Muslim beheads wife in upstate NY

[Fhqwghads]

But there's an interesting twist. He was the founder of a television station dedicated to ridding Muslims of the negative stereotypes their religion has received. Oh the ironing!

Founder of Islamic TV station accused of beheading wife

NEW YORK (CNN) -- The founder of an Islamic television station in upstate New York aimed at countering Muslim stereotypes has confessed to beheading his wife, authorities said.

Muzzammil Hassan has been charged with murder in the death of his wife, Aasiya Hassan.

Muzzammil Hassan was charged with second-degree murder after police found the decapitated body of his wife, Aasiya Hassan, at the Bridges TV station in the Buffalo suburb of Orchard Park, said Andrew Benz, Orchard Park's police chief.

Hassan was arrested Thursday.

His wife filed for divorce January 6, and police had responded to several domestic violence calls at the couple's home, Benz said. Hassan went directly to the police station after his wife's death and confessed to killing her, Benz told CNN. Benz declined to give further details. Attempts to reach an attorney for Hassan were unsuccessful, and his family didn't return calls from CNN.

He had two children, 4 and 6, with his wife. He had two other children, 17 and 18, from his previous marriage.

He launched Bridges TV, billed as the first English-language cable channel targeting Muslims inside the United States, in 2004. At the time, Hassan said he hoped the network would balance negative portrayals of Muslims following the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The station's staff is "deeply shocked and saddened by the murder of Aasiya Hassan and the subsequent arrest of Muzzammil Hassan," a statement from Bridges TV said. "Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to the families of the victim," the statement said.

Beheadings are MUSLIM ONLY, fyi!

what a visceral crime....how do u actually go thru w/ cutting off someone's head? I mean, Jesus, do u at least kill the person first and THEN behead them? This has to be one of the most painful ways to be killed...

Clearly if we just banned all religion then this shit would never happen because everyone would be happy and get along. Religion is the source of all badness, etc.

How's that?

I don't know, I'm sure there are several other ways that are much more painful than beheading. Burning to death for instance.

Exactly.


Here are more lovely quotes from local Charlotte christian groups....

-"Typical seventh century thinking. This is not an exception in my opinion. This is Muslim action at it's finest."

-"Name me one Christian terrorist organization that condones killing people of another religion as infidels. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?"

-"Yes, Islam is the religion of peace. If it wasn't then this guy would have done something really horrible to her. Beheading is a sign of love, didn't you know that? You get your wife flowers, a Hallmark card and cut her head off. Nothing says love like that!!!"

-"I don't see what the big deal is here. This sort of action is perfectly acceptible within the Muslim religion. Either ban Islam, or accept it."

-"Seems the only ones shocked are those of the Muslium faith!"

Practice what you fucking preach and they wonder why people laugh and ridicule them. [Enter typical bullshit bible cliche here]

I thought the same thing initially, but I think the only difference is first degree is premeditated, i.e. he had planned it out beforehand. Shrug, I guess you could argue he did here anyway, but since it was a domestic dispute and he went straight to police afterwards, perhaps they gave him some leeway because of it. Not that I think he deserves any leeway, but 2nd degree isn't exactly a slap on the wrists and back into society.

[Day]

I'm waiting for the first:

"She wouldn't give him head huh"

or

"Bet she had dandruff, you could tell by the head and shoulders"

or

"How you get ahead in the world"

or

"Two heads are better than one"

or something else similarly punny.

[Tomk]

What in the world could he have laying around at work to decapitate someone with?

Um...

She fell head over heals for him.?

[Saga]

Seems like this guy....

took the phrase "staying ahead of the game..."

a bit too literally.


YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[MarkM.]

Forgot, if your head wasn't attached to your body, you lose it.

[Brill Weave]

Come on people, let's not lose our heads over this. Sheesh.





















That what you were looking for Day?
