What facts am I "playing loose with"?? I never said he acted under orders from ISIS as you are suggesting by posting this article. No, posting the article didn't suggest you did. You aren't the only person who reads this forum, Mike. no, but I'm the one you tend to respond to on this forum. If I had been directing it at you, I'd have posted it in one of our threads. But I started a new thread with the article. It isn't impossible that he was using ISIS to justify slaughtering gay people. He didn't call 911 to swear allegiance to ISIS until after he'd begun his attack, almost as if it were a second thought. Are you suggesting that claiming ISIS influence could be used as a legal defense if he were taken alive? Where on earth do you see me suggesting any such thing? That's just insane, Mike. "I was swayed to the *dark side*" but he actually just hated gays without any justification? Using religion to cover a hate crime? C'mon. From: "authfriend@...

I don't think anyone has? The article was written because there's confusion on that point (which ISIS is only too happy about). He has been recognized as a *lone wolf* from the beginning but the fact that he swore allegiance to ISIS before his attack strongly suggests that he supports ISIS and their ideology. It gives them credit, especially in the Muslim world. Why would he want to give them credit for *Sharia justice* or an act of terrorism, if he were not inspired by them and be recognized as a jihadi by them? From: "authfriend@...
