Ex-wife of suspected Orlando shooter: 'He beat me'
Washington Post ^ | June 12, 2016 | Adam Goldman and Julie Tate

Posted on 06/12/2016 1:27:08 PM PDT by Zakeet

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.

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.

Here’s a story about an Afghan immigrant who became a cop:

Fairfax Cop Who Tipped Terror Suspect Helped Kill Training Program

by Steven Emerson
IPT News

A Fairfax County Police sergeant who admits tipping off a terrorism suspect that he was under FBI surveillance also helped kill what had been a successful intelligence and terrorism-related training program within his police department.

Sgt. Weiss Rasool was sentenced to two years probation on April 22 after pleading guilty to illegally accessing a police database to run license tag numbers for a friend who thought he was being followed. Those tags traced back to FBI agents who had Rasool’s acquaintance under surveillance as part of a terrorism investigation.

Read rest here: http://www.investigativeproject.org/664/fairfax-cop-who-tipped-terror-suspect-helped-kill-training

But it has a happy ending. Even though Rasool intentionally compromised an FBI terrorism investigation and tipped off an associate of Khaleed Sheik Mohammed, he went on to get hired by the U.S. IRS in a six-figure job that requires a security clearance. http://freedomoutpost.com/convicted-al-qaeda-spy-mohammad-weiss-rasool-now-works-irs/

Our whole system is a joke. We spend billions and billions on Homeland Security and counterterrorism. This is the second time FBI has investigated and interviewed an Islamic terrorist who went on to kill and maim innocent civilians in America. Still, we’ll have to be inconvenienced by large-scale terror drills where first responders make a lot of OT while getting a rush play acting.

Why haven’t I noticed until the last year and a half what dead eyes Obama has? Sort of like Ted Bundy eyes.

What was the problem? The teachings of Islam is not to beat your wife harshley. Just beat her gently and don’t hit her face.

I tried that with my girlfriend and she beat the crap out of me. I decided the muslim religion was not for me. I was a Baptist!

I’d sell...
If you can’t though, stay prayered up.
Most people mock prayer. Most people also don’t know that the devil has to get Divine Permission to initiate any evil act in this world (reference Job).

His Protection is better than anything an army can provide.

...Mateen several years ago went on the pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia

Something he and the San Bernardino killers had in common. Sounds like an ISIS recruiting trip.

A good ISIS soldiers beats his wife eery day at first to just get her used to the discipline a good muslim needs to love and obey her husband. Then you may slow down to 2 or 3 a week. Some prefer the spontaneous unscheduled beatings just to keep her on her toes. A-lakim a-salakim.

I somehow missed hearing what happened to the Muslim. Did he escape, get captured, shot by the cops, or kill himself?

She moved to Orlando from where?

I’d like to know that too. Wonder if it was like the San Bernardino thing where he imported her.

A “peaceful” muslim is one who accepts the fact that you need not beat the goat after you make love to it. If only his wife was so lucky!

Dartevious Parker, a neighbor who lived near Mateen, said Mateen had a 3-year-old son. The neighbor had also seen a woman living with Mateen and the boy. Parker said he never spoke to her, and she did not wear any religious garb.

Public records show that Mateen was living with a 30-year-old woman named Noor Zahi Salman. A Facebook profile under the name “Noor Zahi” shows two photos of a woman posing with Mateen and a small boy. When reached by phone, Salman’s mother declined to comment.

If only he had been white or Christian, Hellary would have won this election with the media talking about the evil Trump supporter killing gays en-mass, which is just a preview to what to come should Trump win.

But, now, they have to figure out a way to make this about non-Islam. Oh, the dilemma. Gays or Islam.

A wife beating Democrat Muslim committed the largest mass murder of gays in American history during the administration of the most gay friendly pResident in history. There’s Zero’s legacy. Forever.

I would say he had a very excellent, but brief, career as a law enforcement officer.

LOL! Black humor, I like it.
