The Oklahoma Beheading: More ‘Workplace Violence’?

Screen Shot 2014-09-28 at 10.24.09 PMA convert to Islam who calls himself Jah’Keem Yisrael (formerly Alton Alexander Nolen) beheaded one of his coworkers and was shot while in the process of trying to behead another last Friday in Vaughan Foods, a food processing plant in Oklahoma. And now the predictable denial and obfuscation from the Obama Administration has begun.

On Sunday, Tony Blinken, Obama’s deputy national security adviser, was asked whether the beheading was an act of terror or, as the Obama Administration notoriously classified the Fort Hood jihad massacre of November 2009, workplace violence. “We don’t know,” said the Dickensian-named Blinken, blinkers firmly in place. “The FBI has an active investigation. I’m not going to get ahead of it. Let’s see what they find.” Wynken and Nod were unavailable for comment.

As for the FBI itself, FBI Special Agent in Charge James E. Finch said Saturday that the bureau hadn’t yet figured out what Yisrael’s motive was. He didn’t say whether or not the feds were examining his Facebook page, which, according to the New York Daily News, is “riddled with phrases like ‘Sharia law is coming’ and calling America ‘wicked.’ It also has photos of various terror groups and their leaders, including bin Laden, who was killed by U.S. forces operating in Pakistan in 2012.”

Not only that. Jah’Keem Yisrael filled his Facebook page with quotations from the Qur’an and exhortations to his fellow Muslims to be more rigorous and correct in their observance of Islamic ritual and morality. Also the page is a photograph of him with two members of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City; Yisrael stands between them holding up his index finger in the sign of the Islamic State, signifying Islam’s uncompromising monotheism. Nor is even that all: his page features photographs of beheadings.

And while the mosque is issuing statements implying that Yisrael was a bad Muslim or hardly even a Muslim at all, and that hardly anyone knew him there anyway, I received this insider report from a former member of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City:

I went to the same mosque the Oklahoma Muslim who beheaded his co-worker today. I live ten minutes away!

The Imam was Imad Enchassi the last I heard. He was a friend of mine. He is a Lebanese-born Sunni who hates Israel. He once gave a sermon that the Israelis were trying to collapse al-Aqsa mosque by digging tunnels underneath it. They have no issue with Palestinian suicide bombings because, as it was explained to me, that is the only weapon the Palestinians have.

They sold Milestones in the book shop while I was there, which as you know calls for replacing all non-Islamic governments with Islamic ones. I remember listening to a tape a friend of mine, Yahya Graff, another white convert to Islam, had that prayed for the destruction of Israel and America.

The imam when I first converted, Suhaib Webb, is hailed as a moderate by liberals in the United States but he was the one that explicitly told me that according to Islam, three choices are to be given to non-Muslims: convert, pay the jizyah tax and live under Islamic rule, or jihad. They try very hard to whitewash Islam when the media is around, but they believe in their religion and the ultimate goal of an Islamic caliphate.

Does all this mean that Jah’Keem Yisrael’s beheading of Colleen Hufford was a jihad attack? Not necessarily. Yisrael wouldn’t be the first person to be distraught over being fired and react violently. Many non-Muslims have done that. The difference here, however, is that when Yisrael became violent, he began beheading – just as the Islamic State is doing, and just as the Qur’an exhorts believers to do (“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” — 47:4).

At the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City and elsewhere, as he learned the teachings and attitudes of his new religion, Jah’Keem Yisrael breathed in an environment in which beheading was under certain circumstances a proper, even praiseworthy response.

If the Obama Administration and its FBI were at all interested in the truth of this case, they would be investigating whether or not Jah’Keem Yisrael considered the beheading of an unbeliever to be something that Allah would reward, in line with Qur’an 47:4, and seized the opportunity of his firing from Vaughan Foods (after an argument over whether or not adulteresses should be stoned to death; Yisrael argued yes) to combine his desire for revenge with his desire to wage jihad.

Instead, they will probably be doing all they can to make sure such investigations are not pursued.

    Anyone can see the is just an upset young Man expressing his anger at being laid off and has nothing to do with Islam, Muslims etc, after all just ask Private Lee Rigby, the survivors of the Psycho Psych that murdered those people, just asl the Christians in Nigeria, Egypt, ask all those Yazidis and Christians, oh yeh you can’t, they are all “dead” at the hands of “peace” loving “moderate” Muslims that are unhappy at being unemployed, victims of poor upbringing, etc
    These people are nothing but butchers

  • Bamaguje

    Jah’Keem Yisrael… unusual name for a Muslim.
    Given Islam’s deeply entrenched Jew hatred, why would a Muslim choose to be called “Yisrael”?
    Even the ‘Jah’ in Jah’keem seems to be of Rastafarian origin.
    He’s obviously a very confused Muslim… No surprise he ended up carrying out one of Islam’s most brutal injunctions… behead the infidel (Quran 47:4)

    • Ganesha_akbar

      Yisrael (Jacob, Yaqub) is also considered a patriarch of Islam. Yisrael is believed by Muslims to be buried in the Cave of the Patriarchs (known by Muslims as the Sanctuary of Abraham). The compound, located in Hebron, is venerated by Muslims.

