Washington (CNN) — There's a significant difference in how Republicans and Democrats view the nation's deadliest shooting, according to a recent poll.
The majority of Republicans -- 79% -- believe the incident at an LGBT Orlando nightclub, in which Omar Mateen killed 49 people after pledging allegiance to ISIS, was "Islamic terrorism" In contrast, only 29% of Democrats labeled the shooting that way, according to the Gallup poll. Most Democrats -- 60% -- saw the massacre as an act of "domestic gun violence." Only 16% of Republicans viewed the killings as such
Both. He was a radical Islamist and he was a natural-born American citizen. His motivation was a combination of radical Islam and good old-fashioned homophobia.
It doesn't matter what the Republicans and Democrats are calling the problem, because both their solutions are wrong.
You think shooting 49 people at a gay club is "good old-fashioned homophobia"? :doh
I was hoping the left would learn from this unfortunate event that ISIS should be a bigger deal to the LGBT than bakers not wanting to bake them a wedding cake.

You think violence against homosexuals is new?
I was hoping they'd actually focus on homophobia and social alienation.
Neither. This is a hate crime.

Maybe if you don't support gay rights, you should stop pretending you give a **** about them now. You're part of the problem.
That's such a cop out man. Someone can not support gay marriage, and still not want to see innocent people get killed for being gay.

I see an insane person go on a killing spree...that is all I see.
Can you give me an example of rational terrorism?
No, it's not. That is a cop out. If you don't believe that gays deserve equal rights, you are contributing to the attitudes that make some people think it's okay to kill them.
Nonsense. Radical Imams who filled Mateen's ears with affirmations about killing gays are the only ones who are responsible, besides Mateen himself.

Hit the nail on the head.
When immigrants from those and other Muslim nations migrate to the US, I'm doubtful that they're going to drop their culture, and support individual freedom.99% of Afghani Muslims, and 91% of Iraqi Muslims want Sharia Law enforced by the government.
