Nidal Malik Hasan 'was not a terrorist' Palestinian cousin says
Telegraph ^ | November 6, 2009 | Adrian Blomfield

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.

"What we imagine is that he could not take this bad treatment and gave vent unfortunately."

Another cousin, Mohammed Hasan, said he was unable to match the relative he knew and loved with the images he was seeing on a television in the dilapidated living room of his West Bank home.

"A relative called me at 2am and told me what had happened," he said. "The moment I turned on CNN, I found the details.

"I was dumbfounded. I could not believe we were talking about the same person. I tried to believe it was someone else's name I was hearing but unfortunately it was indeed the person they were reporting. It was my cousin."

In the house next door, Hasan's brother Anas had locked himself indoors with his wife, refusing to speak to anyone, including his relatives. ...

It's always somebody's else fault, never their own.

BTW, this is a common trait of Democrats as well.

There really is no solution to the mohammedan problem other than forced separation and isolation backed up by deadly force.

islam is terrorism, and its adherents need to be watched and harassed by local citizenry the same way they would harass and watch a cult of insane mass murdering child molesters, which is in fact what the islamists are.

Send them back, don't let any more in, and take the oil we found and get out of the ground and put the ragheads back to doing what they do best, which is camel riding, harassing women, and buggering young boys.

They obviously have no idea what to do with their oil money other than use it to attack the West, no reason to continue to enrich them.

The party or candidate that runs on this philosophy will win in a landslide.

No one is a terrorist until they commit an act of terrorism.

Obama was in training to be a Nigerian scam operator? Looks like he learned his lesson well.

Yes he was. He was not a victim; he was not a ‘good American’; and he most certainly wasn’t a victim of “Pre [(Post)] Tramastic Stress Disorder!

If he wasn’t a terrorist, then he was a monster, Islamic, murder and a hyena in human form. Is that a better description?

The reason thirteen people were killed and thirty people were wounded at Fort Hood by a Muslim fanatic is FOOM... yes foom - Fear of Offending Muslims... FOOM is an extreme form of PC ...

Who is guilty of practicing FOOM in this horrible incident? Those guilty include the command structure at Fort Hood, a large number of officers in the Pentagon, most of the U.S. Congress, the Lame Stream Media and anyone else who succumbs to PC and FOOM... and subsequently becomes a big fat weenie.

Islam is EVIL - plain and simple... PC related FOOM KILLS Americans. FIGHT PC - FIGHT FOOM.

I believe you are correct in your assement.

The statutory definition of domestic terrorism in the United States has changed many times over the years; also, it can be argued that acts of domestic terrorism have been occurring since long before any legal definition was set forth.

According to a memo produced by the FBI's Terrorist Research and Analytical Center in 1994, domestic terrorism was defined as "the unlawful use of force or violence, committed by a group(s) of two or more individuals, against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives."

Under current United States law, set forth in the USA PATRIOT Act, acts of domestic terrorism are those which:

"(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;

(B) appear to be intended— (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and

(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States."
