Major Malik Nadal Hasan
According to Brian Ross at ABC, Hasan was a convert to Islam.
Per the last update, here’s another reminder of why it’s always a bad idea to speculate too much: Contra Brian Ross, the AP says it’s unclear what Hasan’s religion was or whether he was a convert.
“They were telling him that one guy was shouting something in Arabic while he was shooting,” Tom Hunt said. “He couldn’t say much more than that.”
Hasan’s performance evaluation while at Walter Reed was, perhaps not surprisingly, a poor one.
Apparently, one of Hasan’s cousins just told Shep that he’s always been Muslim, not a recent convert.
