People are getting fed up with the Obama administration’s determination to obscure the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat. And that is all to the good.
“BREAKING: DOJ releases UNREDACTED transcript after criticism,” The Right Scoop, June 20, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
After much criticism this morning, the FBI and DOJ released an unredacted transcript one of the 911 calls Omar Mateen made, where he pledged allegiance to ISIS:

Here’s the original transcript they released….



concerned canadian says
hahahhahha what a complete turd !!!
looks good on him
mortimer says
Obama and Hillary are acting like third-world dictators implementing information control.
The USA is the land of the free and the land of freedom of expression!
USA does not mean UNDER SAUDI ARABIA as Obama and Hillary think.
miriamrove says
And this is not good enough for them to call this an act of terrorism. m
Cecilia Ellis says
It’s refreshing to see the success of We-the-People backlash to the DOJ redacted version.
Angemon says
Indeed.
Diane Harvey says
And another thing. Why are the tapes of the local police, whose salaries and taping equipment are paid by local taxpayers, being taken over by fedgov which tries to pull the fast one with censorship?
Cecilia Ellis says
Diane, the irony here is that it would normally be a state-led investigation, except in cases of terrorism, for which the FBI is charged with the primary investigative role. The very fact that the FBI is in charge telegraphs the motive of this massacre, a motive that was clear early on.
mortimer says
Too true. This is a war, not law enforcement.
Carolyne says
When an attack upon innocent civilians by a person with a Middle Eastern name commits violence, you can bet it’s Islamic terrorism.
In three cases that I can think of, the FBI had contact with the perpetrators prior to the act and failed to take action or even watch these Muslim. For fear of being called Islamophobic, I suppose: Boston Marathon, San Bernardino Christmas party and the Pulse Nightclub attack. When an incident is reported that a Middle Eastern appearing man tried and failed to buy body armor, the reporter to the FBI was ignored and then he went on to buy the guns and ammunition to kill 49 people in Orlando. Yet, likely the FBI would put all its resources into apprehending a person who puts bacon on the doorknob of a Mosque, which I don’t think is even illegal. Petty vandalism, maybe. From whom does the FBI get its orders? Loretta Lynch. From whom does she get her orders? Barrack Hussein Obama.
Cecilia Ellis says
Carolyne wrote: “Yet, likely the FBI would put all its resources into apprehending a person who puts bacon on the doorknob of a Mosque, which I don’t think is even illegal.”
Carolyne, at present, there is a major effort to ban the sale of “assault bacon.” It’s only a matter of time before it is designated as a weapon of mass destruction. ?
Carolyne says
I am really glad that I got my assault bacon before they ban it.
UriahB says
Makes Nixon’s 18 minute gap in Watergate tapes so ridiculously benign. An AG redacting tapes in times of war. Imagine FDR releasing Hitler’s speech without reference to Nazis and their victims. Time to impeach. This is blatant attack on 1st ammendment. But most Americans interested in what Kardashian is wearing and hoisting a couple to the Cavaliers . Man, are we in trouble!
Dr. W says
He didn’t say God, did he?
JawsV says
No, he said Allah. You see where it’s noted “Arabic.” But, that was too much “Islam” for the Dhimmis so they changed it to God. As if Allah’s God! What a total joke.
Dr. W says
The difference between Allah and God is important.
Allah is so to say: The God, it’s not allowed for muslims to call other Gods Allah and it is forbidden for non-muslims to call their non-muslim God Allah.
The audio-document is not available. right?
Jaladhi says
Why is DOJ replacing allah with God? Is this another manipulation to change the narrative. Over the TV news they were saying allah was used yet in the transcript I don’t any allah here. I sure the killer didn’t use God in his conversation with 911 operator.
billybob says
Good call! Of course they removed the word “Allah” and replaced it with “God”, as if it were the same thing. This is an insidious attempt to distance he actions from Allah (who would be most pleased).
gravenimage says
Good catch.
CogitoErgoSum says
