National Muslim groups are now condemning the actions of Major Nidal Malik Hasan. One local Muslim says the shooting goes far beyond faith. Dr. Mahmoud Ahmed says just like anyone else he was in shock and saddened by the loss of life at Fort Hood, and he says it seems there are more questions than answers.

The suspected shooter at Fort Hood in Texas is described by family members as a life long Muslim but say his actions are despicable. One local Muslim says any action like the shootings is not an act of any religion.

"In the evening when they started to identify the identity of the suspect I felt very sad because this behavior is not the behavior of an individual who has faith," says Dr. Ahmed.

Dr. Mahmoud Ahmed moved to the U.S. from Egypt in 1982, he's now a psychiatrist at Marshfield Clinic. He says he knows most people understand that the attack yesterday doesn't reflect the views of the Muslim Faith, but he says people can make mistakes.

"Unfortunately as human beings sometimes we have, especially in times of shock and fear, people misbehave and I hope that no body will act against the Muslim community," says Dr. Ahmed.

He says the actions of the shooter are unacceptable for anyone of any faith. Suspected Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Malik Hasan was a psychiatrist for the Army, and being a psychiatrist himself, Dr. Ahmed says doctors need to treat more than just their patients.

"The other issue is physician, mental health and physicians in general do a wonderful job talking care of others but the question is do we take care of our selves, this would be the question," says Dr. Ahmed.

Dr. Ahmed says his prayers are with all of the soldiers and families affected by the shootings.

Soldiers across the state of Wisconsin observed a moment of silence Thursday at 1:34pm, in honor of soldiers and their families affected by the tragic shootings.
