Alton Nolen suspected of beheading co-worker, Colleen Hufford. Our government is classifying this as a act of workplace violence. Alton Nolen is an Islamic extremist. Nolton converted to Islam in prison, he has Islamic tattoos, he was attempting to convert co-workers to Islam, he has posts about Islamic extremism and posts about Osama Bin Laden and the 9/11 attacks on his Facebook. Nolen also shouted Islamic extremist phrases during the attack. Everything points to Islamic Extremism and yet our government calls it workplace violence.
The government does not want to admit an ISIS recruit did the beheading to show his support for ISIS and ISIS is a real threat to the United States. It is what I have referred to previously as damage control. Our government does not want to publicly admit ISIS is a immediate threat to the Homeland. Nolen committed the beheading and assault on his co-workers to show his support for ISIS. Yes, he was angry when he committed the crime, but that doesn't change the nature of the crime. Most likely, he already had planned to commit such a crime. He carried the crime through with little or no thought, which tells me the thought had already existed in his mind. He just may have committed the crime earlier than he had intended and the situation it occurred in was just an open opportunity to commit the crime.
Call the crime what it is, an act of terrorism. Calling it workplace violence is doing a disservice to Nolen's victims and the victims families.
