What could have convinced a highly-educated mental health professional to commit mass murder in the name of God?
Millions have struggled with this question ever since 13 soldiers were murdered at Fort Hood, Texas, in November.
American-born Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan stands accused of carrying out the bloodbath—the worst act of
violence ever perpetrated on a U.S. military base. And disturbingly, he may have shouted the Islamic expression of
faith “Allahu Akbar!” (“God is great!”) before the massacre began. Author and former religious zealot
Nader Pourhassan says that Hasan may have been influenced by a radical and distorted version of Islam, similar to those he was taught as a young man. Born in Iran, Pourhassan was instructed by his own grandmother to hate Jews and Christians. And he brought this perception with him to the U.S. On your show, Pourhassan will discuss his own catharsis, which occurred when he realized that hatred and death aren’t the righteous goals he thought they were.
He will also:
• Explain how a personal awakening similar to his might have prevented the horrific attack at Fort Hood.
• Explain why Islam is a “peaceful” religion.
• Discuss surprising similarities between Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
• Explain why America’s War on Terror is weakened without a real understanding of Islam and the Koran.
