Some who knew Nidal Malik Hasan said they saw clear signs the young Army psychiatrist, who authorities say went on a shooting spree at the Army base Fort Hood that left 13 dead and 29 others wounded, had no place in the military.
There was the classroom presentation that justified suicide bombings. Comments to colleagues about a climate of persecution faced by Muslims in the military. Conversations with a mosque leader that became incoherent.
After he arrived at Fort Hood, Hasan was conflicted about what to tell fellow Muslim soldiers about the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, alarming an Islamic community leader from whom he sought counsel.
"I told him, `There's something wrong with you,'" Osman Danquah, co-founder of the Islamic Community of Greater Killeen, told The Associated Press on Saturday. "I didn't get the feeling he was talking for himself, but something just didn't seem right."

I’d guess, just off hand, that an enthusiastic Nazi who had somehow gotten into the 82nd Airborne in 1943 might have felt a “climate of persecution” too.
Ray Charles, Jose Feliciano and Stevie Wonder could have seen these signs...the PC bullshite that runs our lives prevented us from doing anything about it...do the terrorist bastards have a good enough read on us yet? I think they do and if we don’t change our ways, we’ll be getting a steady diet of this terror at home, in the public and in our OWN MILITARY for cripes sake...what happened to fighting them there so we don’t have to fight them here? Obama...
Interesting. A lot of politically correct nonsense in the body of this article, typical AP. But the headline and the lead paragraphs are clear enough as to what the problem was.
I.e., he was a crazed Muslim terrorist, and the army knew it for more than a year (not six months, as earlier stories said) but nobody did anything about it, because it would have been politically incorrect to treat a Muslim like anyone else.
Instead they wrote positive fitness reports and promoted him to Major.
Warning signs? THEY ENCOURAGED HIM TO DO THIS.
Those who witnessed and ignored Hasan’s lectures of murder
in the US Army are murderers in this treason before-the-fact.
“Instead they wrote positive fitness reports and promoted him to Major.”
I read the wrote NEGATIVE fitness reports, and promoted him to major.
Even the local muslims thought he was dangerous, and meanwhile the Army saw fit to fast-track this terrorist to Major, while ignoring his praise of suicide bombers. heads really need to roll over this PC crap getting American soldiers killed.
People are starting to blame the Army for not kicking Hasan out. What a bunch of BS. Look how hard a time they had to get Chaplain James Yee out of the Army for his muslim actions. The government doesn’t want to admit that it does not want to face charges of muslim bigotry for kicking those muslims out of the service that should be kicked out. Matter of fact they should all be kicked out and none let in. This isn’t going to happen as the military is actually seeking more muslims for the service.
Tha Killeen Iman is the first Muslim I believe
and is the first one I think gets what America is about and how muslims should view us
There are those who listen to their gut, and instincts.
And there are those who listen to Obama urge Americans to deny reality.
And so they do. Deny reality.
Great point. But the times they ain’t a changin’...they’ve already changed!
If anyone who “noticed” had said anything they’d have been charged with racism. If they were officers that would have been the end of their careers.
Part of the problem here was that Hasan *wanted* out of the military, and he wanted this very shortly after getting a free medical degree from the military and completing his residency, which would have allowed him to go off and make lots of money as a civilian psychiatrist. SOME of the resistance to booting him out was certainly related to this. It’s possible some of the officials who got reports about the warning signs he was displaying thought he was faking or exaggerating in hopes of getting out of the military.
Our government, starting with Bush, says this isn’t a war against Islam. The creep who killed 13 at Ft. Hood knew it was against Islam. As long as they know what they’re fighting for and we don’t, we will lose this “war”.
So far I have not seen anyone point out that being a Psychiatrist the man lived and worked in a world of mental health experts from enlisted to officer, they were the ones sheltering him and being ignorant of what he was, the only ordinary soldiers this guy was around were his patients.
This is a condemnation of the mental health community.
Yep.
Well, add "enlisted men" to those whose careers would have been cut short.
Yes they do and they will tell you why here. Listen to the guy at 5:14 into the clip if you want the short version.
And of course, see how they employ the standard operating procedure here in the article, But Hasan's family described a man incapable of the attack, calling him a devoted doctor and devout Muslim who showed no signs that he might lash out with violence. I've known my brother Nidal to be a peaceful, loving and compassionate person who has shown great interest in the medical field and in helping others," said his brother, Eyad Hasan, of Sterling, Virginia, in a statement. He has never committed an act of violence and was always known to be a good, law-abiding citizen. Taqiyya
People are afraid to mention “signs” less they be condemned as
being a racist. Damned if we do, damned if we don’t.
Well Eyad Hasan, that just changed. He is now a murderer.
Kind of makes you wonder about the status of the people he treated.
Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.
