Terrence Lavaron Thomas faces multiple state charges
A Detroit man stabbed two people at a suburban bus stop after asking his victims whether or not they were Muslim, according to police. Federal authorities are now looking at the case as a potential hate crime, police said on Tuesday.
Both of the victims were standing at the bus stop outside of Detroit with the suspect on Saturday, Southfield Police Chief Eric Hawkins said. Several people there “engaged in conversation” until the suspect, identified by Hawkins as 39-year-old Terrence Lavaron Thomas, “asked some of the folks there if they were Muslims.”
Two of them answered, the chief told The Post on Tuesday: They were not Muslims.
“[Thomas] was not not happy with that answer,” Hawkins said. Shortly after, “without provocation,” Thomas pulled out a 3-inch folding knife “and attacked one of them,” Hawkins said....

Rounded up their discussion of religion by, eh...STABBING THEM.
Very authentically Muslim.
The Muzzie is STRONG with this one....
Just exercising the religion of peace, of course.
wow, so I go into a bank, ask then to hand over all the money and sh00t them, will that be reported as "...sh0t them after discussing finances "?
'Killing infidels is nice, Muhammed, but the best thing about Islam is the 72 virgins.'
'Killing infidels!'
'72 virgins!'
[BOOM!]
I don't answer questions about religion, not when I'm talking to strangers who look like psychopaths.
LOL. Yeah. Sure, they are.
I looked at him. I’m thinking crack is driving this clown’s behavior as much as anything else. That guy is completely out of it in that photo.
The Dude has Oprah Eyes...
Will the media go crazy over this?
They will ignore it.
That wasn’t what I’d call a “discussion”.
This is a big change in reporting.
I'm so sick of "folks." This is Obama talk for minimizing the victims of Islamic or black attacks.
just asking someone on the street what religion they are is not a “religious discussion”.
it is interrogation/investigation.
Hate Crime ,Hate Crime ,Hate Crime
Homer Simpson’s brother ?
You guys know that the first version of this headline was
MAN STABS TWO AFTER ASKING IF THEY WERE MUSLIMS
Got it? It makes it seem like Muslims were the *victims* in the incident. That was a bit too transparent, and many objected, leading to the current headline. Which is still not accurate. There was no “religious discussion”, simply the question “are you Muslim?” After which non-Muslims got stabbed.
The WP, disgraceful as usual.
The guy looks like something on one of the Star Wars episodes, I just don’t know which planet.
On the bright side he will meet plenty of fellow Muslims in prison.
He looks like that squid character on Futurama.
