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.
Bump
Christianity is like pregnancy. It either is or isn't, there isn't any in between.
You keep forgetting one thing
Jacko is not black anymore
"he's hoping the ACLU, NAACP, Nation of Islam, etc will come running to his side"
That would be my guess.... not to say a savage murderer may not suddenly "get religion" when faced with what he's done, but I suspect this has a lot to do with his upcoming trial.... he'll now be the persecuted martyr of Muslim manhood."
Yup, Christian prison conversions are passe - asking for forgiveness is no fun. Announcing that allah made you do is more appealing, since you can justify the destruction of heathen and avoid entirely the notion of guilt.
Does this mean he is now a muslim terrorist?
Ping.........
Must be the 72 virgins.
Well why not. Seems they need a new poster child as fast as their zealots are dying. That's a good picture. Pass it around Afghanistan, hand the man an SKS, drop him off in the Pushtun and let him demonstrate his worth against real men of faith and honor. They'll have a real good time with him for all of around 12 minutes. Then the SOS can die a marter in his own mind, and rot in hell someplace where we won't pay for it.
Next week he'll convert to Judaism.. If he can find a Rabbi that dumb on the east coast.. should be no problem.. Should be easy to find a NOI salesman around "A JAIL"... Evidently he found Jesus and Jesus said talk to the hand.. this guy must be a real sweetheart.. an injection can make it possible for him to talk to the big guy personally..
Ping.
The chapter of The Purpose-Driven Life that the gal read to him was about how "you were created to serve God." Divorced from the context of the rest of the book, that statement is consistent with Islamic theology (which is about as ridgidly predestinarian as any Calvinist Christian).
I'm not surprised, not in the least!!
Yes, many prisoners convert to Islam or neo-Nazism. ...same thing.
The answer is YES !!
I want him converted to dirt instead.
Calling Saint Ashley: Time to break out "The Purpose Driven Life" and the pancake mixer! Schadenfraud!
He started doing that March 11.

LOL!!!
Schadenfreude!
Don't ya' just love to be so right?
Looks like you're not getting flamed now.
I still would like to know what really happened during Pancake Time. That story got very quiet.
