A Bellville, Texas man went on a killing spree and murdered 5 family members this past weekend. His fury was so intense that he decapitated his 2-year-old niece with a machete.

A family member told police she believed that anger and Thomas’ conversion to the Muslim religion influenced his actions. Chron.com reported:
A family dispute pushed Maron Thomas to go on a rampage marked by a fury so intense that he decapitated his 2-year-old niece with a machete after killing her and four other family members, Austin County investigators said Wednesday.
Thomas, 20, was charged Wednesday with capital murder in the shooting deaths of his mother, stepfather, sister, brother and his niece. He remains in the Austin County Jail with bail set at $1 million.
“This is one of the most horrific crimes we’ve had in Austin County,” District Attorney Travis Koehn said. “Austin County is a safe place to live, but unfortunately, we are not immune to the same kinds of crimes that occur in other locations.”
The massacre happened between midnight Saturday and 3 a.m. Sunday at the family’s home 7 miles outside the Bellville city limits, on FM 1456 between Buckhorn and Cochran.
Thomas then allegedly burglarized a car and was arrested around 3 a.m. after being caught trying to break into a house a mile and a half away while he was naked, investigators said. A neighbor held him at gunpoint until deputies arrived and arrested him on burglary charges. When deputies arrived, he had put on a pair of exercise shorts…
Thomas’ sister, Ka’Tara Price, 24, of Houston, said she believes anger and Thomas’ conversion to the Muslim religion influenced his actions. She said she is not aware of him suffering from any mental illness.
And are there any other heinous murders in the recent past you wish to muddy the waters still further with? Go man, go! There are excuses aplenty! The world is made full of them. You wish to confuse, eh, yes that is the easiest and most worldly rewarding of labors.
Yet still ... Islam welcomes such murderous souls, and that’s a big mistake to miss that in the murder of this family.
Reasonable analysis, to me.
Thx.
The religion of "piece(s)" again.
Not too often you find someone naked so either he is mental or on very powerful drugs which would make him mental. Islam might hve given him the idea of decapitation but doubt it had a lot to do with what he did?
“Thomas’ conversion to the Muslim religion influenced his actions. She said she is not aware of him suffering from any mental illness.”
Converting to Islam IS a mental illness! Just look at Grover Norquist for proof of that.
Nobody's missing the connection. But they have to be "murderous souls" to begin with, before Islam can attract and welcome them as such, and so Islam can't be blamed for the fact that they are murderous souls. Now in predominantly Muslim countries, where children are brainwashed from birth with violent ideas promoted by organized Islam, Islam certainly *can* be blamed. But not in Texas.

How many mosques ya got down there in Texas?
ticking time bombs
I think this case is similar to Andrea Yates. Remember when lefties screamed she killed her 5 kids because of her Christian faith and because she was a homeschooler?
Lets look at someone who speaks of how Islam affected him...
.....Dr.Tawfik Hamid... (attended college with Al Zawahiri and acquainted with him.).. a scholar on ISLAM...a medical Dr. specializing in Internal Med. and Psycology.
“When I began to follow the Muslim teaching in my country, (egypt) my personality became violent even though I came from a relatively rich and highly educated family, and I was very well educated.”
“This change in personality from a peaceful to a violent person who was ready to kill others did not happen to me alone, but also to most of those who sincerely followed Islamic teaching, regardless of their education and/or their financial circumstances.”
“The real cause of terrorism is what many Westerners do not want to hear-—the Islamic teaching itself.”

Give a mental patient a reason to do despicable acts, rationalize and justify it and if the correct mental illness you have a recipe for disaster. The Qur’an should be outlawed as a HUGE cultic book. But ummm it’s okay, the religion of pieces have only peaceful idealisms and shar’ia law is cool . At least it’s cool when American’s have NO idea what it’s like living under the shroud of fear.
Then I'd show the tape over in the Muslim countries to warn them that THIS is the retaliation they can expect for chopping people's heads off.
Equal punishment..only slow and deliberate.
Most decapitations in the Muslim world are not swift as we like to imagine...with a sword or macheti...rather the head ,limbs. or whatever is often done with an ordinary pocket knife or similar..literally sawing slowly and with no mercy whatsoever.
I think I am not so ‘quick’ to make excuses that I cannot pause to consider these instances on a case by case basis.
I consider Hasan’s murderous rampage the result of his commitment to Islam.
I consider this man’s murderous rage a result of his own issues and if he isn’t legally insane then he is ‘mere’ evil and if he is legally insane then it explains why a man would kill his own little niece and cut off her head with a machete. I think he is using the ROP (Religion of Peace) whose extremists have already committed more murderous evil than I can comprehend, to justify his own vile desire to kill, kill, kill.
You don’t have to be Muslim to commit murder, even heinous familial slaughter. We’ve experienced plenty of murderous rampages in our own country among persons of various backgrounds and faiths - I need not ‘resort’ to assuming if a man kills his family he must be Muslim.
The Muslim friends I have had have not possessed the desire to offend anyone, let alone kill them.
The fact that he converted to Islam prior to the murders is not separable from the crime but it need not be causal. In this case, I don’t think it is.
Maron Thomas—”a killing spree and murdered 5 family members this past weekend. His fury was so intense that he decapitated his 2-year-old niece with a machete.”
Another Islam is a death cult warning.
All Muslims should be expelled from the country as a national emergency security measure. We can worry about the hand-wringing from the hate America crowd later.
So, "Dog Bites Man" - this is headline news nowadays?
No confusion here. I don’t suffer of tunnel vision, and although I am quite pro dismantle, dismember, disassemble, wreck, ruin, and trash Islamists, I cannot turn my back as do you on the reality that is truth.
The guy is a nutcase pure and simple unless more information about his association with Islam is presented. It hasn’t been, therefore your speculation means nothing other than you don’t respect the truth.
You jumped up to say “Not related to being Muslim!”
That willingness to jump in with ready-conclusion based upon facts you simply do not know, to jump to the bad side so quickly, is something that the world of men is born into. But it is the mud to bake, form and build with, or else to wash off. It is not something to throw at others.
I said this sad event was related to being Muslim, because Islam attracts the confused in our times, and because Islam by lacking adequate self-levels of appropriate organizational self-criticism, and because it is founded in a horridly confused mythos and ‘teachings’, has come to encourage murderous philosophies and to train the confused in murderous hates, envies and jealousies.
Yes, this man was confused on his own — but within Islam his confusions were either pushed into murderous impulse or his pre-existing murderous impulse was encouraged. And yes, that was done ‘In Texas’. I do not jump up to confuse, or to capture others in any sort of sectarian hatred, or like you and others to spread the blame around, to make excuses.
I jump in here to say — YOU stop jumping in to defame others with a blame that properly is seated upon the adherents of the sect of Islam. And by so doing attempt to shut down a vigilance and wariness of that sect which is needed in our day.
Ah hah!! You didn’t look at my tagline - I’m not a sir!!!
Seriously I’ve always noticed that these most cold-blooded killers (mid-east terrorist, domestic serial killers and mass murderers,drug trade enforcers)have a similarity. They either have cold dead eyes - no emotion whatsoever or they have a wild eyed evil look - like this guy. His eyes remind me of Charles Manson. The eyes really are often the window to the soul.
Insanity occurs when one loses touch with reality. Islam teaches lies, so there’s no wonder why it’s proponents go crazy.
The so called “moderate Muslims” are most likely those who simply go along with their culture to keep their heads.
