NIDAL MALIK HASAN, DOCTOR TURNED MASS-MURDERER OF FORT HOOD!

'No faith justifies the killing of the innocent' and with those words, President Barack Obama led Americans as they mourn the 12 soldiers and one civilian police officer killed; and commiserate with the 31 wounded, in a senseless act of violence in the homeland, in Fort Hood, Killeen, Texas, United States of America! In President Barack Obama's own words, "It's difficult enough when we lose these brave Americans in battles overseas. It is horrifying that they should come under fire at an Army base on American soil." Icheoku mourns alongside and blames this act of cowardice on the political correctness of our society which tries to accommodate every faith, including those which in their traditional native lands, persecutes and even kill people who profess other faiths? But should the Muslim faith be prohibited or banned in America; no, not when we have freedom of worship enshrined in our constitution; but if only these other countries will be held to reciprocate our magnanimity in allowing freedom of religious worship?

But as is being suggested, this murderous extremist army major, prior to his dastardly massacre, manifested series of anti-American sentiments while simulteanouesly benefiting from America? Icheoku says, he should have long ago been put under surveillance and peradventure his terrorist-act would have never come to fruition; but rather nipped in the bud. But his was not the first as we have had occasions in the past where crazed-out soldiers opened fire on their colleagues in uniform? In April 2005, Sgt. Hasan Akbar, another Muslim, of the 101st Airborne Division, was sentenced to death for a grenade attack on his comrades in March 2003 in Kuwait, at the beginning of the Iraq war. Sergeant Akbar was convicted of premeditated murder and attempted premeditated murder after he threw grenades into tents and then fired on soldiers, killing two officers and wounding 14 at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait. Akbar was a Muslim fanatic, rogue member of the United States Army deployed in a forward operating base inside Kuwait. In June 2009 another Muslim convert targeted a US military recruitment center in Arkansas killing a US soldier. Icheoku asks, what else does anyone out there need to see, to understand that these Muslims are on a mission to infiltrate and harm America from within. Their hatred of our ways and means of life is so deeply entrenched that neither good education nor life's exposure could change their mindset for the better? The killings at Fort Hood, by an army psychiatrist, who also is a Muslim, seriously begs the question:- why are these guys so hateful and violent towards anything and everything America? While agreeing that 'suicide bombing is an Islamic version of Japanese kamikaze', since both involves someone sacrificing his/her own life to take others' life/lives, fuelled by whatever they believed in which motivated such self condemnation; we make strong exception that unlike the Japanese Kamikaze, Islamist suicide bombers are surreptitious and are not easily clearly identifiable through the apparatus of uniforms or a state, for the purposes of activating any and/or all available defenses which may be available for the attacked victim, to checkmate such attack.

Eight years down the road since Operation Swift began and inside a United States military base in Fort Hood Texas, another fringed out Muslim, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, once again acted out his 'vengeance' against the United States by violating the sanctity of their military base. Armed with two handguns, he strolled casually inside a unit where unarmed soldiers were getting their final briefing preparatory to deployment to Afghanistan and unleashed another Islamic violence against their fabled 'SATAN?' Icheoku says, and these people still live here among us and tormenting us, instead of moving back to wherever their brand of lunacy called religion holds sway; maybe somewhere in the Middle East?

Regrettably, indoctrination of any kind is such a mind-altering hallucinogenous drugs, which when taken, fanatically, and despite the taker being a medical doctor/psychiatrist, turns loose the animal in that person and converting him into a ravaging beast. This was what Major Nidal Malik Hasan transformed into last Thursday November 5, 2009, a murderous dog, who himself was a victim of Islamic brain-washing? How could such a highly educated man methodically and coldly execute his fellow comrades in arms who are getting ready to ship out to a battle theater in Afghanistan? What went wrong and caused a psychiatrist who ordinarily should be helping soldiers through their traumatic conditions and now himself sick beyond repairs, that he chose to let off his fatal steam on his colleagues? Icheoku asks, why didn't this guy commit suicide or just go AWOL? Why didn't this murderer pretend or act to be insane and be excused from deployment by reason of insanity; rather than the abominable approach he took? The many whys are just too numerous to enumerate here, but permit Icheoku to say that this rabid-dog, fully weighed his available options but the boiling anger and hatred of a country that gave him the most breaks out of life, made him do it. Simply put, Major Nidal Malik Hasan was blinded by a misplaced rage which his psychotic mind holds against America!