      • Arf

        I do not doubt what you are saying one bit but I do want to add that ANY act of brutality and disrespect of the other — particularly Jews — is acceptable and valued EVEN if it also insults one who is considered to be a patriarch or descendant of a patriarch of Islam. In Judea/Samaria, Palestinians have REPEATEDLY vandalized and burned the tomb of Joseph (son of Jacob) and Rachel (wife of Abraham). The way I see it, destruction is the essence of Islam — even if it includes blowing up someone else’s mosque.

  • Bananaman

    Yeah, the white house refuses to comment on an ongoing investigation, ok, except of course if it’s a case where a black person has been shot by a white person they’re more than happy to stir the pot before the facts come out.

    • Ganesha_akbar

      Elsewhere in an alternate universe, Ferguson PD commented: “I know the world also took notice of the small black toddler who watched his unarmed black mother gunned down by Capitol police one year ago, and a White House fence perimeter was expanded… but we welcome the scrutiny.”

  • Peter Castle

    The Left is more afraid of losing elections than of America being attacked by terrorists. It’s election-year politics as much as political correctness. They want to disguise the fact that terror has struck America’s heartland.

  • Gee

    It is interesting that the Department of Homeland Security is going after returning veterans and the Tea Party people while excusing Muslims for Jihad.

    These people are contortionists in excusing Muslim terrorism while inventing non-Muslim terrorism

    • http://www.drbukk.com/ Nancy Albert

      They are also contortionists in excusing the staggering, genocidal Black on White crime rates. Then, irony upon irony, conflate the odd, questionable incidents of a White on Black “murder” into martyrdom, protests and riots.

  • MattBracken

    Radical Islam is real Islam. “Moderate” Muslims are Trojan horse Muslims, camouflaging the violent jihadists until they strike. Just ask any “moderate” Muslim if they will condemn Mohammed for beheading hundreds of captives, and raping widowed captives on the bloody ground. They won’t. If Mohammed did it, they won’t condemn it. Not even raping captive women after beheading their captive husbands.

    • Harry_the_Horrible

      Dunno, some of them might be “hypocrites” – that is not quite as enthusiastic about Islam as the radicals.
      They are in almost as much danger as us infidels…

  • Brown Wolf

    Islam is a murderous cult, but politicians keep saying it’s a “religion of peace” no matter how many people they behead.

    • BS77

      Isnt it wonderful how thoughtful our government was in allowing all the practitiioners of this hideous ideology to stream into the US , to set up their mosques and loudspeakers, CAIR and all the rest….what a disaster, what a catastrophe for England, the US, France etc etc. Thanks for bringing in the Tsaernayev brothers, for the 9/11 hijackers, for that Ft. Hood shooter…oh we are so fortunate

    • Mia Seths

      Redefining “peace” one muder at a time.

  • Mia Seths

    We have to end Muslim immigration and redefine Islam as a cult so it can be banned. Otherwise we will have stonings in Times Square in a hundred years. Keep the West free and safe for a non-Muslims.

    • Brown Wolf

      I don’t think it would take 100 years… More like 20.

      • Arf

        Yes, you are right — or even less than 20.

      • Sharps Rifle

        Try about two years, at the rate things are going, and with a not-so-crypto muslim in the White House.

    • petroskhan

      All we need to do is start pressuring our local governments to enforce existing laws, namely 18 USC 2385, which makes it illegal to advocate overthrowing the government.

      Read it, you’ll be surprised at how closely Islam fits the description of that law.

      This nonsensical, barbaric cult is against the law. If enough of us pressure locally to get the laws enforced, we might have something…

  • Arf

    And the Muslim man in Buffalo, NY, (a number of years ago) who beheaded his Muslim wife for filing divorce papers was also performing jihad because as we all know, divorce instigated by the wife, is an insult to a Muslim husband (who is acting as Allah and Mohammad) and that is a crime punishable by beheading.

    Some people are careful not to label or categorize things, especially of such a sensitive nature until they have more information.

    There was clearly an interplay here of Jihad and workplace violence. Whether this was an act of terror I think depends on the motive, i.e., was it intended to frighten ~ or was this misguided man simply following through on what he believed was his obligation as a card-carrying Muslim?

    I believe his firing was the trigger for what was perhaps inevitable, but provided a convenient excuse for the violence he was probably already entertaining in his mind.

    • PAthena

      The term “work-place violence” is an Orwellian term invented by the Obama administration to cover up what is murder by Muslims, i.e., jihad, e.g. the massacre of American troops at Fort Hood by Major Nidal Hasan. All violence takes place somewhere.

  • Dan Knight

    Workplace violence? If Alton had converted to Judaism, Christianity (Holy Roller, Evangelical, Baptist, etc.), Buddhist, Hindu, Confucianism, Shinto, Zoroastrian, Baha’i, or even Star Wars-Minecraft-Geek, we all know his victims would be alive, he’d be alive, and very probably he would still be employed.

    He may have chosen to convert because he was having trouble, but had he made a different choice the outcome would have been so much less violent and more positive, he might have improved his situation. People do it all the time. If you’re allergic to alcohol, you follow Saint Bill W. If you need a friend, you join a Church group in your age/marital status bracket.

