Fort Hood shooter a devout, observant Muslim

Evidently he was not a convert to Islam, but was a lifelong — and observant — Muslim. “At least 12 killed in shooting at Fort Hood, Tex.,” by William Branigin and Carrie Johnson for the Washington Post, November 5 (thanks to Peter Collier):

[...] Hasan was a psychiatrist, according to acquaintances of his in Washington, and a Pentagon source said he was recently reassigned from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington to work with soldiers at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood.
Hasan was a U.S. citizen, according to Virginia voting records, and his parents are Palestinians from the West Bank, according to his aunt, Noel Hasan of Falls Church. He was born at Arlington Hospital Center.

Hasan, 39, had lived in Montgomery County, Md., and Arlington, Va., in addition to Roanoke and nearby Vinton, Va. He graduated from Virginia Tech and earned his medical degree at Bethesda’s Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, records show.

Hasan attended the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring and was “very devout,” according to Faizul Khan, a former imam at the center. Khan said Hasan attended prayers at least once a day, seven days a week, often in his Army fatigues.

Khan also said Hasan applied to an annual matrimonial seminar that matches Muslims looking for spouses. “I don’t think he ever had a match, because he had too many conditions,” Khan said.

“Never waste a good crisis”.

I wonder if this will be used to help Pelosi, Reid and Obama shove healthcare and cap and trade down American’s throats.

I am suspecting (perp was/is?) Wahhabist (Salafism), the most extreme branch of Islam (Saudi based), based on the Wahabbi text he commented on online and also now the reports of his extreme devout attendence at the mosque. Lets check out that Mosque in Maryland, I'll reckon it may be لوهابية (Al-Wahhābīyya‎ Sect).

KILLEEN -

SNIPPET: “News Channel 25’s Henry Rosoff was on the scene as police first established a perimeter. Officers told Henry they were waiting to search Hasan’s apartment until the Fort Hood Bomb Squad could clear the building.

Neighbors told News Channel 25 that Thursday Morning, Hasan was giving away all of his furniture and copies of the Qu’ ran. They said Hasan was supposed to deploy in the coming days.”

WASHINGTON — Military officials say Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspected shooter at Fort Hood, was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July.

They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed. The Virginia-born soldier is single with no children. He is 39 years old.

He is a graduate of Virginia Tech, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry in 1997. At Walter Reed, he did an internship, residency and a fellowship.
