Muslim Blood Donor's Facebook Post Goes Viral: 'Together We Will Stand Against Hate, Terrorism, Extremism And Racism'

Mahmoud ElAwadi, a Muslim in Orlando, shared a story of giving blood to those injured in the shooting at Pulse nightclub that has now gone viral on Facebook.

On Sunday, ElAwadi posted a picture of his arm as blood is being drawn, adding a message that confronts the incident head on, while also offering hope by pointing out the good deeds that have followed

"Yes I'm sad, frustrated and mad that a crazy guy claim to be a Muslim did that shameful act," he wrote. "Yes our community in central Florida is heart broken but let's put our colors, religions, ethnicity, sexual orientation, political views all aside so we can UNITE against those who are trying to hurt us."

ElAwadi's post continues as he recounts all the good he saw while he was giving blood, including children volunteering to bring food and water to the "thousands od people standing in 92 degree sun" to donate, as well as watching veterans give blood and Muslim women help out with food and water.

"Yes I donated blood even thought I can't eat or drink anything cause I'm fasting in our holy month Ramadan just like hundreds of other Muslims who donated today here in Orlando," he continues. "Yes together we will stand against hate, terrorism, extremism and racism."

You obviously don't know what "lone wolf" means...

It seems he wants Trump to be right more than he wants the facts.

Trump is right. He's been saying all along that Muslim communities don't assimilate and don't report this stuff. He said to go after their families because they know of the plans yet never take action to prevent them.

He's right. And I'm sure this guy's Taliban supporting father knew of the plans as well.

Yes, look around at all the unassimilated Muslims in our very own community. Right in Jersey City watch for the unassimilated - the cops, the teachers, the EMT's, the doctors, the lawyers, the accountants, the college professors, the cab and jitney drivers, the media figures, the coaches, the grocery workers, the bankers, the small business owners, the large business owners, the parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles standing next to you as you pick up your kids from school. Yup, huddled up in their own insular communities, hiding the truth, fomenting terror.

God, you live in a very small and scary world.

No one said there weren't good ones, but it's the bad ones that matter since they cause all the damage.

And you're forgetting that Trump was 100% right that these families know about the plots but do not report them.

What plot? What family?

The ex-wife didn't have details on a plot. She said she knew about his plan to murder people. The guy's former coworkers, that were *not* Muslim, said the same thing.

Addendum: Donald Trump state that the murderer was born in Afghanistan when in fact the guy was born in Queens. He can't even get the very basic facts correct on the person.

Don't be ignorant of the facts. This guy's wife drove him to the gay club so he could scope it out before killing them.

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/orla ... ut-orlando-attack-n592051

"The Orlando gunman's wife has told federal agents she tried to talk her husband out of carrying out the attack, NBC News has learned.

Omar Mateen's wife, Noor Zahi Salman, told the FBI she was with him when he bought ammunition and a holster, several officials familiar with the case said. She told the FBI that she once drove him to the gay nightclub, Pulse, because he wanted to scope it out."

Dear Pebble:

I think a close look at the record shows sharply divergent approaches to violence between religions- with Islam being the only major religion that has a strongly violent character. The canard that criticizes the Crusades which were the belated response of a Christian society that had been on the defensive for four hundred years, is a case in point. Most scholars are afraid or unable to look clearly at Islam. The foremost scholar of the Koran, Christoph Luxenberg, writes under a pseudonym for good reason. Modern scholarship suggests that Islam was invented as post hoc ideolgogy when the arab tribes swept over weakened areas of the Byzantine empire and that it was constructed by barbarians out of heretical,mostly Nestorian, texts.

They had the older brother from the Boston Bomber Brothers too. See something say something. Red Flags all over this guy who works for a professional security company. Red Flags all over the Army Doctor Killer at Fort Hood. And remember it is the Feds also investigating all of the thousands of "refugees" coming into country.

do you know when mateen pledged allegiance to isis? i don't. also, mateen is us born, so how would donald's plan have kept him out.

Hero69 - don't know exact date Mateen pledged to Isis but FBI investigated him back in 2012 BT. (Before Trump) You're entitled to your dim-witted opinion but not your own facts. Get off your @ss and look for the facts.

Actually, no. This terrorist called 911 while he was in the club and pledged allegiance to ISIS.

That's why every country on Earth would properly recognize him as an Islamist terrorist who supports ISIS.

But don't let facts get in the way of a convenient narrative. Also it's not like gays aren't routinely executed just because they are gay in many Muslim countries. Have to forget about those facts too.

Then when the facts settle themselves, and the awful derisive narrative has already done its brutal damage to our society, then we learn the truth which is often much more simple than was originally thought.

The man was a monster. He took 50 innocent lives from their families and the world. Let us understand his motivations first then we can learn the truth.

Orlando shooter described as a regular at gay club Pulse by patrons

Omar Mateen lived a double life and was no stranger to Pulse, the gay Orlando nightclub where he killed 49 people Sunday morning, according to patrons who recognized him as a regular.

Mateen?s family said his bloody rampage was sparked by anti-gay hatred.

But the killer, who had a wife Noor Salman and a child, had visited the gay-friendly hangout several times over the past three years and was active on gay hook-up sites like Grindr.

One couple, who work together as drag-dancing performers, said they?d seen Mateen as many as a dozen times at Pulse.

Ty Smith and Chris Callen also said they?d seen him escorted drunk from Pulse more than once.

?I?ve seen him a couple of time at Pulse, a couple of other people that I?ve spoken with, including an-ex security guard, have actually witnessed this guy at Pulse many times before,? said Callen, who performs as Kristina McLauglin.

?One friend was a security guard there two years ago and she remembers him,? Callen told the Daily News.

He estimates Mateen began showing up about three years ago. Everybody was blown away to realize he was the man responsible for the slaughter.

?It?s shocking to everyone because we saw him there before,? said Callen.

He said one night Mateen got angry about a religious joke and pulled a knife on a friend. But it was nothing the friend couldn?t handle, Callen said.

The performer recalled his first words with Mateen three years ago.

?He was a nice guy,? he said of the shooter. ?He was at the bar. He was actually talking with another guy. I turned around. I was in drag. I said hello. He seemed comfortable,? Callen said.

?As I was onstage he was standing next to somebody, having a conversation, having a good time close to the stage. Later on that night ... he was out there dancing with another guy. It could be he just went crazy. Maybe he got radicalized and hated who he was,? Callen said.

Callen and his husband said they were headed to Pulse that night after celebrating Smith?s 40th birthday.
