Terror Attack in Fort Hood

I don't understand the justification that he didn't want to go to war. If you don't want to go to war, why do you turn your home into a war zone? Hasan also did this representing himself as Muslim instead of an American. As far as I am concerned, this was a terrorist attack. Sure he was not affiliated to any group, but he used the same tactics in a randomized fashion as the terrorists in the Middle East.

A Radical Islamist

My definition may not matter to anyone other than myself, but I consider it any Muslim who considers two things:

1. Violence over peaceful action.
2. Considers themselves Islamic first instead of American when they are serving in our armed forces.

Sentiments

I send my sympathies to the victims and their families of today's tragedy at Fort Hood.
