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.
Hey, if all religions are equally valid roads to God, then Islam is just another choice of Faith Tradition among so many.
He's still gonna ride the needle. I wish he was gonna fry.
But I hope the True God gets him back.
I believe he already has, officially. He has them around him all the time too, in case you haven't noticed. I expect MJ will be well cared for in prison. The Simpsons ought to have a riot with that, the way they had a riot with Mike Tython in Prithon.
No more of a crime than if he had stepped on a bunch of cock-a-roaches.
Jesus would not say talk to the hand.
Before pancake time. yuk, yuk.
good point.
Perhaps he's "walking according to the flesh" these days. Maybe he's a schizo-Christian. Perhaps he never made it past the 29th day. There's all sorts of answers I'm sure we'll be told.
BTW-I see where some feel that after reading the PDL, it's main message is to "serve" God; as if God needs our service. What a distortion of the truth. We are to glorify God. A subtle but distinct difference lost on many today.
He did to Thomas..
What do you mean? He was exceptionally patient and kind with Thomas. And if Nichols wanted to repent and turn back to Him, He would never say "no."
LOOOOOOOL GOOD ONE @ THE JIHAD DRIVEN LIFE
Calling all Saint Ashley desciples! Hello? Helloooo?
Think so.?..
Its a holy spirit, unholy spirit thing..
The only holy about Nichols are the holes he put in a few folks.. and his credibility.. Nichols is then pretty Holey.. Jesus does not say yes or no.. he is was he is.. it is "finished", its up to Nichols to say yes or no.. Currently hes scamming Allahs boys.. you know, the unholy spirits.. Nichols himself is a hole, a black one at that.. no light escapes from this hole..
I'm listening. Go ahead.
I guess one religion is as good as the next.
Whatever shuffles the deck for you.
This man probably will be put to death. Let's hope he hasn't hurt whatever salvation he secured, if any, when he was with the young lady a month or two ago.
We need to spend a lot of time in prayer for this man that he see's the light.
You get the GOLD STAR for accuracy!
Nichols can BS men, he can't BS Jesus. If he is BS'ing him, why I'd have to say you're right. Jesus would say "talk to the hand cuz the ears ain't interested."
My husband just said the same thing last week.
Service, like everything good in our lives, is a result of God's regeneration. It is a sign of our salvation, not a requirement for it.
WOT???!?!? A murdering nutcase finds a friend in ISLAM??!??!
Well, I might just have to change my opinions about that 'religion'.
