Store's Video May Show Ft. Hood Suspect

Man Who Appears to be Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan Wearing Long White Robe, Common in Pakistan and Afghanistan

(CBS)  A convenience store video showing what appears to be the soldier suspected in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood may offer more information for a possible motive.

In the video, the individual believed to be Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan appears wearing clothes that would be abnormal for someone of Palestinian descent - Hasan's family is from Jordan. CBS News correspondent Sheila MacVicar reports that the man is wearing a shalwar kameez - long robes far more common in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

He is also wearing white, which in Islam is associated with death or mourning. The prayer cap on his head is also more closely associated with Southeast Asia than with the Arab world.

Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, Fort Hood's base commander, told CBS's "The Early Show" that the alleged shooter is rumored to have said "Allahu Akbar," (God is great) during the shooting, but was unable to confirm that information.

If Hasan dressed like this commonly, it could have served as an indication that something was on his mind, notes MacVicar. His Imam in Virginia is quoted as saying he used to show up for prayers in his military uniform - so when he started donning the shalwar kameez could be an important clue as to his state of mind, and the direction of his thinking, explains MacVicar.

RE; hungry1968-17

See it as a global fact/reality;
Muslim - no matter which nationality they have priorities what comes first and it is in this order;
first comes religion commandment
second family and last the law of the country.

Don't be naive and start turning it to a religions discussion.
I can't understand your claim - how come that you have this misguided order:
1. Jesus
2. Family
3. Israel
4. America ?!

Don't forget that in the Christian world religion is separated(!) from the state, you can't say it about Islam.

To judge you according to your definition I can only presume that you are hateful against Christians/Jews, way?

My claim regarding what is most precious for Muslims is based on indisputable facts.
After all they don't renounce the vision of Islam ruling the whole world... As they speak of so many infidels...

I hope he gets better, so that he can be cut into very small pieces very slowly with a rusty blade.

When the western world will realize that the order of obedience of a Muslim is as follows;

1. God (Allah) , religion ? Quran
2. Family
3. Country

No matter which nationality thy have!

So stop being naive and trust in Muslims being loyal to the state, any country /state in the world!
After all they don?t renounce the vision of Islam ruling the whole world?

In singinrick's case, (a poster that used to be here long ago), he put them:

1. God (Jesus), religion ? Christianity
2. Family
3. Country - ISRAEL FIRST
4. Country - America

And he admitted it!

[wofmaria]

I think a public hanging is appropriate in this situation! He is a traitor pure and simple!

[Tracye88]

I just wanted to let you know that the shooter is not dead but alive, so justice will be served

[I_am_me1953]

That's it.

He was turning into a "cross-dresser". Serious sin under the rules of Islam?
