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.”

When did the Israeli government execute a family?


I don’t know when Israel did it, but Obama has done it multiple times with drone attacks on the homes of terrorists.

Why are you so self absorbed?

I was clarifying a statement that in these times, a forked tongue blond on Fox might just say about Trump, to make sure everyone understood that it was an unfunny joke.

You're the one who just couldn't seem to catch on to what was happening. You should post less and observe more.

We’re told this kid was born in the USA in 1986. That is about 30 years ago. Yet the FATHER is such a committed Afghani that he mounts a campaign for the presidency of Afghanistan? Yet this 30 year old American is a fully committed jihadist with Islamic terrorist ties?

Something doesn’t jive here.

These parents are away from Afghan for 30 years and the dad feels qualified to throw his hat into their political process?

“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.”

It seems the more we find out the more we realize that we legacy citizens are being screwed with loss of our rights, our privacy, and the outrageous costs for refugee status handed out by incompetent (treasonous?), and open the door for the Trojan Horse politicians.
