Orlando jihad mass murderer was “QUITE RELIGIOUS,” ex-wife says he BEAT her

18

“For several years, Mateen regularly attended the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce and was there as recently as two days ago, said Imam Shafiq Rahman on Sunday.” Is this mosque being investigated? If it is found to have been preaching jihad, it should be shut down.

Of course he beat his wife. Wife-beating: it’s in the Quran (4:34).

“Ex-wife of suspected Orlando shooter: ‘He beat me,’” by Adam Goldman, Joby Warrick and Max Bearak, Washington Post, June 12, 2016:

…But there also were early signs of emotional trouble and a volatile temper, according to a woman who was briefly married to Mateen. The woman, who spoke on the condition on anonymity, citing fears for her safety, described Mateen as an abusive husband who beat her repeatedly while they were married.

“He was not a stable person,” the ex-wife told The Washington Post. “He beat me. He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn’t finished or something like that.”

The ex-wife said she met ­Mateen through an online dating service and eventually agreed to move to Florida to be with him. The two married in March 2009 and moved into the Fort Pierce condo that Mateen’s family owned.

“He seemed like a normal human being,” said the woman, who divorced Mateen in 2011.

Acquaintances gave conflicting views about Mateen’s religiosity. The ex-wife said her former husband wasn’t very devout and preferred spending his free time working out at the gym. She said in the few months they were married he gave no signs of having fallen under the sway of radical Islam.

“He was a very private person,” the woman said.

Mateen later had a son with another woman who also appears to have left him and declined to comment when reached at her current home.

But one friend said Mateen became steadily more religious after his divorce and went on a religious pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.

“He was quite religious,” said the friend, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity. Yet, he added, if Mateen had sympathies for the Islamic State or other terrorist groups, he never mentioned them.

For several years, Mateen regularly attended the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce and was there as recently as two days ago, said Imam Shafiq Rahman on Sunday.

The imam said Mateen’s father and young son would pray with him, and Mateen’s three sisters were active volunteers at the mosque, which had about 150 congregants.

“He was the most quiet guy; he never talked to anyone,” Rahman said, gripping a loop of black and red prayer beads as he held forth in a dingy corridor adorned with images of the Arabic alphabet rendered by children who come here for religious instruction. “He would come and pray and leave. There was no indication at all that he would do something violent.” Mateen never sought any spiritual guidance from him, Rahman said….

This muslim dead-ender head case told people he didn’t “have anything against blacks” (only gays and Americans and women) and that he just wanted the United States to “stop bombing his country.
If Afghanistan is his country, he was never an American and obviously lied on his Brady Background Check when asked if he ever renounced his American citizenship.
Just like the muslim obama has lied repeatedly to us about his own religion and his own deepest sympathies, which have always been with America’s enemies.
Any filthy muslim punk who gets on a school bus and makes jet noises crashing into buildings the days following 9/11 should have been shipped back to Hell, when he came. obama needs to spend the rest of his life in GITMO eating pork.

smart women don’t ignore reality. a lot of women carry weapons- of all sorts-

knives, pepper spray, brass knuckles- in America girls on college campus are putting these on their purse straps and small ones on their bra straps- getting the point across to a attacker has given the girls enough time to get away.

takes too long to get in the purse and fetch a weapon- it must be quick to deploy..

She apparently was so hung-up on shariah and its applications that she forgot that in America it is still a crime for assault and battery. Likely the murders could have been forstalled had she just done something and turned him in.

Bukhari (48:826) – Women have a deficiency of intelligence, meaning that their decisions will not be comparable to a man’s.
That being the case, why would she speak? The feral bozo’s of islamification are sharia complaint, she would have been accused of blasphemy.

Unfortunately you are correct. When I was still gov’t contractor (left last year) I saw all this islamification stuff being phased in gradually; most employees were bewildered at first but in the end became compliant.

They will remain so until the money runs out, or a new boss decided to change direction. The “flavour of the day” management style and direction are always expensive failures.

I have been following this story very closely and have been watching a lot of the television coverage of this attack.

What I have not heard is the discussion of the Islamic concept of “Taqiya”. Why is this not being discussed? This is the reason why this monster had been visiting the club. He was attempting to deceive others so that they would welcome him and drop their guard. The concepts of Taqiya, Kitman, Tawriya, and Muruna need to be brought into this discussion. This is the reason why he went to the club on previous nights.

Also, I have heard the father and other associates say that he was not “radicalized”. I have heard people say that he was just a regular Muslim. If this is so, then how can anyone tell who the next Muslim will be to commit such an attack? If we can’t tell one from another, what is the solution?

We need to ask obama about it.

He is part of the cover up. Notice how sincere he looked as he teleprompted his way through his blurb following the massacre? Phony as a three-dollar bill.

It is not being discussed because this concept of Taqiyya is still foreign to most uninformed and undiscerning Americans … but it is usually their fault for being poorly informed through the usual suspects: ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and yes, Fox. If information appears to be lacking or watered down, then cover-up is likely involved. Anyone know the Arabic word for “cover-up”? … which is why we can thank Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer and others like-minded for standing up and making the truth be told.

The solution will be ethnic cleansing because you cannot know who is or is not whatever you think . That will be unfair but no other practical solutions in sight . Spain did that in the 15th century.

The only real solutions will Probably never happen…That would be total eradication of islam, making islsm illegal or the conversion of Muslims to Christianity. Until that would happen then there will always be that “Terrorist Next Door”

Is the FBI even looking at the mosque he attended or has Obama stopped that as well?

The city of Houston, besides being a sanctuary city, will not monitor mosques but recently toyed with the idea of having churches submit advance cpoies of upcoming sermons. Maybe these are the right wingers the misguided DHS cannot identify by name.

That will be the current wife’s defense if she is arrested and charged with being an accomplice or co-conspirator. She tried to assimilate as an American wife by being a total nag, talking down to him like he was a child, asking him if he was minding his manners, and reminding him how wrong we all can be. Then he beat the sh*t out of her and told her to STFU and she now claims battered spouse syndrome. And he’s not around to argue otherwise. That’s quick thinking on her part. She should get off easy.
