A handwritten manifesto carried by a California college student whose stabbing spree Wednesday left four wounded bore names of his targets, a vow to cut someones head off and as many as five reminders to praise Allah, law enforcement authorities told FoxNews.com, while insisting that neither terrorism nor religion appear to be motives in the attack.
In the two-page document found in Faisal Mohammads pocket by the county coroner, the 18-year-old freshman wrote a numeric list outlining his plans of who he wanted to kill, and how, including beheading and shooting his victims, Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke told FoxNews.com
No. 27 was to make sure people are tied down, No. 28 was sit down and praise Allah,' Warnke said. I remember seeing four or five times, scribbled on the side of the two-page manifesto, where he wrote something like praise Allah.

"Anger over being kicked out of a UC Merced study group drove an 18-year-old computer science student to make a precise plan to kill a lot of people, according to a two-page, hand-written manifesto found during his autopsy, authorities said Thursday.
Faisal Mohammad, a slender freshman in glasses, entered his Wednesday morning class with a 10-inch knife, a backpack filled with zip-tie handcuffs, duct tape and, in his pocket, a point-by-point script for vengeance, Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke told reporters: He had a pretty elaborate idea of what he wanted to do.
We had an upset teenager that was upset over being kicked out of a study group for being disruptive, the sheriff said. He was a teenager, he got mad and took it out this way."

"Asked if the manifesto made any references to Allah, Warnke said there were, but dismissed any suggestion that Mohammad was motivated by religion.
His belief was through the Muslim faith, but theres nothing to indicate anything other than that, Warnke said. Itd be like a Christian referring to the Lord Jesus.

Little known fact: if you look at the local coverage and not Fox, you get an entirely different picture of the situation. Shocking, I know.
