2017.06.12 Omits Islam from Islamic attack

WaPo forgot to mention anything about Islam or Terrorism in rememberence of Orlando (Pulse) nightclub shooting.

WaPo forgot to mention anything about Islam or Terrorism in rememberence of Orlando (Pulse) nightclub shooting. They remembered to stress the need for gun control and gay safe spaces, since Omar didn't know it was a gay nightclub, and no proposed gun control laws that would have helped (since he passed background checks).

Facts

It's easy to get confused -- Omar only explained on the phone to police (and multiple hostages) why he was doing it for 2 1/2 hours, saying he was carrying out the shooting on behalf of ISIL and the shooting was "triggered" by a U.S.-led bombing strike in Iraq that killed Abu Wahib, an ISIL military commander, on May 6. And, "tell America to stop bombing Syria and Iraq". Yup, sounds like just another random mass murder, for no known reason at all.

The reason 49 people died? More than half bled out, because the local cops broke protocol and incompetently treated it as a hostage situation, instead of an active shooter situation, otherwise probably half+ could have been saved.

The media is too busy spinning the gay nightclub angle or gun control angles, to try to find the real problems that could have reduced the body count by half - police incompetence, failing to heed warnings on Islamic terrorism, the media sensationalizing these attacks, and so on.
