NEWARK, N.J. — Prosecutors say the man accused of killing a University of Richmond student Brendan Tevlin in New Jersey, in June, was on a “bloody crusade” to punish the United States government.

To mislead and misdirect.

crusade (n.) 1706, respelling of croisade (1570s), from Middle French croisade (16c.), Spanish cruzada, both from Medieval Latin cruciata, past participle of cruciare “to mark with a cross,” from Latin crux (genitive crucis) “cross.” Other Middle English forms were croiserie, creiserie. Figurative sense of “campaign against a public evil” is from 1786

He’s an American who is a convert to Islam, and I think they’re one of the most dangerous (to their fellow Americans) Muslim groups in the US. I’m just hoping they don’t hook up with the ISIS folks.
