America is in shock. A 29-year-old
Islamic terrorist named Omar Mateen shot 102 people at a gay club known as
Pulse in the heart of Orlando, Florida.
Forty-nine
of those that were shot died, and 53 were wounded. So how in the world did this
happen? Well, when you combine radical political correctness with extreme
government incompetence and the dramatic growth of radical Islam inside the
United States, you create an environment which is absolutely primed for Islamic
terror. The truth is that the FBI knew about this guy well in advance.
In fact,
they had even interviewed him three separate times over the years. And at one
point the government had been investigating the mosque that he had been
attending, but that investigation was shut down by Hillary Clinton's State
Department.
Mateen had told the FBI that he hoped to be a martyr someday, and
those were not just idle words. His twisted ideology fueled his actions, and so
the choices that he ultimately made should not have come as a surprise to law
enforcement authorities.
But now that this has happened, will it change the way
that the government approaches Islamic terror? The following are 17 facts about
the Orlando shooter that every American should know.
1. According to the Director of the FBI, Mateen had "links to al-Qaida, Hezbollah and the Islamic State."
2. Mateen's father has openly expressed support for the Taliban on YouTube.
3. Despite those links to terror organizations, Mateen was
allowed to work "as a security guard at a local courthouse."
4. Mateen wasn't directly hired by the courthouse. Instead, he
was officially an employee of the largest security services company in the world.
The Orlando
nightclub terrorist who pledged allegiance to ISIS worked almost a decade for a
major Department of Homeland Security contractor, raising alarms that ISIS
sympathizers and agents have infiltrated the federal agency set up after 9/11
to combat terrorists.
Officials
say Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, an Afghan-American who held two firearms licenses
and a security officer license, was employed by the security firm G4S Secure
Solutions USA Inc. since Sept. 10, 2007. The Jupiter, Fla.-based company merged
with the Wackenhut Corp. after 9/11 and assumed federal contracts.
5. It turns out that this U.S. subsidiary of G4S is a company
that works very closely with "the Department of Homeland Security, the US Army, and federal and local
law enforcement."
6. Mateen's ex-wife says that he would repeatedly beat her while
they were married.
7. He started to become radicalized after separating from his
first wife. While they were together, she said that he didn't show
much interest in religion.
8. He made pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and 2012.
9. He claimed to personally know the
Boston Marathon Bombers.
10. According to the FBI, Mateen has "been on the radar before,"
he was interviewed by them three separate times,
and they conducted a 10 month investigation of his activities in 2013.
11. He is being described as "unhinged and unstable"
by his former coworkers.
12. Mateen once declared that he hoped to martyr himself
someday, and the FBI knew all about this.
13. Despite everything that the federal government knew about
Mateen, he was still permitted to legally buy guns just last week.
14. In an odd twist, it also turns out that Mateen was a registered Democrat.
15. A respected Islamic scholar was urging Muslims in Orlando to
"get rid" of homosexuals just a couple of months before this shooting took place.
Farrokh
Sekaleshfar – a British-born doctor and Muslim scholar – has gained a following
by urging Muslims to 'get rid of' homosexuals.
And in
April, he took his speech titled 'How to deal with the phenomenon of
homosexuality' to the Husseini Islamic Center in Sanford, just outside Orlando,
Florida.
Two months
later, 29-year-old Omar Mateen carried out the worst massacre in US history by
opening fire on a gay club in the same city.
16. Hillary Clinton's State Department shut down an investigation
of the mosque that Mateen attends because it "unfairly singled out Muslims."
17. Just moments before the attack, Mateen reportedly called 911 to
swear his allegiance to ISIS.
When is it
going to finally sink in for our politically correct politicians that Islamic
terror is a major threat?
There are
lots of other Omar Mateens out there. And as radical Islam continues to spread
both inside and outside this country, the threat is only going to get a lot
worse.
Barack Obama
is a perfect example of just how clueless many of our top politicians are about
all of this. During his speech to the nation, he did not connect this act of
terror with radical Islam in any way, shape or form.
But the only reason why
Mateen did what he did was because of his worldview. He felt perfectly
justified in picking up a weapon and gunning down dozens of people, and
martyrdom was a reward in his eyes. If he had not been immersed in the world of
radical Islam for years, he never would have done such a thing.
Wrong
beliefs lead to wrong actions. We see this in action all around us every day,
but most of the time the consequences are not as dramatic as we just witnessed
in Orlando.
As I have
been warning about for some time now, Islamic terror attacks inside the United
States are going to continue to get worse.
If you think
what happened in Orlando was bad, just wait until these terrorists get their
hands on chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
The
detonation of a single weapon of mass destruction in one of our major cities
would instantly change life as we know it for every man, woman and child in
this entire nation.
The ideology
that fuels these terrorists continues to grow, and over time it is inevitable
that they will acquire increasingly more powerful weapons.
So yes,
gunning down dozens of people in a crowded nightclub is an atrocity that is so
evil it is hard to find words to describe it.
But someday
we will see far, far worse in this nation, and at this point we are completely
unprepared to deal with that reality.
