The media is starting to post stories about the shooter's background.
I, personally, found this little snippet to be somewhat telling and more than a little sad.
A co-worker at Walter Reed said Hasan would not allow his photo to be taken with female co-workers, which became an issue during Christmas season when employees often took group photos. Co-workers would find a solo photo of Hasan and post it on the bulletin board without his permission.
It does not, of course, excuse what he did but it does give a window into what may have been going through his mind before it so obviously snapped?
Why do whatever majority of people involved in a workplace, school. etc, always feel as though their way is the only "right" way and insist that others fall in line with their beliefs, all the while showing absolutely no respect for anyone else's possible beliefs?
Who here would not be outraged if their coworkers consistantly went behind their backs and did things to them which they had already specifically requested not be done?
Why is it so important to people that everyone celebrate "their" holidays even when it does not coincide with a religious belief?
Why is this not considered harrassment?
You make several valid points above which I agree with. I've had my face superimposed upon some magazine cover and pasted on the company bulletin board and I actually liked it. Granted, it did not insult my beliefs in any way.
The baffling part in all of this is that the man studied and (I believe) he was a psychiatrist. But he obviously reacted in a manner reflective of an unstable person. He didn't want to be sent to the middle east, yet he chose to remain in the military (or maybe they wouldn't release him). But it makes one wonder why the guy joined in the first place. I mean, does anyone join the military and expect NOT to see active conflict?

Did you read the post before mine it already hinted at the "hate christmas" syndrome the poor guy might have been offended at America's cultures because they were different than his well thats to god damned bad this is America not Palestine, if I lived in China and didn't like their holidays I would ignore them, if Xmas bothers Muslims living in America to the point they want to kill somebody they should get the hell out of America and go back to the Middle East where they will be happy.
This ain't about christmas, it is about you taking any opportunity to spread the hate, all the while we do not know the details.. and in your rush to judgement, there is no respect for the families of these men and women, only another opportunity to spread your vile, tired message... let them mourn for chrissakes... respect thier lives.
BTW this guy was born in the US, went to school in the US, had been in the Army since 1997.. he was part of the "American Culture".... "poor guy might have been" is hardly a standard of anything except your warped view.

I just don't get why you get to spread your anti-semitism here and none of the liberals on this board ever say a word about it.
You obviously think it is ok to hate Jews and than admonish others for racism
Your bigoted ass should be thrown off this board. The Julian Edelman thread was the biggest disgrace in the history of patsfans soley because of your anti-semitism.
The answer to that is, most far left liberals are now themselves Anti Semites, they have a Love Affair with Islam.

And when your Muslim coworkers start insisting you, too, wear a scarf and fast on Ramadan then, and only then, can you have a valid claim to rash and nosebleed.
It's not about "seeing" Christmas, Harry, it's about being made to participate in it. Every one of us who is not a Christian is used to "seeing" Christmas - what we're not too comfortable with is being forced to participate in it.
I wouldn't be too happy in a burka, either, but I'll be damned if I'll deny someone else the right to wear one - just as I wouldn't want to deny a Christian the right to celebrate Christmas or to wear a crucifix around their neck - but I draw the line at peoplel using my picture to help celebrate a birthday for someone I don't believe in. Just as I'm sure you'd object to your picture being hung on a Hanukkah Bush or gracing a Ramadan board.
We go through this every Xmas now, Xmas bugs the hell out of the liberals, it's enough to make a person vomit to watch that dumpy little ET look alike Katie Couric put on her Pie Face Grin and tell you she no longer says "Merry Christmas" then she blabbers out her "Happy Holiday" bull*****, Jesus jumping Christ I'm getting sick now just thinking about it, I have to go.

Hasan Akbar: two dead, fourteen injured.
The Fort Dix plot: thwarted but a potential for hundreds to have been killed
Now this. Thirteen dead, 30 wounded.
The Huffington Post spun faster, asserting that “there is no concrete reporting as to whether Nidal Malik Hasan was in fact a Muslim or an Arab.”
Yet there was, and what’s more, Major Hasan’s motive was perfectly clear — but it was one that the forces of political correctness and the Islamic advocacy groups in the United States have been working for years to obscure.
As Harry Boy says, The people know, those of us who aren't shackled by the tenets of political correctness, that Stalinist plague found at most of our colleges and universities.
Thats OK to say about Christians but it's Racist to say it about a Muslim.
Its not racist to say that, only the self righteous ultra left wing PCers would say it is.
I have to be careful what i post, i just got up and am not alert, i could say something that could be misconstrued. A religious fanatic is a religious fanatic whether they're Christian Muslim, Hindu etc.
The answer to that is, most far left liberals are now themselves Anti Semites, they have a Love Affair with Islam.
You're absolutely correct, Harry Boy.
Here's the most recent evidence. NBC Producer to Anti-ACORN Group: ‘Bite Me, Jew Boy!’Harry Boy, it's another reason smart Jews (like me, who also own guns) are getting out of secular Europe. Too many Jews, though, still subscribe to yesterday's notion that it is Christians who pose the greater threat. In fact, our biggest friends are the conservative Evangelical Christians.
I am sadly acknowledging the truth of Norman Podhoretz's new book. Here

Yeah, because when I think of the voice of American Jews, I think Norman Podhoretz
