Who is Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan?
Associated Press ^ | Novemeber 4th 2009

Posted on 11/05/2009 3:24:50 PM PST by chemical_boy

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Associated Press is reporting that a source has told them the shooting suspect in Thursday's attacks on the Fort Hood Army Post in Texas is Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan, an Army mental health professional.

The attacks on Ft. Hood left 12 people dead and 31 wounded. Authorities killed the gunman, who is said to be Hasan, and apprehended two other soldiers suspected in the attack.

According to the AP, a defense official said Hasan was a mental health professional—either an Army psychologist or psychiatrist. It's not known if he was treating people at the post.

The AP said that officials are trying to determine if Hasan was his birth name, or if he converted to the Islamic faith at some point in his life. He was believed to have been in his late 30s.

FOX News reports the soldier who was the gunman in the attacks is from Virginia, but they have not confirmed his name. They also report that the shooter was not happy about the prospect of being deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.

According to Lt. Gen. Bob Cone at Fort Hood, the shooter used two handguns in the attacks at the Soldier Readiness Center on Thursday around 1:30 CDT. The gunman was then shot and killed by a civilian policeman.

His medical record has been posted. No experience. No hospital affiliations. No board qualifications. Total loser who (if I may be so bold) is certain to have been affirmative actioned through medical school. And the US Army took him? At 39, passed over twice for LtCol. A real winner.

AlQaeda high fives in Afghanistan.

Insurgent high fives in Baghdad.

Liberal high fives at Code Pink...and in the White House.

Whether it is fair or not to all Muslims serving in the military, the fact is that we cannot trust Muslims with Middle East connections. The military is not about being fair, it is about protecting our country by fighting if necessary. You cannot have people serving in the military wondering whether their brother in arms is a friend or a foe. Trust is essential, and it is impossible to trust any Muslim.

Amen.

To Al Qaeda, he is a huge hero.

A goofy thing about SJS (Sudden Jihad Syndrome) is that even "fallen" Muslims who have been drinking and whoring for years can fall to it. It happens when they meet the right immam, who puts the fear of allah back in him, and suggests that only by waging jihad and becoming a "martyr" (sic) can he cleanse his soul and enter paradise.

Fox News - Shep Smith - interviewing Col. Terry Lee (Ret) who knew Hasan - and said he would often speak out against our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan saying that “maybe the Muslims need to stand up to ...”....and that he was going to be deployed to Iraq in late 2009 and was going through the channels because he very much against going.

But stupid Shep Smith is saying still this was one man who went on a shooting spree himself.....(why are there 2 other suspects in custody, then, Shep??)

Earlier on Fox it was repoted that Hasan came through VIRGINIA TECH - someone on FR named Va. Tech area as where “these people” are often based...is there a Muslim Mosque there or something?

Who said he was psycho? He may have been rationally and thoughtfully planning an act of jihad.

This point is still confusing... there have been reports that those two have been released but military is still looking for other people.

This isn’t adding up to me.

Could someone explain to me how one Islamofreak with a couple of handguns can take out 40 of our military on one of the biggest military installations on the planet before getting popped himself? 40 killed or wounded?

OH I had not heard that the other 2 suspects had been released. I had heard that no “all clear” had been sounded yet because Fort Hood is so large and they were having to check everything out to be absolutely sure.

hmmm - wouldn't be the first time some horrific incident was triggered deliberately to push something else off the news -

This is certainly dominating the news - how many of you have seen coverage of the thousands of WE THE PEOPLE who showed up at the Capitol today???

Seen them going through the halls of the House?

Seen them with Michelle Bachman - saw the other big names that said they'd be there, like Jon Voight?

Certainly, on the heels of the drubbing they took in Tues’s elections, they wouldn't want another big example of how the people are against them and their health bill to be front page -

I have no doubt they have ‘sleepers’ ready to ‘wake up’ when they deem the need,

Was this a Wag the Dog moment?

Heard a military consultant earlier saying something to the effect that where and when this shooting occurred, the soldiers would not have been armed.

First news I heard was that at least 1 or more of the dead were SWAT guys, not military.
