Nidal Hasan - Martyrdom?

Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood killer, is serving as his own defense attorney in his court martial.  He is seeking to get the death penalty to achieve martyrdom in the eyes of the Islamic world.  In what ever manner he is dispatched after receiving the death penalty I hope the court and our government go to whatever means necessary to assure he does not become a martyr of Islam.

One of the soldiers shot seven times and survived was interviewed on television.  He said since Hasan believes so strongly in the Islamic religion that when found guilty he should be put to death by a tradition of Islam. . . stoning.
