Biden declines to mention Islamic State in Pulse massacre statement
|
 [NYPOST] President Biden issued a statement Saturday commemorating the five-year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando, Fla.
The attack by gunman Omar Mateen
 ... the Afghan-"American" who decided he was a soldier of the Caliphate and shot fifty unarmed people to death in a Florida gay bar he used to frequent...
left 49 dead at the LGBT nightclub, marking the deadliest act of Islamic terror on US soil since 9/11. Mateen was rubbed out by police.
"In the coming days, I will sign a bill designating Pulse Nightclub as a national memorial, enshrining in law what has been true since that terrible day five years ago: Pulse Nightclub is hallowed ground," Biden wrote.
But the statement curiously omitted any references to Islamic terrorism or the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
— to which the shooter declared his allegiance shortly before carrying out his deadly rampage.
"I pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State," Mateen said in a 911 phone call.
