U.S.: The Fort Hood shooter’s cousin says discrimination was an issue

  • He was a major in the Army and other majors wouldn’t treat him equally as a major should be treated. ‘Yes, you are a major in the U.S. Army, but you are still an Arab, a Muslim, you have your own traditions and values and we have ours.’ He was bothered by that a lot. He wasn’t respected as he should have been.
  • Palestinian national Mohammad Munif Abdallah Hasan • Cousin of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, describing why he thinks his cousin snapped. Mohammad says Nidal, who was born in Palestine, had wanted to leave the Army, getting to the point of a lawyer, but was unable to get out. Again, signs are not pointing to this being a terrorist attack, but one by a disgruntled soldier who just happens to be Muslim. • source

U.S.: “Allahu Ackbar!” the phrase on everyone’s mind this morning

“Allahu Ackbar!”
  • Word on the street is that the gunman, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted this before opening fire. The phrase, by the way, is called the Takbir and means “Allah is the Greatest.” Even if he didn’t have any specific terrorist group ties, he appears to have sympathized with them to some degree. Someday, someone will make a movie about this man, who appears to be a ball of contradiction.source

U.S.: Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan called “Camel Jockey” by peers

  • Just keep in mind mass killers pretty much know they want to die and they tend to take as many people with them as they can in a shooting. It is one of those things where he went and wanted to kill a lot of people and commit suicide maybe in his own mind that he’s saving peoples’ lives.
  • Ex-FBI agent (and ABC News consultant) Brad Garrett • Trying to explain the mindset of Nidal Malik Hasan, who regularly faced criticism in the military from his peers due to his race and religion. He did, however, say things that seemed to validate that fear of him. Most notably, he commented on the Internet at some point that suicide bombings were like soldiers jumping on bombs, trying to protect others. So clearly, not of a traditional mind on the matter. • source

  • Why did he crack? The best explanation we have so far? Nidal Malik Hasan, a single 39-year-old who was recently promoted to Major, was angry that he had to go to Iraq. The place he shot up was used to prepare soliders to deploy. Other suspects are in custody as well. Evidence does NOT point to terrorism. source
