UPDATE: Roanoke County stabbing suspect was hearing voices before attack

The warrant says Wasil Farooqui told police he left his home on Pelham Drive Saturday "to clear his head" and took a butcher knife from the kitchen. He drove about a mile to The Pines apartments and parked. Farooqui said he began hearing voices telling him he was stupid and to attack people.

Snip

A source told CBS News that Farooqui has been on the FBI’s radar for several months and is believed to be self-radicalized. The source also told CBS News that Farooqui tried to go to Syria earlier this year, but only got as far as Europe.

That trip reportedly put him on the radar of law enforcement.

Witnesses told police that during the attack Farooqui was yelling “Allah Akbar.” That translates to “God is the greatest.” The law enforcement source told CBS the FBI is investigating whether the knife attack was possibly inspired by ISIS.

While officers were at the hospital Saturday, police say Farooqui came into the emergency room for treatment of his own injuries. He was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated malicious wounding.

That translates to “God is the greatest.”

*****************************

No, it doesn’t

It translates to Allah is greatest.

God and Allah are not related.

The voices he was hearing was Satan.

The same voices Mad Mo was hearing when he wrote the Koran.

What a wad of crap. First, the guy likely isn’t all that bright as he dropped out of HS. He went to Europe to try to get into Iraq or Syria. He just happened to take a butcher knife with him. All this and he was a random violence crazy man who had just self radicalized. The mosque he went to, his web sites, friends, etc had no influence on his prompting him to violence. Might just as well put him in the nuthouse for a year or so and then release him in the care of his Inman. Sounds like a plan.

Lawyer: Ok, so what did you tell the cops?
Farooqui: Well I was screaming Allahu Ackbar and...
Lawyer: Stop, rewind. Not anymore, you weren’t.

Well, hey, that’s why they called him “Kookie Farooqi,” had absolutely nothing to do with Islamic terrorism. Of course not.
