    In the world of ISIS jihadis, there are no forms to fill out to send in a check to get a membership card. This is not the Sierra Club. When ISIS declared to its target audience of followers in the West that this year’s Ramadan (June 5-July 5, 2016) would be a time of jihad, if they heard the call and agreed with it, under sharia law they had a duty to act. The Orlando shooter heard the call, agreed with it, and therefore had a duty to act, and acted. It’s just this simple. Why was the Orlando shooter...

    When Omar Mateen said, “I did it for ISIS,” what did he really mean? We may never know. WFTV, Orlando: U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch has told the gay community “we stand with you” and insisted that investigators are continuing to follow leads on the gunman and mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub… She wouldn’t give specifics about the investigation or a possible motive. She said “people often act out of more than one motivation” and called the June 12 massacre at the gay club “clearly an act of terror and an act of hate.” She added that a motive...

    The gunman who slaughtered 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando was a confused, gay man who drank heavily, a man who claims he was his lover for two months told Univision. Omar Mateen, the deranged Muslim shooter behind the massacre, held a grudge against Latino men he met at the popular gay club because he felt used by them, the man told the network. “I’ve cried like you have no idea. But the thing that makes me want to tell the truth is that he didn’t do it for terrorism,” the man told Univision Noticias anchor Maria Elena...

    Orlando gunman Omar Mateen identified himself as an Islamic soldier in calls with authorities during his rampage and demanded to a crisis negotiator that the U.S. “stop bombing Syria and Iraq,” according to transcripts released by the FBI on Monday. The partial, printed transcripts were of three conversations Mateen had with the police during the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, in which 49 people died and dozens were wounded. Those communications, along with Facebook posts Mateen made before and after the shooting, add to the public understanding of the final hours of Mateen’s life. The first call came...
  • Gunshot Lethality: Intention of the Shooter Makes the Largest Difference

    When attempting to determine the statistical lethality of gunshot wounds, an important variable is often overlooked.  That is the intention of the shooter. It is not an easy variable to measure, but it is an overwhelming part of the dynamics of shooting situations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been collecting data on firearms injuries and fatalities for since 2001.  The individual years data have warnings that the numbers may be too small to be reliable, but there are significant advantages to the data set when looking at the aggregate numbers for the fourteen year period.  All...
  • Orlando Terrorist Signed Over Home To Brother-in-Law Just Before Attacks

    Several weeks before he massacred 49 at an Orlando gay nightclub, Muslim terrorist Omar Seddique Mateen transferred over his interest in his Florida home to his older sister and Afghan brother-in-law, property records show — an indication the family possibly had some knowledge of his martyrdom plans. Authorities say the fatally shot Mateen clearly was prepared to die in a gun battle with police during the June 12 attack, the deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil since 9/11. On April 5, Mateen “quit-claimed” the deed on his Port St. Lucie, Fla., house, signing it over to his sister, Sabrina...
  • FBI top dog “confused” about Orlando jihadi’s motive because he supported both Sunni and Shia

    Jihad Watch ^ | 06/14/2016 | Robert Spencer
    “The lie in the government goes like this: ‘Sunni and Shia hate each other and don’t work together.’ That is wrong on so many practical levels.” So said former FBI agent John Guandolo, and he was right: Shi’ite Iran funds Sunni Hamas and Islamic Jihad, as well as other Sunni jihad groups. As the old Arabic saying goes, “My brother against my brother, but both of us against our cousin.” Sunnis and Shi’ites do hate each other, but they hate Infidels more. There is no reason why Mateen couldn’t have supported both Sunni and Shi’ite jihad groups. But the feds...
  • Orlando gunman's alleged sexual confusion betrays ISIS loyalty

    CBS/AP ^ | June 14, 2016
    ORLANDO - The gunman responsible for the deaths of 49 people inside a gay nightclub in Orlando pledged loyalty to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in his last moments, and the Mideast terrorist group quickly and happily took the credit. However, if the statements of several patrons of Orlando's gay scene are proven true, ISIS would probably prefer to take Omar Mateen and throw him off a tower. A U.S. official with knowledge of the situation tells CBS News that club-goers have told investigators that Mateen had been at Pulse numerous previously. Additionally, other media outlets have...

    The United West investigative team reported in April on an Islamic imam who was invited to speak at the The Husseini Islamic Center in Sanford, Florida. The Husseini Islamic Center invited Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar to speak at their holy mosque. Dr. Sekaleshfar said the killing of homosexuals is the compassionate thing to do.
  • 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...
  • Anderson Cooper interviewee: Killer mentioned Obama's bombing raids [NOT Trump's Ban!]

    Just watched the local Fox Miami station. It ran a story about how some people survived the shooting. One of the people was on Anderson Cooper's show. He was in the bathroom with the Muslim terrorist. Guy says the Muslim terrorist told them to turn off their cell phones and not talk. But then he says the Muslim terrorist said the reason he was killing people was because the US was bombing his people, and the USA needed to stop doing that.
