The ex-wife of the 29-year-old man suspected of killing 50 people in a Orlando nightclub early Sunday said that he was violent and mentally unstable and beat her repeatedly while they were married.
The ex-wife said she met Omar Mateen online about eight years ago and decided to move to Florida and marry him.
At first, the marriage was normal, she said, but then he became abusive.
[Snip]
After the couple split, a friend of Mateen's said the young man became steadily more religious. The friend, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Mateen several years ago went on the pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia known as the umrah.
"He was quite religious," the friend said.
He said Mateen had hoped to become a law enforcement officer but that plan never panned out.

You want to explain that comment?No. Not really. But I will just for YOU.
This freak was a muzzie zealot. Sharia calls for gays to be killed. He was enforcing the law.

Don’t worry sweetheart. The Hollyweirdos will be tweeting that you’re a homophobic, Islamophobe and you should get over it. Expect a tweet from that twit, Boy George Takai.

He is a run of the mill moderate Muslim.
He was a radical or extremist Muslim would have blown up women and children with explosives.

Thats what i wanted to know, thanks.
MSNBC and crew point over and over he's a citizen. But i wanted to know,if he made a 'pilgrimage' to SA. Who did he meet, what happened there, im also curious. But this is enough.

We have learned, blueplum, that the children of naturalized citizens are unpatriotic scum. But then who taught them to be patriotic? The schools? The government? The church or mosque? Their parents?
Heaven help us.

>>The only legitimate angles of this story is how it can be tied to white Christian homophobia.
I figure the first mentions of Matthew Sheppard will be hitting the airwaves tomorrow to claim that what this guy did “is nothing new for America’s LGBTWTFBBQ community”.

BINGO! Islamophobic!
Also, wifey says he was “mentally unstable”. There ya’ go. The Left will end this story right there. Mental illness and guns. The End.

In a better, more sanely ordered reality, Sarah would now have eight years as VP under her belt, and would be the presumptive Republican candidate for the presidency.
Whip-smart, patriotic Sarah... versus "Cankles" Clinton.
