Islamic Radical Threatens Catholic High School
Police are investigating an anonymous forum poster who praised Boston bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and later made a threat against a Catholic high school in Fairfax, Virginia.
The online poster goes
by the handle “Prophet Muhammad” and has made several disturbing
statements on the Fairfax Underground website in the last month. On
Friday, he posted a threat against Paul VI Catholic High School:
“Inshallah, Paul VI High School will be the scene of another massacre. Allahu akbar!”
“Inshallah” is an Arabic phrase that means “God willing.” “Allahu
akbar” means “God is the greatest.” Both sayings are commonly associated
with the Islamic faith.
The Diocese of Arlington, which
oversees the high school, took the threat seriously. Police searched
school grounds over the weekend using bomb-sniffing dogs, according to a
spokesperson for the diocese.
