Oklahoma Muslim who beheaded coworker says Qur’an commands beheading

Oklahoma Muslim who beheaded coworker says Qur’an commands beheading, by Tiffany Liou.

During the first interview, Nolen admitted to the crime on both victims, Colleen Hufford and Traci Johnson. They asked him about stabbing Johnson and he responded, “That was right after I beheaded the first woman.”

Nolen said in the interview that the Quran taught him that anyone who oppressed him should be beheaded, and he talked a lot about his own interpretation of the Muslim religion.

When asked if he felt remorse or regret for his actions, Nolen responded “no”. He said he would go to heaven.

Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn, meanwhile, says that Nolen “didn’t know the difference between right and wrong, and (he) didn’t know the consequences of his actions.”

Nonsense. He knows very well the difference between right and wrong. The Qur’an says “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4), and as far as he is concerned, that is right, and he knows that as a consequence of his actions, he will go to Paradise.

Mashburn is saying that standard Islamic belief is tantamount to insanity. Does he have any idea of how “Islamophobic” he is being?
