SOUTHFIELD, MI - Southfield police have arrested a 39-year-old man who allegedly stabbed two other men multiple times at a bus stop near Northland Mall in Southfield Saturday night.

Terrence Lavaron Thomas, of Detroit, will be arraigned on charges of two counts of assault with intent to murder, one count of carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent and one count of possession of marijuana.

Thomas's bail was set at $1 million cash or surety bond.

According to police, Thomas attacked the victims, a 52-year-old man and 51-year-old man from Detroit, after he "made several comments about his religion and asked the victims about their religious beliefs just before the assault occurred."

Nick Loussia, Deputy Chief of Police for the Southfield Police Department, said Thomas "is Muslim, and asked the victims what religion they were" before allegedly attacking them.

And Barack Obama is preparing a statement denouncing the attacks even as I type this...

...or not.

Most likely the "or not" will apply.

He is preparing a statement saying this guy looked like one of his sons

...or not.

Glad that this nut didn’t succeed in killing them. Enough blood has been spilt on account of Allah.

Too bad someone didn’t go Bronson on his ass. Now he’ll sit in jail, and convert other inmates to islam on the taxpayer dime.

Again the media including the Washington Compost want the sheeple to believe that this was a hate crime against muslims when the facts show that this was a hate crime against non-muslims!

WaPo Falsely Implies Detroit Stabbing Was Hate Crime Against Muslims

Last weekend, police report that a Muslim man from Detroit stabbed two bystanders at a bus stop after he asked if they were Muslims and they said no.

In Tuesday’s coverage the Washington Post featured a headline with the word “Muslim” in it—but one that obscured the story’s meaning entirely.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Post published a story titled, “Man stabs two at a bus stop after asking them if they’re Muslim.” The story correctly informed Post readers that police arrested Terrence Lavaron Thomas after last Saturday’s attack. Southfield Police Chief Eric Hawkins said that Thomas was “engaged in conversation” with two people at a bus stop outside Detroit. During the conversation Thomas “asked some of the folks there if they were Muslims.”

Police say that when the bystanders told him they weren’t Muslims, he “was not happy with that answer.” He then pulled out a “3-inch folding knife” and allegedly attacked them.

One of the victims was stabbed five times. Neither victim had life-threatening injuries.

But while the Post’s story does contain the alleged non-Muslim targeting which is key to the story, it has not been reflected in the article’s headline or lead paragraph—even after the paper updated the headline to address outrage on social media. It now reads, “Police: Man stabs two after asking about religious beliefs.”

The Post did append a notice that informs readers that its headline “has been updated,” but there is no explanation of why the change was made.

Few other news sources seemed to have any compunction over listing “Muslim” in headlines or in their stories, though one local Michigan paper didn’t seem to find the religious title of any interest at all and left “Muslim” out of both its story and headline.

MLive.com, a large Michigan media company, reported on the suspect’s question to the victims—but did not include the fact that the alleged attack began after they said they were not Muslims.
