That's exactly how this will be spun, as Sally Kohn stated....radical Islam had nothing to do with it, its all homophobic extremism. The shooter could have been Amish with the same result, right?

Spoilers for Houllebecq's novels, if you care...

In one of the earlier Michel Houllebecq novels "Plateforme" or "Platform", a major plot point is an islamic terrorist attack on a night club in Thailand.

Most of the book is about the broken relationships between men and women, especially for the pussified beta/omega males. Then, he throws in a curveball with a bomb attack where foreigners come in to meet others to fornicate like mad.

His latest book, Soumission, as you may know, is about a France that has a large enough Muslim population to vote in an muslim president, while the pace of attacks is heavily accelerated. London recently has appointed its first Muslim mayor.

He's a weird ass writer, but worth reading. It's not a coincidence that the attack on Charlie Hebdo coincided with his release of Soumission.

A disgusting attack. 50 or more dead, and they are just out to have fun. I'm curious on how the reaction to this will play out on facebook, news and the candiates too. Which terror group will claim responsibility for this attack? Or in America do they just try to pass it off as lone gunmen like in the past?

I think people are beginning to see through the media BS. I know a lot of people outside this community, and they are waking up to the fact that Islam is a violent ideology and a problem for the US.

I have a coworker who is a big Bernie Sanders supporter. Over the past few months through chatting with him daily he's beginning to see the light. The other day he's like 'Yeah let's say 10% are radicalized...that's millions and millions of people who can possibly do crazy things.' Other people I know who lean left have begun admit to me in private that 'Muslims are crazy.'

It's progress.

The Daily Beast Wrote:Omar Mateen, Terrorist Who Attacked Orlando Gay Club, Had Been Investigated by FBI
Mateen was a ‘known quantity’ to federal law enforcement before he allegedly killed 53 people in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
Omar Mateen of Port Saint Lucie, Florida, came to the attention of federal authorities twice prior to being identified as the gunman in the Orlando nightclub mass shooting, a senior law enforcement source told The Daily Beast.
Mateen allegedly 53 people and shot more than 100 in total at the Pulse gay nightclub early Sunday morning, in the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.
The senior law enforcement source reports that Mateen became a person of interest in 2013 and again in 2014. The Federal Bureau of Investigation at one point opened an investigation into Mateen but subsequently closed the case when it produced nothing that appeared to warrant further investigation.
“He’s a known quantity,” the source said. “He’s been on the radar before.”
Mateen was a U.S. citizen; his parents are from Afghanistan, CBS News reports.
The senior law enforcement source told The Daily Beast that Mateen was born in New York and was married for a time to a woman from New Jersey.
Father Mir Mateen told NBC News that the sight of two men kissing angered his son.
“We are saying we are apologizing for the whole incident,” the father added. “We weren’t aware of any action he is taking. We are in shock like the whole country.”

The attack, he said, “has nothing to do with religion.”
FBI Agent Ron Hopper told reporters Mateen may have had leanings toward Islamic extremism. The law enforcement source told The Daily Beast there is no immediate indication that Omar Mateen had any direct connection to ISIS.
The source did note that ISIS recently declared online that its followers should mount attacks to mark the approach of the holy month of Ramadan.
The message came in an audio recording from spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, released in May. Muslims around the world fast during Ramadan in honor of the first revelation from God to Muhammad. The terrorist group believes it to be a particularly opportune time for attacks.
“Ramadan, the month of conquest and jihad. Get prepared, be ready...to make it a month of calamity everywhere for the non-believers...especially for the fighters and supporters of the caliphate in Europe and America,” Adnani said.
Mateen—who was armed with an AR-15-style assault rifle and a handgun, according to Orlando’s police chief—entered Pulse club around 2 a.m. Sunday morning and allegedly began shooting. After most of the 320 people there escaped, Mateen allegedly took hostages from a group that was hiding in a bathroom. Shortly before 6 a.m., a SWAT unit breached the club and engaged Mateen in what’s being called a protracted gun battle. Mateen was killed.
The deadliest single-person mass murder in American history before Orlando occured in Bath, Michigan, in 1927, when a man bombed a school, killing 44 people.

Kind of like the Boston Bombers were under investigation by the FBI and it got dropped.

I'm shocked, I say.

We're only one week into Ramadan. Three more weeks left. Stay safe everyone, and I'd especially advise you all to stay away from gay nightclubs for a while.

Posts that mention the name of the attacker are getting censored on Reddit, with a lot of backlash as a result: https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comm...ooting_as/

The comment section is full of fence sitters and Bernie supporters who say they're going to vote for Trump now.

Quote:I am now voting for Trump. I had every intention of voting for Gary Johnson until this incident. I will not allow a liberal media or a Muslim controlled subreddit to destroy free speech. There is no way on God's green earth that I will have Hillary as a president.

Quote:And I was just banned from /r/news. Good work Muslim scum. You just made a Bernie voter officially vote for Trump. I disavow. Hand me a coat.

Quote:Hi guys, I'm an independent voter who has yet to fully make up his mind on this election (not voting for Hillary though). I just went on /r/news and the second highest post with the story revealing the name of the shooter was LOCKED WITHIN 25 MINS AND ALL 41 COMMENTS NUKED. There is no message from the moderators on this thread or the main thread as to why they were suddenly locked. This is LITERALLY FUCKING INSANE and it NEEDS to be discussed by people on reddit at large, but of course it won't be because people don't want to think about this happening. Get this shit to the front page guys.

Quote:It's sad that I have to come specifically here for uncensored news these days. I'm not even a Trump supporter, I just come here because it's the only place on reddit that doesn't ban you for sharing the news.
And you know what? It's really pushed me in the direction of Trump. I can't believe that other subreddits, social media sites, news networks, etc. all go so far out of their way to hide the truth, to censor the news, to paint reality in their own, twisted light. It's just how George Orwell described his dystopias; the government telling us what we can and can't know, what we can and can't think.
And here comes the Don, an American who finally stands up to this nonsense, says his mind, and admits to the real problems we are facing. Radical Islam is a real threat! And you aren't a racist for saying that!
I have to say, I have a lot of respect for Trump and you guys here for promoting free speech and anti-censorship in such a corruptible world.

Quote:I can't believe that I'm commenting in Trumps subbreddit either. Censorship on reddit has increased so much, but today's is just too far. It's genuinely a horrifying, Orwellian, dystopian feeling, to be powerless to speak, blocked from information and discussion, and left completely in the dark with what the mods are doing.

Live leak footage from right after the shooting. Not quite SFW but nothing overly gruesome, either.

Why are so many of the women on wearing bras for a top? Anyway, I notice a lot of wounded are being carried by fellow club folks. I see lots of cops, not as many medical folks. I wonder why.

Exactly what have they given us? Off the top of my head I can only think of hummus and kebabs. And I could easily live the rest of my life without either of them. Perhaps if they are to make any meaningful contribution at all, the will convince SJWs, women and homosexuals that they are a direct threat to their existence, causing at least some of them to vote for Trump. Once they have fulfilled that role, they can get the fuck out.

Thanks a ton for sharing this - a glimmer of hope there for us maybe? In any case, what really irks me is how these people keep complaining about the blatant leftist fascism at work here, once again attempting to suppress the name of a Muslim terrorists who fucking killed 50 people just so to maintain their misguided ideology. Why are they not signing up here by the droves? Or at least find another NON-BIASED OPEN forum? All it takes is a click of the mouse - there are alternatives available (thus far).

Only if people start to abandon places like reddit, facebook, and twitter will these businesses realize that they are sawing at the branch they are sitting on.
