Faisal Mohammad Latest Jihadist?

We now have the name and a photo of the stabber at UC Merced

Thank God his four victims will survive but for intel the stabber is dead

His name is Faisal Mohammad and the first question is this a jihadist inspired terror?

In the world of 24/7 news we must reject a rush to judgment to prevent error

Unlike the Ft. Hood shootings where Hassan was yelling Allah Akbar indicating an attack of jihadist style

Faisal may have been silent although one witness reported seeing Faisal during the stabbings with a big smile

The initial sheriff’s conference other than name contained little motive facts

The second question might be was he was he a Muslim and what mosque did he attend?

 What if any jihadist like statements on social media did he pen?

Merced is not the West Bank or Jerusalem and Muslims are not stridently being urged

To fulfill their sacred duty to  by gun, knife and bomb from these ancient lands Israelis purge

Even though the images of tear gas and numerous stabbings of Israeli soldiers and civilians have filled our TV screens

But a jihadist implication or rush to judging motives from the media and us we must try to wean

Justice and the police may move slowly but with the internet and social media there will be an expanded paper and electronic trail

I am convinced that in the search for correct answers of a jihadist link the police with our without the FBI will prevail.
