but he surely did not think of himself as one....


from a surviving victim..


She described hearing gunman Omar Mateen’s calls to 911, and his explanation to the dispatcher that he was shooting because he wanted America to stop bombing his country. (Mateen was born in Queens, NY and his parents were born in Afghanistan.) Carter says he spoke in Arabic and pledged his allegiance to ISIS.

Afghani people do NOT speak Arabic. Their language is Indo-European and closely related to Persian.

This is the problem. The recent immigrants (since the 80's) and children of immigrants are not assemilating. They are not Americans, they are here to suck our money and go "home." Hispanics and muslims especially. They don't vacation in Hawaii, or visit Yellowstone, or on a cruise to Antartica. They go "home" to visit relatives. The send our money home as remittances. Cinco de Mayo is bigger in California than the 4th of July.

The muslims are like city folk who move to the country then complain about the smell. They want to influct their crazy religion on the rest of us, or kill us.

Their loyalty is not to America. They are "hyphenated" Americans at best. My family founded and CONQUERED this country. I am an American. Not a British-American.

This is MY country. Now, GET OFF MY LAWN!

So lets blame the poor victim sitting in the hospital because she did not get the language he was speaking correct.

It may sound like Arabic. Nitpicking aren't we?

The 'poor victim' couldn't tell the difference between the Arabic language and the language of Afghanistan (either Pashto or Dari), but somehow could magically translate that language to determine what Omar Mateen said?

Mental illness takes many forms and degrees of severity. This guy obviously was severely disturbed.
