Look at these stats for terrorist atrocities carried out this year: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_January–June_2016
See if you can see a common theme. Clue, it's not Christianity, atheism, Hinduism, Sikhism or Buddhism.

my life my word
IS claim responsibility.
For me it's not about being anti-American, it's about being anti-pricks-thinking-its-ok-to-murder-people-whose-views-differ-from-their-own. Couldn't care less whether said pricks are American, British, Ugandan, Vanuatuan, Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Hindi or Jedi...they're a vile, filthy disgrace to humanity.

To be fair, IS would claim responsibility for a chip pan fire.

FFS any right thinking person realises the NRA are ridiculous. Having said that, if I lived in an isolated farmstead in the USA I'd have a gun for protection. My complaint was against the smug, complacent anti-American attitudes that are displayed in the first few pages of this thread. Read them.

Huh?!
Of course, if some bad guys pay you a visit in a remote part of New Mexico or Idaho, you just dial 911 and the cops are with in no time at all.
I have my viewing set as 25 posts per page. In the first 25 posts, the nearest thing to "smug, complacent anti american attitudes" I can see is
And I struggle to see how that is smug, complacent, or anti-american (I believe it's possible to mock something without being anti-that thing).

Surely a fundamentalist IS supporting Muslim is a right wing nutter?
No idea how accurate.

He's an American citizen and he has family that are not -- his parents are Afghan. Authorities say he was a terrorist and was targeting gays. They say in addition to terrorism this is a hate crime.
Authorities also believe he is part of the radical Islam movement, although they do not know if it was an organized attack or if he was a lone wolf. Authorities also believe Mateen specifically targeted a gay club.
Mateen's father told NBC News, "This has nothing to do with religion." He says his son became angry after seeing 2 men kissing a few months ago in Miami, and he speculates that could have triggered his decision to kill.
Law enforcement says Mateen was well prepared, with an assault weapon, a handgun and 2 suspicious devices.
The NYPD tells TMZ, Mateen has no association with the department, and that the shirts he was photographed in were unofficial garments that could be purchased at any store.

The NRA has over 5 million members, and whilst we here in the UK view them as looney tunes they are taken seriously in the States, where there are 112 guns per each 100 of the population.

This one was a registered Democrat.
Seems that the very same father supported the Taliban: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...d-to-run-for-the-afghan-presidency/?tid=sm_tw
