Another Oklahoman Muslim Threatened To Behead Co-Workers

Slowly information is surfacing regarding 30-year-old Alton Nolen aka Jah'Keem Yisrael , the Muslim who beheaded that poor woman at Vaughan Foods in Oklahoma.

Apparently, Nolen converted to Islam during his time in the penitentiary in 2011, tried to convert co-workers at the food processing plant where he worked, was fired after he argued in favor of stoning of women, and then returned to the plant where he attacked several women until he was shot by the COO Mark Vaughan.

Walid Shoebat has some interesting info on Nolen, including the fact that he was initially with the Black Israelite cult.

More on Nolen on and his posts on Facebook on Daily Caller.

Now we hear about this, also out of Oklahoma. Jacob Murithi who threatened to behead a co-worker and was fired, was arrested the same day that Alton Jones was. He had told the co-worker that he "represented ISIS and that ISIS kills Christians."  He's in jail on terrorism charges.  At least they didn't categorize it as workplace violence.

You have to wonder if this has anything to do with, or was inspired by the thwarted terrorist plot in Australia to behead random people.

Muslim Woman Sues Planet Fitness Gym Over Hijab

Another frivolous lawsuit involving an American Muslim.

Planet Fitness has a dress code it asks its members to adhere to: “no jeans, work boots, bandannas, skull caps or revealing apparel" but 37-year-old Tarainia McDaniel feels she should be able to wear a head covering to the gym.  Apparently she transferred from one New Mexico gym that allowed her to wear one, to one that did not.  Back in 2011 she showed up at the new location, and she was told she was not allowed to work out as long as she wore the head covering. So, almost three years later, she has suddenly decided to sue the company for a violation of the Human Rights and Unfair Practices Acts, claiming that they denied her entrance because she was either Muslim or black.

According to McDaniels, when she arrived at the gym on October 3, 2011 wearing a head scarf, she was told she could not work out at that facility because she did not meet Planet Fitness dress code. She says that even after she told them she was a Muslim and wore the 'informal head covering' for religious purposes, and that she'd be happy to wear the more formal 'hijab', she was told no.

According to Planet Fitness:

 "..they didn't know the head covering was for religious purposes," and that “.... our policy is, and has always been, that members are allowed to wear head scarves for religious reasons in our clubs." 

Planet Fitness claims it did not violate any of McDaniel's rights, but there is no reason given as to why she was not allowed access even though they say they allow religious head coverings.

What I want to know is why did she wait this long to file suit?

Ex-US Soldier Sentenced To 7 Years For Trying To Join Al-Shabaab

The 26-year-old ex-US Army intelligence specialist Craig Benedict Baxam who was caught trying to join al-Shabaab in Somalia in 2011, was just sentenced to 7 years in prison for destroying his computer, plus 5 years of supervised release.  The idiot apparently converted to Islam shortly before he left the military and wanted to fight with one of the most extreme Islamic terrorist groups in existence. Baxam was arrested by Kenyan police as he tried to cross over into Somalia.

He was charged and sentenced for destroying his computer which had information that would aid in a terrorism investigation.

His defense said the lad just wanted to go practice his religion, even though FBI agents who interviewed him in Kenya said:

"... that he would fight against any country, including the United States and his former colleagues in the U.S. Army, if Al Shabaab controlled areas were invaded or if anyone tried to institute a democratic government there."

So what happens to him when his 12 years is up? He's left to plot his way to get to heaven and those 72 virgins??

More here, and here.

Nicole Mansfield- The U.S. Muslim Woman Killed In Syria

Three westerners were allegedly killed by Syrian forces during an ambush, and it is thought that one of them was a female Muslim American convert who was fighting alongside Al Qaeda-linked rebels. Probably Jabhat al-Nusra. The black banner found in their car would probably be a good indication that they were.

The woman (though not yet confirmed) is thought to be 33-year-old Nicole Lynn Mansfield. Raised Baptist, the Flint, Michigan woman converted to Islam and began donning the hijab after marrying an Arab immigrant about five years ago. He dumped her after he got his green card, three years later. She has a daughter (now 18), the product of a teen pregnancy. She was apparently a lost soul searching for her purpose in life, which makes her conversion to Islam understandable. Carole Mansfield, her grandmother, said that Nicole told people:

“..that the best way of life was to be a Muslim. And that women should wear scarves ... women should always cover their head. ” She had a heart of gold, but she was weak-minded. I think she could have been brainwashed.”


Apparently local Syrian-Americans had never heard of Nicole.
Muna Jondy, a Syrian-American activist who is president of the Flint-based United for a Free Syria and who opposes the Syrian government, told the Detroit Free Press that she hadn’t heard of Mansfield. She also warned about accepting the Syrian television report because the station is linked to the Bashar al-Assad government, which is battling opposition forces and may be reporting propaganda.

According to her aunt, Monica Mansfield Speelman, about two or three years ago she made a trip to Dubai but was convinced to return home. Both aunt and granny said that Nicole did not keep in touch  much, and they had no clue what her ex-hubby's name was or that she had even traveled to Syria. It seems this lack of communication happened after her marriage and conversion to Islam.

The FBI paid a visit to grandma Mansfield for more information, but are still reluctant to confirm her death.  The Syrian government has her passport, though.

We make choices in life- she obviously made some bad ones.
