Authorities in California on Thursday released the identity of the suspect killed by police following a knife attack that left several college students injured this week.
While there has been no official mention of a possible motive for the attack, a number of online commentators have speculated based on the suspect Faisal Mohammad’s Islamic name.
Faisal Mohammad was such a peaceful Muslim that he gut stabbed his victims instead of chopping their heads off. What a sweetheart

In response to an article on TheBlaze, one reader opined that such attacks on U.S. soil should have been predicted.
“The same terrorist stabbings that are taking place in Israel,” the commenter wrote. “Did people really think it would stay confined to just Israel and the Jews?”

A few social media users also noted the media narrative that followed the attack.

Developing reports indicate Mohammad was an 18-year-old student at the University of California at Merced, the site of Wednesday’s attack. Four individuals – including two students – were stabbed in the incident. As of Thursday morning, reports indicate one of the students remained in the hospital, and the other has been treated and released.
The other two victims, a college employee and a construction worker, were also taken to the hospital for treatment. While the former required surgery for a collapsed lung and was convalescing as of Thursday, the latter was released after receiving medical care Wednesday.
