Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Oklahoma beheader asks that a Muslim be named as his court-appointed lawyer

Oct 1, 2014 7:19 pm By Robert Spencer

oklahoma-workplace-beheadingFrom the looks of his booking photograph, the “recent convert” beheader Jah’Keem Yisrael has been a Muslim long enough to develop an impressive zebibah. And while the facilitators of mainstream media obfuscation are claiming that it was a simple case of workplace violence and pointing to Yisrael’s Christian-themed tattoos (when did he get them?) as evidence that he was not a doctrinaire Muslim, he asked for a Muslim to serve as his attorney. But all those who commit workplace violence do that, don’t they?

“Oklahoma beheading suspect transferred to jail; victim’s friend remembers she was ‘loved and liked by everyone,'” by Nina Golgowski, New York Daily News, October 1, 2014 (thanks to Steve):

An Oklahoma man accused of barbarically beheading a co-worker before attempting to kill another has been released from a hospital and transferred to jail where he’s being held without bail.

Alton Nolen, the 30-year-old Islamic convert charged with first-degree murder, is accused of maniacally decapitating 54-year-old grandmother Colleen Hufford, then attacking another employee at Vaughan Foods in Moore on Thursday.

He was released from a local hospital Wednesday after being treated for a bullet wound — inflicted by a gun-packing plant manager — and booked into the county jail around midday.

Colleen Hufford Memorial Fund The 30-year-old is accused of beheading 54-year-old grandmother Colleen Hufford, pictured, who worked with him at Vaughan Foods in Moore, Okla.

In his first court appearance, Nolen requested a Muslim to be named as his court-appointed lawyer.

Nolen’s transfer came as Hufford’s grieving relatives made their first public comments on the attack, saying in a statement that her violent death was difficult to comprehend but that they’re thankful for the support from friends and family.

Nolen is described as an Islamic convert who had a Facebook page under the name Jah’Keem Yisrael. The page has a picture of armed jihadis as the cover picture and numerous shots of other Islamist fighters.

      He will get a court appointed lawyer unless his Imam and mosque ponies up. Hope it is a female attorney as well.

      Zebibah.
      Satan must be laughing his red ass off.
      Shouldn’t the natural pose for praying to the heavens be looking skyward? Nobody wonders why these idiots pray to “God” with their heads facing the underworld, and their butts mooning the heavens?

    He should have asked for a muslim judge and to be judged under sharia law. Any muslim lawyer who defends him under US law is risking his neck – literally, not figuratively.

    A loud Bronx cheer to them. Had some clown run amuck claiming he was “killing a commie for Christ”, I’m scream about “Christian terrorism”, and calling for an ever higher wall of separation between church and state (but not mosque and state), no matter how many fundamentalist ministers quoted book, chapter and verse against the killer.

    Last time I knew anything about it in the U.S., the taxpayer-funded Public Defender system does not entitle an indigent criminal defendant to his taxpayer-paid choice of defense attorney (in a stretched-thin system already) on the basis of religion. I don’t believe a Christian or Jewish defendant can ask (and be granted) not to have a Muslim P.D., or ask (and be granted) to have a Christian or Jewish P.D. If this murdering Muslim’s request as to a Muslim court-appointed P.D. is granted it will be more creeping Sharia.

    The court in Oklahoma should grow a pair (testicles or ovaries) and deny this firmly. Also we can expect the PC MC MSM not to bother reporting the import of this murdering Muslim asking to be represented by one of his own people, a fellow Muslim.

    If he has the money (or CAIR etc. or the mosque) gives it to him to hire privately an attorney, of course he can choose a Muslim. Perhaps the request of the P.D. is a set up to CAIR and the Muslim PR machine having a reason to play the victim card (oh we just don’t understand their hurt widdle Islamic feelings when they proselytize us at work and we don’t embrace their murderous Muslim religion) and claim they need to hire defense attorneys for their murderous widdle Muslims — actually lone-wolf jihadists hanging out at mosques after being incited by IS (as related to Salafi Muslim conquest globally) to behead non-Muslim Americans.

    Would this murderous Muslim choose a Muslim attorney who’d try to explain to an Oklahoma jury that under the Quran a beheading of an infidel non-Muslim is a valid theocratic objective? I think not. Reality is that the prosecutor and defense attorney, especially if he’s high-powered and privately hired and capable of having time and funds to run rings about the overworked government-salaried prosecutor, will work a deal and this murdering Muslim will plead out to a lesser included offense and do relatively little time after he pretends to reform and the PC MC parole board lets him out.

