Mateen, a trained security officer with a statewide firearms license who was previously on the FBI watch list, managed to slip into a nightclub and shoot up the place.
Mateen not only was born to parents from the jihadist-infested Afghanistan, but he previously had a wife from Uzbekistan.
“Political correctness wins once again,” King told Fox News. “We need to start treating people for what they are. All this political correctness stuff didn’t come up until after 9/11, when CAIR came in and started (making demands about profiling Muslims).”
King said he encourages Americans to read the Quran “and see what’s going on.”
Haney has argued the same, saying that the White House focus on political correctness is focusing on the protection of Muslims at the expense of American lives.
“We need to take the TV remote and change the channel and say, ‘Look, we’re not going to watch this channel anymore. We’re going to watch another one, where the focus is on Shariah law and the conflict between Shariah and the U.S. Constitution. There are multiple points of conflict between Shariah and the Constitution, and or state and civil law, and one of them is the whole gay issue,” Haney told WND. “The LGBT movement is in direct conflict with Shariah law, and we just saw that in Orlando. We’ve got to introduce Shariah law into the equation. You need to talk about the American Constitution and use that as a safe place, a strong foundation, to stand on – are they going to attack you for being an Islamophobe or for defending the Constitution? – and contrast that to the Shariah.”
The war is bring brought home to America and it’s “come to a head,” Haney said. It doesn’t matter if the White House refuses to acknowledge that a war exists.
“Whose version of civil rights and civil liberties are you going to choose? America’s and the U.S. Constitution, or Shariah, which does not include civil rights for the practicing LGBT communities,” Haney said.
“Our government and the media are just desperate to leave this part out of the national discussion. They have been really good at keeping it on the same channel over and over. Lone wolf, hate crime, domestic terror,” he added. “Start talking about the conflicts between Shariah and the U.S. Constitution.
“Instead what you hear is Islam is a ‘religion of peace,’ this has ‘nothing to do with Islam,’ it’s a ‘tragedy for the community’ but it has nothing to do with Islam. Don’t sensationalize it.”
The fact that Mateen was placed on a terrorist watch list and then taken off after an arbitrary “time limit” on the investigation is also troubling, Haney said.
“That time limit sets off a whole cascade of very troubling observations for how we’re limiting our law enforcement,” he said. “That’s like planting a corn row and screaming at it to grow faster and if the corn doesn’t grow faster you dig up the whole garden.”
Florida Sen. Bill Nelson said “it is believed there is some connection to ISIS.” He said that information is from intelligence committee staff, not the FBI.
ISIS spokesman Al-Adnani had called for attacks in the U.S. during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which opened last week.
“What is happening to America? We are going to have to dig down deep and ask ourselves who are we as a people,” Nelson said.
President Obama addressed the nation Sunday at 1:30 p.m. in a nationally televised speech about the Orlando attack.
His comments focused on assault weapons, but he never mentioned the words “Islam,” “Islamic” or “Muslim” even once.
Obama in the past has refrained from the term “Islamic terrorism,” opting instead for the less precise language of “violent extremism.”
The year 2015 saw the highest incidence of jihadist attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11. Now 2016 has been stained with the same type of bloody jihadist attack.
When politicians and law enforcement equivocate and fail to call these attacks “Islamic terror,” they give the Islamists time to react, Haney said.
“They are signaling them to get your folks setup so you can keep putting out the same false message you’re always putting out,” he said. “The same thing happened in the San Bernardino attack.”
“We are losing this war,” terrorism expert Dr. Sebastian Gorka told Fox News’ Brett Baer. “People are massacred on U.S. soil and the administration is worried about Islamophobia. Clearly something isn’t working.”
Gorka said the White House and all levels of government “need to stop using words like ‘shocking.’ Nobody should be shocked by this. It’s not an accident. It’s war against Americans. I plead with the people in our government. We need to stop talking about this maybe being a hate crime. This is an ideological attack against this country brought on by the political correctness of the White House. I plead with them, stop with the political correctness, or we’re going to have more Americans getting killed.”
Danny Colson, a former FBI assistant director, echoed the same frustration with the Obama administration.
“We’re at war,” Colson told Fox. “We need to start acting like we’re at war.”
This brings to mind the famous quote from Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, recalled by former CIA Director James Woolsey Sunday.
“You may not be interested in war but war could be interested in you,” Trotsky said.
“So anyone who gravitates toward workplace violence should be greeted with skepticism,” said Woolsey. “This could well be Islamic terrorism.”
He said the FBI cannot keep up with all of the ISIS and other terrorist plots going on across the U.S. There are more than 900 active Investigations in all 50 states.
Woolsey said “this doesn’t’ have to be a terrorist cell or organized for this to be done by a jihadi. People can have very firmly held beliefs without being part of some cell. The search for the cell could be fruitless, this could well be Islamist terror without there being those kinds of connections.”
Many of the 53 hospitalized victims are critically injured.
Indications from FBI that suspect had “he had leanings toward the Islamic ideology” at first briefing but then walked that back at the second press conference at 10:15.
The Orlando imam called to the podium by authorities Sunday said he didn’t want the story to be “sensationalized.”
But the numbers – 50 dead and 53 wounded – are rather sensational, said King.
