Representative news reports of the Gay bar massacre in Orlando, Fl where 50 individuals were killed and 53 injured include the following:
-- Gunman pledged allegiance to ISIS before Florida gay club massacre
-- ISIS claims responsibility for America's most deadly mass shooting:
** In an important article titled "Killing Homosexuals is not ISIS law, it is Muslim law," Andrew C. McCarthy states what should be common knowledge but isn't because of the elite's protection of Islam. The political class, he says, has concocted “An Islam of Their Very Own."
It goes something like this: Islam is a religion of peace, period. End of discussion. “Violent extremist” outfits such as ISIS and al-Qaeda kill wantonly, with no real ideological motivation. ISIS and al-Qaeda are thus not Islamic, but actually anti-Islamic — and if they cite Islamic scripture to justify their atrocities, they are “hijacking” and “perverting” Islam. Because we must see these groups as “anti-Islam” rather than Islam, it is acceptable to call a mass-murder attack “terrorism” only if law-enforcement develops some plausible tie to these groups. Otherwise, if a Muslim is involved, stick with “workplace violence” and the like. Finally when an attack committed by a Muslim is too obviously terrorism to deny, call it “ISIS-inspired,” or “al-Qaeda-inspired,” or “Hamas political resistance,” etc. — but by all means do not, absolutely do not, ascribe it to Islam in any way shape or form.
McCarthy rightly says, This is idiocy. Will today’s event, the worst mass shooting in American history, help us see that?
He says further: The mandate that homosexuals be killed is not from ISIS or al-Qaeda. It is from sharia — which draws on Muslim scripture. Read his whole article which authoritatively explains the injunction in Islam to kill homosexuals.
** National Review editorial: It's Time for a Long-Term Strategy to Utterly Crush Islamic Terrorism
Sunday morning’s horrifying attack on an Orlando gay club is not only the worst mass shooting in America’s history; it is the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11. It should be treated as such. . . .
The U.S. can no longer treat the Islamic State, a resurgent al-Qaeda, and other terrorist organizations as distant enemies. Islamic terrorists’ war on us has returned to American shores, and it will continue here as long as we refuse to exercise the tactics necessary to stamp it out.
