No, but it gives us something to do on a Friday night! :thumbs:By labeling it Islamic terrorism does that mean the underlying causes will be ignored?
Once labeled, what does it solve? Will it stop future acts of violence...or inspire it?

You keep saying that, but how do you know that?
I take it that you have not been following the case if you don't know. Why make a poll about something you are not interested in knowing about? Is it to help support you own knee jerk reaction where you hear him saying Alu Akabar (like Trump tweeted) even though he did not actually say those words? That is why I did not vote in your poll, this is not a ISIS terrorist attack as much as another mass shooting by a deranged madman. Not that it makes me feel any better about it, believe me.
There are suspicions that he was really gay -- we don't know that for sure. We certainly don't know that he hated gays (that's your assumption) and was obsessed with them (also your assumption). What we do know for sure is that he pledged allegiance to ISIS and posted radical Islamic crap to his Facebook page. << not assumptions
Thati s why liberals have accomplished nothing in the war on terror.

An example of what could happen when serious mental health issues are left untreated.

This guy had been a mental mess since childhood... aggressive, combative, disrespectful, hostile, hateful and filled with talk of sex and violence. He was on the road to being a mass murderer/serial killer long before the word "ISIS" had even been created. He wanted to kill people, so he looked for a reason that would gain him respect that he lacked for himself. Who would respect an idiot who coldly guns down over 100 people? Why, terrorists, of course. So he loudly declared that he did it for every terrorist organization he could Google.
That said, semantical word games don't really do a thing to learn the mind of a person like that. They are tools of ideological expediency.
And the fact that Omar himself was possibly gay, and probably had some serious confliction within himself.
I wonder if he got male or female virgins.
I can't vote because it's both. Actually, your first choice should be "Radical Islamic Terrorism", because it is in no way reflective of the beliefs of the overwhelming majority of Islam.

He was a nut-case gone completely nuts.
I do not see it as an act of Islamic terrorism at all.