    May we always remember the extreme suffering of Colleen Hufford at this murdering Muslim’s hand, and send wishes for strength and healing of the grief of her friends and family.

  7. SallyA says

    Oct 1, 2014 at 8:15 pm

    Maybe my painting of the likely reality of a plea deal for this murdering Muslim is wrong. Internet says the prosecutor will request the death penalty after consulting with beheading victim Colleen Hufford’s family. But Oklahoma’s death penalty tends to be mired, apparently, in a great deal of costly legal wrangling and that alone can tend to drive plea deals with potential for early release of criminals. (I used to work in the system, and it wasn’t always ideal at all.)

    • Jen says

      Oct 1, 2014 at 10:36 pm

      I think the most his defense would be hoping for, realistically, would be to get him off the death penalty. Although they may propose otherwise because they want to be seen to be doing the best by their client, I do not think honestly, that they would be expecting him to receive anything less than life in prison.

      I’m glad he has asked for a Muslim lawyer though. It helps to draw media attention to the special demands that Muslims keep making to be treated differently to non-Muslims. Thankfully, this is not Sharia so any Muslim lawyer he might get would be forced to work within the framework of American jurisprudence and will not really be able to form a good argument which mitigates his responsibility. They’ll just clutch at straws.

    In this day and age it’s important for all infidels to be able to spot a zebibah (prayer bump), we were always wondering how to spot a Muslim, how to tell good ones from bad ones, well there you are.

    If you spot a zebibah, you know they are Muslim & take their Islam seriously. Bad apples all of them.

    A truly evil human. Islam made him that way. And he’s too stupid to know that. His IQ is probably about 10 – that’s how Islam likes ’em – dumb, pliant, and willing to kill.

    A zebibah (Arabic زبيبة zabība, “raisin”), also known as a zabiba or zebiba, is a mark on the forehead of some Muslims, apparently due to the friction generated by repeated contact of the forehead with the prayer mat during daily prayers.

    Islam requires its adherents to pray five times a day (known as salat), which involves kneeling on a prayer mat and touching the ground with one’s forehead. When done vigorously for extended periods of time, a prayer bump may develop. Some Muslims may consider the presence of a prayer bump to be a sign of religious dedication and piety.[1] Some Muslims also believe that on the day of judgment, this bump will particularly fluoresce an immense white light.[2] The bump also serves as a public demonstration of one’s piety.

    In extreme cases, the callus can be thick enough to create a real bump that protrudes from the forehead. They may also develop due to frequent prayer on hard surfaces such as stone floors.

    Is it possible for Nolen if convicted to be held at Guantanamo for life without parole? It seems that jihadis thrive on martyrdom. The oblivion of Guantanamo for the rest of his life seems appropriate and not cruel and unusual.

    If a muslim attorney is appointed defense counsel it should be with the understanding that counsel cannot be dismissed by the defendant except for purely forensic reasons and not because the counsel isn’t sufficiently muslim or tall enough or old enough. What Mr. Nolen needs right now is a very good lawyer Methodist, Eskimo, left-handed or otherwise.
    Wiccan.

    Now there, Islamically speaking, is a good Muslim. One who has fulfilled his contract with Allah.

    Just as a “good” hit man does the work he was contracted to do, so did Nolan.

    Just another one of Allah’s hired-guns, so to speak, as the Qur’an clearly bears out, those who fulfill their contract with Allah are; just skimming off the top of the topic, noted here, from Tafsir ibn Kathir:

    Allah states that He has compensated His believing servants for their lives and wealth….Shimr bin ‘Atiyyah said, “ There is not a Muslim but has on his neck a sale that he must conduct with Allah; he either fulfills its terms or dies without doing that.” He then recited this Ayah. This is why those who fight in the cause of Allah are said to have conducted the sale with Allah, meaning, accepted and fulfilled his covenant. Allah’s statement, “They fight in Allah’s cause, so they kill and are killed.” (9: 111. P. 520.)

    “Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success.” (ibid, P. 522.)

    (TAFSIR IBN KATHIR [ABRIDGED], ABRIDGED BY A GROUP OF SCHOLARS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF SHAYKH SAFIUR-RAHMAN AL-MUBARAKPURI, DARUSSALAM, Riyadh, Second Edition, 2003, Vol. 4, Surah 9:111, 112.)

    Much more from the “sacred texts” one could add to this, but to be brief, Mujahid Nolan, enjoying the protection our “freedoms” provide for him, fulfilled his contract with Allah.

