Following is a summary of an Orlando WPTV article: 

A local television station WPTV noticed that Seddique Mateen, the father of the Pulse Nightclub shooter attended a Hillary Clinton rally in Kissimmee, Florida, being on camera seated directly behind her above her shoulder during her entire speech.

The television station caught up with Mateen after the rally and spoke with him briefly in the parking lot, and then later at a rest stop.

Mateen said, “Hillary Clinton is good for United States versus Donald Trump, who has no solutions.”

When he was asked about his decision to go to the event which was very close to the Pulse Nightclub, he said, “I spoke a lot about that and wish that my son joined the Army and fought ISIS.  That would be much better.”

When asked if Clinton knew he would be at at the event and sitting directly behind her, he said, “It’s a Democratic party, so everyone can join.”

Finally when he was asked if the thought if some people would be surprised to see him there, he said, “Why should they be surprised?  I love the United States, and I’ve been living here a long time.”

When the Clinton campaign was asked about his attendance, it responded in a tweet, “The rally was a 3,000-person, open-door event for the public.  This individual wasn’t invited as a guest and the campaign was unaware of his attendance until after the event.”

A report by the EU’s asylum office said that Afghan parents are sending their children to Europe in large numbers in the hopes they will be granted asylum and then seek reunification with the rest of the families.  The report says that last year over 96,000 unaccompanied minors applied for asylum in the EU, which is four times as many as the previous year, and with the majority coming from Afghanistan.

Ward Lutin of the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) said the numbers coming from Afghanistan are “huge.”  He said, “Families send out their children, strategically, hoping that they will manage to get a status in Europe, and then use them as anchor children and be reunited with them.”

European countries have also been having many problems with adult migrants lying about being minors in order to take advantage of more lenient rules.  Problems arising from this include an incident where a 20 year old man in student accommodations raped a 13 year old girl.

Daham al-Hasan, a Syrian migrant who has claimed he is too sick to work or learn the language of his host country had tried to relocate from Denmark to Sweden in order to gain additional welfare support for his three wives and 20 children, however he then learned that conservatives had pushed Sweden to change their policy about supporting polygamous marriages.  He was seeking $150 per month per child, adding up to $60,000 per year in child support along with many other benefits including payments for disabilities of “having pain in his back and legs” that exempt him from working.

The above was summarized from a MadWorldNews article.   Also see a translated Fria Tider article. 

Following is summarized from this Reuters news article:

A suicide bomber at a hospital in the city of Quetta, Pakistan killed more than 70 people and wounded over 100, attacking mourners who gathered for a lawyer who had been shot and killed earlier in the day.  The victims of the bombing were mostly lawyers and journalists.

“There are many wounded, so the death toll could rise,” said Rehmat Saleh Baloch, the provincial health minister.

Bodies lay strewn across a hospital courtyard shortly after the blast and pools of blood collected as emergency rescuers rushed to identify survivors.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.  If true, it would mark a frightening development for Pakistan which until now has only been plagued with locally based Islamist military violence.

The shooting victim, Bilal Anwar Kasi, was killed while on his way to the city’s main court complex, a senior police official Nadeem Shah told Reuters.  He was the president of Baluchistan Bar Association.

A 17 year old Eritrean migrant has been sentenced to only 30 hours of community service after violently sexually assaulting an 18 year old women in a parking garage in Bad Oldeslope, Germany in January.

Police on patrol had heard the woman’s cries of distress, finding the migrant attempting to rape the woman.  They had to physically tear the man away from the woman, who he was holding her down while trying to rape her.  The migrant then fought the police officers, injuring one of them requiring his hospitalization.

The woman’s face and neck were covered with bite wounds, and she was also under medical supervision.

On Thursday, after a two-hour hearing behind closed doors, the court let the migrant go free with only 30 hours of community service for the charges of assault, sexual assault, and resisting arrest.  Since the migrant also had consumed alcohol before the attack, he is required to take classes in alcohol awareness.

Professor Monika Frommel, the director of the Institute for Sanctions Law and Criminology at the University of Kiel said, “lack of prospects, lack of recognition and lack of access to sex” drives migrants to sexually assault women.  To counter this, she argues, the country must improve opportunities for young migrant men.

A May, 2016 article details Swedish police issuing a report blaming Scandinavian teenage girls’ “Nordic alcohol culture” and Western behavior for the steep increase in sex attacks carried out by migrants.

The report, entitled “The Current Situation of Sexual Molestation and Proposals for Action” examines why Sweden has the worst rates of physical and sexual violence against women and girls in Europe, and it excuses the migrants saying “they cannot handle the alcohol,” they simply feel “horny” and have “ignorance of the consequences for the girls.”

The report also says that the migrants call the girls “whores” and abuse them for “their clothes” which makes many of them frightened to walk on the streets, and it also reveals that the majority of sex attack victims are under the age of 15.

The report also states: “Control is exercised over women through violence, thus shaping her according to the man’s idealized vision of femininity. … During the exercise of violence, men can embody a typical ‘male’. … In other words, the violence makes possible what is considered masculine and can provide ‘benefits’ for the perpetrator,”  and then it goes on to state “The conclusion is that the roles are a consequence of Nordic alcohol culture, but also of non-traditional gender roles.”

The report comes after it emerged that gangs of migrants molested women in Malmö, Karlstad and Kalmar in Sweden on New Year’s Eve.
