CAPITOL attack suspect Noah Green reportedly tried to change his last name to Muhammed after calling himself a follower of the Nation of Islam and its leader Louis Farrakhan.
The name change petition was filed by Green, 25, in December 2020 - months before he rammed two Capitol police officers with his car on Friday, killing one, before being shot dead by cops.

Green was fatally wounded when at least one officer opened fire after he exited his Nissan Altima wielding a knife and aggressively lunged at police.
Mix jihad with racist grievance-mongering, this is what is going to result. Mon Apr 5, 2021 On Friday, a man named Noah Green crashed his car into a barricade at the U.S. Capitol building, hitting Capitol Police officers, one of whom was killed. Then Green got out of his car and charged at police officers with a knife. The establishment media was already gearing up to label the attacker a Trump supporter and treat us to a new round of “insurrection” propaganda when it came to light that Green was not a conservative or Trump supporter at all, but a black man and a member of the Nation of Islam. Rather than being an example of “white supremacist terrorism,” Green’s actions were a disquieting illustration of how the combination of race-grievance politics with Islam’s jihad doctrine can be lethal.
