Bingo! Major Nidal Hasan wants to receive a death sentence so he can be a martyr for Allah. Here's what ought to be done: 1) execute him by firing squad with bullets dipped in pig blood; 2) put his body in a pine coffin with slaughtered pig parts; 3) ship him to his relatives and if they don't want him, cremate the body and scatter the ashes to the winds.
As much as I believe he should get the death penalty, I think the Muslims would go crazy and start giving out death penalties like candy to any troops of ours.
Its got to be a humiliating death, else he become a martyr.
Like "tripped over his shoestring", laughed so hard watching TV, that he had an embolism that burst, etc.
Should his body be sent back "home"? Or, just his ashes. Or not returned at all and given a plot in poor mans cemetery with no marker.
Before death, get him (by water board?) to renounce jihad, Islam, etc.
Wouldn't look so much the hero martyr then.
If Muslim Brotherhood demands his release, doctor a tape to make it sound like he is renouncing he ways and wants to stay in America because yada, yada, yada.....something to make the crazy Muslims to totally lose their cool.
What am I saving? They have no "cool" to lose.
I would modify step 2 and 3 this way:
2) Feed his body to the pigs and gather his "remains" when they come out of the pigs.
3) Ship his "remains" to his relatives and require them to keep them and produce them upon request. Failure to produce them results in immediate deportation to whatever third-world Muslim hellhole they came from.
