The California college student who stabbed four people last month in a campus spree that ended when he was killed by campus police was described by his roommate as "an extreme Muslim" and carried a manifesto and a photocopy of an ISIS flag -- more than enough to convince John Price he was a terrorist. Yet, more than a month after the Nov. 4 attack at University of California Merced, local and federal authorities continue to insist that Faisal Mohammad, 18, carried out the vicious attack because he'd been banished from a study group. Price, whose son Byron Price, a...

Amid rapidly-deteriorating relations between the two countries, Sweden's prime minister has come under fire for declaring that the recent spate of stabbing attacks in Israel are not terrorist attacks. Speaking to the Swedish TT news agency, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said of the Palestinian attacks, which have claimed the lives of 22 people and left hundreds more wounded in just over two months: "No, it is not classified as [terrorism]." "There is an international classification regarding what constitutes or does not constitute [terror]. As far as I know, the [stabbing attacks in Israel] are not defined as terror." ...

Just because the media isn’t reporting it, doesn’t mean it isn’t here. Every day we get more reports of pedestrian jihad. And it will only increase. Police say an off-duty officer shot the knife-wielding Muslim at Washington’s Union Station when he refused to drop his weapon and charged the cop. Rashad must have been juiced by Paris. Sadly he is still alive. He was taken to the hospital.

Italian authorities said on Friday that security would be increased at "sensitive" sites across the country after a Jewish man was repeatedly stabbed on a street in Milan on Thursday night. *snip* There are suspicions that the assailant could have been an Arab woman.

Faisal Mohammad, the California college student who last week stabbed four people, was carrying an image of the black flag of Islamic State (ISIS) as well as a handwritten manifesto with instructions to behead a student and multiple reminders to pray to Allah, Fox News revealed on Wednesday. However, according to the report, authorities continue to insist Mohammad's motives had nothing to do with radical Islam. The 18-year-old, who was killed by a campus police officer to end the attack last Wednesday morning, was a loner who was incensed at being booted from a study group, according to Merced County...

Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=308AnrGNYS4 Footage has emerged showing the moment two young Arab terrorists - one of them aged just 11 - carried out a stabbing attack aboard a bus in Jerusalem's Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood Monday. A security guard was moderately wounded in the attack, but succeeded in shooting and injuring one of the attackers, while the second was detained at the scene. The attack was one of three stabbings or attempted stabbings in the capital Tuesday, ending a period of quiet in Jerusalem which lasted for several days. Shortly after the Pisgat Ze'ev attack an Arab terrorist was shot near the...

Another nice catch by Andrew Kaczynski and BuzzFeed to go with the old clipping of Carson’s mother telling a newspaper in 1997 that the stabbing incident most certainly happened. Nothing’s going to prove that definitively, but knowing for a fact that Carson was telling this story before he had any reason to (when he had every professional reason not to) is the next best thing. And every time one of Carson’s biographical anecdotes is tested and checks out upon close scrutiny, the impulse to believe him among those who are already well disposed to him and see him as...

Before the Muslim terror stabbing spree, Netanyahu had made repeated efforts to meet with the leader of the PLO. And for once, Abbas, the PLO leader, had not been averse to a meeting. Instead it was Secretary of State John Kerry who told Abbas not to meet with Netanyahu. Abbas went to the UN and disavowed the Oslo Accords. The first Muslim stabbings of Jews, with the encouragement of the PLO, began a few days later.

My son's classmate witnessed this incident. Said the guard was down on the floor because of the attack, but kicked the b(*& and shot her in the head. Unclear if she survived. I hope not.

The Fix has said this before and will say it again. This time with emphasis. The race for the White House is really a long, very expensive and highly consequential ad campaign. What else are candidates doing than trying to convince voters that they have the best ideas, the most ambitiously pragmatic solutions for the country's ills and, of course, the right combination of character, experience and other attributes to do the job well? And when it comes to advertising, social programming (or, if you prefer, stereotypes) and the human id are major parts of what makes consumers believe firmly...

The University of California Merced. Israel. Paris. And Morocco. All after jihadis called for stabbing jihad attacks. Seeing a pattern? EUROPEAN tourists have been horrifically attacked in broad daylight on a holiday in Morocco by men wielding knives when a sight-seeing tour turned to terror.

Graphic footage of the unprovoked attack’s aftermath reveals the badly injured victims in desperate need of hospital care. The footage also shows blood gushing from one...

Student, 18, who went on a school stabbing rampage which left four injured, planned to behead one of his victims and 'praise Allah' A California teenager who went on a stabbing rampage at his school injuring four, also planned to behead one of his victims it has been revealed. Faisal Mohammad, 18, a freshman who majored in computer science and engineering at the University of California, Merced, stabbed four people on Wednesday.

A two-page handwritten manifesto found in the pocket of Faisal Mohammad, the 18-year-old student who stabbed four people at a California college on Wednesday, details his specific plans for his murder spree. The deadly declaration included a numerical list of names of targets and how he wanted them to die — including beheading, cops said. “No. 27 was to ‘make sure people are tied down,’ No. 28 was ‘sit down and praise Allah,’” Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke Warnke told FoxNews.com. “I remember seeing four or five times, scribbled on the side of the two-page manifesto, where he wrote something...

The UC Merced student who stabbed four people during a campus rampage “intended to kill a lot of people,” according to authorities who found a detailed manifesto on his body. Merced County Sheriff Verne Warnke told the Sun-Star Thursday that the document found on the body of 18-year-old Faisal Mohammad included “a detailed list of his targets and his intentions.” The computer science and engineering freshman planned to stab a police officer, take that officer’s firearm and use it to shoot students in a dormitory, Warnke said. Mohammad’s motive appears to have been anger he felt over being “kicked out...

A stabbing rampage at UC Merced did not appear to be motivated by politics or religion and is not being considered a terrorist act, university and law enforcement officials said Thursday. Authorities named Faisal Mohammad, 18, of Santa Clara, as the assailant who was shot and killed by campus police after stabbing four people, including two fellow students. Mohammad was a freshman computer science and engineering student. “We have no reason to believe that this was in any way related to terrorism,” UC Merced Chancellor Dorothy Leland said at a news conference at the Merced County Sheriff’s Office. “It would...
