Maj Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people at a Texas military base, had become increasingly devoted to Islam following the death of his parents but was no terrorist, his cousins in the West Bank said on Friday. Speaking from their home in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Hasan's relatives painted a picture of a man cornered into an act of "lunacy" by the repeated discrimination of his peers and an attempt by the army to force him to serve in Afghanistan.
"They discriminated against him because he was a Muslim," Mohammed Mohammed, one of Hasan's cousins, told the Daily Telegraph. "We're not trying to make excuses for him but what we were told was that he was under a lot of pressure.
...
According to his cousins, Hasan was badly scarred by the deaths of his parents in 1998 and 2001. Along with his two brothers, he became increasingly devout, they said.
"They became very religious after their mother died," Mohammed Hasan said. "They were very observant. They prayed a lot."
Yet the two cousins insisted that the major's religion was not tinged with political fanaticism, although they said he had become increasingly withdrawn and uncommunicative in recent years.

DEAR STUPID COUSIN: YES HE FREAKING WAS!!!!!!!!! Plus, he was a cold blooded murdering thug from the gutter so called religion of Izzzzzzzllluuuuuummmmmm!
Yes, and Obama’s not a Muslim.
The teachable moment here is:
An American Woman Took down one of your tiny zib brethern!
An American Woman Stopped Jihad Nidal!
An American Woman Doesn’t take shit off any two bit, mealy mouthed, American hating muslim.
A Woman, An American Woman, bested your guy.
dear cousin,,,,,,,,,,,,TALK TO THE HAND..........
We’re speaking of him in the past tense again?
Is he dead or still alive.
Oh, Doctor, what’s the prognosis here, hmmmm?
Momma said; “Terrorist is as Terrorist does”. That’s what Momma said. Care for a chocolate?
“was no terrorist, his cousins in the West Bank said on Friday.”
So what is a terrorist (by West Bank standards)?
No, he is just an ordinary Muslim who committed a terrorist act. Just like Clinton was not a liar, he was an honest guy who lied. After all, only after you commit the action multiple times that you can be called those names. /s
An interesting aside from a friend who works for a federal institution, “Well, when I left work, no order had come down to lower the flag, even though the news reported an order would be issued. “
Have they ordered one yet??
I am both surprised and disgusted by the massive media campaign to try to make this guy as a poor misguided nice guy.
Does anyone, at least anyone not totally mind altered by liberalism think that if this guy had done this at an abortion clinic, would not he be vilified in the most extraordinary terms. And it would keep going for years.
I work at a federal facility. All outdoor flags were at half staff today.
PRESSURE??? PRESSURE???? What the HELL did he EXPECT?? He is an ISLAMIST TERRORIST!
I have been properly trained by Napolitano.
I know now that Malik Abu Nidal was a man-caused disaster maker.
The problem is he is a member of the religion of pieces.
It won’t be very long before either or probably both the FBI and Homeland Security Department announce that the attack was not terrorists related.
Saying it so doesn’t make it so.
OK, glad we got that cleared up. Cousin says no terrorism here, must be the truth. Move along, folks, story over. (sarc off)
Just in case...I’d put a watch on everyone drinking from that same well.
I kid you not.
