Seddique Mateen

denounced his son's actions.

The father of Omar Mateen has denounced his son, two days after the Orlando 
shooter's 
<http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/16929-orlando-nightclub-massacre-is-countrys-latest-mass-shooting-in-a-series-of-deadly-attacks>
 stormed 
a popular gay nightclub, killing 49 people and leaving dozens injured. 

In an interview with Inside Edition from his home in Port St. Lucie, 
Florida, Tuesday, Seddique Mateen said: "Sometimes I wish the son wasn't 
born."

"I did everything possible," he continued, "sent him to school, sent him to 
college paid for all expenses and he turned out to be a terrorist. I wish 
no father go through what I am going through."

His son entered the club early Sunday morning, armed with an AR-15 assault 
rifle in what became a three-hour reign of terror.

"I am anxious to know why did he do that," his father 
<http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/16920-orlando-shooting-suspect-omar-mateens-ex-wife-says-he-was-violent-and-unstable>
 said. 
"I have the same amount of knowledge as you do. He destroyed the love and 
care that the United States offers to everybody."

He added: “He did it on his own. I wish I knew about it, I would have 
stopped him. I am sorry I was not able to catch him, he learned all of 
these tricks, whatever that he used to not show the emotion. I didn’t 
notice anything. If I did notice, I would have caught him and this incident 
would have not happened and we would not be here."

Incredibly, Seddique also pointed a finger at the club, claiming it did not 
have proper security measures in place. His comments come despite one of 
the club's bouncers, Imran Yousuf, being lauded as a hero for helping 
dozens of party-goers escape.

"If there was good security this would have not happened," he said. "They 
would have destroyed him and the world would be in peace. Why didn’t they 
provide security? I wish the action from the police department was faster."

In a statement to Inside Edition, Pulse called his comments "callous."

“We continue to grieve for the loss of so many lives and for the challenges 
the many survivors now face," it said. "We simply can’t find the words to 
respond to such a callous comment from the father of the man who 
perpetrated this heinous act."

The comments Seddique Mateen made Tuesday were a far cry from his original 
remarks to reporters the day before.

In a series of interviews Monday, Seddique said: “God himself will punish 
those involved in homosexuality, this is not for the servants.”

On Tuesday, he apologized for those words, saying he spoke in the heat of 
the moment and was not thinking properly.

“If anything I said that was wrong, I hope they forgive me,” he said.

As he decried his 29-year-old son's actions, he declared his wishes to 
visit victims  
<http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/16926-missing-man-who-sent-his-mom-chilling-texts-from-inside-orlando-club-is-among-the>and
 
their families. He also denounced radical Islam groups, saying: “They have 
a sickness that I wish we can destroy.”