Doesn’t “Allah” in English mean “the god?” So I would have made the transcript read, “Praise be to the god and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of the god.”
linnte says
It means the god, not THE God. Semantics in this case, are important.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, in communication small things can sometimes carry great meaning. Muslims like to play with words … as do politicians.
Carmel says
Muslims like to play with words when it is not with swords…
linnte says
Yes and 1400 years of practice makes them good at it.
gravenimage says
They shouldn’t have changed or interpreted the words at all, but just have reported what he said accurately.
Cecilia Ellis says
Cogito, under normal circumstances your deduction would be correct. However, to translate “Allah” as “God” is considered an offense to many Muslims. Take, for example, the following news reports, extracts of which are provided:
1. “Churches have been burnt down in Malaysia in a row over Christians using the word Allah for God . . . One popular objection among Malaysian Muslims to the use of Allah by Christians is that it might lead to Muslims being lured into conversion to Christianity. The implicit thinking seems to be that Allah is the name of God used in the Koran, and that the God worshipped by Christians is a false god.”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherhowse/7110855/The-Christians-who-call-God-Allah.html
2. “Allah can no longer be used by a Christian newspaper in Malaysia to refer to God after a landmark court ruling on Monday, reversing a decision made four years previously that maintained the term transcended different faiths.”
http://world.time.com/2013/10/15/allah-means-god-unless-youre-a-christian-in-malaysia/
3. “According to a series of government orders and rulings by Malaysia’s Islamic councils, the word for God in the Malay language — ‘Allah’ — is reserved for Muslims. Malay-language Bibles are banned everywhere except inside churches. State regulations ban a list of words, including Allah, in any non-Muslim context . . . The government’s National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs deliberated on the issue of whether non-Muslims have the right to use the word Allah and issued a fatwa. ‘The conference decided that the word Allah is a sacred word specific only to the religion and followers of Islam and it cannot be used or made to be similar with religions other than Islam,’ said the fatwa, which was posted on the government’s ‘e-fatwa’website.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/04/world/asia/in-malaysia-allah-is-reserved-for-muslims-only.html?_r=1
It appears that Muslims own words as well . . .
Georg says
This administration is hideous. Nothing they say, obviously on these issues in particular, can be trusted at all. It’s what we get from a President who tells Christians to get off their high horse on Easter Morning.
Carolyne says
I suppose that to the government, saying God instead of Allah would make it less Muslim sounding. But we know. We always know.
UriahB says
PC PC PC
Ted Tyler says
The actions of politicians are driven by politics. Obama saw that the omission was making him look bad – so the correction was made.
Budvarakbar says
What correction — it still says “God” instead of “Allah”
linnte says
! YHWH and Allah are in opposite spectrums of the graph. You have not read Islamic texts juxtaposed with the whole Bible have you? It was clear to me as a Pagan (but now Christian) when I did this reading, that Allah exemplifies Biblical examples of Satan, and Islamic actions and lifestyle/ideology prove this too.
ele says
Trump had better start using this against Hill-Billy (singular:noun, Hitlery) and their supporter PrezMohammedan BS!
Keys says
Why would anyone believe this is the full, unredacted transcript?
rara says
Now please somebody who knows Arabic please reconstruct the Arabic parts so that we know how it actually sounded when he actually spoke “Allah” and not “God.”
rara says
“In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficent” sounds almost like the famous “Bismillah” from Bohemian Rhapsody:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basmala
The Basmala is the short form of “In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful” and not “”In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Beneficent.” but if he said the short form it is anyway just:
“Bismillah”
gravenimage says
rara wrote:

