It is a custom here, (Middle East) for two men to walk hand and hand and even kiss. if you've ever been deployed, your briefed
it, it's in all the mandatory cultural
awareness classes. So, for him to be outraged for seeing two men kiss in Miami is something I'm not biting into. As a New Yorker I deem it impossible for him not to have been exposed to LGBT Community as some point because NY is the Mecca of LGBT.. Wether he was a regular because he was having internal fights with himself or a regular in intent to scope the area and its customs we will never know. But if he was a regular it makes sense of him knowing when and how to enter the establishment without being detected in what he was carrying that fatal night.

A lot of this and other articles talk about him on gay dating apps and visiting this and other clubs with other men. His classmates an NYPD academy also frequented gay bars with in and he asked for dates with one at one point, so the articles claim. I don't think he was disgusted with homosexuality but his own homosexual feelings, is what the articles are getting at.

His goat told him it's either me or the club. He couldn't handle the ultimatum.

Before anyone says anything, I know it is in poor taste.

Another great point. How do we know this guy wasn't involved with someone at club that something didn't happen to cause him to go on an emotional rant? Another great point everyone who has a "Muslim" name isn't always Muslim. There are Jewish & Christian Muslims too. #WakeUpTroopers we're smarter than the media that's how we're trained to think objectively.

From what I've seen coming out today; there are theories that he was deeply conflicted and couldn't come to terms with his own homosexual feelings. As a result of that he turned to religion and to the most extreme portions of it that he could and sought redemption for himself through this action. The ISIS affiliation went no further then his own proclamation of allegiance and there is no evidence to suggest that he was connected to anyone within ISIS. Basically he was a deeply disturbed man who committed a horrible hate crime using religion as his justification for carrying it out.

That's just a theory that's out there with sparse evidence to support it.

So you don't believe the rumors that he attended Mosque and shouted Allahu Akbar but you believe the rumors that he was gay?
