Oklahoma beheading suspect in front of Oklahoma mosque. — Facebook via Breitbart

On Saturday, Terror Trends Bulletin, citing reports at Breitbart.com, said Alton Nolen, the suspect in a grisly beheading in Moore, Oklahoma, has "direct and indirect" ties to prominent Islamic figures in the United States. The mosque attended by Nolen, aka Jah’Keem Yisrael, was once led by Suhaib Webb, an Imam with ties to former al-Qaeda mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki, Breitbart reported.
The mosque Nolen attended, the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, is affiliated with the Islamic Society of North America, Terror Trends Bulletin said. ISNA, Christopher Holton reported, was outed as a Muslim Brotherhood front and was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial.
When ISNA tried to get that designation removed, Holton added, the judge refused, saying the designation was accurate and proper. Were it not for the influence of Attorney General Eric Holder, who shut down the investigation, ISNA may have been prosecuted for terror charges.
In a YouTube video posted last October, Webb attacked human rights activist Aayan Hirsi Ali and called for an Islamic-dominated society while speaking at a CAIR event. He is now affiliated with the Islamic Society of Boston, a mosque with ties to the Boston Marathon bomber and the terror group ISIS. Webb, Charles Jacobs said at the Jewish Advocate last year, “teaches vicious hatred and calls for young Muslims to engage in Jihad against non-Muslims in order to establish a global Islamic state.”
Three weeks before allegedly beheading a former co-worker, Nolen took a picture of himself in front of the Oklahoma mosque where Webb once worked. The caption on his Facebook page read: “At The Masjid (Mosque)Today For Jumar 9/5/2014 & Peforming (sic) Wudu!!!”
CAIR, Holton said, has distanced itself from Nolen. Adam Soltani of CAIR-Oklahoma, said “Islam stands clearly opposed to violence in any kind and in no way could or faith ever support the actions of this man.” But a group of Muslims were heard shouting "praise Allah" after a press conference on the beheading.
Holton, however, wasn't convinced by Soltani, saying that "available evidence, dating back 1400 years to the earliest origins of Islamic doctrine to the actions of literally dozens of Jihadist organizations on every continent, save Antarctica, contradicts this ridiculous statement by Soltani." Islamic jihadists around the world have used beheading as a preferred method of execution, Holton said, calling the Oklahoma attack "anything but isolated."
He cited the beheadings of Daniel Pearl, James Foley, Steven Sotloff, David Haines and Herve Gourdel as examples. ISIS terrorists have beheaded so many that children play with the severed heads.
"There are many ways to kill someone," he said. "But Muslim jihadis choose to behead their victims."
The reason is quite simple. Islamic doctrine, Holton added, "says that they should." Meanwhile, authorities have not confirmed the motivation for the murder, but the FBI is reportedly probing to see if Nolen's conversion to Islam may have played a role.

Obama has had accurate intelligence about ISIS since BEFORE the 2012 election, says administration insider

A national security staffer in the Obama administration said the president has been seeing 'highly accurate predictions' about the rise of the ISIS terror army since 'before the 2012 election'
Obama insisted in his campaign speeches that year that America was safe and al-Qaeda was 'on the run'
The president said during Sunday's '60 Minutes' program that his Director of National Intelligence had conceded he underestimated ISIS
But the administration aide insisted that Obama's advisers gave him actionable information that sat and gathered dust for more than a year
'He knew what was at stake,' the aide said of the president, and 'he knew where all the moving pieces were'
Obama takes daily intelligence briefings in writing, he explained, because no one will be able to testify about warning the president in person about threats that the White House doesn't act on

President Barack Obama's intelligence briefings have provided him with specific information since before he won re-election in 2012 about the growing threat of the terror group now known alternatively as ISIS and ISIL, an administration insider told MailOnline on Monday.

'Unless someone very senior has been shredding the president's daily briefings and telling him that the dog ate them, highly accurate predictions about ISIL have been showing up in the Oval Office since before the 2012 election,' said a national security staffer in the Obama administration who is familiar with the content of intelligence briefings.

The staffer declined to share anything specific about the content of those briefings, citing his need to maintain a security clearance.

But 'it's true,' he said, 'that the [intelligence] community was sending pretty specific intel up to us.'

