This I don’t pin on Islam. He could have converted to any faith. Being a mental case came first.
There are three books that I have read that basically made no sense, that were written by madmen. My Struggle by Hitler, On Capital by Marx, and the Koran.
Yeah. No connection, nothing to see folks, move along.
While I'm not completely immune to your logic it seems rather clear this guy only perpetrated this type of crime after conversion to Islam.
I agree with you. I read somewhere, when people were navel gazing about Lindh (American Taliban) that it was curious that his family did not note or take interest in his conversion to a Muslim faith because, while numerous conversions to various faiths are legitimate, it can sometimes be a marker for personal rejection your family, culture. Said another way, this man probably had mental disorders (yep, plural) and was growing increasingly rage filled and began taking steps to distance himself. I think it’s likely he began harboring thoughts of killing them before he became a Muslim. Sort of an excuse to kill when our culture would never accept this behavior.
It kind of reminds me of a aboriginal tribal shamans who used to make a show of getting drugged up on the local hallucinogenic plants in order to excuse several hours of violence and rage and prophecy they had in mind etc.
It’s like a bloody ‘the devil made me do it’ way of attempting to escape his own vile evil.
Yes. In fact, feeling the urge to convert to Islam at this point in history, when you’re living in Texas and have (apparently) no Muslim family background, is a sure sign of pre-existing mental illness.
“…A family member told police she believed that anger and Thomas’ conversion to the Muslim religion influenced his actions…sister, Ka’Tara Price, 24, of Houston, said she believes anger and Thomas’ conversion to the Muslim religion influenced his actions.” Imagine that, how is such possible!
Okay, and why not? Islam makes this all possible, has it built right into its precepts, practices and dogma, and is condoned by all who actively participate. However, while he could have done this under any construct, he did it under the same ol same ol stuff that does this worldwide. I suppose you also believe that major Airliners just drop out of the sky… because someone says they do.
Agreed. Seems his conversion wasn’t complete as he allowed himself to be captured in fear of his own death at the hands of the neighbor whom held him with a life threatening weapon for Law Enforcement’s arrival.
It seems to me it wasn’t a religion based assault upon the family, but more a spontaneous action of someone quite disturbed.
The act of decapitation of the 2 year old Niece was similar to Islamic acts of violence, but then we read often anymore of that in actions by non-Muslim Mexican druggies.
My bet is the guy was/is nuts.

Come on...itsn't nekkid burglary commanded in the Koran? ;- )
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.I think he was upset that he didn't get an apostrophe in his name like his sister. Let me fix that...

Islam recruits, radicalizes and enables the most violent and antisocial urges of this criminal and unstable type.
The news has been full of similar Muslim "conversion" violence.
When have you last heard of a convert to Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism or Hinduism moved by his new "religion" to mass slaugther?
That was my first thought.
Yes, because we all know that Islam is a religion of peace. </disgusted sarcasm>
As other Freepers and myself have pointed out — Islam attracts such confused people, Islam’s teachings CREATE such confused people.
And ‘tolerance’ and quick excuses such as you provide are the common coin and doctrine in Islam too, so that Islam comes to tolerate those who develop and indoctrinate in the teachings of murderous rage, envy and jealousy.
That this crazy and murdering man had converted to Islam, prior to his murderous rampage, is an inseparable element of the crime.
Islam IS a mental illness.
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?
We can pin his converting to Islam to being a mental case, though.