What could make a highly educated PhD holder become so convinced that his Allah wants him to take these innocent lives that armed with two short guns, he started blasting away is fellow soldiers? Except of course he buys into the notion espoused by the Islamist terrorists which sees America as the problem, hence anything and everything America is a fair target. Army psychiatrist, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, whose duty is to treat mentally depraved soldiers, found himself afflicted with such a great mental disease and a breakdown which he cannot and could not treat himself of. But unlike other similarly situated mental patients, he did not or refused to seek counselling, treatment or sought the desired help that would have possibly prevented the oddity of what was witnessed at Fort Hood, Texas!

That Major Hassan was chanting some invocations of "Allahu Akbar," during his mayhem in Fort Hood, as he opened fire with two handguns on clusters of soldiers who were waiting for medical examinations and other processes in the base's Soldier Readiness Processing Center; preparatory to their deployment to Afghanistan, translates the tragedy into a religious one! Icheoku says, it is the pig Hasan who introduced religious element into this incident and if any Muslim suffers any backlash as a result, he is the only responsible party to take the blame. The good news however is that Muslims make up less than 0.3 percent of America's 548,000 active duty military forces, with 2,500 Muslims, 1,500 of them on active duty. Compared to 105,000 Roman Catholics, 99,000 Baptists, 1,800 Jewish, 2,500 atheists and more than 101,000 without any religious affiliation.

President Obama succintly summarized the mood of many Americans when he said, "It's difficult enough when we lose these brave Americans in battles overseas; It is horrifying that they should come under fire at an Army base on American soil." It is instructive to note that soldiers at Fort Hood don't carry weapons unless they are doing training exercises, otherwise killer Hasan would not have easily had his way to kill as many as he succeeded in killing. Also it is the same neck of the wood where on Octeober 16, 1991, George Hennard smashed his pickup truck through a Luby's Cafeteria window in Killeen, Texas, and opened fired on the lunchtime crowd with a high-powered pistol, killing 22 people and wounding at least 20 others; before taking his own life. No other shooting at a military base in the U.S. has been anywhere near as deadly as It is also the most deadly shooting in any recorded history. In 1993, a gunman at Fort Knox shot five civilian co-workers, killing three, and then fatally shot himself. Located half-way between Austin and Waco Texas on a 339 square miles space, with 52,000 stationed troops, Fort Hood is the largest active duty armored post in the United States. Fort Hood, opened in September 1942 as America geared up for World War II, was named for Gen. John Bell Hood of the Confederacy. It has been used continuously for armor training and is charged with maintaining readiness for combat missions.

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, a 1997 biochemistry graduate of Virginia Tech University and a PhD in psychiatry lived at 11300 block of Connecticut Avenue in Kensington, Maryland. He is an orphan, single and had no children; he has two brothers and is admittedly straight not gay. But he is also a fanatical Muslim who got his brainwashing at the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring, Maryland. Hopefully this is not evident that Al-Queida has finally and successfully infiltrated the US army through these Muslim-soldiers in the US army! Should they be fired or re-assigned to merely office duties, Icheoku does not know the answer, but a far-reaching action need to be taken to forestall such dastardly act from ever happening in the future; not on America soil or any other place. Also talk-radio show hosts should reduce their rhetoric of hate so that these non-American Americans can feel fully Americanised enough, with vested interest herein, not to hate Americans with so much passion as to motivate this type of daring high scale violence. And if according to stories making the rounds that Major Nidal Hasan "was making outlandish comments condemning our foreign policy and claimed Muslims had the right to rise up and attack Americans;" Icheoku asks why didn't the authorities do something drastic about him before this tragedy which would have since taken care of this emblematic Major Murderer? Why have Muslims not risen up against all those tyrants in the Middle East whose despotism forced the likes of Nidal Malik Hassan and/or their parents to escape to America for safety and freedom? Why didn't they rise up and overthrow their despotic leaders and stay back there in their native countries, instead of violently abusing our hospitality in this way? How so deranged this killer is, that he forgot that the Iraq war is now almost over and that US troops have since withdrawn from the cities of Iraq? Where was his sorry arse when Saddam Hussein was grinding his fellow Muslims in Iraq in meat grinders for daring to open their dirty mouth to complain about his regime's atrocities? Where was Nidal Malik Hasan and his spirit of uprising?

