Since everything about him is obviously revealed on NBC's selected snippets of video, which part of his rant addresses the meaning of "Ismail Ax"? I must have missed it.
And Ismail Ax isn't Islamic. the Ax part is what's more important to find out about.
All of the crazy jumping to conclusions, here. these past few days, makes FR look silly.
Fox had a discussion about "Ishmael's Ax" on "Hannity And Colmes." They said the return address on the package to NBC had the reference as well as the same written on his arm. The reference comes from the Koran. Ishmael (or the Islamic name Ismail) was Abram's (later to be called Abraham) first son born to the slave girl, Hagar, when Abram was 86 years old. According to the Koran, it was Ishmael, not Isaac, that God commanded Abram to sacrifice on an altar with a knife. In some accounts it is a ax. Also, in accounts in the Koran, Abram is described as using an ax to destroy pagan idols in the Temple.
