<foster...@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> "Ismail Ax" in red ink on the
inside of one of his arms.
.
Sources told the Tribune that the words "ISMAIL AX" were also found
written in red ink on the inside of one of Cho's arms.
The reference may be to the Islamic account of the Biblical sacrifice
of Abraham, where God commands the patriarch to sacrifice his own son.
Abraham begins to comply, but God intervenes at the last moment to
save the boy.
In the Jewish and Christian traditions, the son is Isaac, father of
the Jewish people; in Islam, it is his brother, Ismail (Ishmael in
Hebrew).
Abraham uses a knife in most versions of the story, but some accounts
have him wielding an ax.
A more obscure reference may be to a passage in the Koran referring to
Abraham's destruction of pagan idols; in some accounts, he uses an ax
to do so.
