Could he be referring to himself as Ismael’s Ax (or weapon)?

That would be the obvious rendering of the words. I expect some psycho-babble bs to come from the investigation, probably the FBI in fact.

I remember the operation against terrorists who killed Israeli athletes in Munich was called Gideon Sword. Given usual derivative nature of islamists’ terminology, “Ismail Ax” could be a play on “Gideon Sword”.
A professor murdered in VA Tech, I believe, was an Israeli.

"Ismael’s Ax (or weapon)?" Makes no sense, Ishmael was an archer. (Genesis 21:20)

The Muslims believe that Abraham (Ibrihim) was going to sacrifice Ishmael (Ismail) instead of Isaac and use an ax instead of a knife. Viola!-The Muslim expression Ismail(s) ax.
