We had devout Catholics, I am sure, who had no problem going to war and killing other Catholics who served under Hitler. I am sure there were other Protestants, too. Just being a Muslim makes him no different than any one else who is trained to go kill. However, like some conscientious objectors, he may have been very conflicted about being sent there and, from what I read, he was doing everything he could, according to the rules, to keep form being sent over.

Finally, as he specialized in treating those with PTSD, one might assume he is not a super-human and may have just been so horrified at what he heard, every day at work, and tried to help others through such horrors, that he snapped. It is possible, folks. Healers have a very fine line to walk to keep the maladies of their clients from overwhelming them; some are more able to do so than others. It is a profound tragedy that he apparently was not one of those.

May Peace Profound prevail,
