Alton Nolen Allegedly Beheads Oklahoma Coworker After Firing

Beheaded or decapitate, they're just words. No need to make this terrible crime into anything more than it is. I doubt the family of that poor woman who was murdered cares which term is used.

Such nonsense! People get too hung up on words when there are far more pressing matters with which to deal.

if this is the start of this shit on our soil, it IS a pressing matter. Time to nip this in the bud. Having people beheaded at random is not acceptable.

How the media spins or ignores this will speak to how it will be 'handled'.

From initial CNN article:

Beheading raises questions, but officials say no terror link
The idea that a man who's been trying to convert others to Islam ends up beheading someone is alarming enough, but perhaps even more given what has been happening in the Middle East.

The Islamist extremist group ISIS has made a name for its itself using such tactics, going so far as to record the beheadings of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff as well as British aid worker David Haines.

And they've threatened more to come, especially if the United States and its allies continue to launch airstrikes at the group in Iraq and Syria. This has spurred concerns that ISIS sympathizers may similarly lash out against innocents in the West.

That said, it's not known if Nolen's religion had anything, at all, to do with what happened Thursday.

How would you go about doing that?

i'll pay my taxes and let the military take care of this for good.

Well, they've been doing a bang-up job of it so far. Just look at the decrease in fundamentalism with increased military involvement in the Middle East!

Perhaps we need to take it up a notch. Or six.

And what would you want our military to do? What is the 6th notch?
