Fort Hood Massacre

[HiDefFisherman]

I've just read several news stories about Hasan and his beliefs, as well as the Muslim response here in the U.S..

What concerned me the most is that his commanding officers at the military university where he got his master's degree felt they could not file an official complaint against him because they felt it would be seen as being "anti-muslim". And, that is what needs to be taken to heart. We, as a soceity, have got to quit saying every complaint is issued as a prejudice toward a person's ethnicity or religous beliefs. Sometimes, most times, complaints are just that, complaints about the individual.

Also, a co-founder of an Islamic group in Killeen Tx, and also a military man, if I read it correctly, said Hasan was having trouble with it being a fight against other Muslims. He told Hasan that Muslims had been fighting one another forever, but it did not seem to matter.

Remember, Catholics, Baptists, and other religous organizations have had people commit heinous crimes. As I recall from my history classes, Chritanity as a whole was often very brutal towards those they sought to convert. Remember the Crusades? Well, remember about learning about the Crusades?

One other thing that puzzeled me was that several stories said that Hasan was spreading anti-American sentiment via the internet, but an Army release (released anomously as the person was not authorized to speak about the issue) said that a study of Hasan's computer use had not shown any concerns, or something to that affect. How can there be so much conflicting information? That is a rhetorical question.

Tight lines,

I'm with you on the different stories that are being reported. My honest opinion is that the newspapers, magazines, and TV news channels are all embellishing their reports in order to garner the most publicity. The more they sensationalize the more confusing the news becomes. I doubt that we will be able to read some of Hasan's postings because they were made on Islamic websites in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran. I can't even tell you whether that much is correct or not because I read it an online newspaper.

Here are a couple of web sites that give the Muslim's opinion on Nidal Malik Hasan and on Muslim infiltration of the US Military.

Good post, good to see all aspects of a situation. I just bear in mind there were weirdos out there that thought Charlie Manson was doing a good thing too. Again, good to be reminded we as Americans gotta to watch more than just the guy with the gun. The folks with voice are potentially dangerous too.
