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.

Why now? Until when, or until what happens?

Right now Islamic State wants the world to be completely Islamic. Until Islam is no longer a form of government.

Are you implying that the Islamic State somehow precipitated these killings? I find it more plausible that they happened because someone was offended by the sight of two men kissing [soylentnews.org]. Perhaps the killer thought his victims were, as you called them, a "biohazard [soylentnews.org]." Someone can hold hateful beliefs without having a theocracy. Someone can acquire a few guns and a few hundred rounds of ammunition on his own without having a theocracy. To all appearances, that is what happened.
