People are crazy, targets are everywhere. It could be a non-isis terrorist attack like the attacks on San Bernardino, Charleston, Sandy Hook, Virginia tech. or an isis inspired terrorist attack like Orlando. As long as these unstable people have access to automatic weapons, it will continue. I have no solution for bombs, since they are made but we have to start somewhere. I don't have a chance against an automatic weapon.
I bet the shooter was a closet gay. You know, they say, the people
Who are the most intolerant are indeed hiding something. RIP to those lives that were lost and here's to hoping the animal who did this attack is indeed with 72 Male virgins in heaven.
With the Orlando attack, it seems that the islamoterrorists have congealed their hatred of the west and their hatred of gays. So with gay pride week coming, with it's very vulnerable parade, will it be a target?
Targeting large events is a waste, there will be cops everywhere. Much easier to pick a nightclub, movie theater, or bar like the terrorists in France did.
There will be more attacks, uptick in these attacks the last few months because it's too easy for a terrorist to carry them out than crash a plane.

Their "hatred" does not exist - US bombs them trying to convert them to western gay culture, and they resist, because they don't want to. Their culture is 20 times older than US as a country, so they do have right to choose their own way. That's what's really going on. Leave them alone, and you will never hear about radical Islam any more.
Gay parades should be prohibited because they are insulting to non-gay folks, which are still fortunately in majority, not to mention kids.
Hope, Trump will act on this when he's president.
Perhaps right after we stop bombing Middle Eastern cities.
I don't doubt that for a moment. His parents said he was upset from seeing two men kissing. More likely it was his hard-on that upset him.
ISIS kills more Muslims than anyone else. If you think non-involvement would suddenly have everyone holding hands you are living in la la land.
There is a basic fundamental disjoint between (1) universal human rights (including sexuality rights and gender rights) and (2) the main (religious) ideologies prevalent in the world. Human rights goes to how each of us individually wants to be treated. In contrast, most mainstream religions are about telling others what to do and what not to do. (Though one can't consider Buddhism as being at the level of dictatorial faux morality of Islam and Christianity).
As it currently stands, Islam is more of an actual conflict with universal human rights than other contemporary religions. 500 yrs ago it wasn't but that's not relevant. Religions are human-made and how humans implement them is what they are. Not some perfect ideal. The preposterous "righteous disgust" and empowerment that homophobes feel is usually based on a religious "morality." Its the same righteous disgust used to cover women in fabric, deny schooling to women, murder Bangladeshi atheists.
