A suspected Islamic terrorist opened fire at a gay nightclub in Florida, killing 50 people and wounding another 53 before he was killed by police. While authorities continue to investigate to determine whether this man had ties to ISIS, the terror organization has not been quiet in praising the attack. This comes three days after ISIS announced they would attack somewhere in Florida. Today's attack marks the largest act of terrorism on US soil since 9/11.

takyon: The gunman reportedly called 911 emergency services to pledge allegiance to ISIS. The President will hold a briefing momentarily. Compare this article to the original submission.

    > Islamic terrorists do it because their religion demands it of them.

    Nope. Their religious interpretation provides an excuse for them to act on their own prejudices.
    Islam no more demands it of them than Christianity demands it of christians ala leviticus 20:13 [biblehub.com]

    If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.
    They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

    Islam, as preached in many mosques, does in fact demand it and is precisely why this happens. Christianity, barring a few disavowed nutjobs, preaches only peace from the pulpit. Equating the two makes you look like a fool.

      In your wet dreams.
      Compared to the daily evangelical fixation on LGBQT, the topic barely comes up in most mosques.
      I doubt you've ever even been in a mosque.
