Shooting at Fort Hood Military base (UPDATE: SHOOTER ALIVE)

They just never learn,media,military,politicians and nitwits on this thread still asking the same questions; what was Major Nidal Malik Hasan's motive for this mass terrorist killing? The speculations are all but the obvious to those who understand the tenets of Islam and the jihad imperatives against the infidels.

Media talking heads are even suggesting he was an harassed Muslim, they are suggesting he may have had "post dramatic stress syndrome'-- gee this mass murderer who yells out Allah Akbar is himself a victim! amazing,absolutely and cluelessly amazing!!- yes all but the obvious which apparently remains off limits among the political correct and the multiculturalism loons who are running our country and spouting nonsense in most of the above comments.

Where are those who see a spade and call it a spade? where are those who really want the right answers and not the politically correct answers as to why this happened and will surely happen again?
It is obvious that islam acted as the conduit for this maniac’s insanity to fester. He placed religion before duty in a calling that does not allow for such to occur. Why was it that him being a muslim, he was allowed to express and profess such beliefs without the appropriate alarm bell being sounded? I believe the public still doesn’t understand the evil so easily promoted by the hate preached in islam, and it certainly doesn’t help when the Prez tries to white wash it from the start, or MSMs pussy-footing around saying “muslim.”

Will we see a massive demonstration renouncing violence and professing allegiance to the USA first before following the word of Moe by US Muslim residents any time soon in the future? Not freakin’ likely.

I feel really sorry for the victims in Fort Hood. Their was a moment of silence this morning at my school and the flag was half raised for those victims who had died.

...no, not all muslims are muslim extremists...but what do you call a person who jumps on a table, shouts out "Allah Akbar", and then murders 12 people????, an unextreme muslim...

our goverment is so stupid for letting muslims in our us military...they need to kill him

Once again Americans are being killed in America by wacco's yelling God is Great in Arabic. How many of us have to die in order for us to realize that there's a problem?

I'm sorry but this comments block is operating so slowly I don't have the patience to spent an hour tyrying to make my post.

What did he lose it or something ?

There was a story on current about suicide rates in the military at an all time high yesterday.

The Military failed these dead and wounded soldiers

Most civilians do not realize just how utterly politicized the military is.

Beleive me, the individuals that make up the military are WELL AWARE of the problem, but there's not a damn thing they can do about it. The military works for the Commander-in-Chief. Another poster suggested that the military should not allow muslims to enlist. Great idea, but "the military" can't do that - they don't have the authority. What do you suppose B. Hussein Obama's reaction would be if the military, HIS military, started trying to institute what you and I would consider to be sane policies regarding islam? Our military leaders are not free agents, not in any sense.

According to Obama, we are not at war with Islam, nor will we EVER be at war with Islam.

And yet Islam's adherents continually disprove this preposterous statement.
Islam is at war with us and has been since the 7th century. It is unfortunate that our leaders don't know that yet.
The families of the soldiers should sue the Armed Forces for NEGLECT as a direct cause for these homicides.

With all the things known about this cockroach they are definitely guilty of extreme negligence in keeping their personnel safe.

With this person's record, why was a discharge not forthcoming. Major Hasan had trouble from the very beginning. He harassed co-workers and patients with his religious beliefs and political opinions, but was simply put on probation. This should have been a clue to his superiors that Hasan was really not cut out for military service. Futhermore, his postings on Islamists sites and hair raising opinions of U.S. military personnel should have led his superiors at Ft. Hood to take appropriate action. Instead, this human boil was allowed to fester until it burst. People at Walter Reed and Ft. Hood should be removed for their negligence in this matter. Pandering to Islamists will not stop until there are real consequences for engaging in such behavior.

"Kill non-Muslims wherever you find them. Lie in wait and ambush them, seize and capture them using every stratagem of war." Koran 9:5

The Pentagon, the American military, the Army, those who run Fort Hood, are guilty, in their refusal to recognize the effect of Islam on the minds of men, in their wilfull ignorance of what is contained in Qur'an, Hadith, and Sira, in their continual pretend-belief that only the obvious "extremists" are a danger to non-Muslims, are guilty of criminal negligence. And the government of this country, and the governments of other non-Muslim countries who refuse to take Islam seriously, refuse to halt all Muslim immigration and work to diminish the number of Muslims present in our imperilled non-Muslim societies and states, are guilty of the same criminal negligence. Everyone in authority -- brief authority --in the Western world who presumes to protect and defend "the people," has a duty to learn about Islam. Not from John Esposito. Not from the sly propagandists, Muslim and non-Muslim collaborators alike, that is the True Believers and the hirelings, or the ideological sympathizers with Islam as "anti-Western." but from the articulate apostates from Islam, such people as Ibn Warraq, Nonie Darwish, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Wafa Sultan, Magdi Allam. Their testimonies have been published;t they are eager to help explain the Muslim mind, the mind of those brought up in societies suffused with Islam. But those who rule over us think they have no duty to learn from these sources. They prefer to listen to the smiling, affable, so-trustworthy Muslims on their staffs, or in the pay of the government. They are easily fooled. They are too lazy to do the necessary work that only they -- not their staffs, who prepare those simplify bullet-riddled Exective Summaries. Nothing but immediate, and detailed knowledge, of the texts and the tenets and the attitudes and the atmospherics of Islam, will do.

