    ACLU Attorneys Blame Conservative Christians for Orlando Terror Attack
    By Kevin Daley Published on June 12, 2016

    Several American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) attorneys took to Twitter to blame the “Christian Right” for Sunday’s deadly terrorist attack at a nightclub in Orlando, Fla., which left 50 dead and 53 injured.

    Chase Strangio, a staff attorney with the ACLU’s LGBT and AIDS Project, claimed the social and political environment cultivated by Christian conservatives in recent months was to blame for the shooting at Pulse, a nightclub popular with Orlando’s LGBT community.

    The Christian Right has introduced 200 anti-LGBT bills in the last six months and people blaming Islam for this. No. #PulseNightclub

    Strangio also called for solidarity between American Muslims and LGBT communities, arguing both are maligned and oppressed by the religious right....


    Wonder how that's going to work.
    So a Muslim kills a bunch of gays, and it's the "Christian Right" fault. Oooookay. Guess I shoulda seen that coming. I wondering how they were going to turn the dialog. I guess this is it. It will be interesting to see how much CNN, the liberal press, etc, will pick this up as the theme and totally overlook the Muslim aspect.

    I think we all know that most likely it will never happen, it would ruin the delusion he's been so carefully crafting and cultivating thru the years.

    Of course it couldn't be the Koran's fault even tho it clearly states that all homosexuality is punishable by death:

    Speaking of which, could it be that this Muslim speaker motivated the shooting also?

    Orlando played host to Muslim speaker’s call for death to gays, just weeks ago

    -
    On March 29, 2016, Farrokh Sekaleshfar — a British-born medical doctor and Shi’a Muslim scholar — was invited to speak at the Husseini Islamic Center just outside Orlando, Florida.

    During his sermon, “How to deal with the phenomenon of homosexuality,” at the Sanford-based center, the scholar and sheikh described in characteristically sotto voce what it meant to do the compassionate thing for gay people:

    “Death is the sentence. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about this. Death is the sentence.”

    He continued: “We have to have that compassion for people. With homosexuals, it’s the same. Out of compassion, let’s get rid of them now..."

    Ex-wife of suspected Orlando shooter Omar Mateen says he was unstable and violent: ‘He beat me’

    The ex-wife of the 29-year-old man suspected of killing 50 people in a Orlando nightclub early Sunday said that he was violent and mentally unstable and beat her repeatedly while they were married.

    The ex-wife said she met Omar Mateen online about eight years ago and decided to move to Florida and marry him.

    At first, the marriage was normal, she said, but then he became abusive.

    “He was not a stable person,” said the ex-wife, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety in the wake of the mass shooting. “He beat me. He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn’t finished or something like that.”

    While the FBI has not identified Mateen publicly, U.S. law enforcement officials said his identification was found on the body of the killer, who was armed with a handgun and an assault rifle.

    Authorities think he used those weapons to kill 50 people and injure dozens more in the attack on the gay nightclub that began just after 2 a.m. Sunday morning. Mateen was killed in a shootout with police three hours later after a SWAT team assaulted a section of the club where Mateen was holed up with hostages.

    Mateen’s ex-wife said his family was from Afghanistan, but her ex-husband was born in New York. His family later moved to Florida. In a series of Myspace photos, Mateen is seen taking selfies and wearing New York Police Department shirts in a couple of the shots. His ex-wife identified him as the man in the Myspace photos.

    Mateen’s ex-wife said she was having a difficult time when she first met him and decided to move to Florida to be with him. The two married in March 2009 and moved into a 2-bedroom condominium in Fort Pierce, Florida, that Mateen’s family owned.

    “He seemed like a normal human being,” she said, adding that he wasn’t very religious and worked out at the gym often. She said in the few months they were married he gave no signs of having fallen under the sway of radical Islam. She said he owned a small-caliber handgun and worked as a guard at a nearby facility for juvenile delinquents.

    “He was a very private person,” she said.

    The ex-wife said her parents intervened when they learned Mateen had assaulted her. Her father confirmed the account and said that the marriage lasted only a few months.

    Her parents flew down to Fort Pierce and pulled her out of the house, leaving all her belongings behind. The ex-wife she said never had contact with Mateen again despite attempts by him to reach her.

    “They literally saved my life,” she said of her parents.

    According to Florida court records, the two formally divorced in 2011.

    After learning about what happened in Orlando, she said: “I am still processing. I am definitely lucky.”

    This will help Trump. He's the only one telling it like it is. One gay blogger has already changed his mind and is supporting Trump now.

    I believe they've now changed the death toll to 49 so as not to include the shooter as a "victim."

    I read an online article that reported there being more than one involved in the attack, but didn't know if it was a reliable enough source.
