Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Mateen checked Facebook during his jihad massacre to see if he was trending

Jun 17, 2016 9:49 pm By Robert Spencer

Omar Mateen seems to have been quite concerned about his place in jihadi history, and relaxed enough about the length of time he had before law enforcement showed up that he had time to check Facebook and call his jihadi wife.

Omar Mateen

More on this story. “Orlando gay nightclub gunman Omar Mateen searched ‘Pulse Orlando,’ ‘shooting’ on Facebook during massacre,” by Stephen Rex Brown, New York Daily News, June 16, 2016:

As Omar Mateen carried out the worst mass shooting in U.S. history at an Orlando gay nightclub, he checked Facebook to see if his terrorism was trending.

A letter from a Senate committee to Mark Zuckerberg details the gunman’s searches on the social network for “Pulse Orlando” and “shooting” after launching the slaughter Sunday morning around 2 a.m….

The maniac was linked to five different Facebook accounts, according to the letter from the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

“America and Russia stop bombing the Islamic state..I pledge my alliance to abu bakr al Baghdadi..may Allah accept me,” he posted on Facebook, referring to the Islamic State’s leader.

He also wrote: “The real muslims will never accept the filthy ways of the west” and “You kill innocent women and children by doing us airstrikes..now taste the Islamic state vengeance.”

In a final post, he wrote: “In the next few days you will see attacks from the Islamic state in the usa,” according to the letter.

A source said the Facebook posts came moments before the attack began.

The deranged gunman’s search history on Facebook before the attack also contained warning signs.

In May he looked up information on the San Bernardino shooters who killed 14 people.

On June 4 he looked up “Baghdadi Speech….

    Marc Zuckerberg gives such great help to those who want to destroy his own people. He is servant to Merkel and via that traitress to Adolf Erdogan, he lets jihady/arabo/islamist hate mail go rampant yet any little Islam Criticism gets suspended, he looks to me like a born-again “Kapo”

      Like many “progressive” leftist Jews, Zukerberg adores islam and hates the west. He will let any antisemitic, anti-American FB comment be posted, but removes any hint of criticism of jihad. He is a SCUM BAG. In a sane society he should have been arrested for treason.

    Vain sun of a gun, wasn’t he?

    There he often showed his face,
    To be a bacha bazi.

    “Yes, Omar, I’ve about 47 of the virgins lined up; they’ll be ready by the time you’re done. I’ve sent Mohammad, yes, yes, that Mohammad, down to the nursing home to round up the final 25. I’ll think you’ll be pleased. They are, as those Westerners say, experienced “virgins,” if you get my drift.”

    Hey Omar. What does Allah think of you checking FB to see if you were trending? Is he as vain as you are? How does your wife feel now that you are in bed with 72 virgins?

    • Lioness says

      Jun 18, 2016 at 11:55 am

      She is proud of him. Don’t forget that muslim wives are used to it that their husbands have sex slaves. No difference with the virgins, just in another world.

    More evidence that he must have had help holding the hostages. If not, then why didn’t some of the people in that crowded place rush him?
    This is something groups can do when a mass murderer is re-loading or looking or, in cases such as this, otherwise occupied with himself:: Rush the one shooting, rush as a group, rush from behind and knock the stuffings out of him/her as they re-load or have their attention on someone else.

    Wondering just who the others were? They will likely brag about it in the next days and weeks.

    “Deranged”, says Stephen Rex Brown.
    No, Mr. Brown, the jihadi was doing “exactly what this book says”.

      Jun 18, 2016 at 7:03 am

      Exactly my thoughts. Deranged? Definition: Mad or insane. The murderous killer was certainly not mad, or insane. I am sure that G4S does not employ security guards who are mad, or insane.. It’s JIHAD Mr Brown.

    He also wrote: “The real muslims will never accept the filthy ways of the west” and “You kill innocent women and children by doing us airstrikes..now taste the Islamic state vengeance.”

    And the FBI and the president can’t figure out his motive.

    How about 1) lifestyle jihad 2) revenge killing

    Stephen Rex Brown, like other simplifying and naïve Westerners, truly believe they can UNDERSTAND ISLAM without doing the REQUISITE and VERY LARGE READING LIST: the Koran, Sira, hadiths, canonical commentaries, Sharia law manuals as well as modern manuals on jihad.

