Forthood, Texas Rampage: A Worshipper’s Hardhearted Attack
By Mick Jackson
”Allahu Akbar!” This was the Arabic phrase, which means “God is great!”, was mentioned by Major Nidal Malik Hasan before firing his gun that killed 13 people and wounded 31 people in Forthood, Texas.
The psychiatrist of the Muslim army was said to attend morning prayers in a local mosque just hours before the bloddy rampage occured. It was reported that Hasan is devoted to his Muslim faith but was anxious by his future deployment to Afghanistan to be part of a war effort he is opposed to partly on religious grounds.
But, Hasan’s real plan for the rampage is still ambiguous while he is still in coma.
The killings was claimed as the most horrendous shooting that happened on United States military base.
Opinion?
So what went bad to the state of mind of Major Hasan that he committed a mass killing? This may be the question that is playing to the minds of many concerned individuals now after the news about the bloddy killings in Forthood, Texas broke out. Is he a real madman? Or was he driven by his Muslim belief?
The fact that Hasan is affiliated to the Muslim religion gave a crucial twist to his case. Everyone knows that religious faith is a topic that will always be controversial, especially if the concerned faith is Muslim. This is the reason why the religious action of Major Hasan like praying in the mosque and shouting “God is great!” before he shooted those people are taken seriously by everyone.
It is possible that Hasan encountered some religious harassment that fueled his rage to do such brutal action, especially that he’s depicted to have a solid devotion to his Muslim faith. However, his religious association might not be the main factor in this story. After he fired his gun for 100 rounds and he killed 13 people and it comprises of an expecting woman and he seriously harmed 31 people, Major Hasan could be claimed to have a problem in his state of mind. And It’s not impossible.
And there may still be other point of views, but as long as Major Hasan remained in coma, the only thing we could do is guess and give opinions. It is definitely not correct to judge or make a conclusion that Major Hasan do such horrendous crime was because of his religious faith.
