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.

Live streaming this is a horrible idea on many levels. I hear President Trump is already starting to rethink doing it and I hope he changes his mind.

Many want to be martyrs so let’s grant them all their wish!

Don’t give the Allahu Akbars an excuse to Allahu Akbar.

Let’s see the options...

Don’t execute him - no closure for the families of victims, muzzies think we are wussies

Execute him, but not public - removes one more jihadi, muzzies treat him like a martyr, muzzies thing we are wussies

Execute him, publicly - removes one more jihadi, muzzies treat him like a martyr, but the method of execution makes an impression and they realize we are serious

Hmmmm...which one, which one...

They don’t need an excuse.

But every rifleman should be Jewish, and his remains should be cremated with a pig.

Lotta limp wristed folks coming out of the woodwork over this. What’s wrong with seeing my tax dollars at work for a change?

It is a seriously bad idea. Just execute without fanfare and bury without ceremony.

Don’t make this murderer into a martyr for the moslims.

And do it before the date that was announced.

Simple, bye-bye, and over.

All executions SHOULD be public, just like all stonings required the whole community.

Make him a “martyr.”

Muslims breed like rabbits. Bring them out sooner than later.

I agree this is a BAD idea. Just take care of business and let it be done. Not everything needs to be public.

“do it before the date that was announced”

That would be smart

Don’t live-stream it, but give tickets to 200 or so people to witness it.

Mooselimbs do it publicly and they are taking over your country and the world.

live streaming would be a recruitment ad for future attempts, not a discouragement

They should use shotguns, from ten feet away - nothing left to cremate.

Do each of you believe Muslims don’t kill more people because they honor the lack of execution transparency, today? In other words, you appear to maintain Muslims will increase their killing of people because we show an execution of our own of one of them?

Disagree.

He can be the first of thousands of martyrs.