'We were seeing specific threat assessments and many of them have panned out exactly as we were told they would.'

Too little, too late? American-led coalition airstrikes against targets near Aleppo, Syriaare welcome relief but don't change tough questions about when the White House knew ISIS had become a genocidal terror army

While ISIS claims it is plotting attacks on US and European targets, President Barack Obama says his intelligence chiefs failed to tell him how dire the threat was all along

Obama campaigned in 2012 while US intelligence services provided him with specific information about the moves and threats of militants who would later declare themselves a state as ISIS

The aide said he is familiar with some of the material regarding the Middle East that reaches Obama's desk.

In a '60 Minutes' interview that aired Sunday, the president singled out James Clapper, his director of national intelligence, for blame in failing to understand the significance of the threat posed by the terror army that calls itself the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham.

'Our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper,' Obama said, 'has acknowledged that, I think, they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria.'

That finger-pointing, MailOnline's source said, is not sitting well in the White House.

'It's starting to affect morale around here,' he said.

'Any time you're hired by a boss to advise him about what to do in a high-stakes area, and he ignores you for a long time, it's going to gnaw at you.'

And choosing a fall guy, he said, has a smell of desperation about it since the president was warned long ago what could happen if ISIS, formerly known in the West as Al-Qaeda In Iraq, were left alone to fester following a U.S. military withdrawal.

The last American boots on the ground were airlifted from Iraq in December 2011. In the months that followed, he explained, U.S. intelligence services compiled detailed information about what the groups he called 'bad guys' were doing to take advantage of the sudden power vacuum.

And those briefings were specific about both the breadth of ISIS's aims and their ability to run roughshod over large swaths of two countries.

There's 'no way' the president should blame the alphabet-soup of intelligence agencies for what resulted, the aide said.

'He had enough to go on ... He knew what was at stake. He knew where all the moving pieces were.'

'By February [2014] we had generals basically reading out their memos to Congress,' he added, referring to testimony from Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Flynn predicted ISIS 'probably will attempt to take territory in Iraq and Syria to exhibit its strength in 2014.' The Islamist terror group had already seized Fallujah and Ramadi, he said, had the 'ability to concurrently maintain multiple safe havens in Syria.'

By the time Flynn spoke on Capitol Hill, Congress had already heard the story at least once before.

Assistant Secretary of State Brett McGurk told a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee in November 2013 that ISIS had been militarily active all year because of 'a permissive operating environment due to inherent weaknesses of Iraqi security forces, poor operational tactics, and popular grievances, which remain unaddressed.'

'It has also benefited from a sanctuary across the porous border in Syria, control of lucrative facilities there, such as oil wells, and regular movement of weapons and fighters between Syria and Iraq,' McGurk said.

Is an air campaign enough? Obama is sending planes like these Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles over targets in Northern Iraq and Syria, but his enthusiasm for defeating the loathed Islamist radicals is late in coming if he has been briefed about them for more than two years

Under the bus: Obama told the '60 Minutes' program on Sunday that 'our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that, I think, they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria'

Asked Monday whether the president heard that early warning and found it credible, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told an ABC News reporter that 'nobody could predict ... the (lack of) willingness of the Iraqi security forces to stand up and fight for their own country.'

But MailOnline's source said that even McGurk's warning bells were old news in the White House.

The president, he said, was hearing information about ISIS 'long before that. It goes back to the autumn of 2012.'

Al-Qaeda in Iraq, he said, had already begun to metamorphose into ISIS before Obama ran for president the first time. In 2006 the group's Mujahideen Shura Council declared an Islamic 'state' in western and central Iraq, a development U.S. military intelligence was aware of since they were stationed 'in country.'

By the late autumn of that year the nascent self-proclaimed Sunni country was organized and holding open-air military parades.

President Obama ordered America's military to pack up and return home at the end of 2011. By that time, the would-be nation ISIS's goals had exploded to encompass controlling land in Syria. And its tactical toolbox had grown to include the kind of genocidal preferences that ISIS has showed in 2013 and 2014.