this is tragic!

killer is reported as taking his own life by CNN - cover up or?

my nephew joined the marines and on one visit to his base he was apologizing because the drill instructor couldn't beat them publicly anymore. seems some bleeding heart mothers group found out about training and put a stop to beatings.
a guy can wrap his head around that; you know," the make a man out of you stuff ". a guy desires to be brave and held in high regard as a warrior and protector. the armed services walk a fine line, as they mass produce teenage fighters that are willing to die for god and country. all countries face the same problems, unless they don't expect them to survive.
our country's wealth and position rests on their young shoulders and their burden will never end, as long as there are countries.

Today was a bizarre day. I couldn't hardly believe this was happening 5 minutes away from me. It's quite shocking. Im grateful to say my serving father is stationed in Colorado, he's safe and sound. But Im sad to be informed the leading gunman was an army psychiatrist. Makes me wonder if background checks are even justifiable nowadays...

I understand "in harms way" on deployment, but not during deployment. This is America.....Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.....Not, Home of Mass Murderers, and disgruntled Majors that were given that rank due to having an MD behind his name....in psychiatry, no less!

There are no words to describe how we feel. Our military members need feel our shared grief. In harms way is to be expected on deployment. This was their home.

My heart goes out to all the families of the wounded, and dead. I can't imagine what they are going through. My main concern about this entire incident, is why the army didn't do a more thorough investigation into Major Hasan's background. He was a psychiatrist at John Hopkins and received a poor recommendation when he left. He joins the army, was made a major, makes it known to anyone that will listen that he is against the war in Iran and Iraq and is deployed over there anyway. I don't understand how someone like that would be accepted in the army in the first place.
Just because you are a civilian doctor "psychiatrist", do you automatically become a major in the army, by-passing basic training and the numerous psych tests they give you prior to being accepted? Is the army that hard-up for psych doctors?
One more thing......where in the heck did Major Hasan get the bullets? Ammunition is locked up!
Obama says he will take care of those who are wounded, etc., etc. Well, if more care would have been taken in allowing someone like that into the armed forces, there wouldn't be any wounded or dead people!

This is sad and terrible. The reason we need a draft is that these men and women can take only so much stress. That Doctor had as inside view of what the PTSD victims were enduring and the lack of resources available to them.
I suspect it was a statement. Its so sad and so terrible. My heart goes out to the victims and to all the family members and friends.

My condolences to those who are grieiving the loss of a loved one or praying for loved ones to recover. This war now has casualties on our own shores. It is time for it to END.

...@Caliboy...looks like that's emerging...ANALYZE THIS...sigh...all seem to be ducking and weaving on this issue at present...

Im guessing he was probably a religious fanatic

shooter i.d. is Major Malik Nadal Hasan

One shooter identified,Major Malik Nadal Hassan uh oh Islamic name. Let the terrorist scare begin.

shooteer has been identified as Major Malik Nadal Hasan

Its crazy that we come home from the desert getting shot at, just to come home to go through the same

one of the shooters was comfirmed to be a soldier the other two we still dont know

They just said 12 dead and 31 injured. Wow.

Probably another Columbine or Virgina Tech! Someone either coming down on or taking Antipsychotic drugs!

I live in Killen and there are 12 dead 31 wounded

Soldiers can be forced to go back for repeated tours of duty and thus sending minds to the breaking point. Stop Loss policy and it's tragic results.

I really am afraid this is PTSD-related, as (according to the AP report) the Soldier Readiness Center is where soldiers who are about to be deployed or who are returning undergo medical screening. So, this may be a returning soldier who is really damaged (and who wouldn't be?) or one who doesn't want to deploy. And, I don't support war so I can understand that but this is terrible.

I love the idea of 'up voting' something that says 7 dead 12 injured... it makes our society seem so callus and simplified.

im shocked one guy was able to shoot up a military base without anyone being armed to shoot back at him.

This is what is happening when come back a war that should have not happened in the first palce. They come back crazy as hell.

...12 dead, at least 31 injured...tragic...is PTSD our next concern...

a fine line indeed; training 18 year olds to kill and sacrifice themselves but only under orders. i worked for a guy who killed 3 people in bar fights but was let go because of his vietnam record. in 'nam he killed hundreds including a friendly village after his company was wiped out. one day the cops shot him at a bar, too bad, he was a great guy except for being a trained killer.

This is sad. My heart goes out to the friends and families.

I just heard on the news its up to 12 dead and 30 wounded.

craziness.

Wow, not cool. Wonder if it was crazy soldier or crazy civilian.

I'm very interested in finding out whether or not the shooters are soldiers. I kind of suspect that they are... while I know many members of the various armed forces who are good guys and pretty normal, I feel as though a majority have anger problems, xenophobia, and just a lot of violent ideals...

Oh my, I hope they catch the other suspects, and I hope the wounded survive.
