regardless of orientation] may also be involved, while in adultery [and fornication], the penis/vagina (which are reproductive parts) are involved.

Some scholars, based on the Qur’an and various ahadith, hold the opinion that the homosexual should be thrown from a high building or stoned to death[1] as a punishment for their crime, but other scholars maintain that they should be imprisoned until death. [2]

Another view is that between two males, the active partner is to be lashed a hundred times if he is unmarried, and killed if he is married; whereas **the passive partner is to be killed regardless.**

$100 says Hillary and Obama will not call this a terrorist attack from “radical Islam”.

Another $100 says Trump will.

And another $100 that the liberal media says Trump is trying to make political gains from a tragedy.

And one last $100 that the liberal media and Dems call for more gun control.