While the U.S. officially left no residual military force in Iraq, the aide told MailOnline, small contingents of Special Operators and intelligence assets did remain behind. And the information they provided became part of the president's briefings in the months that followed – right in the midst of presidential campaign season.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Shots across the bow: The president is seeing significant pushback now from members of the intel and national security communities who resent the White House ignoring their warning for years

US-led airstrikes in Syria as gov't forces clash with ISIS on...

Still, Obama repeatedly claimed in his campaign speeches that his administration had left Middle Eastern terror groups hamstrung and hurting.

'Four years ago, I promised to end the war in Iraq – and we did,' he said during a Sept. 13, 2012 speech in Colorado. 'I said we’d wind down the war in Afghanistan – and we are.'

'And while a new tower rises above the New York skyline, al-Qaeda is on the path to defeat and Osama bin Laden is dead.'

Those words came two days after a terror attack that left a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans dead in Benghazi, Libya.

The administration later claimed he was referring to 'al-Qaeda core,' the Pakistan-based mother ship once helped by Osama bin Laden. But ISIS's roots as an al-Qaeda faction now make Obama's pronouncements look questionable.

Since the president's CBS interview aired Sunday night, a few intrepid whistle-blowers have poked their heads above Washington's parapets to disagree with his claim that his intelligence advisers failed to pinpoint the growing ISIS threat.

One former senior Pentagon aide told The Daily Beast that 'either the president doesn't read the intelligence he’s getting or he’s bulls***ting.'

Like that former official, MailOnline's source requested anonymity.

He echoed the Pentagon veteran's concerns about how the president digests the information that Clapper and others distill for him on a daily basis.

'It's pretty well-known that the president hasn’t taken in-person intelligence briefings with any regularity since the early days of 2009,' the aide said. 'He gets them in writing.'

'And it's well-understood why. No one sits and watches him read them, and no one can come back later and tell Congress in a closed session that "I told the president this specific thing was likely to happen".'

ISIS, which has its roots in Al-Qaeda In Iraq, is a 31,000-strong terror army that has seized massive land areas in Iraq and Syria and now occupies about one-third of both

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican, said late Monday in a statement that U.S. intelligence agencies have 'specifically warned' for 'over a year' that ISIS 'was taking advantage of the situation in Syria to recruit members and provoke violence that could spill into Iraq and the rest of the region.'

In 2013, he said, his committee 'formally pressed the administration for action to address the terrorist threat present in Syria.'

'We all knew that former Iraqi Prime Minster Maliki had mismanaged his military and gutted the ISF (Iraqi Security Forces) of its top commanders. Indeed, over a year ago, our Arab League partners sought U.S. support and leadership for a coordinated effort to address the extremist threat in eastern Syria.'

'This was not an Intelligence Community failure,' Rogers said, 'but a failure by policy makers to confront the threat.'

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain told a CNN audience on Monday that he was 'puzzled by the president, some of his statements. ... We predicted what would happen if we didn’t leave (a) residual force' in Iraq.

'The intelligence people are pushing back hard,' McCain observed.

'We predicted this and watched it, it was like watching a train wreck, and warning every step of the way that this was happening.'

RPT: Okla. Beheading Suspect Went to Same Mosque as 9/11 Conspirator

by Fox News Insider // Sep 29 2014 // 10:15pm

As seen on The Kelly File

Oklahoma beheading suspect Alton Nolen reportedly attended the same mosque as a 9/11 conspirator.

Breitbart Texas news contributor Bob Price told Megyn Kelly tonight that Zacarias Moussaoui, "the 20th hijacker," went to the same mosque as Nolen – although there is no known direct link between the two.

Price, who has been following this story from the beginning, also told Kelly about speaking to Nolen’s mother. He said he picked up a sense of deep depression while speaking to the woman, who maintains that her son “was raised up believing in God.”
But Price said that Nolen “isn’t the innocent little boy that she’s trying to portray,” noting his assault conviction which occurred prior to his conversion to Islam.

Germany's military can't meet Nato commitments

Published: 29 Sep 2014 09:06 GMT+02:00
Updated: 29 Sep 2014 09:06 GMT+02:00

Germany's military is in such a poor state it cannot currently live up to all its Nato commitments, the country's defence minister admitted on Sunday, warning it could take years to overcome equipment problems.

