Ishmael = Jewish Spelling
Ismail = Arab spelling
Similar to:
Abraham = Jewish Spelling
Ibrahim = Arab Spelling
That exact same phrase (exact in the spelling) was also found by another poster on Free Republic as part of a physics formula. So, it could also have something to do with physics.
At this point in time, “physics” is just as good a guess as “Islam”

P.S. — In any case, whether physics or not, he’s a nutball case and was whacked in the head. I mean, setting fire to your room twice? Calling in bomb threats, like the authorities are saying they think he did? That’s all nutball thinking...
We're talking about at least three different alphabets here -- Hebrew, Arabic and Roman. Some of them by way of Greek. We're not talking about spellings, but transliteration -- and for crying out loud, 20-odd years after Ghadaffi got our attention, there is no consensus on whether his name should begin with a G, a K or a Q, whether it should end in I or Y, and just what the hell should come in between.
