I could tell you the motive, and I’m on the other side of the country.

Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

Nader Hasan also said his cousin had complained, as a Muslim, of harassment by fellow soldiers.

Multiple shooting incidents are not uncommon in the United States, where there are relatively lax gun controls.

Amazing.

He shoots a couple dozen people while dressed in traditional Muslim garb and shouting "allahu akbar" and they're wondering what the motive is?

What the hell is wrong with these people?

While the dirtball had been taped earlier in the day wearing Muslim garb, when he entered the center, and began shooting, he was in uniform...

The killer did this because he had never accepted Barack Hussein Obama as his personal savior. (mmm, mmm, mmm) /sarc>

By the way, Obama should also return his Nobel Peace Prize over this: he IS the commander-in-chief.

Prayers for the families.

The suspected gunman, Major Nidal Malik Hasan

I suspect he was a Muslim with a short fuse.

Maybe they should contact the lawyer and find out what he told the murderer Hasan. Chances are he was told that he had no choice but to obey orders.

Who cares why he killed. Fact is, he did.

They should concentrate on taking steps on preventing this from happening again. It shouldn't have happened in the first place.

"Nader Hasan also said his cousin had complained, as a Muslim, of harassment by fellow soldiers."

Fellow soldiers? The guy was a Major, not a PFC. Who's harassing him, Lt.Cols and flag officers? I don't think so.

Troops don't harass officers, not even if they're Muslim officers. Good lawd, the media is gullible.

Its the Islam, stupid! There are those so blind they will not acknowledge the truth in front of them.
