Pasha blogs regularly for the Huffington Post. Pasha wrote about an account from a Muslim officer at Fort Hood who claims that he prayed with Nidal Malik Hasan on the day of the Fort Hood shooting when Hasan "appeared relaxed and not in any way troubled or nervous". Hasan had attended the Dar al-Hijrah mosque led by imam Anwar al-Awlaki, and this officer believed that the shootings may be been motivated by religious radicalism.
