Interesting to watch the reactions. The man contacted Anwar al-Awlaki in the Yemen. Not a very nice chap, reponsible for translating many AQ statements into his native tongue of American English. Clearly prided himself as something of a persuader.
So Hasan, worried about his position as a Muslim in the US anti Islam army, contacted Awlaki. Bad move. Bit like opening an emailed file. Whoosh! All the persuasive power he could muster floods into Hasan's metaphorical inbox. No anti-virus programmes to stop it. Hasan didnt know what to do. Beautiful! Easy sell! Hooked with the simplest of baits.
Now, an American citizen, clearly culturally confused, becomes a killer for the Islamists. Its so easy.
Question: If America had been able to offer this man and millions of similarly culturally displaced citizens, a strong cultural connection would he have turned to the enemy?
I guess one of our black posters might have a clue. (sorry, must remember to call them by their euphemism, African Americans) Because from what I can see America has had very little in the way of 'belonging' to any of them. Maybe I'm wrong again.
Funny how its always the damn blacks and foreigners who end up in gaol, isn't it?
Good question. Why do black Americans support the Democrat Party with such fervor?