Revealed: Germany's military feet of clay (25 Sep 14)
Von der Leyen makes surprise visit to Iraq (25 Sep 14)
Germany can't get Isis mission off the ground (24 Sep 14)

Ursula von der Leyen said in an interview that the Bundeswehr could not meet all of its pledges in responding to crises.

"With the airborne systems we are, at the moment, below the target figures announced a year ago on what we want to put at the disposal of Nato within 180 days in the case of an emergency," she told Bild am Sonntag.

Supply shortfalls on replacement parts for aircraft and the breakdown of naval helicopters are behind the problem, she said.

Last week, a small group of German military personnel sent to train Kurdish fighters battling Islamic State jihadists (Isis) arrived in northern Iraq days behind schedule due to technical problems with several transport aircraft.

The first German arms delivery to the region also arrived behind schedule.

Numerous Bundeswehr helicopters and transport planes are not fit for service due to technical defects and fighter jets and armoured vehicles are also beset with problems.

Von der Leyen, who last week visited northern Iraq, said the focus had been to concentrate on the "very good equipment" available for military operations, and less on the maintenance of stock at home.

"For example, the production of replacement parts has been reduced for years. Maintenance and inspections proceed slowly," she told the Sunday paper, adding this could in part also hold up modern equipment.

Working on improving things would take years and more money down the line, she warned.

"Developing stocks, faster repairs and the acquisition of better equipment will cost more money in the medium term," she said.

The German military is looking into leasing additional transport planes to help relieve its old Transall aircraft while it waits to receive A400M models and builds up a fully-operational fleet, she added.

On the need to raise military spending, the defence minister received backing from fellow conservative politician Henning Otte.

"From 2016, an increase of the budget will be necessary, for as much money as is necessary to fulfil all tasks," the conservative bloc's spokesman for defence matters was quoted as saying by Welt am Sonntag.

Kurds arrive in Bavaria

But Germany's Bundeswehr is helping where it can, and on Sunday it started training 32 Kurdish fighters from northern Iraq at an army school in Bavaria.

The soldiers will be trained in handling weaponry provided by the German military to support their battle against Islamic State jihadists, officials said on Sunday.

The fighters, who arrived on Saturday, will receive instruction on using Bundeswehr anti-tank Milan missiles, a defence ministry spokesman told AFP.

The training will takes place at an infantry training centre in the southern town of Hammelburg through Friday.

German military personnel this week are also due to start training Kurdish fighters in Iraq, Der Spiegel news weekly reported on Saturday.

That training is expected to run until the end of November, the magazine said.

Late last month Berlin announced that it was sending weapons to the Peshmerga Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq to help them fight off Isis militants who have seized large swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria.

New York Fusion Center Declares Oath Keepers, Other Liberty Groups as ‘Extremist Threats’

Melissa Melton
Activist Post

The New York State Intelligence Center — a known Fusion Center with the stated purpose to, “collect, evaluate, analyze, and disseminate information and intelligence data regarding criminal and terrorist activity relevant to New York State” — issued a Counter Terrorism Bulletin last June identifying Oath Keepers in addition to other liberty related groups as “far-right extremist group and/or a threat to law enforcement.”

Here is a portion of a statement released by Oath Keepers yesterday:

On August 11, 2014, the New York Oath Keepers sent out correspondence to both the Governor and the Superintendent of the New York State Police clearly pointing out the New York State Intelligence Center’s faulty logic and misstatements of fact that were used to politically demonize the New York Oath Keeper organization whose clearly stated nonpartisan mission is simply to encourage our Military and Law Enforcement Officers, and others, to honor their oaths to the United States and New York State Constitutions.

In that correspondence, we requested that the officials at the NYSIC issue a public correction, indicating their error in classifying New York Oath Keepers as a far-right extremist group and/or a threat to law enforcement. We also requested a meeting with the Governor, the Superintendent of the New York State Police and/or officials from other NYSIC member organizations, so we could address any misinformation and misunderstandings about the New York Oath Keepers mission. We told them that it is our goal to see this extremely prejudicial “far-right extremist” label retracted and the necessary corrections made to the Bulletin.

A month and a half has passed and neither the Governor nor the Superintendent of the New York State Police has seen fit to even reply to our original correspondence.

