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.”

Why was he given a gun license?
I think Trump is showing the DC politicians that there are a lot more haters of CAIR than there are CAIR voters. hee hee
If the FBI can’t see Hillary’s massive criminality, I doubt they can see Islamic terrorists.
Are you serious? He was a Trump supporter? Yet just registered as a democrat. The white house is going to be making all kinds of crap up.
And if they replace the American flag with the gay flag that just might cause a lot of trouble. Even Obama ain’t that stupid.
My first impression is, that family really didn’t assimilate all that well. Just the guess of a layman here, not of the experts that Obama has at his disposal.
Obviously, more “vetting” is needed with better training...

“Why was he given a gun license?”
Oh, he had a SPECIAL gun license, being thoroughly vetted in security...
Pretty sure that’s someone’s attempt at satire.
Taliban supporter is a TERRORIST supporter..... this scumbag is linked to people who have killed many of our troops, as well as countless Afghan and Pakistani civilians.
“Do as they do in Israel. Execute his family and bulldoze their home.”
When did the Israeli government execute a family?
Why would he be arrested? He stepped outside, said it had nothing to do with religion but instead homophobia. We’ll likely see him soon featured in awards shows for his courage to stand up and declare homophobia and try to cover up the Islamic attack on the US.
He'll probably be the next recipient of ESPN's "Arthur Ashe Courage Award."
No Muslim should assimilate into an Infidel society, or feel obligated to obey Infidel man made laws.
Muslims should strive for Sharia Law, and subjugate, convert or kill us non- Muslims.
That's what Allah and Muhammad want done. -Tom
Interesting!
Is this true?
Need to know if this is true.
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.
With this white house I expect anything.
No doubt a terrorist fundraising vehicle.
It’s not.
