ORLANDO, Fla. – Marcus Dwayne Robertson, the Islamic imam who preaches intolerance toward homosexuals, denied that the Orlando nightclub shooter, Omar Mateen, was a student of his online Muslim academy, during a Tuesday night interview broadcast by Fox News.
"Our heart goes out to the victims and we didn't ever train this guy. Never met him. He is not a student of ours," Robertson, who goes by Abu Taubah at his Timbuktu seminary in Orlando, Florida, told Fox interviewer Greta van Susteren. He told her that media reports of a connection had drawn death threats.
