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.

    Of course they do. Why would a religion ban something people DO NOT LIKE? These types of bans are there to allow them to see how much power they have over people. Just like bans on encryption, or guns, or using a fucking bathroom. It's about control. It's about easily sorting out the "troublemakers" so they can be "dealt with."
