According to numerous eyewitness accounts, Hasan denounced the "war on terror" as a war against Islam, said Muslims should attack Americans in retaliation for the war in Iraq, defended suicide bombers and said he was "happy" when a Muslim murdered a soldier at a military recruiting center in Arkansas earlier this year.

Stranger still, he wasn't auditioning for his own show on MSNBC when he made these statements.

A few years ago, Hasan delivered an hour-long PowerPoint lecture to an audience of doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, arguing that non-Muslims should be beheaded and have burning oil poured down their throats.

He had tried to contact al-Qaida, and at least one U.S. intelligence official says the Army knew it.

Despite being well aware of Hasan's disturbing views and conduct, the Army did nothing.

Something needs to be done about those that encourage acts of violence. You aren't allowed to yell Fire in a crowded theatre so why is this allowed?

I would also like to know who were his sponsers on his blog. Most are supported by advertising aren't they? Who were the advertisers?

And he was American born. And a cleric so no one wants to touch religious freedom but what about when it encourages acts of violence and murder?

But once again lets not overlook other events at Ft Hood.

"Before Oct. 16, 1991, the Central Texas town of Killeen was perhaps best known for its proximity to the Army base at Fort Hood, and Luby's was known only regionally as a popular cafeteria chain.

But on that day, both came to be linked to what was then the worst mass murder in U.S. history.

At 12:45 p.m., 35-year-old George Hennard of nearby Belton drove his pickup truck through a window at the Killeen Luby's and killed 24 people."

24 people dies, he was a former soldier and was upset about Clarence Thomas hearings, didn't like women and various other things said after he committed that act.

Plus 76 suicides at that base since 2003.

There has been more than one murder/suicide.

Sep 12, 2008 5:55:53 EDT

"KILLEEN, Texas — The dispute that led a Fort Hood soldier to kill his lieutenant and then himself may have been sparked by missing military equipment.

Killeen police said Tuesday that 24-year-old Lt. Robert Bartlett Fletcher of Jensen Beach, Fla., had gone with a staff sergeant to talk to a 22-year-old specialist under their command.

The specialist was set to be discharged soon, and some equipment was missing.

Police called to the scene on Monday saw the specialist shoot Fletcher to death before killing himself. The staff sergeant was not injured."

And domestic violence cases that also ended in murder/suicide.

The answer that this one person had different religious beliefs or cultural attitudes is overly simple, it is an easy popular answer but it overlooks a lot. There is something much more serious going on here.

Although you're busy putting the finishing touches to your Christmas preparations, you'll also have to pay attention to someone who's feeling neglected or unloved. Luckily, it won't take much to make this person feel better, so a big hug or a little consideration might do the trick. You should also bear in mind that they may be feeling nostalgic or sad about the past.
