Hasan Felt Discriminated Against, Wanted Out of Army

Suspect moved to San Antonio hospital

Share

(Newser) – Nidal Malik Hasan considered himself a victim of anti-Muslim bias and had been trying for 6 months to quit the Army, his cousin says. "I think because he’s a Muslim he didn’t want to go to Afghanistan or Iraq, and he didn’t want to expose himself to violence and death." a cousin who lives near the West Bank town of Ramallah tells the Times of London.

Hasan was transferred today from an unidentified hospital in central Texas, near Fort Hood, to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. A rep confirmed the transfer and said Hasan was under guard but couldn't comment on the reason for the move, the Express-News reports.

@driary. Exactly and whats with the Muslim fanatics on the streets in NYC supporting the terrorist act that Hasan did. That to me is total bullshit and if these Muslim fanatics hate America and want to kill Americans, well JFK Airport isn't that far away so get the hell out of America then because obviously you condone these terrorists acts and don't love America like we do so get the fuck out and don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out!!

Yeah! You know they hate our freedoms. Those towel monkeys should stop fighting back and just give us that oil! To think anything else makes you a bad American. I mean we never did nothing to nobody in the middle east, right? Jeeze young are you for real?

@ Johntitor, of course not, they don't hate our freedom in fact they love our freedom that's why they were out in droves in NYC protesting against Americans after the terrorist act by Hasin yesterday. The towel heads as you called them (racist remark by you johntitor) were using the 1st amendment. Guess what in Europe they would have been thrown in Jail for the shit they pulled yesterday on the streets of NYC, since they wouldn't have been protected by their first amendments rights! No they love the rights they have in America but not Americans!

So declare yourself a conscientious objector. There are avenues for that. I don't think that pregnant 21 year old was doing you any harm. Reply
