Nidal Hasan: "Muslims in the Military"

  The Fort Hood shooting was a mass shooting that took place on November 5, 2009. Fort Hood is the populous U.S. Military Installation in the world, its located jut outside of Killeen, Texas. A gunman killed 13 people and wounded 30 others. All fingers are being pointed at Nidal Hasan. Nidal was a U.S. Army Major serving as a psychiatrist. He was shot at and is now paralyzed from the chest down. 

  Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, he may face additional charges at court-martial. He was an American-born Muslim of Palestinian descent. Investigations before and after the shootings showed e-mails where Hasan was communicating with Anwar al-Awlaki, and he told Hasan that "he was a hero because fighting against the U.S. Army is an" Islamic duty". Government agencies began doing research on Hasan, but they found that he had no known links to terrorist groups. Hasan showed up to work one day, went and sat down at his desk, and bowed his head for several minutes. Next thing you know, he stood up.........and opened fire in the building. He shot at the soldiers that were in the same office as him and then on a crowd of people gathered for a college graduation ceremony. Its unknown but as seen by eyewitnesses, Hasan focused more on the soldiers in uniform.

1. Can certain religions be trusted in the Military?
2. Should the government cut down even more on who's allowed to join any armed forces, including the navy, marines, and air force?
3. Can citizens truly trust their troops?

This article is a real eye opener. It makes you wonder is our government really safe. If we cant trust our troops who protect our lives each and every day then who can we trust.....how are we suppose to feel safe when troops are killing each other. Religion is a very important part of peoples lives but when is the line drawn at what's right and what's wrong to believe in your religion. This article makes you wonder.....can u really trust your country?
