Those idiots are going to claim any attack at this point, aren't they? Shows how increasingly desperate they are as they are being annihilated by the allied forces.

“Make it, Allah permitting, a month of hurt on the infidels everywhere”
This is not how it's done. This is not how it's done AT ALL.
They are destroying their own holy month.
I am not even a Muslim, but why do people believe things so blindly and why do they get radicalised so easily.
@S.C.:
He hated what he could truly never express himself as, and turned to (fundamentalist) religion to repress himself. Truly sad.
Been there. Done that. Bought the T-shirt.
The repression wasn't working, hence a more extreme form of repentance was needed. The concept of Martyrdom (kill your enemies and die in the process = free ticket to Paradise) has been dumbed down by so many unqualified street preachers with access to the internet, not to mention your ISIS/Al-Qaeda recruiters that you get nominal Muslims like this moron who have been living a relatively hedonistic lifestyle (uhh being naughty) get a sudden attack of the guilts and decides that killing a room full of innocents is the best way to get back into God's good graces and make his family proud.
It's a pity people underestimate the Deep/dark Web where ISIS is literally thriving. Deep web is like that store next street that you never bothered to check out because Walmart is two blocks away. The general population who are used to google and other popular websites are not aware of how easy it is for people to access sites which might not be tagged in regular search engines.
The fact that ISIS reduced publicizing their deeds as compared to how they were a year ago is testament that they have opted for a strategic withdrawal to work in the background. Of course, by that time they had already created a brand name which could be easily tagged to any violent activity whether they are evenly remotely involved or not. These guys have literally taken the concept of hashtags into real world violence
Isolated crimes would happen regardless of that. It's not like religion is the only reason for which a person would murder.
Yeah, we are aware of that threat, but deep web or not they are still doomed no matter.

Well, what a really bad way to start the day…Things are already on the edge because of the Euro Cup and the hooligans and now this happens...
Isolated crimes would happen regardless of that. It's not like religion is the only reason for which a person would murder.
Of course but the way ISIS have propagated themselves is that if you want to die a "glorious" death or if you wanna kill someone at the same time sounding badass or popular, use our name. They have become a brand.
Yeah, we are aware of that threat, but deep web or not they are still doomed no matter.
I don't see how ISIS can be rooted out anytime soon. Their reach has gone beyond territories or power struggles. They aren't a hierarchical organization where you take the head and the rest crumble. As long as there is crisis in the Middle East, there would be some physical branch of ISIS still functioning. The "ideology" part is obviously the more long lasting problem. In the age of rising islamaphobia, things may get even worse.

Of course, but the important thing is to severely weaken them, cut their supplies and ruin them. And this is possible and can be done fast, and in fact is already happening.
President Obama is giving another statement on the shooting right now. This time he's not resigned or goign through the motions. He's angry.
Edit: The speech was more about dealing with ISIS and the last part of the speech was on the rhetoric America falls into after shootings like the latest one.
It seems like that Omar himself was a regular at the club; http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/14/orlando-shooter-omar-mateen-was-a-regular-at-nightclub
If it makes anyone feel better, ISIS is in extremely bad condition right now.
-The Iraqi army is busy routing them out of the last major city in the west of Iraq (Fallujah).
-The Syrian Kurds and their allies are taking a medium sized city in north Syria (Manbij), which is the stepping stone to taking control of the border area there, the last border area ISIS has at all with the outside world.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Syrian_and_Iraqi_insurgency_detailed_map
See that entire northern border, and see the black dots. See how little border space they occupy. See how the yellow is surrounding a big black dot called "Manbij", and see how its reaching toward that precious little black left on the north border. That blob of yellow around Manbij is from just this past week!
-ISIS has been basically wiped out from their fledgling Libya position.
So rest assured ISIS is

Maybe not exterminated. But i, as uneducated as i am on the subject, would assume that ISIS as a landless group of terrorists relying on handouts from benefactors and random acts of terrorism it would be alot weaker than one that holds their own (by force conquered) kingdom, enforces sharia by their vast stockpile of weapons and sits on vast fields of oil money. Not to mention the loss of prestige, everyone wants to be on the winning team, but which manner of fair weather friend wants to back those that can only strike back with increasingly random acts of malice?
But yeah that the brand name ISIS isn't going anywhere might be true

Whatever amount of important figures are in Iraq/Syria are actually going to have a super hard time surviving as they're increasingly literally surrounded by hostile forces.
Russian/Iranian backed Syrian army, Kurds, Iraqi government….
They may actually end up flattened except for the parts that operate outside the state.
@Monkey:
A truly driven terrorist or criminal would probably still get their hands on a gun through illegal means.
But a lot of the more random massacres from lone wolfs? They might have to settle for handguns alone. Rather than things great for spraying into crowds.
And a guy like the one yesterday? This is a terrorist yes, but not an organized one. Internet ISIS. With history of violence, and FBI investigation. Easily stoppable from legal acquisition. But probably not savvy enough to navigate the black market.
Not to mention it easier to track people buying illegal weapons, if you see records of a guy buying an insane amount of weapons and such instead of of legally buying everything beforehand. I might not have stated that perfectly but just because we cant stop all illegal weapons doesnt mean that the government doesnt stop a good deal of them,

