The gunman’s ex-wife, Sitora Yusifiy, said that he beat her repeatedly during their brief marriage and that, though Muslim, he was not very religious and gave no indication that he was devoted to radical Islam. “He was not a stable person,” she told The Post. “He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn’t finished or something like that.” (Adam Goldman, Joby Warrick and Max Bearak have more on the shooter.)
One friend told The Post that Mateen became steadily more religious after his 2011 divorce and went on a religious pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. For several years, Mateen regularly attended the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce and was there as recently as two days ago, said Imam Shafiq Rahman.