So, today the New York Oath Keepers, an organization consisting of thousands of active duty and retired military, police and fire personnel, who have at one or more times in their lives taken an Oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, sent them a second letter. We also sent a letter to the Special Agent in Charge of the Albany Office of the FBI, as they are also key members of the NYSIC.

The full statement is up on the official Oath Keepers site here which includes copies of all letters (including the latest) sent to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Some 58 fusion centers were created by the Department of Homeland Security in the wake of 9/11, supposedly to help fight terrorism through local data intelligence gathering. This is not the first time that one of these fusion centers has criminalized anyone outspoken against tyrannical government control and the destruction of the Constitution of the United States and the rights of the American people.

The Missouri Information Analysis Center, or MIAC, which Fox News describes as, “a government collective that identifies the warning signs of potential domestic terrorists for law enforcement communities,” identified Constitutional militia members and even Ron Paul supporters as potential terrorists.

Oath Keepers, meanwhile, is a nonpartisan group made up of current and formerly serving military, police, and first responders who have pledged simply to fulfill the oath all military and police take — to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic .” [emphasis added]

It’s that part about Oath Keepers standing up to defend the law of this land, our Constitution — something Homeland Security has been actively destroying since its inception with leaked DHS training videos referring to America’s founding fathers as domestic terrorists and ludicrous actions like the creation of “100-mile inland Constitution-free zone” checkpoints around the nation’s border, that seems to be the real issue here.

Branding liberty minded groups and those that would stand up for our rights and the Constitution as potential domestic terrorist threats is essentially branding them as criminals, setting them up under a dubious legal framework, and paving the way to make government dissent a crime.

Michelle Bachmann: Obama Will Grant Executive Amnesty to Terrorists in US

September 28, 2014 11:22 am

Obama Nation

(Breitbart) – Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) told Breitbart News at the Value Voters Summit hosted by the Family Research Council that President Barack Obama’s planned executive amnesty is the biggest story that the mainstream media has ignored this year.
“[Seeking] amnesty for illegal aliens is the number one achievement of the president’s second term,” Bachmann said in an interview that aired on Breitbart News Saturday on Sirius XM Patriot Channel 125.
“He’s planning to get it and he’s planning to jam it down the throats of the American people. It’s a plate of dog food to do this,” Bachmann said. “It’s not what the American people want—they’re going to react—which is why the president is taking the coward’s way out and he’s waiting until after the election. The media, unfortunately, is giving the president a big assist because you don’t hear them pounding on the table saying ‘Mr. President, Mr. President, what are you doing?’”
FAX BLAST SPECIAL: Impeach Obama NOW!
“They’re completely leaving the fight,” she continued. “So the American people are being completely dis-served because the president has already announced what he’s going to do. He’s going to give full-scale amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, which by the way would include terrorists who are currently in this country who came in illegally. This is a travesty of historic proportions and the president of the United States will completely destroy his presidency if he does it—but he doesn’t care. All he cares about is the outcome, achieving his radical political ends, which is why we got to do everything we can despite the media not paying attention to this issue we need to focus on it.”
Bachmann, who said she thinks “it’s great” Attorney General Eric Holder is resigning from office at long last—and “should have resigned a long time ago”—backed a strategy by Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) that all U.S. Senators should vote against any Attorney General nominee if that nominee does not oppose Obama’s planned executive amnesty.
“He’s a thousand percent right,” Bachmann said of Sessions’ strategy. “The best senator that we have in the U.S. Senate on the issue of illegal immigration is Jeff Sessions. Bar none. He has led the way in the Senate and actually myself and Congressman Steve King were working with him in the week leading up to the great legislation we got through the House of Representatives. We actually got decent legislation and in part it’s because of the work we did with Sen. Jeff Sessions.”
The legislation Bachmann is referring to were two separate bills the House passed right before August recess. The first toughened immigration asylum restrictions and gave resources to the federal government to halt the border crisis, and the second one defunded the president’s plans for an executive amnesty making it illegal for him to use taxpayer resources to grant illegal aliens work permits or other documents. As the House debated and passed those bills—the first time the Republican Party has been almost universally united against amnesty since the 2012 election—House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi lost control of herself and twice waved her finger in the face of GOP Rep. Tom Marino of Pennsylvania, chasing him across the House floor.
“They [the Democrats] went apoplectic,” Bachmann said. “She [Pelosi] actually chased after a Republican in Congress. She was completely unhinged because her policy is unhinged to give blanket amnesty to people who break our laws to come into the United States. We have a huge problem with amnesty for illegal aliens—it’s a national security risk.”
“It means taking away millions of jobs from American citizens and it further means lowering of wages and benefit packages for Americans,” she continued. “We’re seeing a plumping up of the welfare rolls well into the future. Why would we do this? Why would we add to our welfare rolls? Why would we pull away good jobs from Americans? Why would we lower their wages? That’s why the American people are outraged over illegal immigration, and I really think it is a traitorous act to not bring attention to the fact that the president has announced he is going to grant blanket amnesty and the media is completely ignoring the story. It’s the biggest story of this year other than the tragedy with the Islamic State and Islamic jihad.”

