Muslim Converts - Before and After Mugshots



Back in 2004 the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office in Oregon started a project called Faces of Meth in which mug shots of persons booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center more than once for methamphetamine use were documented. They then released images of the change in physical appearance over time due to the use of the drug in before and after photos.

In a moment we will discuss how this relates to Muslim converts, but first, consider the following mugshots (click on any image for larger view:

I know what you are thinking: for such a short period of time, the changes are rather startling.

However there is something that causes ever more dramatic changes but not just in appearance but in personality as well. It changes one from a normal human being into a vicious, vile, savage beast. Guessed what it is? It's Islam.

Consider Michael Adebolajo, a once smiling schoolboy who, after Islam was introduced into his bloodstream, became Abu Hamza (1), a hate-filled maniac (before-photo courtesy Allvoices:

before and after mugshots - Muslim converts

I could fill this post with a thousand before and after photos of recent converts who have undergone Sudden-Jihad-Syndrome. So let me instead just mention a few examples: we recall that the attack last week on a French soldier (2) was by a recent convert to Islam.

Then there is recent Muslim convert Colleen Renee LaRose, aka JihadJane, who became a Muslim warrior swearing to become a martyr.

Can't carry liquids onto an airplane? You can thank Muslim convert Ibrahim Savant who was involved in the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot.

Some of my older readers may remember that Carlos the Jackal, the most famous terrorist of the 1970s, is a Muslim convert.

Then we have Muslim converts, and terrorists, José Padilla, Zachary Adam Chesser, Shoe Bomber Richard Reid, and on and on.

You never hear about recent converts to Christianity or Judaism or Buddhism suddenly plotting to blow up military recruiting centers (3), shopping malls (4), or subways and buses (5). But recent converts to Islam seem to go in that direction. Must be something in the religion.

Two converts to Islam were in police custody Friday morning in connection with a foiled terror plot on a military recruiting center in Seattle.

A man has been arrested by federal agents on charges of planning to set off hand grenades at an Illinois shopping mall on Dec. 22 as part of his plan to commit "violent jihad" against civilians.

Derrick Shareef, 22, of Rockford, was arrested when he carried out a rendezvous with an undercover agent in a parking lot to trade a set of stereo speakers for four grenades and a handgun.

...

Grant said Shareef, a converted Muslim, even went as far as to prepare martyrdom videos in case he didn't survive, and went through a sort of "purification process" to ready himself for the attack, which included shaving off his body hair.
