He's an extremist in his religious reviews, just like some Christians
who kill abortion doctors. Yes, they have other problems but they
are still extreme in their religious views. People also bring their
own interpretations to a religion.

It was Major Hasan, though, who increasingly felt let down by the
military, and deeply conflicted by his religion, said those who knew
him through the mosque. Duane Reasoner Jr., an 18-year-old substitute
teacher whose parents worked at Fort Hood, said Major Hassan was told
he would be sent to Afghanistan on Nov. 28, and he did not like it.

"He said he should quit the Army," Mr. Reasoner said. "In the Koran,
you're not supposed to have alliances with Jews or Christian or
others, and if you are killed in the military fighting against
Muslims, you will go to hell."

-----------------------------------------------

As I read that, I wondered why he didn't quit the Army?

He certainly knew the strings to pull. A rational
person would have, even if they held "extreme" religious
views.

I don't think there's one single reason he did this, except
for his own weakness and failures.

It doesn't even make sense. He must have been really depressed, with
attendant scrambled thinking.

Yup. I'm wondering about increasing anger, that fomented
in his lonely life. Remember, he even talked to one of his
religious leaders about finding a wife.....something he'd never
been able to do.

There's plenty of single women (civilians and military)
available to officers. The only ones I never knew to have
a relationship, were the closeted gays.
