And he did. This is the message he ultimately spread: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
“Oklahoma Beheading Suspect Wanted to Spread Message of Islam,” Associated Press, September 29, 2014:
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Alton Nolen told relatives after his release from prison on drug and assault charges last year that he wanted to focus on getting his life in order.
But postings on the Facebook page of the 30-year-old Nolen, suspected of beheading a woman at an Oklahoma food distribution center, suggest that shortly after his release in March 2013, he became more interested in spreading the message of his newfound Islamic faith.
“I spoke to him once he was released, and when we spoke, there was nothing of the sort,” said Nolen’s cousin, James Fulsom, 29, of Fort Worth, Texas. “I don’t believe he was converted (to Islam) in prison.”
Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn said he expects to charge Nolen on Tuesday with first-degree murder in Thursday’s killing of 54-year-old Colleen Hufford at the Vaughan Foods plant in Moore, an Oklahoma City suburb.
Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said Nolen, who had just been fired from the company, walked into the facility’s administrative office and attacked Hufford with a large knife, eventually severing her head. Nolen then repeatedly stabbed 43-year-old Traci Johnson before he was shot by Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff’s deputy and the company’s chief operating officer, police said.
Nolen’s mother and sister posted a video message on Facebook over the weekend saying they were shocked and saddened by the allegations against him.
“My son was raised up in a loving home. My son was raised up believing in God,” hi [sic] mother, Joyce Nolen, said in the video. “Our hearts bleed right now because of what they’re saying Alton has done.”
Nolen was brought up attending a non-denominational Christian church in the southeast Oklahoma community of Idabel, and several members of his family were upset about his recent conversion to Islam, Fulsom said.
But as recently as February, Fulsom told The Associated Press when he talked to Nolen there was no mention of his conversion.
“He was just talking about what he was going to start doing, how he was going to get his life on track, and was ready to be focused on his future.”…
A spokesman for an Oklahoma City Islamic group said Nolen had attended services at a mosque where sermons were delivered condemning such attacks….

Im glad the beheaders family is speaking out against islam
I hope they keep promoting christian faith
Please someone let these black young men know about the history of arab muslims castrating their black slaves
Also black muslims dont get equal rights in saudi arabia
medina says
The beheader’s family is not speaking out against Islam. The sister of the jihadist went on Fox to assert that her brother was just “gaining more info about Islam” and hadn’t converted. The mother said there are 2 sides to the story. Where did you learn anything contrary to this?
Don McKellar says
Well, look at that — a happy note to this story! He was successful in his dream to spread the message of Islam! Every cloud has a silver lining.
Shane says
NO, he was not martyred while waging war on infidels so he will not go to paradise and get his reward of 72 virgins. How sad.
Don McKellar says
Oh, well. That’s the way it is with jihad: even when you win you lose.
Champ says
sudden jihad syndrome strikes again …
mortimer says
No…slow and deliberate and intentional and planned jihad…with murderous malicious aforethought.
Jay Boo says
Islamophobia?
CAIR list omits this from its reason list.

Chiefs player Husain Abdullah gets penalized after kneeling in Muslim prayer

What is the difference between Husain Abdullah’s Islam and, say, the Islam of IS?
Anybody?
We, the suicidal West, have allowed this–and it is only going to get worse, much worse.
Islam: where freedom ends and slavery begins.
Robert the warrior says
ISIS is simply a movement within Islam which adheres to the letter of the law of the Koran which states that all those who do not bow the knee to Mohamed as the only authoritative prophet should be “struck down”. Having worked among Muslims for some 44+ years as missionaries, I know that those who have the freedom to do so, as in Muslim States, will do anything to prevent non-Muslims from spreading their own worldview.
Oliver says
Gee- the NFL did this; remember (I am not a football fan, and do not follow the game, at all) when the Denver QB, who, I believe is a Baptist, did the same– and ridicule after ridicule on AP/Yahoo news. And literally hundreds of comments criticizing him.
Yet zilch on the lame stream (internet, anyhow) news sites.
Wonder why.
And why did the NFL grow some testicles to do this? islamphobia or did he threaten to behead someone?
sidney penny says
“services at a mosque ”
why not the mosque?
why not name “a mosque”

Looking at that picture, shaving gel companies must be crapping themselves.

