Maybe if they weren't spending their resrources entrapping people respsonsible for the discovery of water on the moon, they wouldn't of overlooked a crazy infidel hating fanatic inside the worlds largest military base.

38. Who were the other two shooters?
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (11.06.09)
The implications for the USA and other western nations are very significant if they were Muslims or Muslim sympathizers also.
39. Fight terrorism with all your might!
Ron B. ,   Lod   (11.06.09)
History reveals very clearly that the apathetic give way to the passionate and the complacent are subdued by the committed. This is the time for people to rise up and defend our freedoms. Defeating global terrorism is the single most important issue of our time. It is more important than global warming, than welfare reform, than stem cell research, even than reproductive rights. And that’s because none of those issues can be addressed if we’ve been subjugated to Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. Punish them where it hurts most as explained at : http://xrl.us/biz8x

44. Update on the Shooting
NYC Girl   (11.06.09)
Although original reports said that Hasan was a convert, he's a Muslim American of Jordanian extraction, born in the U.S. In regard to whether there were any accomplices, it appears that Hasan acted alone. In addition, the news of this event was very muddled, and it was first reported that both Hasan and the female officer who shot him had been killed. Both are alive and in stable condition, the woman having undergone surgery for her injuries.

that is not true. read the papers AND LOOK AT THE NEW INFORMATION. his muslim cousin was interviewed on the fox news channel and told shepard that,"... no, he was always a muslim. his parents are arabs that immigrated to the usa from jordan. their son, this murderer, was born in the usa, recieved his education by entering the us army after high school, and continued to get a medical degree in psychiatry. BUT HE WAS ALWAYS AN ARAB MUSLIM WITGH A US CITIZENSHIP. you know...the usual home grown terroris. he never converted. he is an arab who is a muslim living in the usa. hameed aboughaze, iranian

(11.06.09)
read the latest news. HE IS NOT A CONVERT AT ALL. HE IS THE SON OF JORDANIAN PALESTINIAN ARABS WHO IMMIGRATED TO THE USA. HE WAS BORN IN THE USA, IN VIRGINIA, I BELIEVE. finished high school and joined the military so thathe can get a rotc free education to medical school. became a psyciatrist and worked as one in walter reed hospital in d.c. he was fired from there and sent to fort hood. they interviewed his arab cousin on the fox channel. his cousin said that HE WAS NEVER A CONVERT AT ALL. HE WAS BORN A MUSLIM FROM JORDANIAN PARENTS. HE WAS ALWAYS A MUSLIM. hameed aboughaze, iranian
47. Parents born Palestinians
observer   (11.06.09)
Nidal Hasan compared the heroism of a soldier who throws himself on a grenade to protect fellow soldiers to suicide bombers who sacrifice themselves to protect Muslims. “If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory,”
48. reporting this news is probably a warcrime
daniel   (11.06.09)
and of course an insult to muslims. It's really not nice of us to complain about it when they put us out of our misery
49. so.. the Horror of War is not only in the Muslim countries .
RJBH ,   Methil   (11.06.09)
It comes home to bite the US in its own military Base..An Enlightening event for the US.
50. Muslim Pride
cas reader   (11.06.09)
The US should bear partial responsibility for the shooting incident. It is very insensitive of Hasan's superiors to have the intention to deploy him to Iraq and Afghanistan, knowing that Hasan is a Muslim. It is also unfair that Hasan was racially ridiculed by his colleagues, if this is proven to be true. Are these explanations an excuse for the massacre - certainly not but it shows the reality of living in the 21st century where the major conflicts will be between the Muslim world and the West.

Marcel ,   Florida   (11.06.09)
We in the government have to deny that this was an Islamic terrorist related attack because that would expose us as incompetent fools and liars as we sell the peaceful religion of Islam. The FBI as always is disclaiming this as a Moslem terrorist attack. We have alot of spin to do on this because the nut was one of our mental health professionals. I hope no one asks why we gave him a poor performance report and then promoted him to Major. They might figure out that we reward incompetent Moslems and failure and put our soldiers at risk for our perversity,diversity agenda. Moral would suffer if the troops figured out that they are led by idiots. We will try and hide his Islam connection and convert him to a Christian or Jew posthumously or blame drugs after one of our special autopsy's . It's more important to cover up or to downplay the fact that he was a Moslem and keep the American people dumbed down than to tell the truth because we have sell Islam as a good religion. It is also very important that we seperate the Major from his religion and the media wil help us in this as they always do. We'll have this story scrubbed and off the headlines in a few days to keep our lie going. US govt.
52. NOTICE ALL THE TIP TOEING AROUND THE ISLAMIC BACKGROUND
stude ham   (11.06.09)

57. To @52 How right you are..
James ,   ISRAEL   (11.06.09)
Before I begin:May I send my deepest condolences to the families who lost brave REAL American soldiers.May they rest in PEACE AMEN. Had it been a Jew/Israeli there would be none stop accusations. When I was at Washington Post they were already trying to point out the "stress" factor & accusing the REAL AMERICAN soldiers behaving badly.In short the cowards making excuses..Why?Well,not to upset the apple cart with the rest of Muslims. I cannot fathom the fact the US has not learned from past lessons,and allows the Muslims to be admitted into the miltary.With their Islamist mentality this is not a surprise. Have any of you remember the so-called muslim soldier serving in an American basein Iraq and,who threw a granade into the tent of his (so-called brothers in arms)? That was during G.W Bush. When will the western people LEARN? I would not give them an inch. The fact he is only injured makes me so angry...he should be hung not treated in an American hospital.Also the others they have not been identied? All enemies within the US of A. Sick to the back teeth with all Muslims world wide. Oh that is not to say there are not quite a few who are genuingly good Muslims..They are.BUT! the majority they have to keep a low profile for fear of persecution.
58. Response to # 40
R C ,   USA   (11.06.09)
Don’t you understand what we are dealing with? This war was declared on us, in case you forgot 911. These deranged Muslim radicals are not going to stop, because they think they are following their G-d’s instruction to either convert us to Islam or exterminate us. Just what do you suggest that we do? Putting our necks on the chopping block is not an option. We have to find, capture, or eradicate Bin Laden and his cohorts to stop the spreading of this vile, murderous mentality from spreading before we are dragged into world war three by these very unstable and dangerous people.
59. He's a US citizen
Imafreeagent ,   Florida   (11.06.09)
The issue is not his race, religion or ethnicity. The issue is his loyalty to the United States.
60. I have no idea of the motivation of the shooter
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.06.09)
Neither does anybody else here. What would have been the reaction if his name was Shlomo Goldstein? Come on you are acting just like the left wing and Arab medias, jumping to conclusions without the facts. Thirteen American soldiers have lost their lives and all I can do is offer a prayer.
