Oh really?

From a NY Times editorial on the killings at Fort Hood:

...

Unverified reports, some from his family members, suggest that Major Hasan complained of harassment by fellow soldiers for being a Muslim, that he hoped to get out of a deployment to Afghanistan, that he sought a discharge from the Army and that he opposed the American military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. There were reports that some soldiers said they had heard him shout “God is Great” in Arabic before he started firing. But until investigations are complete, no one can begin to imagine what could possibly have motivated this latest appalling rampage.

...
I think I can begin to imagine what Hasan's motivation was from his own words to his colleagues from shouts of "God is great" before he started shooting. I tend to discount the allegations of taunts and insults. A competent officer should be able to deal with such things.

There have been many hints as to his motivation and most of them point toward his religion making him crazy. While this does not mean that Islam makes everyone crazy, it does seem to be a factor in all mass murder for Allah attack. That is something that ought to be examined and not ignored or wished away in the name of diversity.