    And none of us have the bully pulpit to raise the right questions in Lefty-language. Such as: How can we protect African immigrants from Islamic programming? How can the Left be so racist, they are blind to Alton’s need for protection from Islamic programming? Why are Leftist’s so bigoted, they do not care about the African Immigrants who are targeted for Islamic programming?

    I’m sure you can come up with some good ones.

    I’ve known many decent, solid Nigerian immigrants. None, however, were Islamic or Muslim. They were all Catholic or Baptists. They tended to be multilingual, (English, French, and one of the many native tongues). And they hold college or technical educations.

    Why is it recent Nigerian immigrants typically lack these qualities? Especially when Nigerian Christians are being targeted and we should be handing out refugee visas to them? I’ve run into Nigerians who’ve been here for years, who are afraid of the new arrivals. That doesn’t bode well.

    And then there’s mental illness, brainwashing, and variations of tend/befriend aimed at those with criminal pasts or dicey personalities.

    The 800 lb gorilla in the room here is so obvious, the Left has to shoot the messenger.

    IF ANYONE QUESTIONS WHETHER THIS IS TERROR, CUT THEIR HEADS OFF WITH A DULL KNIFE AND THEN ASK THEM AGAIN IF IT IS TERROR! MORONS.

  • kikorikid

    Obama had the “Training Manuals” and other documents used by the FBI et al,
    purged of any reference to Islam-Islamic-Jihadist-Terrorism and no one is allowed
    to use those terms. This action is in common with “Workplace Violence” as
    both are Sharia Compliant. Prohibiting the Naming of an Enemy is to Protect
    that Enemy and increase the vulnerability of the American Public to attack.
    Obama also said, “No religion condones the killing of Innocents”.
    Obama, intentionally, did not tell us that in Islam, the ONLY “Innocents”
    are “Believers”. EVERYBODY else is liable to the Sword.

  • Maynard

    I notice that Colleen Hufford was a white lady. Why isn’t this a hate crime? Where was Obama? Where was Al Sharpton? Where was Holder? Is it ok for blacks to kill white women? How long will the white people of America put up with this racist regime?

  • Mark

    The television reports I’ve seen did not point out that Nolen’s statement to his victim– “I will instill terror in the hearts of unbelievers”–is also a direct quotation from the Koran (Sura 8:12).

    • Mark

      I spoke incorrectly: the statement was posted on Nolen’s Facebook page, not said to his victim. Sorry. But it’s still Koran 8:12.

  • Yoda Dundar

    Doubt Holder will make any appearance, or send any investigators, in my opinion they are behind most of if not all the problems going on in Ferguson, hope I am wrong, but doubt it, only way he will go there is to win approval and hopefully get supporters if he ever has to face charges of misconduct, sheesh so many things he has has done even Gitmo is not severe enough punishment

  • ObamaYoMoma

    It’s kind of ironic…according to the Obama administration what happened in Oklahoma is workplace violence, and while at the same time that the Republicans were ridiculing the Obama administration for such overt political correctness, they were claiming that the perpetrator was a recent convert to “radical” Islam.

    In other words, at the same time the hypocritical Republicans ridiculed the Obama administration for being too politically correct, they were also invoking political correctness themselves to hide the reality that the perpetrator is a recent convert to mainstream orthodox Islam, which is the only kind. As the existence of so-called radical Islam, exactly like the existence of so-called moderate Islam as well, are both political correct myths.

    The reality is both factions are lying through their teeth to the American people about the reality of Islam and its adherents.

  • NJK

    My hope is someone involved in covering up the truth, has a loved one die like this. Then they will get it. They think it can’t happen to them.

  • Pericles

    There is an idea that the Nazis and Muslim Jihadists have in common. The idea is that those who oppose Nazism or Sharia Law must be exterminated or forced to submit to their ideology. Hitler had devised death camps for Jews to solve the “Jewish Problem”. Muslim Jihadists favor beheadings over gas chambers and they are more inclusive than Hitler was: ALL infidels, not JUST Jews.

    People think that there is no way that Germans could have justified the Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis against Jews. Maybe not, but only because they lost in WW II. Muslim Jihadists only need the Koran to justify and sanctify their atrocities to themselves. They also have the advantage over the Nazis that we refuse to declare war against them and classify their barbarism as domestic violence and workplace violence, as opposed to attempts at genocide.

  • kafir4life

    Never hire muslims. We don’t. Don’t ever shop in their stores. We won’t. Don’t patronize businesses that hire muslims. We won’t, and we explain to management why. When you see a muslim, stare at it until it’s out of site. We do. Never board a plane that has muslims on them. We wouldn’t.
    It’s all about personal safety.

  • kikorikid

    Not Political correctness as much as Sharia Compliance.

  • petroskhan

    If one believes in Islam, he’s just a follower of “the religion of peace.”

    If one acts on the principles of Islam, then he’s labelled a “radical”.

    Weird, isn’t it?

    How about we just cut to the chase, and keep these low-brow vermin out of our country, and use the law to do so.