……………………..
It sounds like “Bismillah” because it is, rara. Queen’s Freddy Mercury (born Farokh Bulsara) was born to a Zoroastrian family, and they had to flee Muslim violence in Zanzibar when he was a child.
Mercury was always private about his faith, but there is no doubt that he was well aware of Islam.
rara says
The common translation of the meaning “bismillah” doesn’t involve “the beneficent,” otherwise, I agree with you. I just don’t know if he really said something with explicit “the beneficent” or if he really simply (my guess) just said “bismillah” and the “translators” attempted to obscure the very common phrases by selecting the less competent translations.
Jay Boo says
Bismillah — the boinking of six year old Aihsa
rara says
The translated phrase
“Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [Arabic]”
is most probably just “salat”:
http://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/5725/should-i-say-sallallahu-alaihi-wa-sallam-or-alaihis-salam-within-salat
“ṣalla llāhu ʿalay-hi wa-alehe-wa-sallam”
rara says
The third line
I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may God protect him [Arabic], on behalf of the Islamic State.
was probably just:
I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, ʿalayhi as-salām, on behalf of the Islamic State.
which is commonly translated as “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, peace be upon him” !
Guest says
What do you know we can still make the government do what we want. Good to know.

DOJ releases unredacted Orlando jihad transcript after criticism
………………………..
Disgusting that the DOJ redacted this transcript–but kudos to people for criticizing this repulsive whitewash. We *can* hold authorities feet to the fire–we just shouldn’t have to.
R Cole says
How do you make something more popular – censor it!!
They replaced ‘Allah’ with ‘God’. That is why they won’t let us ‘hear’ the recording.
The DOJ should protect Americans – first – not Islam.
::
The Mirage of Islamophobia
Obama was too arrogant on Islam. He thumbed his nose at Europe – said American Muslims are more integrated. And is now realizing what many in Europe had come to understand about Muslims – it is not what you do – it is what they do.
The Orlando shooter had a house to sell for $10, a car, a college education, a steady job, an apartment, a wife and a kid – he could even practice his religion freely – what more could America have offered him.
The redacted then unredacted transcripts – is not about the terrorist’s narrative – but Obama’s narrative that’s falling apart.
It was just over six months ago that we had the San Bernardino terrorist attack. And now once again fear of ‘offending’ Islam or “Islamophobia” has been placed above national security.
Clearly there is a divided loyalty – at the heart of these repeated attacks. Or maybe not!
Maybe Islam does come first!
Lynne Marton says
There is no “maybe” about it. islam DOES come first.
Your gov’t has a very skewered sense of priorities – they protect the terrorists – your president has proven that time and time again. Every once in a while, he’ll make some appropriate noises as a sort of show of “sympathy” for the victims of a moslem terrorist attack in your country, but will NEVER call it that – you already know it.
They are allowing these moslem terrorist invaders into your country – there are many that have already been there – in sleeper cells for quite some time – just waiting …… Isis has even admitted it – many times – in English AND in Arabic. Just go on You Tube – you can hear it from their imams all over the world, and themselves.
All references to islam, moslem terrorists, islamic terror(ism), jihad and all other words with particular reference to this topic have been removed from the FBI, Homeland Security and all other so-called “watchlists”.- they have been forbidden to use them.
You may ask “WHY?” The answer MUST be evident by now!!!
rara says
Even the words of the French president as he said “Islamist terrorism” were at first censored in April:
http://nypost.com/2016/04/02/white-house-doctors-video-to-remove-islamic-terrorism-quote/
Georg says
This time the Obama admin’s nominal reasoning for not releasing the audio was to avoid “re-traumatizing” the victims. So what’s with hiding Holland’s mention of Islamist terrorist?
It speaks to their insecurity regarding their true arguments that they hide them from us and dissemble. If their reasoning is sound, why not just make the case that it would offend “allies”, etc? Obviously they know the people won’t go for that argument so they lie to us. Meanwhile Obama has no compunction about bringing up the timely crusades at Easter breakfast and talking about terrible deeds done in the name of Christ. As if he’d ever dream of naming Muhammed or any of his despicable teachings for the horror needlessly inflicted upon this world each and every day. At some point it becomes obvious where one’s allegiance lies.
Raptor says
The guns did it….don’t you get it…..it’s the guns. Has nothing to do with Islam. Nothing at all.
Carolyne says
Does that mean the guns just walked into that nightclub all by themselves and started shooting? Is that what these liberal thugs want us to believe? Sorry, it was the Muslim.
gravenimage says
Raptor is being sarcastic, Carolyne.
Carolyne says
Uh…..So was I.
Bezelel says
The leopard still hasn’t changed it’s spots.
Joe says
Sure it is the truth now as he for sure didn’t scream Allahu akhbar, lol.
All the officials who release faked scripts are complicit of murder of Islam, because the public needs to be offered the truth so they can draw their own conclusions. Not doing so is like holding back a weather warning about a tornado!
aDhimmiSaysWhat? says
He DIDN’T say Allahu akbhar. The obvious truth is that omar mateen is actually hawaiian, and he was saying, “Aloha, Akbar!”
Keys says
Joe, I like your tornado analogy.
abad says
ANYONE who talks like that about a deity is Clinically Insane and should be locked up in a padded room.
And Islam is the Religion of Insanity.
JawsV says
Crazy Town.
Myxlplik says
If they withhold the information only to have it leak later, then it looks like they are suppressing, and it would be sensationalized because it was “forbidden” knowledge.
This was going to leak, it was only a matter of time, so to control the situation they just released it.
John Johness says
Not the only one (today’s report from Sydney siege investigation)
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/in-depth/sydney-siege/lindt-cops-told-to-play-down-monis-isis-link/news-story/5a5eb71c8cef0bc7d2429914cf08907b
The police sought and acted upon advice from a psychiatrist – who no doubt was well versed in Islamic thinking and actions!
In summary the police were ordered to downplay any “Islam” in the reports.
Unbelievable.
WorkingClassPost says
Here on Euronews, they just said that he pledged alliegence to ‘isil militants ‘.
As if the militants are some branch of IS.
But that’s OK, because ‘bama said that names don’t matter.
More Ham Ed says
“ISIL is not Islamic” … “No religion condones the killing of innocents”

