WASHINGTON — Born and reared in Virginia, the son of immigrant parents from a small town near Jerusalem, he joined the Army right out of high school, against his parents’ wishes. The Army, in turn, put him through college and then medical school, where he trained to be a psychiatrist.
But Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the 39-year-old man accused of Thursday’s mass shooting at Fort Hood, Tex., started having second thoughts about his military career a few years ago after other soldiers harassed him for being a Muslim, he told relatives in Virginia.
The Associated Press, quoted federal law enforcement officials saying Major Hasan had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that mentioned suicide bombings and other threats.
But Nader Hasan, 40, a lawyer living in Northern Virginia, described his cousin as a respectful, hard-working man who had devoted himself to his parents and his career.
He said his cousin had been a practicing Muslim who had become more devout after the deaths of his parents, in 1998 and 2001. But he said he had not expressed anti-American views or radical ideas.

His cousin is a jihadist pig coward who knew these soldiers were unarmed which is exactly why he chose this place at this time.
So instead of turning his gun on himself, he shoots innocent solders who have nothing to do with his deployment.
Hassan was a LIB who was po’d that he had to ACTUALLY go to war after the Army paid for his medical education and had expected Obozo to quickly end the war.
LIBS are ALWAYS “victims” and the slimes will happily help round out this story!
What BS, he should have been arrested before this happened.
Well, he sure proved them wrong, didn't he?!
Oh, wait...
We are sure to get an ear-full about this.
>> “He was mortified by the idea of having to deploy,” Mr. Hasan said. “He had people telling him on a daily basis the horrors they saw over there.”
Uh huh. So as a consequence of this mortification, he SHOT forty-three people. Right.
I pray the families of the dead victims of this evil slaughter will fire back with harsh words at the NY Times for their blatant attempt at making the shooter/murderer a “victim”.
Granted, the military dropped the ball in dismissing this guy’s disturbed psychosis. Plenty of people heard him make outlandish anti-American comments regarding the war. There should be no place in our military where our soldiers should have to put up with anyone’s anti-war rhetoric.
Well being “mortified” and “harassed” always justifies gunning down at least 40 unarmed innocents. The New Jihad Times is never wrong.
Hey NYTimes COMMIES, here’s what Winston Churchill has to say about the ONLY RELIGION YOU LIKE:
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.
The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
— Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 [London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899]).
Don’t join the effing army if you don’t want to go to war. The guy is a jihadist mass murderer, I can’t believe the media in this country.
other soldiers harassed him for being a Muslim
We are sure to get an ear-full about this.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And that is such BS.
As a former junior EM, NCO and officer...I can assure you that it’s extremely unlikely that a MAJOR(!) was being teased in a petty schoolyard manner.
And, if this person (since the words “officer” and “soldier” would be cheapened if I referred to him that way) couldn’t handle a bit of razzing, then WTF was he doing in uniform?
Proven to be a damn lie! He made the comment about being a Muslim and should stand up against the infidels when the Little Rock, AR shooting happened! Col. Terry Lee worked with him and said that is what he told him.
He also made a comment about Obama pulling troops out and things would settle down.
So, it was the soldiers fault.
The media is despicable.
Ten bucks says that within a year Hassan appears on Oprah.
Well now he gets out of having to deploy.
Like to clarify that I didn’t think YOU were full of BS...just that the idea that he was being harassed resulted in this is BS.
So how is it that the feds knew about this guy and yet he continued to have clearance to secure locations? Why wasn't he brought up on charges or drummed out of the service? Political correctness run amuck.
So the NYTimes and this terrorist feel fine with killing Americans? Just not terrorists in Iraq? Glad they straightened that out.
Why didn’t he just retire. I would think that would be what a decent and normal person would do.
The spin only took a couple hours to begin
-Mental problems,
-Teased by other soldiers
-Conscientious objector forced into a Bush war.
it was Ft Hood and America’s fault not his. /s
Odd. I don’t recall this sort of empathetic tone in the NYT about the guy who shot the abortion doctor.
I want to go sit outside the unemployment office these people will go to so I can laugh as they all trudge in to collect their unemployment checks.
really....just ACCUSED says the article....!? I mean they can’t even confirm that....they have to make it seem like he’s the poor guy that just happened to be around.
BS. He got his entire education paid for, including medical school. Then he chose a specialty (psychiatry) where he thought the odds were good he wouldn't be deployed.
He had no problem going to war on our unarmed soldiers.
you nailed it.
should have told them he was Gay...would have gotten out quietly with his educ paid for...Makes me wonder if he WAS gay but couldn’t admit THAT...no wife, no kids..and Moooslims can’t say they are gay.
That report has been denied by his coworker tonight, the coworker said the OPPOSITE was true, that it was Hasan who did all trash talking...and because he was a Major, no one would have spoken to him that way...who knows. I sure some lib lawyer will be defending him in no time.
“So how is it that the feds knew about this guy and yet he continued to have clearance to secure locations?”
You forget who’s living at 1600 Penn.
All this time in the military and he had no idea war was hell.
The damned bloody coward. Glad he lives to face the consequences of his ugly act.
“He said his cousin had been a practicing Muslim who had become more devout after the deaths of his parents, in 1998 and 2001. But he said he had not expressed anti-American views or radical ideas.”
This always wins me friends when I express it, but...
I believe it is utterly impossible to be a devout Muslim and at the same time believe in the rights that the BOR/Constitution grant us; i.e., be a freedom loving American. The Muslim faith is by its very nature “anti-American” and “radical.” Much like admiring our Founding Fathers and Karl Marx at the same...they’re diametrically opposed.
I guess I should have made that, “ We are sure to get an ear-full about this, from his defense layers.” True. It is just so much BS.
“His cousin is a jihadist pig coward who knew these soldiers were unarmed which is exactly why he chose this place at this time.”
Exactly.

