There very little official information about Malik Nidal Husan, the alleged gunman in the Fort Hood shooting.
It’s not even clear how exactly his name is spelled. We’ve seen news reports referring to him as Malik Nadal Husan, Malik Nidal Husan, Malik Nadal Hussan, Malik Nidal Hussan, Nidal Malik Husan, and Nidal Malik Hussan.
“Virginia state medical licensing records list a Nidal Malik Hasan as a psychiatrist for the Army Medical Corps, with his primary practice at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood,” McClatchy reports. “The phone number listed for him in the Virginia records, which carried a Maryland area code, was unanswered.”
According to the records, Hasan completed a residency in psychiatry at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. in 2007 and additional training in disaster and preventive psychiatry at Uniformed Services University Of the Health Sciences F. Edward Herbert School of Medicine, Bethesda, Md.. At least 12 people were killed and 31 wounded in a shooting at Fort Hood Army Base near Killeen, Texas, when at least one gunmen opened fire on soldiers who were making their final deployment preparations.
At the Center for Traumatic Studies we found this profile.

He needs a psychiatrist
Gee…. I wonder what his religious background could be? Hmmmm… I wonder…
Now they are saying Shooter is alive!!
ABC News reported tonight that Malik Nidal Hussan used to be very outspoken about his views that the Muslims in Iraq should fight back against the invaders. They quoted a Sgt. Terry Hall stating,”The ‘us’ meant the United States.”
I want to know is if everyone in Fort Hood knew about this guy’s views and knew he was a convert to Islam, WHY WAS HE ALLOWED TO RETAIN HIS SECURITY CLEARANCE AND ENTER THE BASE!!!!???????
His parents came to America from Jordon and are Arab Muslims.
Does AnyOdMilvado1 think that only a Muslim could do such a thing?
AynOdMilvado–I apologize for the typographical error in my spelling of your user name in post #6.
My father is a psychologist and worked at the base with Hasan – he called me after Hasan’s name was released – according to my father, Hasan was a top psychiatrist and specialist in PTSD and counseled soldiers with violent, suicidal, and depressive problems (ironic…). According to him, Hasan was friendly and well respected and he never heard Hasan say anything anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist, or anti-American. According to him, Hasan was open-minded and an intellectual. He is shocked to hear it was him.
The base commander at Fort Hood says soldiers who witnessed a shooting rampage that left 13 people dead reported that the gunman shouted “Allahu Akbar!” before opening fire at the Texas post.
According to various news sources Major Hasan had many issues and he was written up numerous times. Complaints were written up on him with reagrds to his patients and he had several different political points of view with some of his senior officers. This was a reason why he was transferred to Fort Hood. And, then to be shipped out to Afghanistan. There were many negative reports about Hasan.
*At the moment they are going thru his computer and they have noticed some affilliations with differnt groups and some of the postings he has made are being evaluated. MEISEL in #9 makes this guy out to be a Saint. Far from it. More info will be coming in as the investigation proceeds and I am sure that he has ties with some radical groups. We should know next week.
*Major Hasan is a loser and he is screwed up in the head to say the least. People in America get teased and ridiculed every day about many different things and they deal with it. Governor Christie was ridiculed and teased during his election and I am sure that as big and fat as he is, he was teased his entire life. People of all religions and colors get teased for different reasons and they have to deal with this. Going out and shooting a bunch of innocent people is not the way.
ANOTHER CORRECTION…HASAN WAS BORN A MUSLIM…HE DID NOT CONVERT