“Oklahoma beheader wanted to spread message of Islam after release from prison”
Well… he sure did that
Kephaq says
Again, the US prison system is a nationally-funded system of universities for crime and criminality–and it is a breeding ground for Islam, the religion which promotes criminal behavior.
And isn’t this a wonderful picture of how Islam gives “meaning and dignity” to the lives of downtrodden men of color? Do we not have an example of one of the Wretched of the Earth, in good, Fanon-esque style, reclaiming his “manhood” by the murder of one of the oppressors? [sarc] Jah’keem Yisrael seems to be simultaneously poster boy for one of the great progressive narratives of my lifetime and the death penalty. Yet I’m sure there will be some great coalition of the terminally indignant parading about and making him some sort of martyr.
Oliver says
Kephaq,
I am sure that you are referring to THE SOB SISTERS. These miserable creatures have been around for close to (if not more then) 100 years.
Erle Stanley Gardner ( creator of Perry Mason) mentions them in his books that predate Perry Mason ( books written in the early 1900-1930’s or so).
Look at what–with the media has done with the Boston Bomber–made him (with the Rollins Stone picture with his long shaggy hair) an idol and a “victim”; and his cohort/friend who was killed (in Orlando, FL or that area)-also a hero. No demonizing ( by anyone, the media, state attorney, etc) that piece of garbage; too busy demonizing Mr. Zimmerman, who was found not guilty., of, in self defense, killing a thug who was trying to kill him.
yes, he will be made a hero,
.
He pissed in his pants in kindergarten and some white girl made fun of him; or he was bullied once in the 2n grade; or he was picked last for a sports game in the 4th grade so had an inferiority complex towards whites. So, he killed the woman.
Sam says
Again only Islam news is here. Where is our media doing a great job of showing that “it is not Islam”?
mortimer says
“TURHIBUNNA” (‘terrorize them’) Koran 8.60.
That is the message of Islam.
Rob Crawford says
Sure would like the accurate English translations of the sermons where the imam spoke against the word of Mohammed. Along with dates they were given and videos showing the imam and the audience.
kash says
You know, as a Catholic missionary I would often try to come up with new and effective ways of evangelization. I’ve got to admit, beheading people never crossed my mind as an option.
eib says
He has spread the message of Islam. Violence is its heart.
Ger says
If the prophet of Islam was commanded by Allah to be harsh and strive against non Muslims (Quran 66:9) and strike their necks and fingertips (Quran 8:12) SHOULD JEWS AND CHRISTIANS BELIEVE IN ISLAM?
Proverbs 16:29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
A violent man especially when claiming to be a prophet from God should not be believed it is because the Bible says that man will lead him into the way that is not good.
It means the violent man is also a deceiver.
No wonder why lying is also permissible in Islam.
Taqqiya and Kitman are the terms of these lying the Muslims are doing:
Muslims are allowed to lie to unbelievers in order to defeat them. The two forms are:
Taqiyya – Saying something that isn’t true.
Kitman – Lying by omission. An example would be when Muslim apologists quote only a fragment of verse 5:32 (that if anyone kills “it shall be as if he had killed all mankind”) while neglecting to mention that the rest of the verse (and the next) mandate murder in undefined cases of “corruption” and “mischief.”
Peter says
Some spread the word by beheading, some do it on the football field. Either way, they are getting the message out that you better follow the path to/of submission. Islam will never stop. We can temporarily halt the progress by recognizing it for what it is instead of most folks doing the Ostrich thing( or is it the 3 monkeys thing, maybe both). More folks need to wake up to the reality of what Islam is and teaches. Jefferson and Churchill among other leaders knew and were not afraid to lead by example. Sempre fi, thanks to TJ.
Ralph says
Genesis 16: 7 The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur. 8 And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”
“I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered.
9 Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” 10 The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.”
11 The angel of the Lord also said to her:
“You are now pregnant
and you will give birth to a son.
You shall name him Ishmael,[a]
for the Lord has heard of your misery.
12 He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward[b] all his brothers.”
Their Destiny that they follow all the way to HELL.
