Texas Man Converts To Islam: Slaughters 5 Family Members...

UPDATED

From Weasel Zippers:

A family dispute pushed Maron Thomas to go on a rampage marked by a fury so intense that he decapitated his 2-year-old niece with a machete after killing her and four other family members, Austin County investigators said Wednesday.

Thomas, 20, was charged Wednesday with capital murder in the shooting deaths of his mother, stepfather, sister, brother and his niece. He remains in the Austin County Jail with bail set at $1 million.

UPDATE -

There has been a little discussion here in the comments about whether this guy was just crazy. We all agreed that it is likely he was just crazy. However, we all also agree that people who are crazy and angry are more likely to convert to Islam.

Well, check it out. The guy's sister says he was not mentally ill:
Thomas' sister, Ka'Tara Price, 24, of Houston, said she believes anger and Thomas' conversion to the Muslim religion influenced his actions. She said she is not aware of him suffering from any mental illness.

"It's anger and pure evilness," Price said Wednesday night. "He's always been a very angry person. If he thinks he's right, he's right."...

Most people who convert to Islam in this country do so in prison, if I am not mistaken.
