Oklahoma Muslim Convert Goes 'Postal', Beheads Woman
2014-09-26
FBI officials are reportedly investigating a beheading at an Oklahoma food distribution center after co-workers said the suspect tried to convert them to Islam after his recent conversion.
Beheading...Islam - yes, worth investigating a connection.
The alleged suspect, Alton Nolen, 30, was recently fired from Vaughn Foods in Moore prior to ThursdayÂ’s attack. Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis told KFOR that Nolen drove to the front of the business and struck a vehicle before walking inside. He then attacked Colleen Hufford, 54, stabbing her several times before severing her head. He also stabbed another woman at the plant, 43-year-old Traci Johnson.

Lewis said Mark Vaughn, the companyÂ’s chief operating officer and a reserve county deputy, shot Nolen as he was stabbing Johnson, who remains hospitalized in stable condition Friday.
Fortunately this was not one of those 'no guns allowed' workplaces.

#30  I'm really glad he will survive. His story will be forced out on the MSM. They will have no choice but to admit is was Radical Islam, yet again.

#28  From the AP feed in the Seattle Times: "...A law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told the AP that while there was indication that Nolen was a Muslim convert and was trying to convert others to Islam, there is so far no connection to terrorism..."
Also no mention of race of either the perp or the victims.
'Indication;' Yeah sort of like, " Captain Smith, is that really an iceberg?"

10 to 1 the islamic conversion happened while the felon was in prison.


Maybe, but not the most recent stint. According to a USA Today story, the Oklahoma department of corrections says: "Nolen had the words "as-salaamu alaikum," Arabic for "peace be with you," tattooed on his abdomen according to Corrections Department records". That was in 2010.

Now, did the DoC record a tattoo he got while in prison, or did he have it before going in?

In any case, he's not a "recent convert" as some stories are saying.

#22  All the MSM had to do was go to the guy's Facebook page to see all the nice things he had to say about terrorists, and the not-so-nice things about the kuffir. Nope....nothing to see there.

#9  The web piece at KFOR.com, there local news outlet, does mention the fact that the man tried to convert others to Islam. No pics but it's early, give the news hounds a chance.

#8  You win the bet. MSN just ran the story minus the words 'black' and 'convert to islam'. No picture of the 'alleged suspect' either.

#6   Count on the MSM and NPR to black this out for fear of their audience's heads exploding in unison from unresolvable cognitive dissonance. Posted by no mo uro

Yes a very definite pattern. The very same MSM cognitive dissonance response found in nearly all Chicago south-side or Atlanta crime.

#5  Gun control would not have prevented this beheading. Gun control pushed by the idiot liberals would have resulted more beheadings because the citizen who stopped the savage would not have been able to stop the savagery.

#4  A black man, from the religion of peace, beheads a Christian, tries to behead more of them, and is stopped by a white guy with a gun who is a private citizen.

If you could design an event that explodes the entire leftist narrative of the past fifteen years, it would look like this. Count on the MSM and NPR to black this out for fear of their audience's heads exploding in unison from unresolvable cognitive dissonance.
