Hasan’s West Bank Family Blames The Army
The family of the Fort Hood shooting suspect Nidal Hasan is rejecting claims he was linked to Islamist radicals.
A close relative spoke to Sky News in the West Bank town of Ramallah on condition of anonymity, afraid of reprisals against his family in America.
With Hasan now out of a coma in hospital, his relative spoke of the extreme pressures the military doctor had been working under, treating injured patients returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“He was taking things very personally. When he talked about certain patients he was crying,” the relative said.
“He was complaining there was not enough time to treat his patients properly. He could not separate his emotions from his job”.
The relative insists the American military had a duty of care to its employee which it may have neglected with tragic consequences.
“The authorities must investigate if the military failed to help him when he needed help,” the family member explained.
The US government has confirmed communications between Hasan and a radical Muslim cleric were investigated last year but did not merit further inquiry.
Investigators concluded he was corresponding with the cleric about a research paper on the effects of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Hasan’s family in the Palestinian town of Ramallah said he did not fit the profile of an Islamist recruit.
A highly-qualified military doctor, he had been in the army for 22 years and was far from impressionable and easily led, it said.
“He has a strong mind. It is very difficult to persuade him,” a relative said.
He was a patriot and loved America, the relative continued. When his parents died he insisted they were buried in the States, because he said it was their country.
“He was very loving. If you go back to high school he was the kindest kid.
“He tried to help everyone. And he hated the sight of blood. When he watched the delivery of a baby he fainted because of the blood.”
Hasan’s Palestinian family is struggling to come to terms with the news from America.
“I sympathise with the victims,” the relative said.
“Honestly I feel their pain like they are my own. I am deeply sorry for what happened and I hope and wish it had never happened and my heart bleeds for them.”
But the relative warned against a rush to judgement and the automatic assumption that he was motivated by his religion when other personal factors may have been at work.

“The family of the Fort Hood shooting suspect Nidal Hasan is rejecting claims he was linked to Islamist radicals.”
What the hell was he doing then contacting Al Qaeda recruiters and hanging out with the jihadists? Gathering material for a research paper or another powerpoint presentation on how to deal with infidels?
Why..Why..Why is it so hard to understand how a man’s religion can influence his conduct. Is it because our “elite” are so godless themselves they can’t grasp the simplest of religious concepts that would motivate a devout Muslim to act on his beliefs? Infreakingcredible. As a Christian, I honestly believe that I have more in common with Hasan the Muslim on several levels than I would with the likes of Markos Moulitsas, Janeane Garofalo, Kieth Olberman, Chris Matthews, Michael Moore, or General George Casey for that matter with all the other merchants of politically incorrect crap. I can tell you that my religion influences my life in many important ways. I am commanded to love my enemies. Hasan is commanded to kill his. Hasan is no different. Let’s stop with patronizing Hasan and minimalizing his religion. HE IS A DEVOUT MUSLIM JIHADI and MUJIHEDDIN WHO WANTED TO DIE AS A MARTYR IN THE WILL OF ALLAH IN ORDER TO OBTAIN FAVOR WITH ALLAH IN PARADISE BY KILLING THE INFIDEL AS OUTLINED IN THE KORAN AND SUPPORTED BY THE HADITH BECAUSE A MUSLIM IS COMMANDED TO LOVE DEATH MORE THAN LIFE, AND THEREBY TO PRACTICE OFFENSIVE JIHAD AGAINST THE INFIDEL UNTIL THE FLAG OF ISLAM (Sharia)FLIES OVER THE WORLD AND ISLAM REIGNS SUPREME. What is so hard to understand about this? Until we understand this, and believe this, we are shadow boxing.
So, in essence his family is saying his biases didn’t enable him to be a loyal American.
Hmm, now how obvious is that?
Hasan’s family can piss off!!!
