FBI Admits Faisal Mohammad A Self-Radicalized Jihadist

Now they admit he was a "self-radicalized" Islamist.

Previously, they spent a lot of time claiming to have no idea what his motive could possibly be.

If you don't remember the stabbing spree at Merced University, that's because Obama and the FBI have conspired to make sure you don't.

More than four months after a black-clad loner with an Islamist-themed manifesto and a printed ISIS flag in his backpack stabbed four people on a California college campus, the FBI wrapped up its investigation Thursday by saying "it may never be possible to definitively determine" what motivated the bloody rampage.

The inconclusive findings from the probe of the Nov. 4, 2015 attack at the University of California Merced campus followed months of hesitation by local and federal law enforcement to link Faisal Mohammad's stabbing spree to terrorism....

Critics say it followed a pattern in which the federal government downplays domestic terrorism even when there are seemingly obvious links. The flag, the manifesto annotated with reminders to pray to Allah in between stabbings -- all reported in November by FoxNews.com, yet not confirmed by the FBI until this week, pointed early on to the 18-year-old Mohammad having been radicalized, say terrorism experts. Even the stabbings themselves, which came as a wave of terrorist blade attacks occurred in Israel, were indicators of an extremist motivation, say experts.

"The Department of Justice is avoiding stating the obvious, which is that an individual who commits violence in the name of ISIS is a terrorist," said Ryan Mauro, national security analyst for the New York-based nonprofit terrorism research institute Clarion Project. "If someone commits violence and has an ISIS flag and jihadist manifesto in their backpack, they are telling you what their motive was. It's as iron-clad as a suicide note."

The leftist media never points this out, obviously.
