Atlanta courthouse shooting suspect Nichols converts to Islam
Ramblings' Journal ^ | 5.9.05 | Michael King

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.

So does islam make people criminals, or are criminals drawn to islam?

What would you expect from a religion created by a marauding pirate known for raping and pillaging wherever he went?

Thank God...he finally found a religion that suits his character...

Exactly. The values of vengence and hatred that drove him to murder should fit perfectly with his new faith.

So I guess he never got through reading "Purpose Driven Life"

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

No, but maybe he did finish reading the "Jihad Driven Life."

And based on his personal experiences, I bet bin Laden will be soooooo proud of him!

Nah, not a legislator. Grand Ayatollah Anthony Kennedy will make the ruling based on precedent set by a Sharia court in the Magic Kingdom (Saudi Arabia).

Considering the magnitude of his crimes, Islam is the right religion.

"Fruits of Islam bodyguards." How appropriate.
