Why the US should not livestream Nidal Hasan’s execution

The Trump administration is reconsidering plans for livestreaming Hasan’s execution after military leaders and others warned that broadcasting the convicted Fort Hood shooter’s death could turn a solemn act of justice into propaganda for extremists. The controversy illustrates a larger principle for Christians seeking to influence the culture: understanding what others believe—and how they will interpret our actions—is essential to engaging them wisely. Sharing truth effectively requires more than having the right message; it requires knowing the worldview of those we hope to reach.
