The day after the Fort Hood massacre, we’re now left to sort through the debris of the shooting. An Army doctor kills double digits of people and seriously maims many more; digusting.
But it’s looking more and more likely that gunman Nidal Hasan is that classic American archetype: The religiously-crazed lone gunman. Only, you know, Muslim instead of Christian. Witnesses state that gunman Nidal Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he mowed down his victims with a semi-automatic; NPR reports that Hasan was put on probatation during his postgraduate work for Islamic proselytizing while in the clock. It looks more and more likely that Hasan was also a regular reader of Saudi, Egyptian and Arab diasporic religious tracts.
So… we did some digging and found the inevitable: Hasan had written creepy religious rants online.
