I suspect the fact that he yelled 'allah akbar' as he began shooting could end speculation...

It's also suggested he was under investigation some months ago for internet postings relating to suicide bomings www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jwXtdoKPsNJg9PPKF7708ZC4N56AD9BPOI3O3

Interview here with ex-colleague: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPrT0T3371Q suggesting that he said Muslims should stand up to the aggressor and that the US should not be in Iraq.

It sez here: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1225627/12-killed-shooting-rampage-U-S-army-base.html that he was of Jordanian extraction.

Suspect is a recently promoted Army psychiatrist.

There is a raging speculation about the fact that he has an Islamic name, but nothing has been confirmed.

I read:

"There are unconfirmed reports that Major Hasan was a convert to Islam and originally from Virginia. He was reportedly scheduled to deploy to either Iraq or Afghanistan and was unhappy about it."

But I would take that with a pinch of salt.

There will doubtless be reprisals for Muslims in America, regardless of the facts.
