Don’t make Fort Hood terrorist Nidal Hasan’s execution a public spectacle — and him a martyr
nypost.com ^ | Oct. 11, 2026 | Post Editorial Board

Nidal Hasan is a savage Islamic terrorist who killed 13 innocent US service members at Fort Hood in 2009. He deserves the death penalty, nothing less.

But the idea of broadcasting his execution publicly — livestreaming it — is beyond grotesque.

America is supposed to be a model nation, with the highest values, a shining light that leads the world into a civilized future.

The spectacle of a publicized, glamorized execution sends us in the opposite direction.

It signals a type of gloating and bravado unbecoming a proud, moral country.

America is not a medieval caliphate. Our leaders aren’t supposed to act like jihadists.

Will Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who proposed the hideous extravaganza, next suggest filming captured, blindfolded Islamists on their knees, while US soldiers behead them?

Hasan’s death is meant to achieve justice for the horrific evil he perpetrated, not serve as a source of entertainment or pleasure for masses.

“pour encourager les autres”

IMHO, publicd execution will DIScourage the others!

Execute!

Live coverage!

Moslems (and their useful idiot accomplices) are going to protest, whether the execution is public or private.

Judge Parker cleaned up the Wild West by quick, public hangings. The jury’s guilty verdict, followed by the criminal being taken to the public square and hung, while the details of the crime were still ringing in the citizens’ ears, was a very effective deterrent.

We’re better than that

Ahh, the mantra of the weak and defeated.
You forgot to add the even more disgusting "That's not who we are."

My words may be a tad harsh ... and they need to be.
Cheers!

Shoot him in public, just like his victims.

Criminals versus terrorists

Different animals.

Terrorists see no problem with martyrdom. It’s a feature.

Criminals don’t want to die for their sins.

I agree

Remember when we publicly showed Al Qeada terrorists in Gitmo dressed in orange prison jumpsuits the Jihadis picked up on it and orange jumpsuit became a world wide fetish for Jihadi propaganda and beheadings

First, they should take a video of the bullets being drenched in pig grease. Killing should be a deterrent to everyone, including Muslims.

From now on, military bullets should be dunked in pork grease at the factory. Everyone should know about it. Local police and individuals should take heed. Best Practices.

Remember when Muslims killed, before the orange jumpsuits?

The world, and even New York City, does.

Make sure he has a mouthful of bacon, surrounded by dogs. Love Trump for floating the idea, just to make people, who already hate him, even more upset.

I’m all for a public execution of the scum bag, I am reluctant to give to jive an already simmering pot of radical islamists a martyr to use to make the pot boil and the lid blow off

We are already having Islamic radical driven riots all over Europe

It is important for social cohesion too which scares the liberals trying to import as many anti-Americans as possible. They want us living in fear and anger, they don’t action being taken.

So, we don't want to make Islamic radicals who are rioting, riot even more?

I say we identify all of the problem and apply justice—publicly.

Live streaming this is a horrible idea on many levels.


Sorry to say you are not qualified to make that call. I spent three years in the Kingdom and witnessed many head and hand choppings after noon prayer call on Fridays.

Guess what? There was no crime there, I could keep $10 K cash plus in my desk drawer in my apartment, walk the streets, and not have to worry about getting robbed or ripped off.

Fact is : Public executions work. It is called “ Justice”, a cornerstone in Judea/ Christian law.

His death only makes him a martyr to Muslims. It’s a sick religion.

If we are to deter Muslim terrorism, we must know some relevant basics. It’s my understanding that if the bullets are soaked in pig grease, he will go straight to hell. Muslims may ask for death and their 76 eternal virgins in heaven, but death and hell won’t appeal so much.

This is a modern-day take on how the execution of Timothy McVeigh took place in 2001.

Public execution to the press means only select members of the press can watch the execution and write stories based upon their opinion of how is was carried out.

They should have pigs roasting on a spit and and families should be able to attend .

Nothing we do, or don’t do, is going to smooth over the issues with the Jihadists. So un-wad your panties over at the NY Post editorial board.

All executions should be available for viewing by the public. Those being executed were predators on the American public, and the public should be allowed to see them get the justice they deserved.

Don't like it, don't watch........

“You want public executions? Go join the Taliban. We’re better than that,”

Maybe you are the one who should join the Taliban.
