We have been discussing the alarming and baffling migration of Muslim men and women from the West to join the blood-soaked Islamic State or ISIS forces as they behead and murder their way through captured territories. While the vast majority of Muslims are disgusted by ISIS, the chilling reality is that there is a large portion of people who do not just support but long to behead and torture other people. Oklahoma is facing precisely that reality in two cases involving Muslim men who appear to identify with ISIS and relish the concept of beheading people in the name of Islam. It is a fatal attraction that may explain the thousands flocking from the West to the ranks of the Islamic State.
In Oklahoma City, Jacob Mugambi Muriithi (left above), 30, is being held on a charge of a terrorism charge after he allegedly threatened to behead a co-worker. He was located less than 20 miles from where Alton Alexander Nolen (right above) who is accused of beheading a co-worker just the day before the threats were allegedly made.
Nolen had only recently converted to Islam in prison but immediately took to the aspects of the religion that he viewed as justifying murder and decapitations. Writing under the name “Jah’Keem Yisrael” on his Facebook page, he wrote various incendiary and bizarre messages:
“A Future Prophecy Revelation 18:8 She (The statue Of Liberty) is going into flames. She and anybody who’s with her.”
“AMERICA SO CALL HELPS IRAQ (WHICH NOT)- WELL WHY CANT U HELP THE GAZA CITIZENS AGAINST ISRAEL…AMERICA AND ISRAEL ARE WICKED. WAKE UP MUSLIMS!!!”
“I JST WANT TO SAY AS AN MUSLIM WE DNT CELEBRATE AMERIKAS HOLIDAYS.”
“KAFIR KAFIRS MEANS SOMEONES WHO DISAGREES WITH ISLAM. JST CAUSE YOU AS-SALAAMU ALAKIUN EVERY MORNING DNT MEANS YOUR AN MUSLIM THANK YOU THO.”
“Ima Tell You Off Top Im Not Your Friend My Friends Are At The Mosque All Around The World.”
“Im an Muslim from the Tribe of Judah who Was Pretty Much Raised In Killeen Texas. My Ancestors Who Are The True Jews Here In America Today Are Originally From Israel. They Were Bombed Outta Israel By The Roman Catholic Army So They Fled To Egypt And The Afrikans Sold Us To The White Man As Slaves Along With Any Other Black Person Here In Amerika Today Aka The True Jews From Israel. Our Ancestors Are Originally From Israel. Were Not from Afrika.”
“You know what gets me about Christians is that they blaspheme saying that Jesus (pbus Ameen) is God. If Jesus (pbuh Ameen) was God why when you claim he was on a cross he quoted Quote’ Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing? With this said he can’t be the Savior. All Praise To Allah,”
In one message, he declared “Islam Will Dominate the World. Freedom Can Go To Hell.”
He had been trying to convert people at his work and was telling co-workers about how women should be stoned for committing certain offenses. After he was fired, he returned and beheaded a female co-worker and stabbed another woman. After beheading Colleen Hufford, 54, and stabbing Traci Johnson’, 43, in the attack at Vaughan Foods store, he was shot and wounded by off-duty sheriff’s deputy and company CEO Mark Vaughan.
Nolen has a long previous criminal record including assault and battery on an officer, possession of a controlled substance, and escaping from detention.
Muriithi is identified as a native of Kenya who worked at Bellevue Nursing Home in northwest Oklahoma City. He also was trying to convert people and praised Islamic State for beheading Christians. He is quoted as saying that it “is just what we do.” He allegedly told the victim that he was going to cut her head off with “a blade” and said that, after cutting off her head, he would post it on Facebook. Islamic State fighters have been using social media to parade the heads of murdered captives.
Both Muriithi and Nolen are disturbing examples of the resource of disaffected, marginal, and unhinged individuals who swell the ranks of the Islamic State. For them, religion is an excuse to vent their anger and to kill in the name of faith. It is precisely the dehumanizing elements of the ISIS beliefs that attract them — to be able to treat women and other humans as undeserving of mercy or sympathy. Religion is the not the cause but the vehicle for their violent expression.
You’ve made my point. They use the title “Christian” though their goals are not Christian, in my view. Perhaps they are Radical Christians, as Radical Islams. You say they aren’t Islam, but they refer to themselves as Islam. There are so many different groups, so many names, but all consider themselves Muslim/Islam. I think we should end this discussion. I’m sure other readers are tired of us. Thank you for your information.
I’m not sure I understood your point and the conversation right now is between us I think so I think it’s okay. But its good with me.
happy panpipes, I added a comment saying I should have said radical Islam, which is the only way I can differentiate. However, I am constantly told by Muslims/Islamists they are a peaceful religion. I don’t see that. The man who beheaded the lady in CO had converted to Islam. So I conclude he is the one demonizing. I believe everyone should make their own choice of religion. If a Baptist started beheading I don’t think we would say radical Baptist. However, when these terrorists yell “Allah Akbar” I think he’s linking his actions to his religion.