TO LATE NOW THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS ISLAM IS JUST KILLING EVERY ONE TO LATE TO SAVE YOUR ASS WE ARE ALL AWAKE TO ISLAM

Muslim Scholars Release Open Letter To Islamic State Meticulously Blasting Its Ideology

Religion News Service | By Lauren Markoe

Posted: 09/24/2014 5:37 pm EDT Updated: 09/25/2014 10:59 am EDT

WASHINGTON (RNS) More than 120 Muslim scholars from around the world joined an open letter to the “fighters and followers” of the Islamic State, denouncing them as un-Islamic by using the most Islamic of terms.
Relying heavily on the Quran, the 18-page letter released Wednesday (Sept. 24) picks apart the extremist ideology of the militants who have left a wake of brutal death and destruction in their bid to establish a transnational Islamic state in Iraq and Syria.
Even translated into English, the letter will still sound alien to most Americans, said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council of American-Islamic Relations, who released it in Washington with 10 other American Muslim religious and civil rights leaders.
“The letter is written in Arabic. It is using heavy classical religious texts and classical religious scholars that ISIS has used to mobilize young people to join its forces,” said Awad, using one of the acronyms for the group. “This letter is not meant for a liberal audience.”
Even mainstream Muslims, he said, may find it difficult to understand.
Awad said its aim is to offer a comprehensive Islamic refutation, “point-by-point,” to the philosophy of the Islamic State and the violence it has perpetrated. The letter’s authors include well-known religious and scholarly figures in the Muslim world, including Sheikh Shawqi Allam, the grand mufti of Egypt, and Sheikh Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, the mufti of Jerusalem and All Palestine.
A translated 24-point summary of the letter includes the following: “It is forbidden in Islam to torture”; “It is forbidden in Islam to attribute evil acts to God”; and “It is forbidden in Islam to declare people non-Muslims until he (or she) openly declares disbelief.”
This is not the first time Muslim leaders have joined to condemn the Islamic State. The chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, Aiman Mazyek, for example, last week told the nation’s Muslims that they should speak out against the “terrorist and murderers” who fight for the Islamic State and who have dragged Islam “through the mud.”
But the Muslim leaders who endorsed Wednesday’s letter called it an unprecedented refutation of the Islamic State ideology from a collaboration of religious scholars. It is addressed to the group’s self-anointed leader, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, and “the fighters and followers of the self-declared ‘Islamic State.’”
But the words “Islamic State” are in quotes, and the Muslim leaders who released the letter asked people to stop using the term, arguing that it plays into the group’s unfounded logic that it is protecting Muslim lands from non-Muslims and is resurrecting the caliphate — a state governed by a Muslim leader that once controlled vast swaths of the Middle East.
“Please stop calling them the ‘Islamic State,’ because they are not a state and they are not a religion,” said Ahmed Bedier, a Muslim and the president of United Voices of America, a nonprofit that encourages minority groups to engage in civic life.
President Obama has made a similar point, referring to the Islamic State by one of its acronyms — “the group known as ISIL” — in his speech to the United Nations earlier Wednesday. In that speech, Obama also disconnected the group from Islam.
Enumerating its atrocities — the mass rape of women, the gunning down of children, the starvation of religious minorities — Obama concluded: “No God condones this terror.”
Here is the executive summary of their letter:
1. It is forbidden in Islam to issue fatwas without all the necessary learning requirements. Even then fatwas must follow Islamic legal theory as defined in the Classical texts. It is also forbidden to cite a portion of a verse from the Qur’an—or part of a verse—to derive a ruling without looking at everything that the Qur’an and Hadith teach related to that matter. In other words, there are strict subjective and objective prerequisites for fatwas, and one cannot ‘cherry-pick’ Qur’anic verses for legal arguments without considering the entire Qur’an and Hadith.
2. It is forbidden in Islam to issue legal rulings about anything without mastery of the Arabic language.
3. It is forbidden in Islam to oversimplify Shari’ah matters and ignore established Islamic sciences.
4. It is permissible in Islam [for scholars] to differ on any matter, except those fundamentals of religion that all Muslims must know.
5. It is forbidden in Islam to ignore the reality of contemporary times when deriving legal rulings.
6. It is forbidden in Islam to kill the innocent.
7. It is forbidden in Islam to kill emissaries, ambassadors, and diplomats; hence it is forbidden to kill journalists and aid workers.
8. Jihad in Islam is defensive war. It is not permissible without the right cause, the right purpose and without the right rules of conduct.
9. It is forbidden in Islam to declare people non-Muslim unless he (or she) openly declares disbelief.
10. It is forbidden in Islam to harm or mistreat—in any way—Christians or any ‘People of the Scripture’.
11. It is obligatory to consider Yazidis as People of the Scripture.
12. The re-introduction of slavery is forbidden in Islam. It was abolished by universal consensus.
13. It is forbidden in Islam to force people to convert.
14. It is forbidden in Islam to deny women their rights.
15. It is forbidden in Islam to deny children their rights.
16. It is forbidden in Islam to enact legal punishments (hudud) without following the correct
procedures that ensure justice and mercy.
17. It is forbidden in Islam to torture people.
18. It is forbidden in Islam to disfigure the dead.
19. It is forbidden in Islam to attribute evil acts to God.
20. It is forbidden in Islam to destroy the graves and shrines of Prophets and Companions.
21. Armed insurrection is forbidden in Islam for any reason other than clear disbelief by the ruler and not allowing people to pray.
22. It is forbidden in Islam to declare a caliphate without consensus from all Muslims.
23. Loyalty to one’s nation is permissible in Islam.
24. After the death of the Prophet, Islam does not require anyone to emigrate anywhere.