“He said his cousin had been a practicing Muslim who had become more devout after the deaths of his parents, in 1998 and 2001.”
Conveniently sandwhiched in between the events of 9/11.
I hate the NYT with the intensity of a thousand suns.
Devout Muslims DON'T fight other Muslims for Infidels!!!!
Its in the Koran!!!! Its what they believe. Just like they believe Muslims who convert to another reason have to be killed, people who try to convert Muslims to other religions should be killed, the World is a stage for a continuing war between Muslims and Infidels, Muslims must rule Infidels and convert them, dancing is evil, pictures and images of people are evil, dogs are unclean, pork is unclean, liquor is taboo and women should be treated like property.
WHEN ARE AMERICANS GOING TO WAKE UP????
All we have to do is look at Western Europe. We should get these creatures OUT of here - every last Mothers’ son of them before they kill or convert us all.
“...other soldiers harassed him for being a Muslim”
Oh, moose manure. He was a bloody Major. Who was harassing him. Colonels and Generals?

A neighbor said he and his brother lived together and they were such nice men.
But, she didn’t want her name revealed.
I suspect you are correct and his computer will reveal the truth.
I hope this wacko survives and goes on trial

My diagnosis..This guy was GAY!!!!!
He's in the Army, not the Postal service. The closest he'll get to Oprah is the TV in his room, provided he has one. He'll be confined pending the final disposition of this case. You have no "right to bail" under the UCMJ.
We all knew he was a protected minority (aka. muslim ROP, etc.) when the media and the feds wouldn’t release his name for 3 hours. Lets just pay his familiy (like the “flying imams”) a few million and cast ourselves at the muslim’s mercy and hope our whole country ends up like Dearborn or NJ.
So instead of turning his gun on himself, he shoots innocent solders who have nothing to do with his deployment.”
Suicide is forbidden in Islam.....unles you die killing infidels.

Suicide is forbidden in Islam.....unless you die killing infidels.
Well then maybe the Army was a poor career choice. You see, it turns out that when you join the military, you are sometimes expected to deploy. It's weird how that works!