Like the popular aphorism goes, this doctor could not heal himself, and hence the carnage at Fort Hood, Killen Texas! His name even remind us of the notorious hijacker, Abu Nidal of the PLO. Major Nidal Malik Hassan was simply put, an enemy within, a green snake in a green grass who was lying in wait for the right opportunity and moment to exact a vengeance; which he saw and took on Thursday, jumping with joy at the opportunity to get at America by shedding the blood of her defenders?

If we buy into his warped, twisted logic that America should not have been involved in the war in Iraq in the first place and that was his primary beef; Icheoku queries since when did Major Nidal Malik Hasan transmutate from being an army-man who robotically carry out the wishes and orders of the Commander-In-Chief, to now, a policy wonk formulating policies and deciding which wars America should fight? Nobody forced Nidal Hasan into our all-volunteer United States military; so why the complaints about America? That such a wacko who had openly contemplated strapping bomb on himself and detonating same in Times Square was allowed to still remain in the military, after such remarks and demonstrative antagonism towards the United States, was a serious case and cause for concern, typifying where the oversight supervisory function of the military authorities failed the military! Why did Hasan dread going to Iraq so much that he would rather kill his fellow soldiers as a diversion to stop his ship-off? Why was going into the real thing for which he freely enrolled into the military, accepted their scholarships through college and the university, and post-graduate PhD, trained for now such a nightmarish experience for this uncircumcised mallam? Was it out of cowardice or his delusion that the war was against Muslims and not terrorists? Icheoku asks this murderer, are those people being blown up in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan not all Muslims and who is doing the blowing up? Muslims nay, terrorists Muslim brothers aka Mujahadeens? May be Major Nidal Malik Hasan is just a lilly-livered girlie man, who could not man-up at about the hour his training and the investment made on him was called upon for service aka pay-back time? Since Major Hasan was born in the state of Virginia, a U.S. citizen, of Palestine-Jordanian descent and having never lived outside the United States, one wonders how, where and why the legs of his anti-American fanaticism sprouted from? What founded his fanatiscism? The answer is simple, Islamic brain-washing.

It is rather an aberration for a sick demented mind, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, to equate suicide bombing with the heroic example of a US soldier who used his body to shield his comrades from a lobbed grenade. While in the later, the soldier sacrificed to save lives; in the case of suicide/homicide bomber, the bomber selfishly used his body as a weapon of mass destruction to take lives. Icheoku strongly disagrees that the war against terror is tantamount to war against Islam. Admitted the 19 terrorists that brought down the world trade centers' twin towers as well as part of the Pentagon are all Muslims from the citadel of Islam Saudi Arabia; yet Saudi Arabi was not attacked? So where is the war against Islam being waged without first striking at the heart of Islam? The United States found out that there was no official approval from the house of Saud, custodians of the Muslim faith, hence removed 9/11 from Muslim agenda hence the decision to just isolate and destroy only the terrorist master-minds. So America is just going after the bad guys who are also slaughtering their same faith brothers and sisters in Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan and God knows where; but definietly not waging any war against a religion. It is as ridiculous as it is laughable for a man with so much knowledge like Major Nidal Malik Hasan to try to equate or link the war against terror to a war against Islam. But permeating the mind of a killer is such a difficult task that Icheoku surmises, 'when a supposed healer turns into a rabid-killer, who then shall save mankind from itself and his environment? In the words of one commentator, 'the 39-year-old Army psychiatrist emerged as a study in contradictions: a polite man who stewed with discontent, a counselor who needed to be counseled himself, a professional healer now suspected of cutting down the fellow soldiers he was sworn to help.' Icheoku says, halla!

Whether Major Hasan was harassed, teased or taunted for who he is, is just not sufficient enough reason for his taking of so many lives in revenge as he did? Icheoku does not buy either that a 39 year old man, a PhD in psychiatry will so easily fall and become so bewitched to a crass brainwashing of Islam; to the extent that he will commit such heinous murders as was witnessed in Fort Hood. But you never know with these fanatics; and now Nidal's action has been praised by one of them - the radical American imam of Yemen origin, Anwar al Awlaki. In his words of praise for Nidal, Awlaki said, "Nidal Hassan is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people." Icheoku says, what a stark lunacy in display, calling a bloody murderer a hero? That shows how messed up the brains of these people really are! The fallacy of the Islamic religion, a religion of hate that approves and supports such tragic, bloody and horrific outburst of violence that killed 13 and wounded 31 of our finest and bravest friends of freedom. May God help us all get through this madness that was the massacre at Fort Hood.
