Topic: the myth that "all muslims are terrorists" (article) | |
---|---|
Six months ago, the FBI made inquiries into his background because of Internet postings apparently in support of suicide bombers. He also became more and more vocal about his opposition to the war. Retired Colonel Tery Lee, who worked with Hasan, said: ‘He was making outlandish comments condemning our foreign policy and claimed Muslims had the right to rise up and attack Americans.’ A few hours before launching his attack, he was seen on a security video in a shop near the base wearing a white cap and white robe. His aunt, Noel Hasan, said he had been harassed about being a Muslim and wanted out of the Army. ‘Some people can take it and some people cannot,’ she said Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1225627/Fort-Hood-shootings-Army-major-Nidal-Malik-Hasan-kills-12-injures-31-shootout-troops-army-base.html#ixzz0sYugrlEE So you've backed my assertion that he probably had mental problems.

ou falsely assume the causal factor is his Muslim-ness. People here made the same fallacious connection to German-ness during the 30's and 40's. If the author would dig deeper into the story, he would probably find that Hassan has serious psychological problems. Psychologists in and out of the Armed Forces know that there is a significant correlation between military service and spousal abuse, so that is probably the greater causal factor. ------------------------------------------------------------------- no falsenees there, HB he has admited it over 20 times since then... read up. This happened about a year ago, and in texas, it's still in the news a lot. And yes, anyone who opens fire on 43 people has issues, duh. "Falseness" is different than fallacy (the latter of which you employed in your post). you said i falsely assume... And I elaborated on it after that. ![]() |
