Despite the fact that Mohammad “was found to have an image of the ISIS flag, a handwritten manifesto with instructions on how to behead someone, and reminders to pray to Allah,” everyone who participated was sure that his stabbings had something to do with “images of masculinity” and nothing to do with Islam, and that only “Islamophobes” thought otherwise. This is no surprise. The University of California Merced is no different from any other campus all over the country: full of indoctrinated bots who have been thoroughly imbued with the notion that when Islamic jihadists attack us, it is our fault.
“UC Merced mourns stabbing spree attacker Faisal Mohammad, seeks to understand him,” by Jennifer Kabbany, The College Fix, November 18, 2015:
Many at the University of California-Merced are mourning the 18-year-old student who went on a vicious stabbing spree before being shot and killed by a campus police officer, with a “R.I.P” tribute to Faisal Mohammad on Facebook gaining massive support among the campus community.
Faculty also held a “teach in” Monday night that was conspicuously devoid of discussions of radical Islam, and instead delved into topics such as how society’s notions of masculinity pressure men.
After his rampage, Mohammad was found to have an image of the ISIS flag, a handwritten manifesto with instructions on how to behead someone, and reminders to pray to Allah, but the campus community appears to largely agree with authorities and university officials who insist his motives were grounded in revenge for being kicked out of a study group.
The student stabbed four people on the Northern California campus earlier this month before he was killed by the officer to end the attack. All four victims are expected to make full recoveries, the Merced Sun Star reports.
UCMercedEventThe “Don’t Turn Our Tragedy Into Hate” teach in, hosted by the critical race and ethnic studies faculty, focused in on subjects such as: “What does mental health have to do with this?”; “Why are men more likely to be perpetrators of violence?”; “How do we define our community – what lives are grievable?”; and “What do race and religion have to do with this?”
One speaker during the panel discussion delved into what she claimed was the quintessential example of manliness: “Middle class, able bodied, heterosexual, red meat, probably Christian,” she said, according to an audio recording of the event obtained by The College Fix.
“Anger, that is really what we think about when we think about emotional men,” she continued. “They are subject to social sanctions if they deviate from masculinity. If you are perceived as failing at it, you are subject to being called a fag, a pussy, a wimp, pretty much what women are, right?”
“So when you have this limited ability to sort of express your emotions and possible feelings of emasculation, of low self esteem, how do you really [deal with] that? A lot of times they … engage in violence. They need to compensate for their loss of masculinity in the most manly way they have access to, and unfortunately, a lot of times that’s Flowersviolence.”
A UC Merced student who attended the teach in said he could not believe the school’s event blamed the stabbing spree on “masculinity” and completely downplayed radical Islam.
“They just want to say it’s not Islamic terror,” said the student, a senior at the school who asked The College Fix to remain anonymous for fear of “retribution”RIPFM for speaking out.
“They were trying to understand why the kid did it,” he added, noting about 200 people attended the teach in. He said “Islamophobia” was cited as the reason people want to call it a terrorist attack….
“People were quick to sympathize with the attacker and assume anyone who thought this was related to radical Islam was a xenophobic racist,” he noted. “One of the most disturbing things I saw on Facebook was that a student made a RIP Mohammad post that received nearly 800 Likes.”…

