Orlando shooter was a Muslim, supported ISIS

Wow, rude. Prepare to be banned.

Why? I am not saying anything other than the facts. A fact is never offensive.

As epicurean stated:

"The BBC has stated:
There are "suggestions" the gunman had "leanings towards" radical Islamist ideology, the FBI sayshttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-us-canada-36510172

Homophobia within the Muslim community is something that needs to be challenged.

The fact is that there is room for acceptance of homosexuality within Islam. There is no verse within the Quran which explicitly condemns homosexuality. I think in light of this event (which sources appear to point towards Islamic extremism), more needs to be done within the Muslim community to tackle the issue of homophobia and serious discussions need to take place over Islamic interpretations in regards to sexuality"

The way you have phrased this thread is wrong

If you watched BbC News today, you'd have thought this was just a shooting, a hate crime, not motivated by Islam at all and something which has only happened because of gun laws.

Well, that's not entirely true. There is so much evidence that the shooter had links to radical Islamic ideology and that he was a Muslim. ISIS supporters have praised the attack and, three days before the attack, urged Muslims to attack their enemies during the Ramadan period.

There's no use covering up this issue. The attack was Islamic terrorism.

Sources have confirmed to CBS News that authorities are investigating whether the suspect, who has been named as Omar Mateen, had ties to Islamic terrorism.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a false flag attack

conspiracy theorism, then? there are so many islamist attacks like this going on yet you really think this was a conspiracy?

And you see, this is going to cause more infighting between the 2 sides whilst the establishment will run amok. Don't you see how distracting that can get?

so you don't believe in simply convenient coincidences?
do you think 7/7, the madrid bombings, the cologne islamic rapes, the rotherham rape gangs, the bostom bombings, lee rigby's murder, 9/11 etc were *all* false flag operations from their respective governments, then?

The government knew about the attackers yet those attacks still happened? Are you that naive thinking the government serves the general public?. Fear is a powerful weapon, you know.

I'm sorry but this is simply ridiculous. why on earth would all these governments collectively conspire and go through all this pointless effort for such an arbitrary goal? how can you reach this conclusion without thinking each and every one of these governments is willing to have its own people slaughtered simply to portray islam as bad? which national leader of these countries has even tried portraying all muslims as terrorists (or similar) for instance? you think george bush or david cameron are saying that "islam is a religion of peace"~ is an attempt at reverse psychology? :|
