    Can anyone explain to me how Orlando became something OTHER than a despicable act of terror?

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/trending/orlando-shooting-canadian-politicians-1.3631665

    How in the wide world of sports, can a terrorist attack against humanity, especially Americans, suddenly become an anti-gay attack? A rallying call for the LGBT community?

    Even Obama has placed his emphasis on gun control and "the poor, defenseless gay community." I think this is absurd! It could have been any night cub in any city in any state of the union; it was just fate that if was a gay night cub, and in no way was this ISIS against the gays in America! Believe me, if ISIS wanted to shoot down or blow up a group of soft target gays, there are many other places in this big word that could have been in their cross hairs!

    Why didn't this resident, and other world leaders just treat this as an attack by radical Muslims against humankind, and leave it at that? Instead, buy propping up the gay side to this story, the ground swell is rising and moving forth, and suddenly gun control and prejudice and bias towards gays are the rallying cry of the media, and the LGBT community as well as the left!

    This was nothing more than a terrorist attack! An attack made by a crazed Muslim man, who hated infidels, and wanted his 74 virgins in what he thinks will be nirvana, actually hell, because He didn't acknowledge the God of the Bible as the Father of His only begotten Son, the same Son, Jesus, who died for whohever calls upon His name to be forgiven and saved!

    This world is SO driven by politics, that life has become crazy! The politics of the left or right have become game changers, and in the case of a tragic terror attack where no less than 49 men and women were senselessly gunned down for a radical cause, the real reason and the real enemy has suddenly become people who own guns, and the part of society that hates gays, or are simply, those hateful homophobe/xenophobes.

    Can anyone explain to me how Orlando became something OTHER than a despicable act of terror?

    Islamic sharia law gives the death penalty to gays and lesbians and transgenders.

    Just a thought.
    We often read about shootings at rap night clubs. LINK LINK LINK

    The Orlando killer reportedly considered shooting up African-Americans, but may have had second thoughts about that, considering many of them would be armed.

    An LGBT club must have seemed an easier target.

    The basic answer would be that the massacre happened at a hom0se*al club

    It was both a terrorist attack and an attack on LGBTs.

    I find it somewhat odd that even a homosexual can be said to be motivated by homophobic tendencies. Don't think I've ever heard that one before. Seems there is no boundaries to the "importance" of focusing on putting any attack against homosexuality to the forefront of any politically motivated issue, even above the threat from Islamic terrorists. Seriously messed up priorities if you were to ask me.

    It was nothing more than a terrorist attack. It is irrelevant that it happened at an LGBT club!

    If you are going to make a headline story of this, does that mean that when a gay soldier is KIA (killed in action) on the battlefield that that was a homophobic attack? A hate crime? I don't think so! Gays want to be just like the rest of us, which means they need to lay down the stuff that makes anything happening to them as an American, a crime of hate against gays!

    But that club was targeted because it was frequeented by hom0sexu*ls.

    The example of a GI being killed in a foxhole is irrelevant as a bullet has no ideal if a person is immoral or not.

    Remember, it is the NRA's fault, Trump's fault, white Christians' fault and Western Civilization's fault.

    Certainly not the fault of the shooter...who, to the shock and horror of liberals, turned out to be a Muslim.

    Obama created the problem by refusing to allow investigators to tie terrorism to actual terrorists then he blames Christians and the NRA to distract form his poor leadership.

    Hispanic club several reports stated. Why not attack against migrants? Must be fair about all this.

    I believe LEOs call it motive. In this case, Islam, again, is the root problem, and not radical islam. Mainline.