Sure now we have a problem with masculinity… The wilfull ignorance of Islamic apologists is unbelievably scary…
ballotcode says
Male privilege, those seeds have been sown.
خَليفة says
The only place question of his masculinity would matter is with Islam and other Muslims.
Am I in minority when I say that most westerners don’t really care about sexual preference in others? I personally think being homosexual is wrong for me, but it’s not for me to judge another – after all I believe God loves all his creations and God instructed us: John 13:34 “love one another as I have loved you” andMathew 25:40 “whatsoever ever you do the the least of your brothers so you do unto me” how can these not apply to ALL.
“so when you have limited ability to sort (out) expressions…..” this is where Islam is dysfunctional in helping youths – the “perfect” example of manhood is Muhammad, the murder, rapist, child molester, thief, liar – there is no other way in Islam – do it the Islamic way, OR YOU ARE WRONG.
The onlly sad thing is that this creep wasn’t killed sooner and 4 innocent people had to get stabbed.
Katnis says
“Am I in minority when I say that most westerners don’t really care about sexual preference in others?”
I think that some people do, and some people don’t. If you look at the battle that ensued over gay marriage in the US, you could conclude that sexual preference is still a hot topic.
Katnis says
This is a little off topic, but I’m very surprised the LBGT community hasn’t been more vocal about how gays are treated in muslim countries. If you are even suspected of being gay in the Middle East, you’ll be stoned to death or thrown off a building. Why isn’t the LGBT community really protesting the muslim migration right? Having made so much progress in terms of rights in the past several years, they stand a lot to lose. Under sharia law, they would be executed. There would be no discussion.
Carolyne says
To Katnis: Personally, I don’t care what gays do. The “Hot topic” to which you refer isn’t what they do, but the cultural change forced upon us with gay marriage. Many of us feel marriage is and should be reserved for two persons of the opposite sex and that civilization and order are maintained in part by this philosophy. If you think it was against gay preference, you have missed the entire point.
Sam S. Ara says
If gays want to get married, let ’em have at it! Watch the Tosh video parody on YouTube called “It gets worse.” Hilarious!
Sam S. Ara says
I think you raise some good points. I agree that the brand of Islam that these idiots seem to be adhering to is one which is hypermasculine, and I think the general trend in Western culture is towards tolerance of the whole LGBT community idea. But there is still a strong thread of common understanding as to what constitutes “being a man” in Western society, even if it is a work in progress. I know that my generation is kind of stuck on the fence with it all—I personally don’t care whether someone is gay, straight, whatever, and if it is “wrong” to be anything other than hetero then I figure it’s not my problem, it’s between that person and his/her notion of God…but that having been said, I still find myself reacting with disdain (even if it is internally) toward effeminate males, or “unmanly” behavior. So if this clown was effeminate, I suppose he might have felt that he had something to prove even outside of Islam. Doesn’t matter to me though—everybody has his/her deep-seated psychological reasons for the things they do–but that doesn’t mean that the wider community is obligated to let them have free murderous/injurious/violent reign. In other words, you might be a murderer with a bad childhood or damaged psyche…but I’m still going to shoot you in the face when you threaten me or my community. Ditto capital punishment–sorry someone’s life has sucked thus far, but the death penalty hammer still needs to come down if you cross the line. No sob stories, because we’ve all got them and still manage to control ourselves…
? says
Good point, people regardless of their past are still responsible for their actions. No one lets a child rapist off “because he was also raped” no one gives the serial killers with horrible childhoods a pass because “they were abused”. People today apparently love hearing sob stories and having pity parties– grow up no one cares, grow up. And really any time someone justifies the actions of individuals like this queer is insulting and disrespecting anyone who went through the same thing and worse yet still remained a decent person.
NORA says
one less cancer ISIS is gone – at least nobody died. May he rest in halal land forever.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
College campuses are hotbeds of pyschologists and sociologists, they are smoldering with the flowing smoking hot lava of mass confusion. So this poor kid wasn’t effeminate enough, insufficiently woman-like. The ISIS flag was just a symptom of his angst and internal struggle. Too bad what happened, he coulda married a nice man and gone on to raise a fine family of non-Moslems, cuz surely Faisal woulda broken off from the hyper-masculinity of the Islam. Er, sorry, it’d be religious bigotry to say that Islam favors men over women.
Christopher H says
Or maybe one of his more “devout” muslim friends told him “A REAL muslim male goes Jihad!”? Yep, good bet I think.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
On the other hand, not to offend the professors there, how are women doing under Islam?
mortimer says
That’s a great question, APF!!! Well done.
I rephrase slightly How are women’s rights doing under Islam?
Katnis says
The discussions they are having are ludicrous, distracting, and misleading. As if we can “think” and “discuss” this problem. It’s as if the staff is making excuses, which is far easier to do than it is see and admit the truth. The end result is that the young people taking part in the discussions walked away with even less clarity than they walked in with. And they paid tuition for this kind of thing? Why bother? Stupid talk is everywhere and is free.
Sam S. Ara says
We are a doomed species. The number of ignorant, delusional, irrational people far outnumbers those who don’t fall into those categories. Now that we have nukes/WMDs, it is only a matter of time before some cretin sets one or a dozen off, triggering the end. I wish that I could say it’s been a good run overall, but…
Blitz2b says
Sam, You are absolutely right, Someday I wonder why even bother? The ones who are delusional out number the ones who have the courage to question.
Nothing… Absolutely nothing that the adherents of Islam do in the name of Islam to destroy us, will ever be attributed to Islam… Nothing…
What will it take? A neucular bomb with verse 9:29 of the Koran engraved on it left to detonate unless we all submit? Will the left the attribute this tho Islam?
It is unbelievable how much every single western politician, media and celebrity back this cult of hate, and anything said about it is considered ” hate speech”…
We are surely doomed.
Beagle says
When the 9.29 bomb detonates…
1) Sit in a circle and sing Imagine for the 800 bazillionth time.
2) Come up with some clever hashtags.
3) Create another huge pile of flowers and stuffed animal dolls.
Yeah, doomed, but don’t fail to appreciate the humor of it.
mortimer says
Only Muslim bigotry is acceptable to a cultural Marxist. The ‘noble savages’ of Islam are the ‘pets’ of the cultural Marxist. They think the little baby tigers are cute and exotic, but won’t find them ‘cute’ when the Islamism turns on the cultural Marxists.
When that happens, the cultural Marxists will find it is a dilemma to DISMOUNT THE TIGER.
Will the tiger maul them to death or will they shoot the tiger?
Westman says
A good question. Leon Trotsky may know the answer.
Touga says
What does America really owe to Islam that their academic community should be so self-deprecating and trying so hard to explain away Islam’s endemic violence so blindly in the face of this clear danger?
katnis says
I read an article some time ago explaining that middle easterners on student visas now make up like 15% of tuition payers. They pay a higher out of state rate, which makes them valuable to the school budget. Even our educational system is selling out.
Michael Copeland says
This is a pernicious misrepresentation. Tellingly,the University has an interest in deflecting attention away from jihad: they were warned, and did not take action. They may well find themselves being sued.
Westman says
“They were trying to understand why the kid did it,…”
With complete understanding there is no crime, for the observer has also become a purveyor of crime.

