UPDATE : Ft. Hood suspect seemed incoherant when asking for advice about fighting other Muslim's.
FORT HOOD, Texas – The Army psychiatrist suspected of going on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood recently asked for advice on what he should tell fellow soldiers concerned about fighting Muslims in Iraq or Afghanistan, a local Muslim leader said Saturday.
But during their second conversation, Hasan seemed almost incoherent, Danquah said.
"But what if a person gets in and feels that it's just not right?" Danquah recalled Hasan asking him.
"I told him, `There's something wrong with you,'" Danquah told The Associated Press during an interview at Fort Hood on Saturday. "I didn't get the feeling he was talking for himself, but something just didn't seem right."
But Danquah was sufficiently troubled that he recommended the center reject Hasan's request to become a lay Muslim leader at Fort Hood.
"He told (them) that as a Muslim committed to his prayers he was discriminated against and not treated as is fitting for an officer and American," said Mohammed Malik Hasan, 24, a cousin, told the AP from his home on the outskirts of Ramallah, a Palestinian city north of Jerusalem. "He hired a lawyer to get him a discharge."

If this is true, how could they ignore this! Expecially since he was in the Army!
-
Sounds like spin to me. No one was sure if he actually posted that, AND it seems to me that he was just against unneeded US Militarism. I for one would not want to be deployed oversees. In the army or not.

KILLEEN, Texas – An apartment complex manager says the man accused of opening fire at Fort Hood, Texas recently had a religious bumper sticker torn off his car.
The manager, John Thompson, says a fellow soldier allegedly keyed Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's car and ripped up the bumper sticker. Thompson says the soldier had been to Iraq and was upset to learn Hasan was Muslim.
Thompson, who manages the Killeen, Texas complex where Hasan lives, says the bumper sticker read: "Allah is Love." In Arabic, Allah means God.
A report filed on Aug. 16 with Killeen police says Hasan's car had been scratched causing $1,000 worth of damage. The report says an Army employee had been arrested. It didn't provide more details about what happened.

wow, this is crazy!

Every non-extremist Muslim American must be like..... thanks Nidal!

Yes there were signs here but tring to prevent this would have taken years through the red tape. Keep your eyes on the others that serve with our people.Not sending them to the war areas just have them run the corner store or the px.

Hmmmmm? I wonder if Obama had decided to stop the warmongering, as he had eluded to in his PROMISES FOR CHANGE, we would even be discussing this?
Well at least he has a NEW RESOLVE now!
-
I believe in profiling to prevent situations like this. He's a sleeper! There's more out there.
-
We need to investigate all of the possible reasons for this ot it will keep happening.
Our news comes up with a one reason and everyone falls for it.
This is necessary to solve holistically.They will never investigate if it was caused by antidepressants.

yes typically things can be prevented but aren't when the government refuses to take care of our soldiers mental health.

The US Military has been asking for an outbreak like this. It is a complete disaster but should be a wakeup call to get out, we've overstayed our unwelcome and only contributed to the misery without leaving their government to its own corruption. On the other hand this tragedy should have been avoided with further supervision and perhaps discharge to prevent such conflict. These things of course cant be anticipated. I pray for those families of the victims and i pray for the sanity and recovery of hasan to address how this did not solve but create even more disaster.
-
Whatever we do, it is important not to let terror bring fear that will destroy the liberty of this country. That's how terror wins.
-
My prayers go out to the families of the victims. There's no one else to blame but the guy who orchestrated these attacks. There's only one way to put the finger in this case. Still both sides of this argument come off as ignorant in my opinion.

You know what I don't like? Lies. I saw the so called "radical" posting. It was a synopsis for a paper someone wrote where he states that labeling suicide bombers as suicidal is incorrect as they don't have the same psychological profile as a suicidal profile, and equates their frame of mind to a kamikazee pilot or a US soldier who dives on a grenade to save the other members of their troop, in that the believe that they are sacrificing for the greater good. Now suddenly because he's an Arab, ever news agency is taking 1 sentence from a paragraph and framing the man to make him seem like a terrorist rather than being like other military soldiers in the past.
Essentially this whole situation has exposed the racist inclination of the media to paint every follower of Islam as an extremist every time they do something illegal and attempts to turn Islam into an illegitimate violent religion.
To make matters worse, this synopsis was labeled "extremist material" and added to an FBI database months ago, which goes a long way in telling you how far down the shitter your civil liberties are these days.
Anyway, here's that extremist comment and link:
"There was a grenade thrown amongs a group of American soldiers. One of the soldiers, feeling that it was to late for everyone to flee jumped on the grave with the intention of saving his comrades. Indeed he saved them. He inentionally took his life (suicide) for a noble cause i.e. saving the lives of his soldier. To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause. Scholars have paralled this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers. If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory. Their intention is not to die because of some despair. The same can be said for the Kamikazees in Japan. They died (via crashing their planes into ships) to kill the enemies for the homeland. You can call them crazy i you want but their act was not one of suicide that is despised by Islam. So the scholars main point is that "IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOUR INTENTION IS THE MAIN ISSUE" and Allah (SWT) knows best."

