For your “Your Tax Dollars At Work” files, we have this cheery story of an Oklahoma lawmaker, state Rep. John Bennett, who is very concerned about the possible threat Oklahoma faces from Radical Islamic Terrorism, especially the homegrown kind. Now, in a sane world, Rep. Bennett might look at Oklahoma City’s memorial to the 168 victims of the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building and rethink whether the state really has to worry quite so much about its Muslim population, which one 2015 estimate placed at about 30,000 statewide — less than one percent of the population. But that would be in a sane world, and we already told you this was a story about the Oklahoma legislature, where panicking about Muslims is almost as much a tradition as trying to put up unconstitutional Ten Commandment statues at the state capitol.
Rep. Bennett submitted a proposal to study the "current threat posed by radical Islam and the effect that Shariah Law, the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadist indoctrination have in the radicalization process in Oklahoma and America.
Why does Oklahoma need to worry about Radical Islam? Well, isn’t it obvious? Bennett explained that "Oklahomans have already been killed in the name of Islam, so there’s a need and the threat is very real […] For someone to say we don’t need to do that, they’re either part of the problem or they got their head stuck in the sand. They need to stop what they are doing and either help or just be quiet."
Say, who in Oklahoma has been “killed in the name of Islam”? That would be the poor woman who was murdered by Alton Nolen, a co-worker who beheaded her and seriously injured another worker at a produce plant in 2014 after he’d been fired. The horrific murder quickly became “proof” to paranoids that Nolen was a radical jihadi with ISIS sympathies, although the local DA eventually decided it had more to do with Nolen hating white people than with jihad. Nolen’s case still hasn’t gone to trial because despite his attempt to plead guilty in February of this year, his court-appointed attorneys argue that he’s mentally incompetent to stand trial. But as we all know, only white Christian killers have mental illnesses, while black Muslims are instruments of international terrorism. So there’s your wave of radical Islam in Oklahoma: an unstable ex-convict with a history of violence who started attacking people at his workplace after getting fired.
