In the past, ISIS supporters have used the hashtag #ParisIsBurning and #BrusselsIsBurning to show support for the organization's acts of terror. Now, they have begun using the hashtag #OrlandoIsBurning, although it remains unclear if ISIS actually took part in the planning of the massacre.
As RadarOnline.com reported, the shooting was carried out by 29-year-old Florida resident Omar Mateen. Although authorities have stated that there are suggestions that Mateen may have ties to Islamic extremist group's the gunman's father insists that the shooting had nothing to do with religion.
