Omar Mateen's father is a political commentator who was against Pakistan and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. He said the killing had nothing to do with religion, and he apologized for his son. "We weren't aware of any action he is taking. We are in shock like the whole country," he said. He said that his son had come across two men kissing in Miami recently and was very angry and disturbed that his 3 year old son had seen it.
