Talk:Ismail Ax

Cyber alias?
These literal suggestions as to what "Ismail AX" means seem ultra-speculative to deserve being on this page right now. So far the only thing I've heard officially is that there's speculation that this could be a cyber alias. But since the official word is still speculation, I don't see why this is an individual page right now. Just saying. Efrafra 19:49, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Citation?
I also can't find this Koran reference in the searchable online versions I've found. I'd like to see a chapter & verse citation. Mlitty 03:23, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I did find similar information relating to what is claimed in this article on the internet. However, I too would like to know where exactly this is in the Koran.

Moby dick
why was my part about the link to the character from Moby Dick deleted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael_%28Moby-Dick%29

The following seems relevent since he was a social outcast and an english major

From the wikipedia artle on Moby Dick: "The name has come to symbolize orphans, exiles, and social outcasts—in the opening paragraph of Moby-Dick, Ishmael tells the reader that he has turned to the sea out of a feeling of alienation from human society."

NBC Manifesto
The package recieved by NBC that was sent by Cho was sent under the guise of A. Ismail, which could explain why it was written on his arm. However, this does not describe the significance of "Ax." On the other hand, in Asian countries such as Korea, China, and Japan, the surname is written before the given name. Thus, by using the name "A. Ismail," when purchasing the gun, and writing "Ismail A.," or rather "Ismail Ax," on his arm may have some significance with leading us to believe that it refers to a name of some sort. Being an Arabic name (perhaps among other such cultures), Ismail may refer to such cultures' views of America. (For example, one who resides in a middle-eastern country and shows strong dislike toward Americans.)

 * I agree with you on that. -Scientz 08:34p, 19 April 2007 (EDT)
 * I agree as well; there's probably not going to be so much information coming in on this that it can't be stuffed into the main article on Cho. -Phoenix 01:04, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Same goes for the alternate capitalization Ismail ax. Matt Gies 02:05, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I set it to redirect to the Cho article once but it kept making a comeback. I then figured that if it's one of the top searched terms on the internet, whats the point of redirecting back to the info that is creating the search in the first place. The nonsence speculation that keeps getting added to the article needs to stop however. --I already forgot 02:13, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
