On Thursday September 25, thirty-year old Alton Alexander Nolen stormed into a food distribution warehouse in Moore Oklahoma killing the first person he saw, 54-year old grandmother Colleen Hufford, beheading her with a produce knife. He then went on to attack a second co-worker 43-year old Traci Johnson, stabbing her with the same knife until chief operating officer of Vaughan foods and also an Oklahoma country reserve deputy by the name of Mark Vaughan shot and stopped Nolan. Traci is now in stable condition at a nearby hospital for treatment of “numerous wounds” according to police. Initially the attack was described as a work place dispute. Alton Nolan, who may I add has been arrested before, had recently gotten fired from his job that day. Some people believe his actions were due to the fact of him being angry because he got fired. Others, including myself believe there was more to the story. Law enforcement officials said, Mr.  Nolan recently converted to Islam and was trying to get his co-workers to join the Muslim religion as well. On a facebook page that appears to be his, references to Islam began in April 2013, and he called himself Jah’Keem Yisrael. The page is filled with criticism of American culture, and dire warnings for those who do not follow that religion. “This is the last days,” he wrote in his most recent post on Tuesday. In another, in July, he wrote “AMERICA AND ISREAL ARE WICKED. WAKE U MUSLIMS!!!” This of course raises the question as to whether or not this action was terrorist related.

Beheadings are the new norm in America and the Muslims know it. They beheaded a person and there was no outrage, there was no spiritual resistance from the body of Christ. In my opinion there will be many more beheadings to come. I recently went on to www.military.com and watched a priest and another Christian getting totally beheaded by Syrian Rebels. It literally blows my mind how one, I was able to view this 10 minute video on this website without having any problems of it being censored or anything and two, how completely messed up and insane some people are. This was the most hideous and barbaric scene I have ever watched. These terrorists have no regard for human life; I just don’t get how savage and inhumane people can be. How can a human being be this cold hearted to another human being like himself? These are not men, they are monsters. They behead innocent children men and women because of their faith. They cause horrific pain by beheading them with small knives and the fact that after they commit this terrible crime they are proud of what they accomplished, it’s sickening. I also don’t understand why military.com is showing this on their website. This is exactly what they want, they want these videos posted in American and were doing what they ask. I think its disgraceful and degrading to put this on that website or any website for that matter. Somehow they should be blocked. Think of the families that know this is out there. It’s so tragic to let everyone view it, even kids (including myself) are viewing it and some are even commenting  jokes about it. If I could unsee things it would definitely be that video.
