Obama: Orlando shooting was a case of ‘homegrown extremism,’ gunman inspired by online propaganda

ORLANDO — President Obama said the gunman who opened fire in a nightclub here on Sunday appeared to be motivated by extremist propaganda online, saying that authorities have not found any links connecting this attacker with other radical groups.

Obama called the shooting a case of “homegrown extremism” on Monday, saying that the gunman appeared to be “inspired by various extremist information that was disseminated over the Internet.” The gunman who carried out the deadliest shooting rampage in American history called 911 during a three-hour standoff with police and pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State, a group also known as ISIS or ISIL, authorities have said.

“We see no clear evidence that he was directed externally,” Obama said during remarks in the Oval Office. “It does appear that at the last minute, he announced allegiance to ISIL. But there is no evidence so far that he was in fact directed by ISIL, and at this stage there’s no direct evidence that he was part of a larger plot.”

So this means that every single, individual, lone wolf muslim is a potential mass-murdering jihadi. The quran does command that muslims kill unbelievers. That’s all the authority they require. Don’t need no stinkin’ orders from ISIS. They are all potential killers.

He was inspired by the example of their prophet and his instructions in their book.

OBAMA is an example of Homegrown Extremism.

Omar was a Jihadi.

But if you find a photo of a shooter with a rebel flag.

Well then General Lee ordered it himself.

What is interesting to me is that a murderous muslim commits this crime, and the response of our government is to attack Americans as if we are the problem.

The government is importing these bastards, and when they act as they inevitably will, our government attacks us and defends the killer.

The muslims have to go, and their enablers have to go.

There is no place here for either.

When Liberal Victim Groups Collide

I’ve got news for the gays: y’all are lower on the Liberal Hierarchy of Sacred Victims Totem Pole than the muzzies. Way lower.

Only women are lower down the pole.

Obama is a lying sack of shit.

This MUSLIM:

Pledged allegiance to ISIS
Praised the Boston Bombers
Selected victims by RACE and RELIGION, not just cause they were Queer.
Has a father who supports the TALIBAN

WE ALL KNOW WHY he did it! Obama is either a lying sack of shit, a willing Islamist dupe, or a severely retarded imbecile.

Still waiting for the media to call it a “hate crime”. My guess is they never will.

I’ve been saying that Obama is the de facto leader, if not the creator, of the Muslim Brotherhood since those words first made it into the media...

It’s past time to retire this “Amish” joke, and to stop insulting them.
