Fmr FBI director Tom Fuentes tells CNN, ‘Muhammad Youssef Abdelaziz’ may not be a Muslim name

On the July 16 edition of ‘The Lead’, CNN analyst Tom Fuentes was unwilling to conclude that the perpetrator of the mass murder of four U.S. Marines at Chattanooga, Tennessee was a Muslim, even after it was revealed the killers name was ‘Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez’. This from a man who one was in leadership of the FBI.

John Berman asked the former FBI assistant director, “Now that we have the name [Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez], the key questions are what?”

Fuentes replied, “I know…what the name sounds like, but we don’t know that it’s a Muslim name. We know it’s an Arabic name.”