Willfully deceiving the World
Running from the truth
Omitting Islamic Terror facts daily
Nuttier than a fruitcake at Thanksgiving
Going off the deep end in his quest for Islam
and it also depends on what the unholy ko ‘ran defines as “innocent.”
Erik Hemrick says
I think the transcript is still incorrect. The following line is a good example.
“Praise be to God and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God.”
I suspect he really said…
“Praise be to Allah and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of Allah.
Gary says
(OM) In the name of God the Merciful.

So, he did not pledge allegiance to Violent Extremism after all.
Carolyne says
Must have been a Quaker. Surprised that the FBI didn’t insert “Thee” in the statement.
Norger says
Good one.

What can be done in future to prevent delays entering building? Couldn’t one person enter…to stop carnage…..? Would a muslim police officer enter a building knowing the shooter was a muslim? Curious.
Any other suspects involved? I hope the survivors can help investigation.
SBJ says
What’s the point of changing the 911 dialogue? We already know he pledged alliance to iSIS. So Obama forcing a change of words isn’t helping his beloved Islam Quite au contraire
Rob says
Can it be that DOJ finally realise that keeping to the Obama line is destroying their credibility?
A Trump appointee to replace (Lynch or Holder – not sure about US Public Service) would be looking for the clowns who are so easily persuaded to edit Islamic culpability as in this Orlando tragedy.