How pathetic to see university students grasp at a dubious conclusion first and then later follow the most convoluted path to make a case to prove it.

Deflection, deflection, deflection…
Earl says
Faisal may have been under a lot of stress. Just like the Moslem terrorist who vaporized itself in Paris last week. The mother of it claimed the stress thing was the reason. Did any family claim the bullet ridden body of the Merced dude? My condolences to the dead attempted murderer’s family. Knife controllers will take advantage of this tragedy.

*yawn*
Same old story – ANYTHING, but Islam!
Such stupidity and willful ignorance would be funny, if not for the fact that it’s costing people their lives.
Kepha says
This is the chief reason why I am not in favor of all-out intercivilizational war now. The future elites of the USA and other North Atlantic countries are bound and determined to lose.
We need to do a lot of patient rebuilding from the ground up.
mortimer says
A female speaker at the symposium said, “Anger, that is really what we think about when we think about emotional men.”
That applies to Islam…especially Muslim males carrying knives. In Islam, there is a meritorious form of anger called ‘ghayra’ which is a kind of rage leading to attacking kafirs.
dumbledoresarmy says
RE ‘ghayra’, meritorious rage.
Can you provide a precise reference for that?
Could come in handy for a lot of us.
And it would explain all those “Islamic rage boys” we see frothing and foaming and opening their mouths wide, wide, wide, in mohammedan riot scenes all over the world.
Katnis says
So let me get this straight. If I go out and stab four people, then there is a possibility that my work / school / church / city / whatever will get together and talk about how I was a victim, pressured by society’s beauty standards? It’s society’s fault. I am the victim here.
It’s a non-argument.
Undaunted says
The way the local sheriff lied to all of us about the motivation of this killer is just one more example of how we cannot trust too many of those sworn to protect us, as I point out again below…

What kind of a 72 (virgin-promising) impulsive shameless buffoon would dare to call himself a prophet then rape the wives and even the children of his murder victims.
Muslims actually call the PBUH PIG Muhammad a prophet.
Eddiethed says
I thought you had to have half a brain to teach at university,well those dumbass’s are a bunch of retards an can’t see the times we are in,what ever you think we are at war with Islam,but all the so called smart people are the stupidest people out there.
TheAllSeeingI says
I’m more scared of people who think ISIS aren’t a threat than I am of ISIS.
Jim Peters says
Over and Over again we see how Muslim attackers are cowards. Only when they have overwhelming force on their side, do they attack. They run people over with cars, disabling them and then chopping off their victims’ heads. If they all desire to be martyrs, they can go off into the desert and blow themselves up along with their families. They want to be in good standing with Allah by murdering infidels before pulling the trigger on their explosive vests. They hate their earthly lives, live in their shitty countries and believe that things will be better in paradise. They love to come here, live it up with drinking, going to strip clubs and whorehouses and then committing murder/suicide. What hypocrits!
Angemon says
Ambulance chasing. Abu Ali MacStaby didn’t stab people because of pressure resulting of society’s notion of masculinity, he did so because the people he was stabbing were unbelievers.
Funny, seeing how that was exactly what the event was purposed to do – turn the tragedy into hate of masculinity. But there is “hate” *nods up and down* and “hate” *nods right and left*.

