    He has a Muslim name and thus probably Muslim.

    "Officials said the killings were likely to be ideologically motivated, though there was no information that the gunman was associated with a particular group." Quite BBC

    His name was Omar Mateen. He may have an Arabic name but that name doesn't make him Muslim. He's a disgrace to Islam and I hope he gets punished in Hell for the 50 people he killed. Killing a person is like killing all of humanity and he has done this 50 times.

    Afghanistani bloke with US Citizenship, slightly upset 'cos he saw 2 blokes kissing, so went on a rampage.

    Previously had the FBI keeping their beady eyes on him for possible ISIS links

    No. People who indiscriminately slaughter innocent civilians and support organizations like ISIS have effectively renounced their faith in Islam and are considered apostates.

    No he had a Muslim name, that's all.

    A Muslim who murders, is as if he has murdered all of man kind.

    This guy was an individual phsycopath.

    I will never consider these animals Muslims, real Muslims must never commit such heinous acts
