US Chief of Army Staff, General George Casey Jr., has said that he is concerned about the possibility of Muslim troopers experiencing a backlash in the wake of Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s move to kill 12 fellow soldiers and a civilian, besides wounding dozens of others, at Fort Hood in Texas.
“I’ve asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that,” General Casey said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.
“It would be a shame — as great a tragedy as this was — it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well,” added General Casey, who has appeared on three Sunday news programs, and used almost the same language.
The US Army is keen to ward off bias against the more than 3,000 Muslims in its ranks.
Meanwhile, at a news conference in Fort Hood, near Killeen, Texax, the Army announced that 16 of the wounded remained hospitalized, with seven in intensive care.
