FORT HOOD, Texas -- A Muslim leader says the Army psychiatrist suspected of going on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood asked him for advice on what he should tell soldiers who had concerns about going to fight Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Osman Danquah is the co-founder of the Islamic Community of Greater Killeen. He says he had a bad feeling about Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan after the two talked twice in late summer.

He told The Associated Press on Saturday that Hasan regularly attended services at the mosque in his uniform.

Danquah says Hasan never mentioned any anger toward the Army or indicated any plans for violence but seemed incoherent during their second conversation.

Danquah says he told Hasan that there was "something wrong with you."

Truly a tragedy and my prayers are not only with the families and folks that were killed and injured, but also with those that this senseless act just serves to pile on more unneeded stress. As to "killing Muslims", consider that in the middle east the folks bombing and killing the locals are Muslims as well. Sure doesn't seem to bother the terrorists much as they blow up women and children. As an aside, I do wonder how many "warning signs" Malik was giving off prior to snapping. Sometimes, "Suck it up Soldier" is not a wise answer to a real problem but is too often an answer given by weak leadership. Remember, it is never weak to admit having a problem and seeking help and it is never strong to "just deal with it."
