Apparently James Holmes has converted to Islam to justify the massacre he committed as some sort of Islamic jihad. I’m sure Allah would be proud:

WASHINGTON TIMES – The man who shot up an Aurora, Colo., movie theater during a screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” last summer has reportedly converted to Islam and prays up to five times a day.

A prison source say the beard James Holmes sported in court last months represents his new-found faith. The source said Mr. Holmes has turned Muslim as a way of justifying his horrific crimes on July 20 which left 12 people dead and 58 people wounded, the Daily Mail reports.

“He has brainwashed himself into believing he was on his own personal jihad and that his victims were infidels,” the source told the National Enquirer.

Mr. Holmes now prays five times a day, sticks to a strict Muslim diet and spends hours each day studying the Koran, the source told the Enquirer.

Didn't he get it backwards?  Don't you first become a muslim and then you shoot people?

It's a fact that islam is a growing belief among prisoners.  Want to know why?  They are making it more difficult for Christian ministers to go into our correctional facilities, and are giving Imams a free pass!  This is a fact that is not only shameful, but dangerous for all of us!

Logical - sick mind that commits atrocity and mass murder joins sick political movement that does the same.   Birds of a feather.

Oh, f'ing please. This gimmick is an attempt to evade the death penalty. Wouldn't want the American Justice System to offend Islam, would we. The outrageous thing about this is that it will probably work considering the traitorous judges swimming the sewers in Colorado. All I can say is that if the state doesn't kill him, and they won't, the immigrants in the prison will for whatever sport.

There was a report somewhere a few years back that moslim clerics are going into prisons to preach to, and convert, the inmates. Beware!

Will they call it Jihad in the trial? What a peach.

A mass murderer wanting to adopt the 'religion' of mass murderers?

Really? No one saw this coming? May he get to his 72 pigs in hell QUICKLY! 

Let's be honest, there are some crimes where the death sentence is not only called for, but also the only appropriate punishment.

Surprising that inmates would deny believing in Jihad.   NOT.

This is an integral part of being Muslim.  You can not be Muslim and not believe in it.  The closest you can get is to believe now is not the time to perform it.

This "religion" NO this political movement is not compatible with democracy or a republic like America.

"But most Muslim inmates are not happy with the convict’s new religion. None of them condone forms of terrorism or extremism,” the source added. “And they don’t want their religion to be connected to that awful shooting.”

M'kay...  Good point... President Bush said the exact same thing.  Islam is a religion of peace.  That settles it.  And Muslim thugs in prison reiterating what Dubbya says double settles it.

Now that I agree with!  I don't give a rat's rear end whether he's crazy as bat guano, muslim or perfectly sane.  He took away the lives of several people in cold blood, he needs to swing from the end of the rope.

I was happy to see the judge denied a change of venue for Hasan - which means the death penalty is on the table still.

Sounds like he got a leftist lawyer.  Though I suppose one would have to be a relativist to defend such a case. :\

Does it matter that the original source of this story is the National Enquirer?  WT & Breitbart have picked it up from the Daily Mail who sources it to the National Enquirer.  The link goes back to NE but a search of their site doesn't bring up any kind of story on Holmes converting to Islam.  So... we have a 'source' unnamed that says he's converted and a link to a supermarket rag.   Is this what passes for journalism now?  Do we even have any real reporters anymore?

My point is that the Daily Mail reporter is unnamed, the source is unnamed and the link back to NE doesn't bring up any story to tie to anyone...  Just a 'source'.  That's not journalism.

John Edwards would have been eaten alive by the media because he would not have won against McLame.

""Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper signed gun bills into law Wednesday that ban ammunition magazines holding more than 15 rounds and require background checks for firearm purchases made online or through private parties.

The laws, which take effect July 1, were signed by the Democratic governor the day after Tom Clements, executive director of the Colorado Department of Corrections, was gunned down in his home and on the eight-month anniversary of the mass shootings at an Aurora movie theater that left 12 people dead and nearly 60 wounded.""
