Dad: ‘This has nothing to do with religion’

Omar Mateen’s father, Mir Seddiq, says this was an anti-gay crime, not a religiously ideological attack.

Authorities also believe he is part of the radical Islam movement, although they do not know if it was an organized attack or if he was a lone wolf.   Authorities also believe Mateen specifically targeted a gay club.

Mateen’s father told NBC News, “This has nothing to do with religion.”  He says his son became angry after seeing 2 men kissing a few months ago in Miami, and he speculates that could have triggered his decision to kill.

Law enforcement says Mateen was well prepared, with an assault weapon, a handgun and 2 suspicious devices.

The NYPD tells TMZ, Mateen has no association with the department, and that the shirts he was photographed in were unofficial garments that could be purchased at any store.

    Meanwhile, reports say the Islamist nutjob called 911 during the attack, and pledged allegiance to ISIS… methinks his dad knows what taqiya is.

      I had a friend Nasim, who told me Muslims don’t lie….she turned out to be the biggest liar I ever met and stole money from me as well….compulsive gambler it turned out.

      Then again, she could have been any religion or none and done the same…just don’t piss in my ear and tell me it’s raining is all I’m saying.
