What Is the "Ismail Ax"?

Reports are surfacing about the Virginia Tech shooter, Cho Seung-Hui, that with the suicide note police found, they also found the words *Ismail Ax* written in red ink on the inside of one of his arms.

What does *Ismail Ax* mean?

After making sure that nobody was left in town, Ibrahim went towards the temple armed with an ax. Statues of all shapes and sizes were sitting there adorned with decorations. Plates of food were offered to them, but the food was untouched. "Well, why don't you eat? The food is getting cold." He said to the statues, joking; then with his ax he destroyed all the statues except one, the biggest of them. He hung the ax around its neck and left.
--The Koran

Ismail was Ibrahim's son. It was Ismail that Ibrahim wanted to sacrifice for Yahweh (with an ax).

Praise be to the Bangkokker for enlightening me.

And there is this from a play Cho Seung Hui wrote, entitled, "Richard McBeef"

Guess what, dick. You wanna know something. You wanna know why I don't like you? Because you can't provide for my mom. You barely make the minimum wage, man. All you do for mom is all this honey-poo shit. Honey-poo! Honey-poo! You piece of shit! You were a janitor one time. You're a one time truck driver. You taught preschool kids for two months. And now you're what you like to call yourself a chef, what the rest of the world calls a hamburger flipper. Back where you came from. The pinnacle of your career was when you were a pro football player. How long did that last? Three weeks! Ha! You're over the hills, buster! Just look at yourself, all fat and lazy. Only if you were smart enough to stay in the laegue, you wouldn't be like this. A former player. No wonder your name is McPork--I mean--McBeef. While the guys were packing on muscles, you were packing on McDonald's fat, chowing down on three Big Mac's in three minutes. You wanted me to call you dad? Okay. Hey dad, you are such an asshole. Asshole of assholes, Dad! And as for you banging my mom, looks like that lasted as long as your pathetic career, you prematurely ejaculating piece of dickshit. Sucks to be you, you motherfucking McBeef.

Richard--How dare you talk to your step-father like that!

John--Eat this, you giant tree trunk piece of ass.

(John sticks his half-eaten banana cereal bar in his step-father's mouth and attempts to shove it down his throat)

Richard--AHHHHHHHHHH!

(He pushes John away and takes out the cereal bar)

John--Fuck you, Dad!

Richard

(out of sheer desecrated hurt and anger, Richard lifts his large arms and swings a deadly blow at the thirteen year old boy)

Are you getting the impression that this lunatic had daddy issues?
