So it is confirmed this lunatic also happened to be an Islamic lunatic. But I’m sure his peaceful and tolerant religion had nothing to do with him shooting up a military fort.
This guy was on Obama’s Homeland Security transitionary task force.

What do you think should happen so this doesn’t happen again? prevent muslims from joining the military?

That’s easy. Let soldiers have bullets in their guns. The second he burst into the room, he’d have been taken down.

Not ones that are still mentally in the sixth century, no.
But, I think Hassan had wanted to leave the military, but was prevented from doing so. Not that that necessitated him to commit violence on anyone, that was his choice for which he alone is morally responsible for, (barring he was mentally ill) but in the free world, people can change jobs whenever they want to. Only a slave is threatened with legalized murder or jail for wanting to change jobs, as the military has legal authority to do. Why wasn’t he allowed to leave the Army?
It is looking like this guy was more than just a Muslim - he was mentally disturbed. Islam seems to be the tool by which he was able to actually commit such an insane act of cruelty.
As for not allowing Muslims in the military, that would be silly. THere are few Muslims in there now. If we didn’t allow them, they would just lie anyway.
Why wasn’t he allowed to leave the Army?
Don’t know. He made a commitment. What was his term?
Looks as though he was an intern, a resident and then a fellow at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C From 2003 through this summer. So, that looks as though his entire education was funded based on his voluntary contract with the US Army.

If he was actually part of that transition team (a psychatrist working for the transition of Homeland Security?) as a Captain, non field grade officer, you’d think he would have plenty of connections politically to get out if he wanted.

He wasn’t allowed to leave the army because the army needs all of its professionals. The real question is why wasn’t he dishonorably discharged for his open advocacy of violence to protect muslims, which is treasonous given that there are muslims that have declared war on the U.S.
Just proves Muslims are evil and Islam is a dangerous doctrine. All religions are evil, but Islam is the worst, almost as bad as, but worse than Christianity/socialism/fascism. If Ayn Rand were alive today, she would have been on the forefront of the American capitalist war against Muslims and Islam. This incident is sick and disgusting.

Sounds like the story is being countered…

Just the ones who expressed anti American opinions in the past.

Soldiers will face jail time (no, not the death penalty, you are ill informed about that), for the same reason anyone else will face jail time: for breach of contract. Calling that slavery is absurd.
The reason why contracts are made in a specific way when the government hires soldiers stems from the nature of the job. Soldiers are not payed to peal potatoes on various bases around the World, they are hired so that they will go to war if one occurs. But, that requires training and constant readiness, and the only way to accomplish that is through longer term contracts, without the posibility to opt out without good reason.
I hope he survives his injuries so he can be put on trial and executed for his actions.

This is quite a silly statement to make. Certainly there are evil Muslims, but plenty of Muslims, especially in this country, are as decent as your average Christian.
Wow I am seeing a lot of unjustified hate and generalizations towards Muslims on here. I think some of you need to check yourselves.
From what I’ve heard about this Maj. Hassan, it would be hard to call him an Islamist, of the likes that we are at war with. Of course, the investigations are still on going, and much more information is likely to come out. My current opinion is that this person most likely committed this act due to factors ranging job related issues to other personal problems (some sort of victimization and isolation), with Islam being more of a solidifying factor or rallying point after he went off the deep end.

That’s because a number of people here don’t realize that Objectivism absolutely and unapoloetically identifies racism as a vice. Muslim is a race. Islam is a religion. It’s okay to say everybody who willingly follows islam is evil, just not to say that all muslims are evil because it’s not their choice to be muslim.

That is wrong. Islam is the religion. Muslim a person who follows Islam. The relation between the words is exactly parallel to Buddhist/Buddhism or Christian/Christianity.
edit: a better parallel would be Mohammedan/Mohammedism, perhaps even using their preferred terms grants too much.

This is silly. Grames already pointed it out. Muslim is an adherent of Islam. Now, if you were to hear someone say all Arabs or blacks (The two “races” that make up most of Islam’s constituents) are inferior, that would be racism
Objectivism rejects Islam and counts Muslims as being irrational for the same reasons they consider Christians, nominalists, Kantian philosophers, Nihilists, Pagans, Buddhists and plenty of other religions and philosophic trends that are inherently anti-reality and anti-reason.
Yeah I am not sure where you got the idea Muslim is a race, it is someone who believes in islam. It even means translated someone who submits to god, there are not racial connotations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim
I am just curious out of these people who are saying that all Muslims are evil if they are willing to carry this over to all Christians are evil, etc.
As far as the shooter himself, I would say Russk’s evaluation is the most appropriate, especially given the current information available, as well as this most likely being the case as a general rule.

Really, by saying that all Muslims are evil, you’re giving them too much credit for consistency. Islam is fundamentally contrary to one’s personal values, so most Muslims accept Islam only superficially - the same goes for Christians and Christianity. The ones you have to look out for are those that are consistent in their bad principles. So Islam is evil as an idea, but most Muslims are not evil in their actions.
