The shooting that #ISIS committed during #Ramadan (The holiest month of Islam) further proves our point that these guys are not Muslim

As a #gaymuslim the shooting in #Orlando is not Islamic in anyway shape or form. The man who did it is no Muslim. #Orlando #orlandoshooting

This Muslim maniac intentionally targeted a gay club. Islam hates #LGBT. Muslims hate gays. If you are gay, Islam wants you dead. #Orlando

#GaysForTrump it’s either that or have liberals sacrifice our lives to Allah to prove they’re not racist?
