If you say you are doing it in the name of ISIS, it is what it is. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Read mo sorry --- I'm having a problem with this post so it's got a double quote and can't get rid of one --- anyway --- I wanted to add this link to further what I said earlier -- https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/23/islamic-states-call-to-kill-westerners-has-terrorism-experts-divided It is the first release from al-Adnani since his June declaration of the establishment of a caliphate and that Isis would be known as Islamic State. “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European – especially the spiteful and filthy French – or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be,” said al-Adnani. “Do not ask for anyone’s advice and do not seek anyone’s verdict. Kill the disbeliever whether he is civilian or military, for they have the same ruling. Both of them are disbelievers.” let's see if this edit sorts it out ---- .

If that statement he made during that call was when he had decided to associate himself fully with Daesh, then that suggests the reason he went to the nightclub to kill all those people may have been something else, and his "conversion to fundamental Islam" was only the result of other pressures he was under. Unless we are informed he colluded with Daesh to go to that nightclub, or they gave him it as one possible target, then we can't conclude he didn't decide to attack it simply because he was homophobic.

The Difference I am trying to say is that someone can say they are something, but receive no support from them other then a pat on the back. Then that organisation can claim responsibility. What I am trying to get at is that this is most likely a lone wolf attack, meaning no physical support from outside. This just shows that DAESH can inspire people to do terrible things on their own with in the USA, rather then be able to plan out and attack the USA. Unless some evidence shows DAESH gave him the money to buy the guns and told him who or what to target, then this is nothing but a lone wolf.

I presume this was directed at my post above yours, susie? According to the reports he never claimed to "be acting in the name of Daesh". He swore allegiance to that group in the call to 911 but it is not stated if he said why he was going to do what he did. He presumably was mentally unstable, given his history of abusive behaviour, so the reasons he had for committing the act of murder could be many. Homophobia is one possibility.

I believe that is like the 1 millionth call for a jihad in the last decade. DAESH can claim they carried out this attack all they want, it makes them seem more powerful then they are. Unless they provided direct physical support this is just an Islamic nutjob lone wolf.

This radical religion has to be banned. YES i hear some saying, "but its a free country". but a free country does not give someone the right to believe in a religion which takes away the freedom of others by murdering them in the name of their religion....not matter what religion it is. The free country bit does not wash, the US citizen bit does not wash either. If someone wants to be apart of the radical islamists, then they certainly should not be allowed to do it in the west! What they do in the muslim countries is not something we can have a hand in, but who is actually running the western world where they can not ban a barbaric sect which clearly hates the western world? He could follow any religion he wants to here in the US. That's the beauty of freedom of religion. Most Christians would say they believe in the bible and many would say that they believe homosexuality is wrong. Although the bible does advocate for killing homosexuals, most Christians would not do so. There's no reason to ban Christianity because a small percentage of Christians might commit violence. What you outlaw is the violence, and that is already against the law. No one is allowed to commit acts of terrorism here. That's already against the law. The problem is that although people (US citizens and others) might "be on the radar," until they do something that is actually against the law, no one can touch them. I'm sure you don't think that the government should just wholesale warehouse every US citizen who says something they don't like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrorist organizations have a penchant for claiming responsibility for attacks, whether they were actually responsible or not. If the guy actually contacted Daesh members who guided him or ordered him to do this attack, then it's a Daesh attack. If he just liked their ideology, they still bear some responsibility for spreading around that crappy ideology, but ultimately, he's a lone wolf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Skellington Posted June 12, 2016 #149 Share Posted June 12, 2016 If members of Ducks Unlimited were shooting up night clubs or government buildings from Paris to Florida to California, surely we would take their shotguns away. Wouldn't we say-- 'Hey, you can be a member of Ducks Unlimited, but you can't own a shotgun? But no... Muslims musn't have fingers pointed at them... that's a microagression. Enough already. Just like San Bernardino- the shooter calls 911 and states allegiance to ISIS. And just like San Bernardino, the shooter was known to Law Enforcement, and Law Enforcement didn't act on the information they had. When are we going to error on the side of the American People? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
