You didn't hear any condemnations from the left when that muslim shot up the homo bar in FL either. They kept completely away from it.
Like Jim, and I, and many others for that matter, we've all wondered and have asked leftists, how do you square your love and coddling of muslims when they believe homos should be thrown off a roof and killed? Evidently they can't answer that. They might just expose their hypocrisy.
Maybe little Pete could explain it. I know he reads the board.

I sometimes don't know where you get the stuff you get. It was 'big news' that he was Muslim and the media, FBI were over the wife quite awhile. Then it seemed it was more about gays.Originally Posted by High_Plains_Drifter
Because of what you wrote above, I wanted to go check what's what. Seems they went back to the Muslim angle. Here's from VOX, not bastion of conservatism:

New evidence shows the Pulse nightclub shooting wasn’t about anti-LGBTQ hate
The trial of the Pulse nightclub shooter’s wife dramatically changed the narrative about the deadly attack.
By Jane Coastonjane.coaston@vox.com Apr 5, 2018, 2:30pm EDT
It’s been nearly two years since the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that killed 49 people — widely believed to be an act of aggression against the club’s LGBTQ clientele and “undeniably a homophobic hate crime.” There’s now conclusive evidence that the shooter wasn’t intending to target LGBTQ people at all.
In fact, he allegedly had no idea Pulse was a gay club, and simply Googled “Orlando nightclubs” after finding that security at his original target, a major shopping and entertainment complex, was too high, as reported by ClickOrlando.com.
This evidence dramatically changes the mass shooting’s narrative; politicians and individuals across the political spectrum had positioned it as an anti-LGBTQ hate crime. Instead, the new evidence suggests, the Pulse nightclub shooting was intended as revenge for US anti-terror policies abroad.
The evidence emerged during the trial of the shooter’s wife, Noor Salman, whom the federal government charged with aiding and abetting and obstruction of justice. Federal prosecutors argued that Salman had helped her husband plan and orchestrate the attack. She was acquitted by a jury last Friday, a rare occurrence when most defendants accused of terror charges accept plea deals and the average conviction rate in such cases is above 90 percent.
The shooter’s motive was apparently revenge for United States bombing campaigns on ISIS targets in the Middle East. He had pledged allegiance to ISIS’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and during the Pulse shooting posted to Facebook, “You kill innocent women and children by doing us airstrikes. ... Now taste the Islamic state vengeance.” In his final post, he wrote, “In the next few days you will see attacks from the Islamic state in the usa.”
Salman’s attorneys introduced evidence showing that, far from assisting the shooter, she was a victim of her husband’s abuse, including frequent beatings and sexual assault.

Well I'm not above admitting if I'm wrong, Kath. But you know as well as I do you can find just about anything online to validate whatever your point of view is, especially leftist points of view and propaganda since the internet is crawling with it, and google makes sure that's what you see first and buries any conservative opinion or factoid... but I usually always back up what I say with a link to proof...
https://www.darkmoon.me/2016/breakin...gay-nightclub/But as investigators try to determine if extremism motivated Omar Mateen, 29, to attack the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, his family believes he was pushed over the edge by pure hate against the LGBT community.
In any case, my point was that the left doesn't have an answer for how they can so love and coddle muslims when muslims believe homos should be killed.

I wasn't looking for a link, I was questioning your saying they hadn't covered the Muslim angle, they did. The family seemed to divert them to the 'gay killing' and as the 2018 article said, it seems the authorities came back to terrorism.
I wasn't doubting the gay part, that certainly followed. It had been well covered, both parts.

Well just to clarify, I was simply using that shooting as an example of how the left doesn't answer the "question," how they square their love and coddling of muslims when muslims think homos should be killed.

That was my point too, but that they do cover it. Perhaps not with the emphasis you'd like, but they do report it. In fact, as the later Vox article demonstrates, they even go back and add to old stories.
