How Did the Orlando Muslim Terrorist’s Father Get Into U.S.?
But, being a curious sort, I’m wondering how his father, Seddique Mir Mateen, got to the United States from Afghanistan so the terrorist could be born an anchor baby in New York in 1987.
The elder Mateen is reminiscent of Clock Boy’s dad, who was constantly running for president of Sudan while managing a chauffeur business in Texas. Seddique Mir Mateen, a Florida resident, recently announced on TV his candidacy for president of Afghanistan. Early accounts of his YouTube speeches make him sound megalomaniacal. But on the other hand, some of his political accusations, such as that the real bad guys in the region are Pakistan’s ISI, strike me as not wholly delusional. I can’t tell yet whether he was always a complete loon or if at one point he might have seemed to somebody in Washington as the kind of potential Afghan politician it might be handy to have on ice in the U.S. in case of regime change in Kabul, the way lots of members of the Karzai family (that provided the new U.S. backed president of Afghanistan after 9/11) were running restaurants in the U.S. before 9/11.