AP: "Anti-Muslim Backlash Immediate" -- but offers not even one example
Zowie! AP says that there has been "immediate" anti-Muslim "backlash" following the mass murders by an Islamic jihadist at Fort Hood! Good gravy, what happened? Did armed bands of furious Islamophobes throw molotov cocktails at mosques? Did ferocious white supremacists maul fragile little girls in hijabs on their way to school? Did angry bigots spit at pious imams quietly going about their business?
Has there been any report of any innocent, random Muslim being attacked in a "backlash" after the Fort Hood jihad?
Nope. Not one. Americans are decent people. Americans believe people are innocent until proven guilty. But Ibrahim Hooper and his fellow thugs at CAIR need hate crimes so that they can claim victim status for Muslims and deflect attention away from such small matters as the jihad at Fort Hood, and they have the clueless and/or complicit mainstream media in their hip pocket. And so we witness the strange phenomenon of stories of Muslims fearing a backlash far outnumbering actual incidents of backlash. In fact, the score is about umpteen to zero.
And in the AP story linked above, all we get after the promise of news of "immediate" backlash are various stories about mosques and Muslims asking for special police protection, etc. So in reality, the story should be headlined, "Muslims claim victim status in wake of Fort Hood jihad attack," or "Muslim victimhood whining immediate after Fort Hood jihad massacre," or some such.
It is regarded by fake liberals that it is hateful to note that a guy shouting "Allahu akbar" as he gunned people down, and who gave out Korans hours before he started shooting people, and who expressed sympathy for suicide attackers, may just have been motivated by the Islamic jihad doctrine of warfare against unbelievers.

I apoligize for the comments I made earlier about this matter. Saying they probably planted him there? It was a sick judgement call, and uncalled for? I think that nobody should be judging all Muslims for a somethat have made mistakes. I think it wrong and we have killed alot of them and they should hate us. But, as for blaming all Muslims for this incident is ridicolous and dead wrong. He was a sick and sad person with issues. Nobody should be held responsible except for him alone. I pray for the families and support their recovery! God Bless you all!

Born in Virginia, sent to medical school by the U.S. Army, the psychiatrist was disciplined for proselytizing to his patients about Islam. Asked his nationality, he didn't identify himself as an American but as a Palestinian. He spoke approvingly of the shooting death of a Little Rock Army recruiter in June and reportedly was heard saying "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square." He screamed allah akbar before he mowed down scores of patriotic Americans and gave away Qurans with his business card before his act of jihad. He gave his landlord two weeks notice ............
And Obama says don't jump to conclusions on shooting.
God save America.
In the meantime, here's a BBC caption; ''The shooting has hit Muslim soldiers at Ford Hood hard''. Unbelievable. This is how evil the BBC has become.

Try this: drive out into the forest. The real forest where there's no people and can't hear cars and trucks.
Go sit on your butt - shut up and listen. Hear the breeze in the branches, the bird song drifting. Deer and squirrels.Just the quite.

Ralph Peters gets it right in our world of mass psychosis and denial.
From the NY Times editorial:
"...There were reports that some soldiers said they had heard him shout “God is Great” in Arabic before he started firing. But until investigations are complete, no one can begin to imagine what could possibly have motivated this latest appalling rampage."This is like a Monty Python sketch---it's almost unfathomable that this view is so prevalent amongst the elites. Try to imagine that, if in 1943, a German-American US soldier named Hans Groebbler had suddenly pulled out a pistol and started shooting his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, while yelling "Heil Hitler!" and "Deutchland Uber Alles!" Do you really think anyone would have puzzled over his motive? The problem is that the leftist elites today can no longer even comprehend that everyone in the world isn't naturally a leftist. They can't comprehend that millions of people who are educated, not impoverished and not abused, will freely choose traditional Islam over the liberal West. They won't deal with reality, and it puts us all in great danger.

There are going to be more incidents of this sort in the future, just as there have been numerous instances already.
One third of the US military's fighting force is now believed to suffer from PTSD, for one thing.
I am not suggesting that that is the case in this instance since I know little yet, but it's pertinent to the larger issue of service members snapping and committing similar acts, with or without and any Muslim connections.What's more, military culture is neither a healthy environment for Muslims, women, gays nor anyone who is ill.
I have been told by service members in the past that, in military culture, PTSD is mocked and the prevailing joke is that stands for 'Probably Trying to Screw the Department'.
What's more, the suicide rate in the military has now officially surpassed that of the general population of the US.The other issue at the heart of this sleeping giant the very length of this broader war in the Middle East.
The military is under enormous strain as is society overall.The writing is on the wall. It's past time to wind down these wars.

Get all the military out of these countries and put them in Chicago, Baltimore, LA and Newark.
