While it's unclear when Nolen himself converted, his Facebook page abruptly changed from posts featuring song lyrics, talk about football and other topics to posts almost exclusively related to Islam in April 2013 -- shortly after he was released from prison.
Among the posts are screeds condemning the United States as "wicked" for failing to help Palestinians during the recent hostilities with Israel.
His last post condemned masturbation.




The Facebook page where Nolen posted under the name Yisrael -- confirmed by police to be his -- features a cover photo of fighters holding a machine gun and a rocket propelled grenade launcher.


It also features numerous messages related to Islam but offers no hint he was planning an attack or that it had anything to do with his religion.The law enforcement official who spoke to CNN on Monday said Nolen had watched beheading videos, but it was unclear if they were linked to ISIS.