Sandy – I understand that. But what about our own Christian people that aren’t Christian that claimed to be like Charles Manson. He Called himself Jesus Christ. He told them his name was Charles Will is Mans Son (Charles Willis Mans Son)
What about Jim Jones and his Tribe that drank Cyanide 880 people.
And seriously, What about Reverend John Hagee and his Christians United for Israel and his Undeclared War against Iran since 2006 along with Netanyahu to start the Second Coming in his unique interpretation of the Bible. He has quite a following in Washington you know. People like Tom Delay and Rick Santorum and the New Adam Joseph Lieberman.
What about them. Don’t you consider them dangerous because they scare me to death.
Happypappies, I should have described them as radical Islam. However, I think everyone knew what I was talking about.

Sandy – I did but whenever anyone talks about this beheading I think of barbarians and the pygmies of Central Africa and the shrunken heads. I have seen those pictures Sandy but surely you know the Japanese and the Natives and WW11 – Headhunting was practised by many Austronesian people in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. Headhunting has at one time or another existed among most of the peoples of Melanesia, including New Guinea. A missionary found 10,000 skulls on Goaribari Island in 1901 My point is that this is grisly and horrible but it is not new in war time.
“I am a Christian btw.
Happypappies,
I believe you made that statement because you thought it was an important point and I have no reason to doubt that you are. Add the fact you are here indicates you are a Christian blogger.
Interestingly, ISIS declares they’re Islamic and I have no reason to doubt that either. Add the fact they are beheading anyone that won’t convert to their Islamic beliefs and that makes them Islamic terrorists.
Thank you for making that point clear.

Sandi Hemming – anyone – race color or creed who beheads is a terrorist. Islam does not advocate beheading. That is a terrorist subcult like the LRA in Joseph Kony’s Army in Africa. Or Head Hunters of Old. You shouldn’t demonize a religion. I am a Christian btw.
Olly, I made the comment to Sandy because I don’t know her and I threw out a bunch of information and people on here tend to get paranoid.
I am not a Christian Blogger meaning that I haven’t written a blog. When and if I do I don’t know what it will be about but I will probably use Christian principles in it since I am a practicing Christian.
I might even find something humorous and write up a conspiracy theory or two just for fun.
I still don’t know how to do the smile function. Sorry.
delete her. no excuse should have edited before sending. 🙂
Bill, I agree totally!
Wow! Just read up on everyone’s comments. My view: he converted to Islam, he proselytizes for Islam, then beheads a women. Beheading is a punishment advocated by Islam. Anyone who thinks beheading isn’t terrorism is in denial. I don’t care what they call it, I worry about the nutcases crazy enough to copycat. I hope more people with permits to carry have their gun for everyone’s protection.

happypappies – I would agree with you in principle except that these people have take over a country, declared themselves a state and, given the current CinC we have, will probably succeed.
I do not often agree with Annie but her she is right, although I am not sure she is on board, that this is fundamentalism amok as a state. That will be a state we will have to deal with since they seem to be controlling a lot of oil.
Paul – on the State controlling a lot of oil – yes – it will be interesting to see how that plays out. Please don’t think me cruel as I wish the children rescued from this demonic man and his influence.
