Terror in Orlando, Florida
by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: (Updated data by Editor) There is breaking news this morning of a terrorist attack in Orlando, Florida. Here's what we know so far:
A gunman entered a well-known gay bar and opened fire around 2:00 a.m. with an assault rifle
At least 50 people were killed and 53 were injured. Our prayers go out to the victims and their families.
Early signs suggest the attack was motivated by Islamic supremacism.
ISIS is praising the attack, likely the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil since 9/11. It is also Ramadan -- a time when Islamic terrorism spikes, as we have already seen with last week's attack in Tel Aviv.
The gunman has been identified as Omar Mateen, a U.S. citizen born to Afghan parents. Mateen was killed at the scene in a shootout with police.
There is a political alliance between the left and radical Islam in America and Europe. But in much of the Islamic world, homosexuality is despised. Iran hangs homosexuals. ISIS throws them off buildings. There are Muslim neighborhoods in London, Paris and Berlin where homosexuals cannot go. When will left-wing constituencies realize that they are doomed if the Islamists ever prevail?
The FBI and local police held a press conference this morning. The New York Times and Washington Post initially refused to report the only significant news that came out of the press conference -- that the attack was likely inspired by Islamic supremacism.
This is becoming the modus operandi of left-wing elites. From trade deals to the border, from terrorist attacks to hidden agendas buried in major legislation, the number one goal of the left is to prevent the American people from having the information we need.
At this morning's press conference, law enforcement officials kept saying, "If you see something, say something." I couldn't help but notice the irony that even when we see something, like an attack, our leaders, including Hillary Clinton, cannot bring themselves to say the most important "something" -- that Muslim supremacists are at war with America and Western Civilization.
And do Republican elites really want to continue to make the case that it is beyond the pale to suggest we need a pause in Muslim immigration?
