Radical Islamic terrorism, not gay bias, caused Orlando shooting
Islamic terrorism, not gay bias, the cause
Once again, our newspapers, radio and television are filled with visions of another scene of radical Islamic terrorism. Yet the headlines talk about a gay nightclub being the scene of this terrorism.
Why not just a nightclub?
The media, like President Obama and Hillary Clinton, want to misdirect the public from the real issue. Now the media trots out a couple of red herrings. His ex-wife (married 4 months and had no contact with him for 7 years) is being presented as an expert.
His father claims he saw two men kissing in Miami. Yet this guy is on the phone telling 911 that he is an Islamic terrorist, and at the very least, an ISIS supporter. When this happens in other parts of the world. political leaders have no problem in uttering the words Islamic terrorist. But our president and the Democratic nominee call for gun control as the answer.
Our political leaders tell the Muslim community that they need to be more vigilant but allow an ex-wife and father to offer excuses for his behavior. My wouldn't the media loved this to be some right wing conservative nutcase?
