Was it terror? Somali refugee student shot dead after mowing down Ohio State classmates
Daily Mail ^ | 11-28-16 | Ashley Collman

Abdul Razak Ali Artan has been identified as the assailant behind a stabbing attack at OSU's Columbus campus Monday morning He has been described as a Somali refugee and a logistics management student at the school Fire alarm was pulled at Watts Hall just before 10am and Artan reportedly mowed down evacuating students and staff with his car He then got out of the vehicle and started slashing victims with a knife injuring 11 - including one critically Responding OSU police officer Alan Harujko, 28, shot Artan dead Police stormed a nearby parking garage looking for additional suspects

While the motive for the attack is still under investigation, there are questions about whether Artan may have carried it out in jihad, since he is Muslim. Somalia has become a haven for terror groups - including ISIS - since civil war broke out in the 1990s. And Columbus has one of the largest contingents of Somali refugees in the U.S.

Artan, reportedly a logistics management student, was pictured by the school's student newspaper The Lantern on Twitter this afternoon. He was interviewed by the paper back in August about his faith.

In the piece, he said that he struggled to find a private place to pray on campus, after transferring from Columbus State which had such facilities.

'This place is huge, and I don't even know where to pray. I wanted to pray in the open, but I was kind of scared with everything going on in the media.

'I'm a Muslim, it's not what the media portrays me to be. If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don't know what they're going to think, what's going to happen,' Artan said.

“’This place is huge, and I don’t even know where to pray.”

Now you can pray all you want burning in hell.

'I'm a Muslim, it's not what the media portrays me to be.

The "media" portrays you to be a loving, kind, peaceful little "refugee."

The rest of us portray you as someone who would commit mass murder in the name of your so-called religion.

WHO WAS RIGHT?

If he was scared....why didn’t he go home? Who in his hometown of Pakeestan made him leave? who was oppresing him there?

Kasish said something to worry about the families of the injured too. Kascih.....how is the hunt going on for the brutal murder of that family when you where running for prez? Find the killers yet? have you even tried?

Wow, the irony was strong in this one.

I saw the POS during a news conference this afternoon. He was standing behind the speaker and was switching from foot to foot, clenching and unclenching his jaw, blinking a lot... He’s still a greasy spaz.

Yep.....I do like his most current pic though, before they pixeled it. Better than his live one. Is that mean? Nope.
