Some background info on the domestic terrorist.

Hasan had previously lived in the Roanoke, VA area since 1962. Apparently the family was Palestinian.

Noticed the left wing Roanoke Times stated the family was from "Palestine." I wasn't aware there was such a place except in the minds of the PLO, Hamas and friends of terrorists.

Sounds like the defense will push PTSD by proxy!

His problem was not social awkwardness. His problem was being an extremist Muslim. He was looking for a wife yet insisted that she wear a hijab! No wonder he was single.

I DON'T CARE!

The man's a killer and he's wasting a hospital bed, doctor's and nurse's talents and medical supplies.

Wheel him out and shoot him FOUR MORE TIMES!

1) He did it because he was socially awkward
2) He did it because he was about the be deployed over there
3) He did it because he was traumatized by dealing with men who had PTSD

4) He did it because he was a Muslim jihadist

When I used to work in a Muslim charter school (US taxpayer funded), a teacher was once reprimanded for passing out maps of the world to her students that showed Jerusalem as the capital of the country of Israel!

At that school I also learned that most Muslims in the U.S. are anti-American. Previous to this, I honestly believed the lie that Muslims are just like any other immigrant. I have to think that people who still think Muslims are generally peaceful have never met any actual Muslims.

This makes me sick. The media is trying to turn him into a poor misunderstood little wookie who just couldn’t get a break and, naturally, understandably, just had to express his unhappiness yesterday. By the end of the week, he’ll probably be a hero to them, an oppressed Muslim who had been deprived of his culture and took the only way left to him to express his pride in his heritage...well, you get the idea.

The real fact is that Muslims simply by virtue of being Muslims cannot be trusted. It’s a death cult and it nurtures hatred of non-Muslims in every single one of its members. He was just acting like a true Muslim, hating life and loving death.

Yes, notice it took about 3/4 of a page before the word “Muslim” was even used. Most people don’t read that far. We are supposed to think he was just like any other soldier.

I think this article comes down on the side of "lone, psycho, gun nut", rather than "radical Jihadi muslim with a hatred towards the US mission and his fellow soldiers". That's probably the operational template they want to get out there. They will have him soon down more as "hey, I hear voices in my head because they picked on me", than the guy screaming "Allahu Ahkbar" as he gunned people down.

The latter to me is more believable. But that might border on politically incorrect. Can't have THAT now, can we??

He sure fits a profile of a 9-11 type hijacker though, doesnt he?

This is the worst case of radical islamic terrorism on US soil since 9-11.

You lookin’ at me, infidel? Having two semiautomatics means never having to say you’re awkward.

The socialist media is trying to portray hims motivation due to some psychological problem in order to avoid discussing the root cause which is Islam. He refused to fight against his fellow Muslims. His allegiance as a Muslim is to Islam, not the country.

If Hasan was born in what is currently referred to as “the west bank” area of Israel, it would have been called Palestine in 1955. Why, that region was under the control of Jordan and was not a part of Israel. The “west bank” did not become Israeli territory until the 1967 war, when Egypt, Syria and Jordan attacked Israel — the “Yom Kippur War” is how it is remembered. The Israeli Army took Jerusalem and all of the west bank Jordanian territory after a couple of days battle with the Jordanian Army. King Hussein later spoke with regret about how he let himself be convinced by the Egyptains that the 3 countries could defeat and occupy all of Israel.
