Tragedy - Fort Hood

I agree it is a tragedy...and I also am glad he survived. I am hoping to find out the truth behind his terrorist killing spree. I am not buying “Post War Traumatic Stress Disorder", he was never deployed. I am not buying his “fear of being deployed“. He spent to much time in the army already and everyone knows they will be deployed at some point. I am not buying the fact that he was “a lonely man,” the army is not a lonely place.

 I am interested to know the truth to the madness he displayed that caused so many people to lose their lives and the pain it has caused loved ones and family members Heart felt sympathy echo’s across this Great Country. This will in fact hurt the Islamic community.

I however am viewing this currently not as a Muslim problem but as a soldier in the army problem...First and foremost he is an American Soldier...his motives are not known at this time. But , somewhere this soldier lost his way and so many are suffering ...it is a tragedy

Just another nice Muslim man? There are many not so nice Chritian people out there 6t5. Don't stereotype these people.

Well Lev, once again, you have outdone yourself, twisting my words to make me look evil. I do not care what you believe, I could care less, it is your business. What irritates me is that a good christian man can walk into a church, open fire on an abortion doctor...and it is all good because what he did was right according to Christian beliefs. But, a Muslim man walks into a building and opens fire, and it is automatically a terrorist act. What this man did was reprehensible, he planned it and even did away with some of his belongings prior to the act. It does not matter who commits these acts, they are wrong and these people should be put away for life. Do not go and twist my words and make it seem like I think that Christians are bad, and Muslims are good. People are people no matter what religion they happen to believe in. The sad thing in all of this is that many of these violent acts are due to peoples religious beliefs and a general intolerance towards others of different religions and beliefs.

An excerpt opinion piece from the WSJ

Dr. Phil and the Fort Hood Killer His terrorist motive is obvious to everyone but the press and the Army brass.   By DOROTHY RABINOWITZ It can by now come as no surprise that the Fort Hood massacre yielded an instant flow of exculpatory media meditations on the stresses that must have weighed on the killer who mowed down 13 Americans and wounded 29 others. Still, the intense drive to wrap this clear case in a fog of mystery is eminently worthy of notice. The tide of pronouncements and ruminations pointing to every cause for this event other than the one obvious to everyone in the rational world continues apace. Commentators, reporters, psychologists and, indeed, army spokesmen continue to warn portentously, "We don't yet know the motive for the shootings." What a puzzle this piece of vacuity must be to audiences hearing it, some, no doubt, with outrage. To those not terrorized by fear of offending Muslim sensitivities, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's motive was instantly clear: It was an act of terrorism by a man with a record of expressing virulent, anti-American, pro-jihadist sentiments. All were conspicuous signs of danger his Army superiors chose to ignore. What is hard to ignore, now, is the growing derangement on all matters involving terrorism and Muslim sensitivities. Its chief symptoms: a palpitating fear of discomfiting facts and a willingness to discard those facts and embrace the richest possible variety of ludicrous theories as to the motives behind an act of Islamic terrorism. All this we have seen before but never in such naked form. The days following the Fort Hood rampage have told us more than we want to know, perhaps, about the depth and reach of this epidemic.
