Terrence Lavaron Thomas, the "Detroit man" who allegedly stabbed two people who said they weren't Muslims.

I saw this on Twitter a couple of hours ago:

Wow. Man asks if two are Muslim. They reply that they are not and he stabs them. See if you get that from hed or lede http://t.co/499ZB7M46N — Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) February 17, 2015

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.

Man stabs two at a bus stop after asking them if they’re Muslim http://t.co/eS03cbGft0 — Washington Post (@washingtonpost) February 17, 2015

At that time the headline was "Man stabs two at a bus stop after asking them if they’re Muslim," [By Abby Ohlheiser, February 17, 015] and the lead paragraph saysThe original title is visible in this WaPo Tweet, although below it you see the updated version. The original version is also visible in the URL: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/02/17/man-stabs-two-at-a-bus-stop-after-asking-them-if-theyre-muslim

This is just a terrible attempt to mislead. At the bottom of the post, there's the additional reading, which also adds to the misleading note.

The headline certainly has been updated, but no apology or correction. See also Muslim stabs two for being non-Muslim; WaPo headline writer just can’t say it, Twitchy, February 17, 2015.
