Am I the only one who sees an inherent recklessness in assigning a devout Muslim, no matter how upright and grounded he might be, to study and counsel soldiers traumatized by their experiences in the Iraq and Afghan wars? I see potential danger on both sides: the military personnel who have experienced extreme violence by the most militant of the Muslims are now encouraged to confide their innermost thoughts, fears and prejudices to a man whose very name ties him to "the enemy;" and, on the other hand, a devout Muslim who hears horror story after horror story from clients emotionally if not physically scarred by people with whom he identifies.
In the best case, both Major Nidal M. Hasan and his clients were poorly served. In the worst, the Army repeatedly put volatile fuel in the same room with a match. It could have gone either way. What were they thinking?

Wake up America!! The muslim invasion of the U.S.A. is strengthening. Time to decide whether islam is a religion or a seditious ideology.
