You have not provided a reason for believing the Jesus tattoos have anything to do with the beheading. There is no connection. The relevant connection is to ISLAM, to which he was a recent convert.
Which may or may not have anything to do with what happened. Being fired probably had a lot to do with it. After all, he went on the rampage right after being FIRED.
It's STUPID to engage in Islam-bashing when we don't know all the facts.
It's STUPID to not consider it when the method of murder was one that is frequently practiced by those of his chosen religion AND the fact that one of the reasons he was fired was for trying to convert co-workers while at work.
The method of execution (beheading) is particularly associated with Islam in our era. In case you haven't been paying attention, there have been a number of high-profile cases recently. You think it's a coincidence that he converted to Islam, was trying to get coworkers to convert, and then beheaded a woman? No, it's no coincidence.

It may not have been the method of murder.
We don't know what the police mean by "beheaded", actually. We hear that word and we think it means completely severed. But that may not be the case here. And the kind of industrial knives in a food processing plant are designed to cut easily through tissue and bone. So Mr Nolen may not have meant to "behead" anyone. He may just have been so pumped up on rage, that he attacked the first person he saw, and went berserk, stabbing her over and over and over, with a tremendous amount of force. And even so, beheading isn't restricted to Islam. I cited a case of a woman who beheaded and dismembered her son, because the devil told her to. There's the case in Canada of a man who attacked a fellow bus passenger, unprovoked, stabbing him and severing his head from his body. These cases do happen, with no connection to religion at all. And we don't know if there is a connection in this case. What we do know is that a bunch of hateful people eagerly jump at the chance to bash a religion they have little knowledge of, and show zero compassion or empathy.
I think you're jumping to a lot of conclusions, without any foundation. That may seem relevant to you, but in the real world, relevance is proven with PROOF and FACTS. Not assumptions.

You sure are putting a lot of energy into creating a very elaborate and unlikely scenario to fit your agenda. Heads do not separate or fall off easily. Co-workers complained that the murderer had been trying to convert them while at work. You are fooling no one but yourself.
Religion of Peace ?
Couldn't be further from the truth.
Lots of Islam sympathizers in this thread.
I guess you guys would convert if pushed ?
