Rarely, with a common enemy, on a purely temporary basis, and no one gives allegiance to both.

Yes, but you don't claim both simultaneously, which was the entire point, and if you stretch any metaphor too much, it breaks. Do Daesh, Al Qaeada, and Hezbollah work together? No?

Then the metaphor no longer applies.

So far, they have found no photographs, no text messages, no smartphone apps, no gay pornography and no cell-tower location data to suggest that Mateen — who was twice married to women and had a young son — conducted a secret gay life, the officials said.

All the Pulse regulars were lying for the SJW Gay agenda clearly.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Clearly we've obviously found a very bad exposure of the wider gayminati. Their plans will be set back for years!

It's a good thing you are having a chuckle standing on the pile of dead people this guy left. [sarcasm]
How do you know somebody is trans or vegan?
Don't worry. They'll tell you at the slightest provocation.

I'm actually sitting on my couch, and mocking people who are trying to use this to advance some sort of greater agenda while metaphorically standing on said bodies, but I do appreciate your perspective.

They all support a very conservative form of Islam (although different) and terror activities in the west. For a not so bright kid, who is angry at the west, it makes sense.

People blame republicans for not passing a gun bill in the senate this week. Yet two of the proposals were put forth by the republicans, and we're shot done by the Democrats.

Alot of really stupid people out there.

No, I get it. He claimed them. And you're right, he was angry, and not so bright, but he wasn't a kid, and you are only looking at the surface of this, and not willing to look any deeper. That's entirely your choice, but it also makes it impossible to point out any other issues that might be there, because it doesn't fit into the neat package that the shooter provided.

And we've moved the fuck on from the gun bill discussion.

That was a slam of fustration at rl friends of mine, but there was a point.

The point is people do things for reasons that don't appear to be rational and logicsal, but make sense to the person making the claim. Yes what omar said does not make sense, but that does mean he does not believe it to be true. And because we know it's not true, we should not be discounting that it could very well be true to him.

The big issue is he had a burning hatred and this is how he expressed it. The exact same way the fellows who flew aIrelands into the world Trade Center had a burning hatred, and flying those airplanes is how they expressed it.

Sure. My point is that this was based as much upon self-hatred as anything else.

One of the factors agreed. his Islamic belief system was a factor as well, and probably also contributed to his self hate.

Oh, no doubt. While it doesn't necessarily take religion to have issues with your sexual identity, it certainly helps to drive you right over that edge into psychosis...of course, if the stories about his adolescence are any indication, he was already pretty far gone.

Sure, but the reason he hated himself no doubt had a lot to do with his parents extremist beliefs. Amongst other things. The environment he grew up in was probably a large part of what created his self hatred.

Agreed.

The thing I find weird here is the discrepancy between the fbi reports , and the eyewitnesses, In terms of grinder use and what not. Some of the witnesses said he had been to the club and used gay dating apps, and the fbi said no. Data trails don't go away, even if all his devices were wiped, grinder knows who used grinder. Archive may even have it. The club should have other videos of him in the club on the dates other folks claim he was there, there is stuff here that still dosent make sense to me.

Yeah, I'm also getting a bit confused. They're also saying that he had no known connections to terror groups. It's entirely possible that this was a disturbed young man who showed signs of violence throughout his life, and used his poor understanding of Islamic jihadism and terrorist organizations as cover for a general anger that he felt against the world. Hell, if he hadn't tried to claim allegiance to all of those groups at the same time, I'd just say "Yeah, okay, radicalized by the Internet".
