Why Omar Mateen? Why?

I am tired of waking up to news of gun violence, murder and terrorism. Singer Christina Grime gunned down, the weekend Chicago shooting tally, an Orlando nightclub mass murder… It never stoops. I don’t understand it. Why take a gun and turn it on innocents? Why?

They’ve identified the Pulse nightclub shooter as Omar Mateen (OMAR MIR SEDDIQUE MATEEN). He’s dead. Shot by a police SWAT unit. I want to ask Mateen why. It’s too late now, but I still want to know, so I watch the news and despair.

I’ve heard the words, ISIS, ISLAM and ACT of TERROR used in connection to Mateen’s murder spree. Damn it. That’s a reason, but it points to a corrupt religious motivation. The why will get lost behind rhetoric.

What I don’t want to know is what some media outlets insist on showing us; like a grieving mother who obviously thinks her son is dead. Or, the same scene of a wounded man being carried down the street by others. I think I’ve seen it 30 times already. Hey look! A wounded and bleeding victim! This is news!

I think the problem isn't terrorists themself, but those who sponsor them. How come a group living in the middle of nowhere can be so harmful to the world's peace? Governments have failed to protect us.
Muslims teach they're children to read from the a most horrific book of hate on a daily basis, and then try to claim it is just part of their culture? The parents of this man should be held accountable for the crimes as well. The Koran, The Hadith are rife with the violence that this man carried out. And don't even get me started on the evil bronze age Bullshit in the Big Book of Jewish/Christian lies and fairytales/ hatred in the Bible.
Possibly this is rooted in self-hatred due to homosexual tendencies. It's interesting that a psychologist mentioned this on TV before the news that the shooter used gay apps came out.
