==Other information==

*As a child, Mateen idolized [[Osama bin Laden]] and cheered in support of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. There is even one incident where he claimed that bin Laden was his uncle (this was, of course, untrue.)

*There are multiple documented incidents of Mateen bullying classmates in elementary, middle, ''and'' high school.

*He reportedly began bringing a gun to college classes in the wake of the Virginia Tech Shooting.

*He was reportedly physically and verbally abusive towards his first wife, Sitora Alisherzoda Yusufiy.

*Though he was never formally diagnosed, his first wife believed that he was bipolar and also reported that he had been addicted to steroids for a period of time.

*Some believe that Mateen may have been a closeted homosexual or bisexual, and that a secondary motive for the shooting may have been out of self-hate. This has never been proven and is merely speculation. Though Mateen had shown signs of [[homophobia]], It has been confirmed that he did not pick Pulse for the shooting because of its clientele, and that his sole motivation for the attack was simply on behalf of ISIS.

*Prior to pledging allegiance to ISIS, Mateen claimed to be a member of [[Hezbollah]].

*He had originally considered Walt Disney World Resort to perpetrate the shooting before settling on Pulse.
