    Transcript Of Orlando 911 Calls Will Have References To Islamic Terrorism Removed

    In an interview with NBC's Chuck Todd, Attorney General Loretta Lynch says that on Monday, the FBI will release edited transcripts of the 911 calls made by the Orlando nightclub shooter to the police during his rampage.

    "What we're not going to do is further proclaim this man's pledges of alleigance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda," Lynch said. "We are not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance [to the Islamic State]."

    The Washington Post reported last week that the gunman made multiple phone calls while holding hostages: "The gunman who opened fire inside a nightclub here said he carried out the attack because he wanted 'Americans to stop bombing his country,' according to a witness who survived the rampage."

    Salon reported that: “Everybody who was in the bathroom who survived could hear him talking to 911, saying the reason why he’s doing this is because he wanted America to stop bombing his country."

    The Washington Post also noted that during his 911 call from the club, the gunman referenced the Boston Marathon bombers and claimed "that he carried out the shooting to prevent bombings, [echoing] a message the younger Boston attacker had scrawled in a note before he was taken into custody by police."

    FBI Director James Comey said at a press conference that the shooter’s past comments about Islamist groups were "inflammatory and contradictory."

    "We see no clear evidence that he was directed externally," the president added. "It does appear that at the last minute, he announced allegiance to ISIL. But there is no evidence so far that he was in fact directed by ISIL, and at this stage there’s no direct evidence that he was part of a larger plot." ISIL is another name for ISIS, or the Islamic State.

    Loretta Lynch says the FBI will release: "A printed transcript [that] will begin to capture the back and forth between him and the negotiators."

    "We're trying to get as much information about this investigation out as possible," she said.

    "LORETTA LYNCH: What we're announcing tomorrow is that the FBI is releasing a partial transcript of the killer's calls with law enforcement, from inside the club. These are the calls with the Orlando PD negotiating team, who he was, where he was... that will be coming out tomorrow and I'll be headed to Orlando on Tuesday.

    CHUCK TODD: Including the hostage negotiation part of this?

    LYNCH: Yes, it will be primarily a partial transcript of his calls with the hostage negotiators.

    CHUCK TODD: You say partial, what's being left out?

    LYNCH: What we're not going to do is further proclaim this man's pledges of alleigance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda.

    CHUCK TODD: We're not going to hear him talk about those things?

    LYNCH: We will hear him talk about some of those things, but we are not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance and that. It will not be audio, it will be a printed transcript. But it will begin to capture the back and forth between him and the negotiators, we're trying to get as much information about this investigation out as possible. As you know, because the killer is dead, we have a bit more leeway there and we will be producing that information tomorrow."

    I can understand them not wanting to give his propaganda the oxygen of publicity, but it seems a bit pointless, kind of like when we made actors voice the words of Gerry Adams.

    It was all the terrorist supporting organisations in Norn Iron I think, just that Gerry Adams was the one most seen on TV, which is why it is associated with him and Sinn Fein.

    It is official this administration will put Political Correctness ahead of sanity ahead of reality. More concerned not to offend a minority then they are with giving the public the truth. It is just pathetically sad

    This has nothing to do with offending anyone - should point out that Muslims are far from a minority - and everything to do with not publicizing ISIS. The more attention they get, the more they can do. It's like with trolls: the more you feed them, the more they post.

    Unlike trolls, I sincerely doubt they'll simply grumble and go away if we ignore them.

    All that does is create conspiracy theories and make some people not trust the government. This administration is way to PC.

    Denying a terrorist organisation the oxygen of publicity is not being PC.

    So you're saying people don't already think he did this because he's an islamist terrorist with ties to ISIS and hated gays due to his beliefs?

    except publicity is not the oxygen. Muslims ARE. Majority of its recruits are from Muslim countries, where they have no such restriction. This is to confuse the knowledge that he committed those crimes due to being Muslim. Because it hints doubts of Muslim loyalty to this country, since he was born in the country, yet put islam first. Which is true, some muslims and all muslims from some specific regions put islam before loyalty to the nation they are citizen of.

    i see no need for censorship at this point, as any person who would have been 'inspired' by his actions would have been so already. the information is out on all the news services and the killer is now dead so what is possibly left to hide? and who really gives a shit if he's a latecomer to the whole terrorist game, he still ended up being one and committing a terrorist act (the worst shooting in American history btw...).

    regarding the fact of wether or not this person was directed by ISIL, this point is basically irrelevant. im sure if you ask the family and friends of the victims they would not give 2 shits wether or not he was, just that he ended up being an ISIL fan and doing what he did, and thats exactly how many others feel.

    Imho this just further reveals the idiocy and level of manipulation some of our government agencies are willing to exercise to ensure political correctness....lets just remove the words and it didnt happen..../puke I think I've had about enough of this shit...let's mourn the dead properly, take any actions necessary to prevent any further tragedies on our soil and finally, lets please wipe out ISIS/ISIL and any other group like them.....its time for action once and for all...Finality....no more hiding behind words and phrases...that crap is for Kindergartners.

    Everyone knows why he did it, but your Government do not want to create a martyr by letting his declarations be used for propaganda.

    As I said earlier, it seems a bit pointless, but it is similar to the plea that some people make about media not making a "celebrity" out of mass murderers.

    How about the administration tells the truth so that more people are aware of it?

    The government is meant to protect people, is it not?

    The shooter was an extremist inspired by Islamic extremists who was the son of Muslim immigrants who came from Afghanistan.

    What if these terrorists continue to attack no matter what the current administration chooses to publicize? There are people who create this kind of extremism. The administration is playing with fire here.

    From everything we've heard, he was gay and had trouble reconciling his sexuality with his beliefs and his ties to ISIS. He wasn't an Islamic terrorist, he was a serious sociopath with a very, very deeply internalized homophobia.

    None of this was done in the name of ISIS, Islam, Christianity, or any other religion, and dredging up ISIS gives support to this crime as a terrorist event and not what it was.

    He didn't do anything on ISIS's orders, and he didn't do what he did for ISIS.