When it comes to ‘god’, no one, absolutely no one knows what they are talking about…But that doesn’t stop[ them from talking a lot about it anyway…
Larry A. Singleton says
I suggested on other posts that comments here are nice but we’re preaching to each other’s choirs so to speak. These social predators have Facebook pages. I suggest that people put their two cents worth in, adding Mr. Spencer’s comments he usually has above the links to the articles as a way to debunk their BS and also plug Jihad Watch. The same with CAIR. (The NY Times, CNN, NBC, elected officials, etc.) I’m already blocked but there’s no reason not to saturate their Facebook pages our views.
The only reason I use what I now call Fakebook is because of the years I’ve spent going to city and county meetings and speaking during public comment. Most of the useful idiots in a community never go to these meetings. Which is why they become mini police states and extortion rackets; the public doesn’t bother to watchdog those they vote into office. They just go vote, strut around with that stupid “I Voted” sticker on their chest and sit on their collective asses the next four years thinking they actually did something.
I’d get so frustrated watching these corrupt scum treating the few people who bothered to exercise their right to free speech with nothing but scorn and contempt. There’s no way to describe how angry I get watching their arrogance and smug contempt become standard treatment over the years because they know they can get away with it.
Google my name sometime. I was front page news for a while in my hometown of San Bernardino. (Google my name, “SBdo, city council meeting and melee, LA Times”.) I take this terrorist attack on Berdoo a lot more personally than most because just like the illegals that have become the new normal, so will terrorist attacks become the new normal for the same reason. The same people that sold this construction worker out to illegals are the same people I saw crawl on their bellies to the terror mosque after the terrorist attack and sit there and read the local rag regurgitating CAIR’s talking points. I wish I had space to describe the colossal joke that was a meeting that concerned the terror attack I attended. Maybe they have it recorded. I haven’t had the stomach to check it out.
I watched the confirmation hearings of Loretta Lynch and you would think that most people with a grain of sense would be kicking over the furniture at seeing her total refusal to directly answer the questions that were put to her and see her for the evil, lying, corrupt scag that she was. However, the thing is, most of the useful idiots don’t watch these hearings. And most people are so stupid they can’t even see that she’s blowing smoke up their ass. I actually missed seeing these hearings but I study the issues enough to know what’s what.
I get utterly depressed thinking about these elections because of someone like Trump who finally comes along and “the people”, a HUGE segment of the population, Actually Are That Stupid that they would, instead, elect a soulless, deviant, degenerate like Hillary Clinton, even after the catastrophe, the utter disaster, the unprecedented treason, that has been the last eight years of presi… …Obama. It has literally given me nightmares.
Disgusted in Detroit says
They’re still hiding the true nature of this Creep. Translating his Arabic word Allah to God does not alert News readers of the background and unassimilated character of this hateful person. People need to be confronted with this hatred in their faces and know where it’s coming from.
Carolyne says
That is so ridiculous to put “God” instead of “Allah” even though they denoted that one word was spoken in Arabic. We all know what he meant by “Allah,” Once again they are trying to put some distance between Mateen and Islam but they are becoming sillier and sillier in their attempts to protect Muslims and our Muslim President.
Norger says
Yes, it’s really weak; “Allah” puts a point of emphasis on Islam.
My guess is they would respond that this is just nitpicking, that “God” and “Allah” are the same thing. (Sigh) I don’t believe in either one, but semantics and “spin” clearly matter to the DOJ.
Thomas says
Why aren’t we allowed to hear what he said?
We heard what some of his victims said.

aaron morand says
how much longer do WTP have to endure the Obama Administrations blanket of lies and their
magic show of deception? He and his entourage can leave NOW if they would like and WTP
would be SOOOOOO much better off for it…..even Joe as Pres. would be an improvement.
In my opinion CAIR is like Gobels during WW2..the propaganda minister of the 3rd reich.
Their entire being is based on lies and deception and fits nicely with the Obama*s PR program
re Islam/Muslims are people of the religion of Peace. In my opinion, NOTHING that Obama or CAIR
are pushing makes any sense….the Islamist kills a group of non-muslims and CAIR comes out
with a message that it is the fault of Christian bigotry and islamophobia and the Obama appointed
robot in DOJ refuses to say who the killer(s) were associated with and the motive for the slaughter.
It doesn’t matter that WTP know that KILLERS are rampaging through our Nation raping. pillaging,
assaulting our Citizens and murdering SCORES of our Citizens….it MUST be because Islam is a
religion of peace according to the Obama cartel….The Court of Appeals in the western part of
our Nation, the current pres. and the Hillary mob and others all want to prevent
you from being able to protect yourself in this type environment…killing/assaulting/etc by Muslims…..
WTP must not allow this to happen…..WTP MUST Vote IN Donald Trump and NOT allow
the GOP to manipulate the convention and take DT out….WTP have spoken and OUR choice is
Donald Trump and THAT is the way it MUST STAND…VOTE TRUMP!!!! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD
IN DC AND ACROSS THIS NATION. TRUMP!
