I am still trying to wrap my head around “militant vegan Bahai shooter”. The comments section when the video is posted will be interesting. Regards, Shodan ---

Remarks from a linguistic perspective: Her Iranian origin was immediately apparent from the name “Aghdam,” which is the Persian adaptation of the Arabic word _aqdam_ (‘foremost’). Her bilingualism in Turkish and Persian points to origins from Iranian Azerbaijan, where the people tend to be fluent in both languages. Her eyebrow style is also characteristic of Iranian Azerbaijan. The Qajar dynasty was of Azeri origin, and Qajar style paintings show a strong preference for unibrow. Her Bahá’í faith must take by surprise people who assume all Iranians are Muslim, unaware that Bahá’ism comes from Iran, and that Persians are still demographically predominant in that religion. Some are saying she “posed in hijab,” but that wasn’t what it appeared to be. She put on what she called a “ninja look” just to make a sarcastic comment about freedom of speech in America, because she was pissed off about YouTube’s handling of her content. That unvarying dead-behind-the-eyes (lack of) expression in every single picture is alarming, and it’s all uniquely hers, not attributable to anything but her own private insanity. On the strikingly symmetrical beauty of her face, it’s extra unsettling. ---

So it sounds like we have two motives, one against the company and one against a particular employee. One wonders if one is maybe a cover for the other. ---

The word sabz that she used in her online handles is the Persian word for ‘green’, from which is derived the word for vegetables: sabzi. Hence, vegan. Likewise the Turkish word for green, yeşil, which also crops up there. ---

What’s the Persian for “if I don’t get a thousand Subscribes by Saturday I’m going postal”? Regards, Shodan ---

> [@Johanna](#): > > Her Bahá’í faith must take by surprise people who assume all Iranians are Muslim Well, also those of us who associate the faith with pacifism. But nutty is nutty. So, cue the “We need better mental health treatment” stories from all the excuse-making gun faction members who do nothing to make that happen either. ---

No, because there was no particular employee. That was debunked early on. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/active-shooter-at-youtube-says-twitter-and-snapchat/811753.md?page=1)
