Nidal Malik Hasan Was Called "Camel Jockey"

"Camel Jockey" is not quite as racist as "sand nigger" or "dune
coon" and
"raghead" is still another, the list is long. Some are adaptations
of racist terms for Blacks.  Maybe Jiggy or Mike could fill us in.

Those who can't take it apparently shoot back.

Nidal Malik Hasan, Suspected Fort Hood Shooter, Was Called "Camel Jockey"

Family Said

Fort Hood shooting suspect, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, wanted out of the Army
after being constantly harassed by others in the military and was called a
"camel jockey," his family said.

As Hasan was about to be deployed to Iraq, he was suffering from some of
the same stresses that he was trained as an Army psychiatrist to treat.

Although the 39-year-old had just been promoted to major in May, his family
says he had hired a lawyer to help him get out of the Armed Forces.

"Apparently became very disgruntled in the mission in Iraq and Afghanistan
and voiced that to a lot of his colleagues," said Rep. Michael McCaul
(R-TX).

He also voiced it to the world in an Internet posting, where he compared
suicide bombers to GI's who save their colleagues by throwing themselves on
a grenade.

"Just keep in mind mass killers pretty much know they want to die and they
tend to take as many people with them as they can in a shooting," said
former FBI agent and ABC News consultant Brad Garrett, who also believes
Hasan didn't want to survive the Ft. Hood shooting.

"It is one of those things where he went and wanted to kill a lot of people
and commit suicide maybe in his own mind that he's saving peoples' lives,"
said Garrett. "As illogical as that sounds, in his mind, that would be quite
logical."

Hasan is an American citizen of Palestinian descent and after the 9/11
attacks, his cousin says he was the target of constant harassment from
others in the military. His tormentors called him a "camel jockey," said his
cousin, Nader Hasan. He wanted out of the Army, so he paid back his military
student loans and hired an attorney.

While the bullying irritated Hasan, Nader Hasan believes his upcoming
deployment is what set him off. The cousin said, "My mom is his mom& and we
didn't know he was being deployed until we heard it on the news today."

Hasan went to college at Virginia Tech and studied medicine at the
military's medical school.

A Silver Spring, MD neighbor told ABC News she was interviewed Thursday by
the FBI about Hasan.

"He's a quiet man, he looked like a nice person to me, so since I have been
living here I never heard a noise in that house," said Vivian Tchangan, who
added that Hasan wrote "Allah" on his door.

A devout Muslim, Hasan described himself as reserved and funny in an
application for a Muslim marriage matchmaking program run by Imam Faizul
Khan or the Islamic Society of Washington Area.

Khan told ABC News Hasan was looking for an equally devout wife. He said,
"He wants someone who prays everyday, who adheres to the Quran, who is a
good muslim woman."

According to military records, Hasan worked as a psychiatrist at the Walter
Reed military hospital for six years until this July. Congressman McCaul
says Hasan had a poor performance evaluation at Walter Reed, which resulted
in his transfer to Ft. Hood and "while there received a lot of advanced
training in weapons, shooting classes."
