According to broadcast reports this evening, Brian Nichols, the suspect in the Fulton County Courthouse shootings in Atlanta on March 11, has had a jailhouse conversion to Islam.
Nichols, who was indicted last Thursday on 54 charges, including four counts each of murder and felony murder, has requested -- and received -- permission to talk to a local Imam. Nichols will be allowed to pray in accordance to the tenants of Islam as well.
The indictment includes 18 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, 7 counts of kidnapping, and five counts of hijacking a motor vehicle.
As you'll remember, Nichols was being readied for a rape trial when he overpowered and severely injured his guard, entered the courtroom and shot to death Judge Rowland Barnes and the court stenographer. Nichols subsequently escaped the courthouse, killing a Fulton County Sherrif's deputy, and later killing a US Customs agent before his capture in Gwinnett County.
Fulton County DA Paul Howard has stated that he plans on requesting the death penalty in Nichols' case.
Double-barrelled Mega-PING! to both lists! If you want on, FReepmail me!
I guess the Christian witnessing in the apartment didn't stick...
So I guess he never got through reading "Purpose Driven Life"
Just having a purpose is only so transformative. Evil has it's purpose too and is very cunning.
Oh, no. Hopefully it's just for survival in prison, and not because he's lost what little Christianity he seemed to display.
Thank God...he finally found a religion that suits his character...
Why am I not surprised?
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck...
This just makes it official.
I hope they have a rocket docket and put this man to death, sooner rather than later.
Of course he is...I would have been surprised if he hadn't
So does islam make people criminals, or are criminals drawn to islam?
This is the most useless "religion" ever. Its just an excuse for hatred and violance.... much like liberalism, strangely....
Ding! Ding! Ding! You're a winner!!
I am very curious as to what was behind this decision.
When the going gets tough, the tough go Muhammadan. At least the black guys in prison do. Prisons are a huge recruitment center for the cult of Muhammad worship.
I would be just as shocked if someone had told me he's a RAT...
A rocket docket! I hadn't heard that term before...but it's perfect.
Oh, before he's put to death some nutty legislator will pass a law that we can't give anyone who is converted to Islam the death penalty. Just watch...
