Muslims claim that criticism of Islam is racist, but Islam isn’t a race. It’s an ideology.

Alton Nolen, who carried out an Islamic beheading in Oklahoma, converted to Islam. The Christians fleeing Islamic State terror are Arabs.

This isn’t about race or ethnicity. It’s about a homicidal ideology.

The rushed excuses for Nolen’s crimes are that he “misunderstood” Islam. Except he understood it far better than the apologists do.

Nolen is said to have still had the knife he used to cut up produce and he allegedly employed it to behead a 54-year-old woman he had never met named Colleen Hufford. The result was much like in a photo of a beheading he had posted on his Facebook page in March.

“This do we find the clear precedent that explains the particular penchant of Islamic terrorists to behead their victims, it is merely another precedent bestowed by their Prophet,” reads the caption, which adds a citation from the Quran, “I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers; smite ye about their necks.”

It all comes back to Mohammed. It always does.

In his frenzy, Nolen reportedly sought to decapitate a second woman and only stopped when he was shot by the chief operating officer of Vaughan Foods, who is also a reserve cop.

It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a Koran.

The various narratives about Nolen, including the one in the linked article will focus on his criminal past and dismiss him as a loser. Of course the same can be said of radical recruits to any movement including Communism and Nazism.

The sort of people willing to be used as cannon fodder in a war knowing that they will die or be killed have a spotty history and Islam, in the US, is still often conveyed to non-Muslim women through marriage and non-Muslim men through prison.

Photos of Osama bin Laden and the burning Twin Towers and various jihadis began appearing.

“With killers and boom,” he wrote.

On another day, he wrote simply, “Jihad. Jihad. Jihad.”

He posted photos of a woman being flogged Sharia-style and of a placard reading, “Islam will dominate the world. Freedom can go to hell.”

Anywhere Islam reaches, freedom goes to hell.