    Preposterously, Stephen Rex Brown presents himself as an expert on Islam as well as on psychology.

    Arrogant? Speculative? Inaccurate?

    What are editors thinking? Are there no longer standards for what constitutes good journalism?

    Can’t editors find anyone who has a solid understanding of FOUNDATIONAL ISLAM?

    This Facebook nonsense shows, this vain piece of shit thought it was all just some allah fun, mass murdering. This is what islam does to the mind. With all its talk of murder and hate it normalizes these crimes for the faithful. If their god says it’s okay to be a murderous pig then there’s nothing to worry about, send in the virgins. Islam is a vile influence on the minds of muslims and it’s causing mass murder and terror every day. Allah and muhammad were despicable c*nts. And we gotta a billion+ muslims worshiping these freaks like it’s some godly sh*t. It looks the devil has found the right people to live through.

    (I hope my use of the “c” word doesn’t offend the wrong people. It’s just that it expresses my contempt so well.)

    • linnte says

      Jun 18, 2016 at 7:52 pm

      Jerry, hahahahahahaha! You must be British. That word is used by lots of British guys for some reason. It makes me wince! Hahahaha! In all seriousness, that word refers to female genitalia the likes of which I have. So, it makes me wonder about why men would use that word to describe another “really horrendous male”. Not being angry here at all, just really curious. Isn’t that word a part of women most men LIKE? Is it saying men are weak? Like the word pussy, as in “You’re a pussie!”. But here’s another reference to women’s body parts, yes? So maybe that archaic word is a hanger on from the old days when women were not esteemed as highly as men in European/British culture? Hummmmmm. ?

      • Jerry says

        Jun 19, 2016 at 1:39 pm

        I think most guys are offended by any suggestion they are feminine or “girlish.” And since the “c” word is particularly nasty all on its own it just seems to add to the insult. But really I suppose I shouldn’t use it. It somehow seems offensive to women even if not directed toward them. So I think I’ll drop it. And no, thank my lucky stars, I’m not British. I wouldn’t want to live in that washed up kingdom. I’ll take the U.S.A. over that crap any old day, with our 1st and 2nd amendments. They’re screwed, islam owns them. We still have a chance to learn from Europe’s blunder. Despite everything, I still believe I live in the best nation on Earth. And I’d like to keep it that way. That’s why I’m with Trump, stop muslim immigration. And even more, anti-sharia laws. And personally I’d like to see the mosques shut down too, but I won’t hold my breath.

          Jun 19, 2016 at 1:50 pm

          Glad you aren’t British for the same reasons you cited. Personally, coming from and old Hippie/biker past, that c word only makes me wince, not be offended. But if you use that word on Islamic men, it may just be a good thing to do. Use it, but put it where it’s offense has the greatest effect. ? I have decided to call them effeminate worm butts! Hahahahahahaha!

    He is a vicious savage and should be locked away from people and animals, too. He is too dangerous to let loose around people, don’t ever allow him to go free, best yet the WORD OF GOD says “A life for a life,” does this mean execution, the same way he executed all of those innocent people! I see no reason to show mercy, without a low of prayer and guidance from GOD!!!

    This was unquestionably an awful act of hate. However the more it’s looked into the more we see through the “main-line” lies about so many things. He may have had an “AR” type weapon. He also had a pistol. The so called “large capacity” magazines made no difference in the level of killing. I do believe he was in the bar actively shooting for 1 to 2 hours. Shoot, empty, reload, do again. It’s easy to do. Especially if you follow the advice of the “experts”, which is to play dead or hide. If you give a shooter all the time in the world, he will eventually kill you! When you have a bar full of fags, hiding, cowering in the corners and begging for mercy from the nut that is doing the shooting. This is not an effective defense strategy. Why didn’t any two or three people jump him? Because they were being nice little “nanny-staters” waiting for the cops to come and save them. They did nothing to save themselves! WIth all that time, I could have walked through the place with a hammer, and killed many more people!

    Jihad was meant to establish Islam. It was similar to an inquisition. The inquisition was necessary to establish Christianity and make it the main religion. Read the blue Qur’an with the preface to Jihad and this would be apparent. Sorry for the lack of which version it was or who wrote it. But we no longer need a modern day inquisition! Target those verses that make people radical- and debate them online!