    “An Oklahoma man accused of barbarically beheading a co-worker..”

    Barbarically? why? he was only emulating his prophet!
    Does this mean that Muhammad the prophet of Islam was…barbarous? brutal? vicious? cruel? wicked? ruthless? inhuman? savage?

    Indeed, he was.

    Remember: “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man”

    Spencer, I object to the increasingly frequent appearance of uncommon Arabic/Islamic words without translation to English. What is the “zebidah” mentioned in the first paragraph? An internet search reports it only as the name of a person. Another new word in today’s newsletter articles is “dahwah.” Your newsletters are getting to be as bad as the English language web sites that supposedly translate the Koran into English but still leave many terms in untranslated Arabic.

    • Angemon says

      Oct 2, 2014 at 7:58 am

      Zebibah (not zebidah, as you wrote) is a prayer bump. Dawah (not dahwah, as you wrote) is islamic proselytizing.

    • That's why we are here, to learn says

      Oct 2, 2014 at 9:06 am

      Learning can be fun and interactive, so don’t be too disappointed. This quest to understand the nature of the prayed bump, put you on a virtual journey into another culture, which is the point of all this. To open your mind to new ideas, I think it’s exciting. I’ve been studying Islam since Al Gore told us to read the Quran as proof of Islam’s peaceful nature back in 2003, I believe it was. I’ve learned a lot, I’ve learned that I wasn’t studying the peaceful nature of Islam, I was coming to know our enemy.

      I had seen this swelling on Muslims over the years, but didn’t put it together until recently. Just goes to show you how foreign, and alien this culture is. I think you’ll see that you are going to have to be an active participant in this, but I also think your idea has merit, though. Robert did blog the Quran, it might also be possible to blog cultural terms and phrases too.

      Mac,

      I agree that it would be cool for Robert to put together a sort of Islamic cultural compendium, but to go about writing and linking cultural contexts to that degree is impractical.

      Why object though, Roberts goal was served in your quest for knowledge, I would be purposefully obtuse if this quest of yours was the byproduct of seeing words and phrases people don’t understand. Think about how awesome that is, didn’t you find the quest exciting and fulfilling?

      Mac nothing to never mind about any of your comments, people are here to learn, I don’t thing Angemon was bring insulting, just tying to help others understand. Personally I think a lot of people, learned a lot from your post.

    We don’t have the death penalty here in the UK.
    The predicament is humanity versus islam.
    In 2014 muslims will accept all manner of justice in the way of honour killings, beheadings, slavery, religious/ethnic cleansing and the exclusion of non-muslims (screw you ‘moderate’ muslims).
    These people who constitute a sizeable part of this planet’s population have nothing, I repeat nothing better to do other than leech on the progress of the NON-ISLAMIC world.

    A Mahoundian lawyer would be interesting. Saving his jihadi client from the DP is actually working in opposition to his clients best interests, which is now to be martyred for Allah, at the hands of the enemy, guaranteeing a ticket to Paradise and waiting virgins, not to mention those, ‘boys pure as pearls’…

  18. Jack Gordon says

    Oct 2, 2014 at 3:33 pm

    Give him what he wants! If his Mohammedan lawyer does as well in court as most Mo’s do in just about every other field of intellectual endeavor, Nolen will be facing a firing squad (take your hat off to Oklahoma for not sanitizing this mind-concentrating process) in a few months.

    Specifically, how is a mosque a threat to the community within which it is built?
    Every single mosque in the world, by definition, is modeled on the mosque of Muhammad in Medina in accordance with the Sunnah. The Sunnah interprets the Qur’an by reporting exhaustively on everything that Muhammad said, did, or consented to. Therefore, his Medina mosque, the first mosque, was a place where he gave judgments, where he decided who would be executed, where he instituted policy—domestic and military— where Jihad war strategies were designed. Consequently, it was a storage place for arms, a military training base, and was where troops were blessed and dispatched. Literally they were sent to conquer – first the whole of Arabia, and then the rest of the known world. Therefore if the present-day mosque is modeled as per the Sunnah of Muhammad then there should be very serious concern. As is well-known, Muslims are required to follow the example (Sunnah) of Muhammad—and according to Sura 33:36 it is not an option or a matter of opinion: “It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.” This explains and establishes beyond doubt why arms have been found in mosques in various countries, and in different capital cities.
    -Sam Solomon, former professor of Sharia Law
