[Capt. Tom]

"Ismail Ax" was written in red ink on his arm, and was the name used to sign his suicide note. Doesn't sound very Korean to me.

Ismail is the Muslim spelling.
As in Ismail Haniyeh the present head of HAMAS. - tom

[navysealdad]

You are like Ibrahim! Sacrifice your Ismail. Put the knife to his throat with your hands...Save the throat of the people from being cut-the people are always sacrificed at the doors of palaces of power, and temples of torture. PUT THE BLADE AT YOUR SON’S THROAT SO THAT YOU MAY TAKE THE BLADE FROM THE EXECUTIONER’S HAND! But ... Allah will pay the ransom of your Ismail. You do not kill and do not lose your Ismail. THIS IS TO TEACH YOU THAT YOU SHOULD BE READY TO SACRIFICE YOUR ISMAIL (LOVE) IN YOUR OWN HANDS FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR FAITH!...”

[Rutles4Ever]

Thus, “Ishmael (Islam) the Ax?”
