Ive debated whether to write yet on the Oklahoma beheading case given how few facts are available, but a few people have asked me so here are some initial thoughts: 1) As always, in any case, we begin by shining a light not on the sensational, but on the suffering . Begin by focusing on the victim (Colleen Hufford) and her family, in addition to the other woman injured, Traci Johnson. 2) Insist on having a thorough criminal investigation. This is a workplace violence, until proven otherwise. 3) The suspect, , has a long criminal history, including assault on police and drug use that long predated his alleged conversion to Islam. docapp065p.doc.state.ok.us/servlet/page?_pageid=394&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&doc_num=634241&offender_book_id=391688&imageindex=5 4) Muslim community has quickly condemned this atrocity, including CAIR: https://youtube/watch?v=74Rx55H9U5A 5) Exercise extreme caution and skepticism against the FOX News attempt to see this action as a justification for our bombing of Syria/Iraq. Fox is already on the ISIS comes to America routine, even displaying the notorious Islamophobe Steve Emerson. 6) Pray hard, then organize and mobilize. I sadly fear that this will lead to a nasty wave of fear-mongering. The only way to stop that is through education, mobilization, and effective outreach. #oklahomabeheading #Foxnews
