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.

I thought all muslims were socially awkward with western civilization. As in everything they believe in is contrary to our society.

[Jack Hammer]

“Suspected Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan: Social awkwardness kept with him into adulthood.”

Oh dear; well, then, it seems that society is to blame after all.

[50sDad]

In my day, if you were “socially awkward”, you just played D&D. Got the testosterone out of your system, had friends, nobody got hurt. Now, I wonder what made this guy into a homicidal maniac mass murderer...hummm....

[50sDad]

You know, they have lists of "suspicious behavior" for teens...sudden loss of interest in fun activites, new friends, depressed talk...things that parents are supposed to pick up on and use as red flags as to drug use, gang activity, that kind of thing.

We need to add to that list "any interest at all in the murderer's religion of Islam."

Palestine is a region, not a country.

"He must have snapped," Noel Hasan said.

No. Some other Muslim put ideas of jihad into his head.

[NotSoModerate]

Funny how if this guy were white with a name like Smith we wouldn’t see stuff written like this.

[Condor51]

And so it begins... The bleeding heart, leftist, pc bullcarp that, 'society made him do it'.

So instead of prosecuting him when he gets out of the hospital I guess we should through him a ..

'Nidal, We All Love You Party'.

Then afterward we'll have BIG group hug, sing songs and roast marshmallows over a campfire.

Gee, I already feel all warm and fuzzy. I think I'm gonna cry :-(

He was not a fighter, even as a child and young man. But when he became upset, his face turns red. You can read him in his face."

Geez, if only someone had noticed the red-faced dude in thobe and gutra! GMAFB!!!!!!!!

[NRA1995]

Get ‘em all out of our military and out of this country.

[bray]

That and being brainwashed by a Death Cult that wants to kill infidels. Sorta like the Establishmedia PC brainwashing.

Pray for America and Ft Hood

This isn’t sociological, it’s political. Allah Akhbar does not translate to ‘I am an Amish pacifist’.

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.

About the same as saying someone is from Africa or the Middle East, though technically a bit more accurate. That entire region is Palestine and has been divided up into various countries, but it's still Palestine.

Neighbors on Vinton’s Ramada Road remembered him as a “studious” boy who went by “Michael.”

Mohammed is the Arabic equivalent of Michael.

[Grampa Dave]

Did Homeland Security and the Brass at Walter Reed ignore his rantings, promoted him and sent him to Ft Hood?

Mark Stein does a great job of shredding the pc bs and getting to reality of Islamic Killers in America and around the world:

MARK STEYN: MULTICULTURAL ILLUSIONS KILL - NO STRATEGY TO DEFEND AGAINST IDEOLOGY
dakota beacon ^ | November 06, 2009 | Mark Steyn

Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 9:36:18 AM by Mount Athos

Thirteen dead and 31 wounded would be a bad day for the US military in Afghanistan, and a great victory for the Taliban. When it happens in Texas, in the heart of the biggest military base in the nation, at a processing center for soldiers either returning from or deploying to combat overseas, it is not merely a “tragedy” (as too many people called it) but a glimpse of a potentially fatal flaw at the heart of what we have called, since 9/11, the “war on terror”. Brave soldiers trained to hunt down and kill America’s enemy abroad were killed in the safety and security of home by, in essence, the same enemy – a man who believes in and supports everything the enemy does.

And he’s a US Army major.

And his superior officers and other authorities knew about his beliefs but seemed to think it was just a bit of harmless multicultural diversity – as if believing that “the Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor” (ie, his fellow American soldiers) and writing Internet paeans to the “noble” “heroism” of suicide bombers and, indeed, objectively supporting the other side in an active war is to be regarded as just some kind of alternative lifestyle that adds to the general vibrancy of the base.

When it emerged early on Thursday afternoon that the shooter was Nidal Malik Hasan, there appeared shortly thereafter on Twitter a flurry of posts with the striking formulation: “Please judge Major Malik Nadal [sic] by his actions and not by his name.”

The above is an excerpt. Go to the link below for Mark’s complete oped.

He was unmarried and had no children. Colleagues at Walter Reed reported he shied away from contact with women.

That's understandable. If you're socially awkward, women can be harsh to you, IMO.

But more importantly, he did it because he was a GEEK! /s
