The stabbing death Tuesday of an Islamic scholar in his home in Wyncote, Pa., was an assassination by a killer “filled with hate and rage,” the coroner said. But police said they have not discarded the idea that a botched burglary led to the deaths of Ismail Faruqi, 65, a Temple University religion professor, and his American-born wife, Lois, 59, who taught part time at Temple. Their 27-year-old pregnant daughter was stabbed six times.
