Terrorist or Not?

[NitroVal]

I dont care what you call him.... I call him a f*ckin a**holish murderer....
White, black, brown, yellow, it doesnt matter where you come from or what your motive is, murder is murder

I think thats something we can all agree on.

The interesting thing he was a person that was supposed to help army people with perceived mental problems. Why did this guy not show up on the radar with his associates?

It's worst then you think... that is not the only reason they find to "listen" to peoples private lives... big controversy...

It doesn't matter what you call him. He didn't keep his view a secret, Seems everybody knew about his views and nothing was done. If we refuse to even recognize a threat, we haven't got a chance. It's a damn shame. I agree most Muslims aren't a danger, but I don't seem to hear a lot of condemnation from them.

What was the threat prior to his actions? What should have been done about it? It does matter what you call him, otherwise the term "terrorist" becomes more and more meaningless. No doubt he has mental problems. I'm curious to see if we'll hear anything directly from this guy in the future.

I will not be surprised if he proclaims himself a warrior for Allah and try to martyr himself. I believe his intention was to commit suicide by cop. He failed at that. Now he has 13 murders to face in a military criminal justice system that does not screw around. Given his religious inclinations he has nothing to lose at this point in saying he was doing God's work.

Ironically in doing so he will serve to dishonor all the honest patriotic people of the Muslim faith serving proudly and honorably in our armed forces. Hopefully Allah gives him 71 infested goats instead of the virgins he thinks await him.

What was the threat of the 911 terrorist before they flew planes into the trade centers?
He did everything but wear a sign saying I'm a Muslim extremist nut job.
We knew a lot more about him than the 911 pilots.
First time we didn't think it could happen, now we are just closing our eyes.

[Rumdog]

Simple question, how can you prevent the future? Who "knew" about him? I didn't, did you?

[carsonschaos]

I guess we do nothing and get picked to pieces. Just put our efforts into hosing up the aftermath. Eventually they will tire. And all will be peaceful again.

I think people knew about him being Muslim, nothing wrong with that.. one of the issues, as I read or saw somewhere, was that he was being picked on due to his religion, that on itself is not something that can be called patriotic, specially within our armed forces. He had no plans of going postal or so is believed so far.
My personal believe, again, is that he had a weak mind, listen to problems day in, day out and when he heard he was going to war, he hit his breaking point. It's an unfortunate event... I could be wrong, but not so far...

There's probably more to this story than we realize. The fact of the matter is he killed 13 people. Forget about labeling him. What he did was wrong, plain and simple. Let's let the professionals analyze his intentions and motives. Here's a bit of background info. on Hasan... http://www.veteranstoday.com/modules...ticle&sid=9315

There are some people out there with some distorted thought processes. Like the cleric from Yemen who praised this guys actions. That's just sick that a man of God would praise this kind of senseless violence. As with most organizations and religions, they become home to fanaticals and "Broken Units."

that's what I have been trying to say Dom... it's a crime, forget his religion... if he is a terrorist, then he's a terrorist, let's not blame religions (I can't believe I am saying that).
