Cho indicated in his letter that the end was near and that there was a deed to be done, the official said. He also expressed disappointment in his own religion, and made several references to Christianity, the official said.
It’s probably the name of some garage band in his neighborhood.
“his own religion” is apparently NOT Christianity, then. Wonder what it is?
Seung expressed disappointment for Christianity in his note before the bloodbath.

Hmmm....reference to Ismael and his ax, a story known to Muslims.
Attacks made on Holocaust Remembrance Day, April 16th.
Kills a prof who was a Holocaust survivor.
Shoots unarmed innocent civilans en masse.
No, no religion of peace angle here. Move along now......
‘Islamic’?
Sorry, but I don't buy that for one minute. Of course he registered it for a reason, and what would that be, certainly not out of goodwill.
just some word and letter play..
what was his field of study? he was a senior.
Christian Ishmael = Jealous, hateful, evil
Muslim Ishmael = Kind, innocent
The Isaac parts get swapped basically. The Christian Ishmael is vindictive and angry at Abraham for favoring Isaac.
English. And a 23 year old senior.
“He also expressed disappointment in his own religion, and made several references to Christianity, the official said.”
This is extrememly obscure, and poorly written. Yes, it could mean he is disappointed in Christianity, but what it says is, He is disappointed in his OWN religion? and then makes references to Christianity.
In any case, my personal guess is the guy was inhabiting his own fantasy world. Who knows what he thought his religion was.
Ishmael- God listens
ax- symbol of bloodshed (a more brutal weapon than a sword... suggesting carnage)
God Listens to Carnage.
Ok I mean Jewish, not Christian but the story does get re-cast between faiths.
Interesting... sad to say, but your thoughts sparked one in my mind. Maybe our literate friend felt compelled to (or got wrapped up in) a “Da Vinci Code” like murder mystery?
(PS, find Ismail.....)?
My theory is that it translates to “Ishmael acts”... Ismael being the son born to Abram on the wrong side of the sheets. Maybe he felt alienated or denied like Ishmael.
