US Muslims react to Texas shootings
A vigil has taken place for the 12 civilians and one soldier killed at an Ford Hood army base in Texas by army major Nidal Malik Hasan.
The shock at the killings has reverberated around America, and led to questions about the loyalty and trustworthiness of Muslim Americans, particularly those serving in the military.
Reporter Gavin Lee reports from Fort Hood on the aftermath of the shootings, and Muslim American lawyer and a playwright Wajahat Ali comments on Muslim's reaction to the incident.
This is an interview from the BBC after the Fort Hood killings by Hasan. There is a mosque in Fort Hood and according to this interview those that empathize with the people, be they Taliban or not, of Afghanistan have no sense of lawful conduct when it comes to their peer group. I do believe Fort Hood's identity is tainted by its purpose. The voice in the You Tube dialogue is a young man. The young men seem to be the ones with the greatest interest and problems even on a global basis, while some women have entered the fray from time to time.
...Abdo, who joined the Army (click here) in April of 2009, gained national attention last summer when he refused to deploy with his unit to Afghanistan, insisting his Muslim faith prevented him from serving. He fought his deployment since 2010 and gave multiple interviews.
“I was under the impression that I could serve both the US Army and my God simultaneously,’’ he said in a television interview with CNN last summer. “As the time had come near to deployment, I started really asking myself . . . whether God would accept what I was doing and whether I was really meant to go to war as opposed to the peace that Islam preaches.’’
Army officials said Abdo was granted conscientious objector status in May, but his discharge was put on hold after the Army said it had discovered child pornography on his computer....
The child pornography is sought as the men pursue their virgins after death. There is definately a sexual content to their 'identity crisis' that leads them to the rampage of massacre.
I probably did not make myself clear in the previous statement. Virgins. The young virgin. Their immature choices would reflect the dysfunction of their own personalities within their faith. More or less the influence of radicalized peers seeking a form of enticement to reality of an afterlife to literally 'die for.' I doubt these men would be acting on their impulse for 'kiddy porn' so much as using it as a dreamscape.
