En stakkels frustreret psykiater

I Fort Hood, Texas, gik en major ved navn Hasan amok og skød en bunke mennesker, angiveligt fordi han ikke ville til Irak. Han kunne vel teknisk set have valgt at vende skyderen den anden vej, men det gjorde han sjovt nok ikke. Hans "frustrationer" skulle åbenbart gå ud over nogen andre. WaPo antyder nogle sympatier hos manden, som måske har været medvirkende i hans valg af "frustreret" virkemiddel:

The Associated Press reported that Hasan attracted the attention of law enforcement authorities in recent months after an Internet posting under the screen name "NidalHasan" compared Islamic suicide bombers to Japanese kamikaze pilots. "To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate," the posting read. "It's more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause."

He steered clear of female colleagues, co-workers said, and despite devout religious practices, listed himself in Army records as having no religious preference.

A longtime Walter Reed colleague who referred patients to psychiatrists said co-workers avoided sending service members to Hasan because of his unusual manner and solitary work habits.

Denne lille bemærkning i NY Times er morsom:

The Muslim Public Affairs Council, speaking for many American Muslims, condemned the shootings as a “heinous incident” and said, “We share the sentiment of our president.”

Hvorfor føler dette muslimske råd trang til at ytre sig? Resten af NYT-artiklen nævner da ikke noget om gerningsmandens religion?

Uanset hvad, så har EkstraBladet et billede af ham i noget der ligner profet-outfit:
