“ The former imam at a Silver Spring, Md., mosque where Major Hasan worshiped for about 10 years described him as proud of his work in the Army and “very serious about his religion.” The former imam, Faizul Khan, said that Major Hasan had wanted to marry an equally religious woman but that his efforts to find one had failed.
The New York Times article about Nidal Hasan. This may just be me projecting my own ish, but I can’t read this without thinking: ‘I bet this guy was a closet-case.’ Or even if he wasn’t/isn’t, the point remains: the world is filled with men who are driven to violence/insanity/extreme forms of antisocial behavior because they can’t express themselves sexually, which is a real cost of our stupid civilization in 2k9. It’s time to start connecting the dots between rampant homophobia and unhinged lunacy, because one definitely feeds the other. Oh and guess where TONS of closet-cases end up because they think that it will deflect suspicion or perhaps ‘cure’ them: well yeah, the church, but also the fucking army. (Ok, I’ll get back to your regularly scheduled lolcats now!)