Beheading in Oklahoma

87 Comments

We have a photo of one of the women viciously attacked by her co-worker, devout Muslim Jah’Keem Yisrael.

Traci Johnson on Thursday at Vaughan Foods.
There have been no photos published of Jah’Keem’s victim Colleen Hufford.
There is a pattern in the media to only show the killer. In cases of Islamic terror, they rarely show honor killing victims or the faces of the victims of jihad. Perhaps because it puts a human face on the horror, and people see it less as a news story and more of a reality.

“Woman beheaded in Oklahoma attack was grandmother who just lost her home in tornado as it emerges attacker was let out of jail early,” By Jill Reilly for MailOnline, September 28, 2014
Alton Nolen, 30, allegedly killed Colleen Hufford, 54, in Moore, Oklahoma

The woman beheaded by a Muslim convert was a grandmother who had lost her home in a tornado, it emerged today.

Alton Alexander Nolen, 30, is accused of killing Colleen Hufford, 54, and stabbing Traci Johnson, 43, who apparently were attacked randomly at the Vaughan Foods facility in Moore on Thursday, after he was fired from his job

Hufford, who had been married for 25 years, had lost her family home in the Moore tornado.

Today it was revealed that Nolen had served less than two years of a six-year prison sentence for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, reports News OK.

According to records he went to prison March 10, 2011, to start a two-year sentence for marijuana possession and another two-year sentence for assaulting a highway patrol trooper, the website reported.

He began his six-year sentence for cocaine possession April 26, 2011, records show – due to plea agreements with prosecutors, he was allowed to serve the three prison sentences at the same time.

