I typed Nichols warren prison muslim into Google and "I got links!"
Here are a few random links from that query: http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/local/article_1286106.php
Here's a snip from that link:In initial news reports, she failed to mention the methamphetamine she gave her captor. Also little publicized was Nichols' subsequent conversion to Islam. Despite Smith's admission, Warren said the drug had no effect on Nichols' decision to surrender himself. Instead, he said it was an example of how "God uses imperfect people." He said Nichols' conversion stemmed more from necessity "You gotta convert to Islam if you're in a prison" than belief.

Oh, this is rich. Here's a snippet from the above link:for some reason they didn't think it was all that important or relevant to point out to anyone later that his new "purpose in life" would be to follow Allah and deny his horrific homicides in court before the eyes of those who witnessed them. You see, Nichols not only converted to Islam in jail after the hostage incident, but also pleaded "not guilty" to the four murders he committed in front of numerous witnesses. (Unbeknownst to most Purpose Driven proponents and their prospects; without confession and repentance, there is no conversion to Christ.)

And here's a snip from the above:Ironically, as a guest himself on Larry King Live, Rick Warren called the much reported incident "a story of two redemptions," in spite of the fact that Nichols unrepentantly pleaded "not guilty" to those multiple courtroom murders and converted to Islam upon returning to jail; not to mention Ashley stating, with Warren at her side, that she had actually been a Christian since around the age of seven. .)
It wasn't really very difficult to find those links. What were you using, that didn't return any info for you?
Thanks for the links.
Brian Nichols Muslim Prison. Came up with the original story.
Once I changed my search criteria from "brian nichols muslim" to "brian nichols islam" I found some hits. The name Paul Proctor keeps coming up. I'll look at this tomorrow.
