Omar Mateen
49 people were killed at the Pulse gay and lesbian night
club in Orlando, Florida by 29-year-old ISIS terrorist, Omar
Mateen. Authorities stormed the building, Mateen shot at
them and they killed him in response, bringing the total casualties to
50. An additional 53 people were injured in the terrible
bloodbath that began at approximately 2:00AM
on Sunday morning. ISIS is accepting responsibility for the
incident, which is the biggest mass shooting in American
history.
Mateen was born in New York to parents from Afghanistan.
Mainstream news reports indicate Mateen's dad, Sediqque Mir
Mateen, who lives in Port St. Lucie, Florida, held ambitions to be the
President
of his Afghanistan and openly supported the terrorist group
the Taliban. He stated his son became angry after seeing two
gay men in downtown Miami openly kissing each other and it
fostered a hatred for gays. The terrorist is married and a
father. Mateen's ex-wife stated he routinely beat her.
Sediqque Mir Mateen
Sediqque Mir Mateen stated of his son, "We were in Downtown
Miami, Bayside, people were playing music. And he saw two
men kissing each other in front of his wife and kid and he
got very angry. They were kissing each other and touching
each other and he said, 'Look at that. In front of my son
they are doing that.' And they were in the men's bathroom
and men were kissing each other." He has also apologized for
his son's actions.
A former classmate of Mateen's stated the terrorist was gay,
a claim his father denies, "If he was gay, why would he do
something like this." The list of gay bars Mateen's
classmate stated they visited have all stated they do not
recognize him. However, some of the staff at Pulse
recognized him, stating he had visited the club in the past.
Mateen was clearly studying the club and planning an attack,
which he executed to deadly results.