‘Killer': The suspect reportedly beheaded Colleen Hufford, 54, and stabbed Traci Johnson, 43, before he was shot and wounded by off-duty sheriff’s deputy and firm CEO Mark Vaughan. Above, Nolen reads the Koran

Because of credits, he was able to complete all three prison sentences in just two years and he was released on March 22, 2013, records show.

‘Our intent was to incarcerate him much longer than a year and 11 months,’ Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater said Friday.

‘This case perfectly illustrates the problem with the Department of Corrections.

‘If it’s not an 85 percent crime, we have no idea how long a person will actually spend in prison,’ Prater said.

Nolen was shot by sheriff’s deputy Mark Vaughan, who is also the firm’s CEO.

In prayer: It has emerged that Nolen (seen praying) apparently celebrated terrorism, promoted Islam and disparaged non-Muslims in a series of posts on Facebook in the months leading up to the alleged killing

At work: Meanwhile, in another, he uploaded a photo of the Joker with a message criticising the ‘wicked’ U.S. for not helping the people of Gaza against Israel. Above, Nolen is pictured loading food onto a shelf at work

In custody: Over a one-year period, Nolen also apparently posted images of Osama bin Laden, deadly weaponry, a poster reading ‘Islam will dominate the world’ and children learning how to shoot guns

Islamic convert: Other posts saw Nolen reading the Koran, donning Muslim religious clothing (pictured), praying in a mosque and seemingly performing the one-figure salute of the Islamic State terror group

He has now regained consciousness and was interviewed by detectives Saturday.

Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said that Nolen will be charged Monday with first-degree murder and assault and battery with a deadly weapon and that he may also face federal charges.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for an Oklahoma City Islamic group said Saturday that Nolen was a frequent worshipper at a mosque the group maintains and that he remembers the suspect as ‘a little weird.’

‘He was a nice, quiet, low-key guy,’ said Saad Mohammed, director of information for the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City.

Scene: On Friday, 911 calls revealed the panic of employees, with a caller telling the dispatcher: ‘They’re in the office, front office of the building. Yeah, we can hear a lot of screaming. Above, the scene at Vaughan Foods

Heroic: Mark Vaughan, pictured above, shot the suspect multiple times to put an end to his killing spree. Mr Vaughan is the former president of the company, left, and a reserve sheriff’s deputy, rig

‘He acted a little odd,’ Mohammed said, though he added that Nolen’s behavior never raised any ‘red flags.’

Mohammed said Nolen began worshipping at one of the group’s mosques in May.

He says Nolen wasn’t outgoing and that his behavior didn’t raise any red flags.

He also said that Nolen attended services where sermons were delivered against beheadings like those committed by Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, militants, reports CBS News.

Lewis said Nolen was fired right before the attack, and that he then drove from the building that houses the company’s human resources department to its main distribution center.

Once inside, he attacked 54-year-old Colleen Hufford with a knife in the center’s administrative office area, eventually severing her head, according to police.

Nolen then repeatedly stabbed 43-year-old Traci Johnson before Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff’s deputy and the company’s chief operating officer, shot him, police said.

Johnson was treated for her injuries at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center, where she was released Saturday, said Varina Shellman, clinical coordinator for the medical center.

Lewis said Johnson was also interviewed Saturday.

Police learned Nolen was fired for ‘numerous reasons’ involving ‘personnel issues,’ Lewis said, adding that he didn’t know the specifics.

Police asked the FBI to help investigate Nolen after co-workers told investigators he had recently started trying to convert several employees to Islam. Lewis said police asked the FBI to look into Nolen’s background because of the nature of the attack, which followed a series of high-profile videotaped beheadings by Islamic State militants.

Mohammed said Nolen had attended services where sermons were delivered condemning such attacks.

‘In no way, shape or form did he represent Islam in this foolish act,’ Mohammed said.

In a statement, FBI Special Agent in Charge James E. Finch said the motive for the attack had not been determined, but that there is no reason to believe there was a threat to anyone else.

‘We don’t have any reason to believe there is any danger to the area,’ Lewis said.

According to Oklahoma Department of Corrections records, Nolen served time in prison and is on probation for assault and battery of a police officer. He also was convicted of cocaine possession with the intent to distribute in 2011.

The records show that Nolen has what appear to be religious tattoos, including one referencing Jesus and one in Arabic that means ‘peace be with you.’
