It was reportedly scrawled in red ink on the arm of the Virginia Tech gunman after his shooting rampage that left him and 32 others dead. It was written on an overnight postage Seung-Hui Cho sent between the two shootings. .....a variation of it appeared on a file ....sent to NBC that included Cho's rambling, hate-filled video, incoherent written messages and photos. While there's no clear explanation of its meaning, the Internet is abuzz with speculation about the meaning of the phrase "Ismail Ax" on Cho's arm, "A. Ishmael" on the package and "axishmiel" on the file.

I’m reminded of my dog chasing his tail.
“Call me Ismail”
Having viewed a fairly detailed graphic of the shipping label, I’ve been saying for the last two days that the return address on the label was A. Ishmiel, not Ishmael or Ishmail. The spelling on the file name seems to confirm that. If you look closely at the return address on the label, you can see a small dot over the fifth letter, making it an ‘i’. As a result, it matches the file name, and raises questions about the accuracy of the reporting on the ‘arm logo’.
in this sick SOB’S mind it had a meaning and someone with his pc or writings will figger it out.
There’s also the post I made about the Neo-Nazi symbols that Cho used —

Cho had all sorts of “connections” — but he was never a “member” of any of these connections. It was mainly in his head (like his imaginary girlfriend, called Jelly). He just borrowed these symbols and attached them to his mixed up thinking and twisted concepts he had.
So, you have a “smattering” and a “smorgasbord” of so-called “radical ideas” that he “used”....

You said — “Having viewed a fairly detailed graphic of the shipping label, I’ve been saying for the last two days that the return address on the label was A. Ishmiel, not Ishmael or Ishmail.

I would be willing to bet, that when you were looking at that detailed graphic of the shipping label — you never picked up on the “Neo-Nazi” symbol[s] in it — either....

So dark the ax of Ismail
You said — “I’m reminded of my dog chasing his tail.”
Yep, that’s what it showed in his last CAT scan. They wondered how the dog got in there.... :-)
Cho Seung Hui is Keyser Söze.
Somene posted about this before, only he changed the X to a K and then he posted information about a shrink that treats the mentally ill named, Ismail Ak.
He is in Turky.
You said — “It was Isaac, not Ismael or whatever, that God commanded Abraham to sacrifice as proof of his loyalty and obedience (Genesis 22).”
Ummmmmm...., in case you hadn’t noticed before — *this very thing* is one of the main points of contention between Judaism and Islam. They have argued over this point from the beginning.
Study up on Islam and see...

Well, there's more to it than that, and it is only one hypothesis among several possible.
Here is my thread to which you refer:
lol, OK, that’s a keeper.
Don't forget November 22, 1963.
You have no idea how far up this thing goes.
I think he was just one lone crazy man.
