Will Grigg, writing at lewrockwell.com, has taken umbrage at my views about the Muslim murderer who beheaded a woman at the Vaughan Foods plant where they had both worked.

Adam Nolton had converted to Islam and became an offensive salesman for his newfound religion. He became very agitated when coworkers were not interested in converting to Islam. He was let go because he was so disruptive.

That led to a massive loss of temper, prompting a murderous rampage. After ramming his car into some parked cars, he entered the company’s main entrance and set himself upon the first person he found. Hapless Colleen Hufford was the first person Nolton encountered on his evangelistic mission and quickly beheaded her with his knife.

He started slicing and dicing Traci Johnson, but did not get to the decapitation because one of the managers of the company, Mark Vaughan, arrived on the scene and shot the Muslim evangelist. Mrs. Johnson, happily, survived the ordeal.

On a radio talk show, I observed that Adam Nolton had attended the Oklahoma City mosque directed by Imam Imad Enchassi. Will Grigg has taken me to task because all of the sermons (that have been posted) by Enchassi are non-violent. However, a Muslim apostate, who knew Enchassi well, has said (using the nome d’guerre of Noor) that Enchassi gave many talks that were not made public. They advocated the obliteration of Israel and other commonly articulated Muslim themes of violence.

Imam Enchassi had received a community service award from Oklahoma-CAIR. CAIR is a group that the FBI has linked to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.

It would be very comforting to hear a denunciation by Enchassi of one of the more important Quranic verses, namely Sura 47:3-4: “Those who reject Allah follow vanities, while those who believe follow the truth from their lord. Thus does Allah set forth from men their lessons by similitude. Therefore when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners.”

Others have counted over 100 verses advocating death to unbelievers. One of them is this: Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176: Narrated by ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar: Allah’s Apostle said, “You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, ‘O ‘Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'” In Number 177 Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”

Mr. Grigg should be more careful in how he writes about Islam. Misunderstanding the murderous nature of the Quran can be a deadly mistake.

Historically, Islam has come with a murdering sword. Historically, Christianity has come with preachers calling on sinners to accept the mercy of a God who had His Son die for them that their sins might be forgiven.