It's interesting how different the means are of acquiring illegal firearms in the US and here are
Like you guys have weapon shops, so thing like straw purchases and corrupt gun merchants are already two major points that could be handled reasonably well if regulation was enforced more strictly
Here weapons are purchased mainly from organized crime who in turn get them from currently or former war-torn countries, removing any controllable element inside the country, except vigilant border control. I've seen illegal firearms who came from former yugo countries in general.
This is an interesting bit from frontline, worth a read for anybody clueless on the topic
Baptist pastor applauds Orlando shooting …. this asshole says "Hey, are you sad that 50 pedophiles were killed today? No ... I think that's great. I think that helps society. I think Orlando, Florida's a little safer tonight," and "The tragedy is that more of them didn't die," .
... jackass really doesn't cover this "religious" man, total asswipe also doesn't cover it
I heard about that and I'm not wasting a single second of my time on that ass
It's always cringe inducing when people believe that homosexuals and pedophiles are one in the same. That and that Aids is something you can only get from gay people.

These are such anachronistic 80's era urban legends regarding gay people that I always feel shocked when I hear them brought up in modern times.

A Philadelphia reporter went to buy a AR-15. It took seven minutes for her to get it.
Also Anderson Cooper just fucking destroyed Florida AG Pam Bondi on live TV after pointing out she was using the deaths and injures of those at Pulse for political points even though she thinks gay people are the scourge of the earth and has been behind and supported some of the biggest anti-LGBT laws in Florida. The look on her face was priceless

I'm wondering why its take about …what... 50 years to a plagiarism lawsuit over this song to happen. in that link reads=
"The estate of Spirit’s guitarist Randy Wolfe, also known as Randy California, who died in 1997, is suing for recognition and a share of the proceeds from a mega-hit estimated to have generated more than $500m."
So the family of a band member - not the band Spirit itself- are the ones suing.
wait… further along =
“If you listen to the two songs, you can make your own judgment … I’d say it was a rip-off,” Wolfe, speaking shortly before his death, said in magazine interview, quoted in the lawsuit."
This baffles me, Randy Wolfe himself felt that way… but never came forward? Song came out in 1971, he died in 1997, he had 26 years to do so. Then 19 years after his death, his family decides to sue?
I wish the judge would ask why wait so long

The part of the picture you're missing is that this is far from the only such accusation against Led Zeppelin. Their earlier albums are littered with issues like this.

Nope not missing that part, the article mentions it.
Its not the charge of plagiarism itself that is confounding me, its waiting all this time to make the charge. OR did the article miss recounting previous charges from Spirit that Led Zepplin ripped them off and this is just newest one?
I can't tell if this is the same video I saw on facebook since Canadians are banned from The Daily show on youtube, but if it is, I thought it was pretty great.

Indeed, I don't have the context.
What I understood from the video was that she was trying to help and he repeatedly asked her "why are you trying to help if you were always against it?"
Because is like trump suddenly being pro Muslim pro Latino , you know and have evidence that is all bullshit.
Indeed, I don't have the context.
What I understood from the video was that she was trying to help and he repeatedly asked her "why are you trying to help if you were always against it?"
Because they're ONLY doing it right now because it's politically required and bad press not to… but two days ago they were actively working against all the things they are "helping" for the next five seconds.
So the question being asked is "why are you doing this for this five seconds? and will you go back to actively being against it tomorrow after the news cycle has passed?" and they can't give the honest answer because it calls them on their bullshit and hypocrisy.
It's NOT helping or sincere, it's purely trying to score political points off a tragedy and that's shady and double faced as all get out.

Horrible people aren't just shooters.
And what she is doing is making statements, so not doing anything.

Wouldn't it be easier to just round them up into containment camps. After all if they aren't ISIS they've got nothing to fear.
And while they are in there they can do hard labour to make America great again.
Also bring back blacklisting based on perceived political beliefs. Sensible policies for a new America

While we are at it, Monkey King, do you think our international security needs to be further streghtened, or is enough as it's now and people are greatly exaggerating the threat? I know terrorists can still attack, but at the same it can't be so easy, and even less now they are being further decimated.
The so called lone wolves are a different story, though. Those are more difficult to control. But at the same time I refuse to believe those claims that say thousands of muslims would be willing to kill. The ones who fled from the war, too? Thanks for your attention.

This attack was a lone-wolf, so how is it related to international security?
Meanwhile we're supporting forces who have been successfully destroying ISIS for the past few years. Not sure how thats a failure in any way.
Ah sorry, I have't expressed myself using the correct words. What I wanted to say is if Europe and the US should put more effort in intensifying security or as things stand now is fine as it is. Granted, even when they are completely cut-off the outside world, some might still sneak in.
Lone-wolves, yeah, that's a national problem, not an international one.

Its not just cutting off ISIS, its also destroying ISIS. As is basically done in Libya.
You seem very optimistic, but I guess you are actually very well informed.
