Yes, he was born here, but to parents that are Muslim and his father apparently had youtube videos that favored his faith. The complaints against him were extremist Muslim related... which in my book makes this a Muslim investigation...even though he was born here. So from what I have heard from interviews from a former NY FBI director... that was/is off limits. They weren't/aren't allowed to "sniff around" Muslim anything. Those aren't my words... they come from him in a televised interview.
My mother was born in Oklahoma... but her parents were working in Mexico when my Grandmother was pregnant. They rushed into OK when she went into labor so mom could be born in OK in the US. If Grandmother had not made it back and my mother had been born in Mexico.. that would not have made her Mexican or made her loyal to Mexico.
Mateen's parent's were/are loyal to their born country and they believe in their Islamic beliefs, customs etc.... Just because he was born here does not make him American. I believe he was raised to believe something else and revere something else....
And no, I don't believe it was Florida that wanted this sealed up tight. IMO. It was the federal government. The Florida governor etc is republican and he has been outspoken on what he thinks. IMO.
This post respects all political and religious beliefs. I pick no fights with anyone. Just having my say. My belief is everyone has a say and should be able to without being belittled or attacked or dismissed.
