Shame on you all, editors and writers alike, for wriggling desperately to find any motive, any at all, to avoid the clearest and most obvious one: Islamic doctrine put to deadly effect.
Islam normalizes killing of gays in doctrine and practice. Mateen was pledged to this ideology. Who are we, or Taub, or anyone at the NYT, to ignore his repeatedly stated inspiration?
Read Maajid Nawaz and Ayaan Hirsi Ali's articles in recent days. Rather more insightful than Amanda Taub's tendentious nonsense.
