The FBI is investigating this attack and its possible links to ISIS. It appears the victims were picked at random.

The FBI has launched a federal terrorism investigation into a weekend stabbing in Roanoke, Va., looking at whether the attacker may have been trying to behead his victim in an alleged ISIS-inspired assault, sources tell ABC News.

Federal authorities have been aware of the alleged attacker, 20-year-old Wasil Farooqui, of the Roanoke area, for some time, sources familiar with the case told ABC News. In the past year, he traveled to Turkey and may have tried to sneak into Syria, where ISIS is recruiting and inspiring sympathizers from across the world, sources said.

During the Saturday stabbing, Farooqui allegedly injured a man and woman at an apartment complex in Roanoke, yelling "Allah Akbar" as he attacked them with a knife, sources told ABC News.

Authorities believe he may have been trying to behead the male victim, who was likely picked at random, ABC News was told.

I think that nuts are probably attracted to ISIS and like to envision themselves as part of ISIS.

What is your point in mentioning the murder of a Xenophobic person who killed this Muslim guy? Yes, there are whack jobs throughout the world but please don't pretend the occasional deranged Islamophobe is the same as ISIS inspired killers carrying out attacks throughout the globe on a regular basis in the name of their (perceived) religion.

Not random occasional crazies, but regular, global murders inspired by a common toxic philosophy.

So question...
If somebody murders someone and screams out "Helter Skelter" does that mean they were inspired by Charles Manson?