‘Nuff said.
We know what lives are grievable and what race has to do with it – #BlackLivesMatter and #FuckParis. No, seriously, #FuckParis is a thing:
http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/11/14/mizzou-campus-activists-and-black-lives-matter-complain-about-paris-stealing-the-spotlight/
Hold that thought.
Am I reading this right? If the stabber had been a middle class, able bodied, heterosexual, meat-eating Christian he wouldn’t have felt the need to stab anyone because he wouldn’t be trying to compensate for anything?
Also, what garbage – violence when being called “fag”, “pussy” or “wimp” is perpetrated against the people doing the insult (much like when being called, well, anything else), not against random people. I bet a woman wrote that nonsense.
Retribution for speaking out – isn’t the leftist definition of diversity wonderful? Not applicable to intellectual diversity, but still.
Of course – I bet if not for the fabled “islamophobia” everyone would be like “boys will be boys”… sarc./ off
Including, of course, the perpetrator of the attack.
Disturbing indeed.
dumbledoresarmy says
The one ray of light in this is the anonymous student who – despite all the grovellingly-Islamophiliac indoctrination and nonsense-and-lies that no doubt has come his way, as a child of the late 20th/ early 21st century – *did* see that this pity party for the Muslim would-be murderer was, well, rather bizarre, and who *does* connect the attack with Islam, and who was disturbed by the FB page in honour of the murderer, and how many ‘likes’ it got.
QUOTE: “A UC Merced student who attended the teach in said **he could not believe the school’s event blamed the stabbing spree on “masculinity” and completely downplayed radical Islam.** {my emphasis – DDA}
“They just want to say it’s not Islamic terror,” said the student, a senior at the school who asked The College Fix to remain anonymous for fear of “retribution”RIPFM for speaking out.

Yes, he says ‘radical Islam’ rather than just ‘Islam’. But he also says “Islamic terror” and it sounds as though, despite all the indoctrination, *he* thinks it *was* Islamic terror.
He may not have a complete understanding yet, but he’s waaaay ahead of most of his fellow students and most of his teachers. If he keeps puzzling about this, if he does just a bit more research, hey, he might find his way to Jihadwatch, or another Resistance forum, and find out that yes indeed, stabbing attacks like this, carried out by Muslims, are expressions of…mainstream Islam.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Remember when crazy guy onh psychotropic meds Dylann Roof was found with a picture of a Confederate flag, so the leftists then got the flag banned?
Roof was white, so to them he was genetically a racist (which is how the left can claim with straight faces to be anti-racist, which to them means anti-white, since only whites are genetically disposed to be racists, which is why the white race is an inferior one)!
But this guy is “swarthy” so to them he will always only be a victim – of white racism!
Liberals are racists: they always assume that ONLY White Western people (including, of course, the Jews in Israel,) are INTELLIGENT enough to be guilty of being truly evil, while all their pet “People Of Colour” (including the “swarthy palestinians”) being mentally inferior and all, just can’t help being enslaved by their instincts and emotions into acting as violent animals when frustrated, the poor oppressed little dears, so the liberals will always indulge their crimes, much as one ignores the new puppy as it pees on the rugs.
So here’s their interminably ongoing “narrative” (story):
“SO JUST STOP PICKING ON ALL THE THE POOR HELPLESS MENTALLY INFERIOR SWARTHY ANIMAL VICTIMS, YOU EVIL MENTALLY SUPERIOR WHITE BULLIES! YOU KNOW THEY’RE AT THE MERCY OF THEIR ANIMAL INSTINCTS SUCH THAT THEY JUST CAN’T HELP BEING VIOLENT WHEN CONFUSED, SO STOP BAITING AND CONFUSING THEM, YOU HATERS!”
Darian says
It was reported that this creep was on an FBI watch list but they didn’t even bother to inform UC scurity about the threat. Immediatiately after the attacks, the FBI quickly offered their “angry young man” motive, (I guess) to cover their behinds for their intelligence failure.
His “room mate” stated that he “loved to pray at the Mosque” yet Muslims at Merced area Mosques claimed they never knew or saw him. Was he “praying” in a Santa Clara (or other Bay Area mosque)?
With these stabbers in Israel and now a smiling on here in in California and their psychotic and unpredictable solo attacks, are we moving from “islamofascists” to “Islamozombies”?
Jim Peters says
I am so glad to hear that the campus cop shot this piece of shit. Poor little muzzy just couldn’t cope with life so it was time to assault a few people, after all, Allah would thank him for his crimes. Allah the god of criminals, the god of evil, the god whose prophet, Mohammad, was a pathological wack job. Way to go, muzzies, you know how to make friends and influence people. GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOUR BUDDIES THE SATANISTS ARE GIVING YOU SAFE HARBOR!
