"Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats. "
Meanwhile the BBC are still insisting that the Major's motives are unclear and that:
"Army Chief of Staff George Casey warned against speculation.
He told ABC's This Week programme on Sunday that focusing on Maj Hasan's religion could "heighten the backlash" against all Muslims in the military.
Reports suggested that Maj Hasan, who was due to be sent to Afghanistan, had been increasingly unhappy in the army.
His cousin told US media last week that he had been opposed to his imminent deployment, describing it as his "worst nightmare".
Mr Hasan's cousin also said the gunman had been battling racial harassment because of his "Middle Eastern ethnicity."
Maj Hasan was born in the US of Palestinian parents and has been described as a devout Muslim."
