Although many reports are emerging which show that the Las Vegas terrorist, Stephen Pollack, was a recent convert to Islam; this is being shut down by the MSM.
Freerepublic reported this, as well as jihadwatch:
From jihadwatch.org
Initial reports: Las Vegas shooter “recent convert to Islam.” Now: “We have no idea what his belief system was.
Police take shooter’s female companion into custody after attack which left more than 50 dead, 100 wounded. 2 Police officers among dead.
The gunman responsible for a deadly shooting attack at a country music festival in Las Vegas has been identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, a resident of Mesquite, Nevada.
Police say Paddock had a criminal record, but no known ties to terrorism.
While initial reports claimed Paddock was a recent convert to Islam, Clark County Sherrif [sic] Joseph Lombardo said he had no knowledge of Paddock’s religious beliefs.
“As far as his history and his background, we haven’t completed that part of the investigation yet.”
“We have no idea what his belief system was.”
Authorities are now searching for the shooter’s companion, a 62-year-old woman identified as Marilou Danley, whom police have called “a person of interest”. KHOU-TV‘s Bill Bishop identified Danley as Paddock’s wife.
More than 50 people were killed when the gunman opened fire just before 10:30 p.m. local time Sunday night on the Route 91 Harvest Festival country music show at the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas. In addition, some 200 people were wounded in the attack….- source
I’ve read other reports stating that Paddock was a radical left wing Democrat. Only time will tell what prompted this madman to carry out this unthinkable massacre.
*****Update: ISIS has claimed responsibility for the massacre on Twitter.
A word from Amir Tsarfati on ISIS and their part in the Las Vegas massacre:
Pray for the families of the dead.
Pray for the wounded that they may recover.
Pray that many will come to Christ in the midst of this horrific terrorist attack.
COME LORD JESUS!
Now more calls for gun control. Question for those who favor more laws. Name one law that would have prevented this. It’s against law to shoot someone. I heard the shooting and this guy had a automatic weapon which is illegal in all fifty states. This guy was a convicted felon, illegal for him to buy or possess a gun. How many laws did this guy break in his commission of this crime? More laws? I don’t think so.
There is no law that would have prevented this horrific terrorist attack – not one.
I agree can we as Christians say that if those who died if they didn’t receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord they are in hell we should be able to take about heaven and hell right?
I’m sorry but I’m tried frustrated and my heart has been heavy today because of the shooting I’m sick of the news asking why did he do it it’s because we live in a fallen world and we are sinners we all sin even We who are saved by grace through faith alone in Christ alone in God alone and let’s not call it a false flag or hoax are you kidding me? This is spiritual warfare but a lot of people don’t see that. Here’s what the Word of God says. “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”

Also John 10:10 as well.
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

I’m ready to go home to heaven at the Rapture of the Church
Come Lord Jesus, Come! (maranatha)
God Bless You and let’s pray for those injured in today’s shooting that they come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Islamic/Leftist? Not sure yet. At this point it’s hearsay. It would not surprise me though.
What I can unequivocally state is; this is demonic at its core. Things like this I believe will happen with more intensity and frequency.
We as a nation have given the LORD the boot. First from school prayer to the present hostility toward God. The world at large is sinking deeper into the abyss of the enemy and his disillusionment.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 (NASB)
1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
This needs each of us, the Body, to do battle on our knees. The Lord of Host is our refuge and salvation. Only in Him shall there be peace.
Luke 21:25-28 (NASB)
25 “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,
26 men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 “Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory.
28 “But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Our Hope!
