The Federal Bureau of Investigations released the transcript of the 911 call made by Omar Mateen during his attack on the Orlando nightclub Pulse, retracting the parts where Mateen appeared to pledge allegiance to ISIS.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch first announced that the released transcript would be missing certain pronouncements on Sunday. “What we’re not going to do is further proclaim this man’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda,” she told NBC’s Chuck Todd. “We will hear him talk about some of those things, but we are not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance…”
Mateen: Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic]. I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.
Operator: What’s your name?
Mateen: My name is I pledge of allegiance to [omitted].
Operator: : Ok, What’s your name?
Mateen: I pledge allegiance to [omitted] may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of [omitted].
Previous press reports indicated that Mateen called 911 to proclaim allegiance to ISIS and the leader of ISIS, meaning they are likely the “[omitted]” phrases.

Authorities also defended the decision, saying it was meant to avoid lending credence to terrorist leaders. "We're not going to propagate their rhetoric, their violent rhetoric," FBI Special Agent Ron Hopper said.
YOU were the one that was questioning whether the shooter had really said those things. Obama played right into the hands of people like you. YOU wanted the transcript, and when it was released, it still didn't sway your paranoia.
Liberals...seriously, could you BE more hypocritical?????

Bullschitt. They did this to protect Muslims and our Muslim terrorist loving president...
The FBI has released complete transcripts of Orlando gunman Omar Mateen's call to 911 shortly after he opened fire inside Pulse nightclub
In the 50-second call he claimed responsibility for his attack that left 49 people dead and 53 injured
Mateen also 'made murderous statements in a chilling, calm and deliberate manner' according to FBI Special Agent Ronald Hopper
The FBI initially redacted references to Islam, 9/11 and any other groups that Mateen pledged an allegiance to during the attack
References to 'Allah' were replaced with 'God' throughout
Republicans hit out at DoJ's decision to redact the Orlando shooter's conversation - citing it as another example 'of not focusing on the evil here'
Hours later Justice Dept. and the FBI released joint statement including the complete transcript 'to provide the highest level of transparency
Reasons for earlier redactions were 'to remain sensitive to interests of surviving victims' and 'not to give publicity platform to hateful propaganda'

Good job! You gave a mass murdering terrorist an uncensored platform to spread his perverted ideological message of hate. This is no different than the media refusing to play ISIS beheadings. Why play into the enemy's hands and spread his propaganda for him?
I grew up in a time where Vietnam vets were shunned and treated horribly and called murderers because of news reports from the "police action".
And they were trying to STOP the atrocities of that country on its own people.
But now, the atrocities that are being carried out in the name of Islam are being hid so as not to "give them a stage".
BULL FLIPPIN CRAP!!!
You make it known what the animals are doing.
Shame them.
Shun them.
Don't let the murderous mold grow in the dark.
You shine a light on it.
You show them we see it.
Won't stand for it.
And stop letting them cower in their headcoverings.
You have to kill the snakes.

Groups that use terrorism are weak and small, by definition. Terrorism is so attractive for these groups because it costs almost nothing and the pay offs can be huge: in Al Qaida's case a trillion-dollar global media industry working for them. Sure, it hasn't gotten them everything they want, but being appointed the leaders of the Ummah by America was a big promotion for a bunch of losers hiding in a cave.
Terrorism has a built in positive feedback loop. The more atrocities pay off in media attention the more appealing they become. There is also a tendency to escalation, as viewers get bored of the same old thing and other terrorist groups compete for status - consider how ISIS displaced Al Qaida with its slicker production values, social media nous, and even more exciting atrocities.
All terrorism is theater, dependent on the collaboration of its audience for its effect.
Not only did the redact parts...they actually CHANGED words.
You Apple are the reason they had to release the call. You refused to believe what they said he said on the call. Maybe if yu weren't such a good Muslim sympathizer and apologist, he wouldnt get the attention you demanded...

Right, you'll show them by giving them exactly what they want. Look up the word terrorist.
Terrorist thrive on creating fear.
But the unknown is what people fear.
It isn't "giving them a platform".
It's exposing the truth.
You can live in your bubble of denial if you want.
You know who else liked keeping the truth hidden?
Hitler
Stalin
Mussolini
Just to name a few.

So we should never acknowledge what is happening in the name of Islam?
Pretend it isn't there, ignore it, and it will go away?

Of course it has to be dealt with BUT... what do terrorists want Lily?
Attention and to invoke fear, its what fuels them. They love to see you running around in fear making all sorts of proclamations against them. DO you understand that?
Clearly you don't understand what it is that terrorists thrive on.
Graphic videos of beheadings filmed by Islamic State and released on the internet have turned the group into a globally feared brand. But they have also prompted anguished questions about how much such organisations should be given “the oxygen of publicity”.
Terrorist organisations receive extensive media attention, whether it is the Taliban, al-Qaida, Boko Haram or, recently, Isis, terrorism is everywhere on TV stations, newspapers and the radio. We also know that terrorists need media coverage to spread their message, create fear and recruit followers.

I have no reason to read anything you say.

Willful ignorance is bliss, huh? Or maybe not so willful...

Who is making proclamations?
I think the evil should be exposed.
It shouldn't be kept from the spotlight.
You put a magnifying glass over it and let knowledge burn it away.
Again, other evils have kept the truth from the publc.
That's how entire populations were almost wiped out.

I don't think she WANTS it to go away...
That is fairly idiotic to say, put down the JD's and take a nap or something, jeeze.
I think she's right, Apple.

It doesn't scare me.
It makes me angry.
And when enough people get angry, they'll fight back.

Whether there is an actual link to Isis or not, Isis will gladly take the free press.
So why keep on giving the terrorists exactly what they want? Honestly, you just don't seem to get it.
The FBI overestimated your lack of intelligence in these matters.
This right here. You will deny it until they are in your house chopping your head off.

So when someone doesn't agree with you, you accuse them of being drunk and angry.
Once you start that, you've lost the argument.
