IPT Exclusive: Document Reveals Omar Mateen's Father Tied to Radical Islamist Groups
investigativeproject.org ^ | 6/20/16 | Abha Shankar

Posted on 06/20/2016 5:52:22 PM PDT by Nachum

The father of Orlando mass shooter Omar Mateen has longstanding connections to prominent Islamist groups in the U.S., a document discovered by the Investigative Project on Terrorism shows. Seddique Matin is listed as president of a then-new American Muslim Alliance (AMA) chapter in Fort Pierce in a July 1997 announcement archived by the IPT.

The AMA sponsored several radical conferences in the U.S. and its leader, Agha Saeed, has spoken in defense of convicted terrorists, including Aafia Siddiqui (a.k.a "Lady al-Qaida"), Palestinian Islamic Jihad board member Sami Al-Arian, and Pakistani intelligence lobbyist Ghulam Nabi Fai.

The Fort Pierce chapter is among 10 new AMA chapters opened, the announcement in an AMA bulletin says.

That is why Perp’s Dad initially claimed that perp was probably upset at seeing 2 guys kissing.

Perp’s Dad was trying to deflect attention, in hopes that these things might never come to light.

I called my Congressman’s office, one Dana Rohrabacher, of long time Afghanistan involvement, dating to Reagan’s fight against the USSR there.

I asked his office, to notify me about the justification for Mateen to be in this country at all.

Of course I have not had a response, and I don’t expect one.

Dana is almost certain to get reelected every time, and his staff dismiss inquiries like mine.

If he had been a German guard in a WWII concentration camp, his ass would have been gone long ago. It’s the “rasis” crap that people are afraid of these days. Political correctness is going to get us all killed. “If you see something, SHUT UP YOU ‘RASIS’.”

Hitlery would be Obama redux, but worse. A lot worse.
Any Republican being coy about whom to support is a venemous snake.

His father wanted the US State Department to help make him President of Afghanistan. This would not help with State Department support. It would however help with convincing the Taliban that his family was genuine Islam. They all knew what was planned. My guess is hit and run to get video evidence for Taliban support. But something went wrong. Got stuck. Ran with ISIS story, which the white house is trying to scrub.

Who knows, but with so many scandals threatening to boil over that Obama and Hillary are trying to keep a lid, its getting harder to keep everything under control

Amazing what a little courage and leadership will do after 8 years of feckless, cowardly loser Republicans

Doubtful she’s a muslim, but lives with one who appears Westernized, Huma. Better question is does she have ANY ideology now or is this empty hulk of a sick, fat lady runnng on sheer powerlust? She has a coterie around her, but does she sympathize with Muslims simply because they are fellow travelers, useful idiots, or maybe she’s just compromised and run by them? To me, the goal of the 60’s radicals is to destroy laissez-faire and the American way of life. Kids I met back then who had hearts filled with hatred were recruited easily. The concept of American Self-Interest is considered evil by the young and old commies. Perhaps it’s time to fight back with a defense that America is good? However, the left took over my daughtet’s schooling from nursery to post-grad ed. The hatred of Our America is in every text she read. I spent hours deprogramming. What other way can one person fight?
