The massacre at Ft. Hood last week was a despicable act.
There is discussion pro and con to the character of Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.
Whatever the rational of Hasan at the moment he decided to leap on a desk and shout “Allahu akbar!” – Allah is greatest – before opening fire and spraying more than 100 bullets inside a crowded building. With the result of killing 13 and wounding 30.
Hasan remains a cold blooded killer and deserves to be treated as one.
Allah’s judgment already seems to be in process since Hasan has yet to meet his maker surrounded by a bevy of virgins. Instead he is sequestered in some hospital and likely to be paralyzed for the rest of his life.
A far cry I would imagine from the outcome he expected or intended.
