Oh please! Why are you singling out Islam for this/ Did you not hear the disgustingly violent thing that "Christian" pastor in Sacramento said in his Sunday sermon - you know, about lining all the homosexuals up against a wall and blowing their brains out?
And haven't you heard about all the violently anti-homosexual material in the Jewish Bible? Or the sometimes deadly attacks on homosexuals by religious Jews in Israel?
There is a lot of ugly anti-homosexual bigotry running pretty rampant in all the Abrahamic religions, so my single out Islam?
There is also a strong element of anti-homosexual bigotry (I don't care for terms like homophobia and Islamophobia) in Christianity and Judaism based on certain passages in the Bible. in fact, a number of "Christian" individuals actually applauded or otherwise justified the massacre in Orlando, and one preacher in Sacramento, CA made some very violent anti-homosexual statement in his sermon this last Sunday.
And then there are the sometimes-deadly attacks on homosexuals in Israel by religious Jews.
Mateen apparently claimed to be a member of Hezbollah (Shi`a group), Al Qa`eda (very anti-Shi`a Sunni group), Al Nusra (Sunni group fighting against Da`sh - aka ISIS - in Syria), and Da`sh (aka ISIS), a group that is ideologically so anti-Shi`a that one of its goals is to remove all traces of Shi`a Islam from the earth. Obviously he was not attracted to any of these groups because of their ideologies, or their identities, and likely knew nothing about them.
This behavior is consistent with that of a person suffering from paranoid delusions, as is other behavior of his.
Most likely he was suffering from psychotic delusions, not "Salafi jihadism".
Damon Brown, if he had known the difference between Sunni and Shi`a, he would not have both claimed to be a member of Hezbollah, and "pledged allegiance" to Da`sh. And if he had known anything about, let alone subscribed to the actual ideologies of the groups he claimed to support, he would have known that Da`sh is the greatest enemy to Shi`a Islam, and has as a goal to remove everything Shi`a from the earth.
So, it is quite reasonable to say that he did not know the difference between Sunni and Shi`a.

The guy's parents came to the US in the '80's when the US was using Afghan mujaheddin in its battle against the Soviet Union.

"How can Clinton claim that she is an honest broker..."
I haven't heard her make that claim. Have you? If so, she's either delusional or lying. Take your pick.
I don't think AIPAC members are capable of being embarrassed.
