Founder of Islamic TV station accused of beheading wife
2009-02-17
3rd duplicate. No more, please.
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.
Hey, it was that or throw acid in her face. Probably couldn't find enough employees after hours to put together an decent impromptu stoning party.
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.
Second degree? What the fuc& did he use to decapitate his wife? A samurai sword that just happened to be laying around for the kids to play with or something?
Hassan was arrested Thursday.
One day too late.
His wife filed for divorce January 6, and police had responded to several domestic violence calls at the couple's home, Benz said.
Figured they had nothing to worry about when they took his bow saw away.
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.
She was spying for the Americans, I tell you!
Attempts to reach an attorney for Hassan were unsuccessful, and his family didn't return calls from CNN.
Probably wondering what all the fuss was about.
He had two children, 4 and 6, with his wife. He had two other children, 17 and 18, from his previous marriage.
So, kids, what do you think of Islam now?
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.
Point taken.
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.
He should have been set free the minute he said he wouldn't do it again.
"Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to the families of the victim," the statement said.
The unspeakable horrors he must have suffered before being driven to behead the bi+ch.

#14  Qur'an 4:34 tells men to beat their disobedient wives after first warning them and then sending them to sleep in separate beds. It is worth noting how several translators render the key part of this verse, æóÇÖúÑöÈõæåõäøó, waidriboohunna.

Pickthall: “and scourge them”
Yusuf Ali: “(And last) beat them (lightly)”
Al-Hilali/Khan: “(and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful)”
Shakir: “and beat them”
Sher Ali: “and chastise them”
Khalifa: “then you may (as a last alternative) beat them”
Arberry: “and beat them”
Rodwell: “and scourge them”
Sale: “and chastise them”
Daryabadi: "and beat them"
Asad: “then beat them”

#12  "He's a pretty vicious and remorseless bastard," Sedita told FOXNews.com Tuesday. "Whether he was motivated by some kind of interpretation of his religious or cultural views, we don't know. We'll look into everything in the case."

Asked if the murder is being probed as an honor killing, Benz replied, "We've been told that there's no place for that kind of action in their faith, but I wouldn't say that there's anything that's being completely ruled out at this point."

But psychologists and some American Muslims said the slaying has all the markings of an honor killing.

"The fierce and gruesome nature of this murder signals it's an honor killing," said Dr. Phyllis Chesler, an author and professor of psychology at the Richmond College of the City University of New York. "What she did was worthy of capital punishment in his eyes."

What is the problem? In WWII we made a lot of movies and cartoons aimed at promoting hate against nazism.

#4  Sheesh, if this is how 'moderate' muzzies act how can anyone question a dislike for the serious muzzies?

#3  And umpteen NYT articles on Abu Ghrab* wasn't intended to incite hate? Your liberal acquittance just admitted its not about knowing truth, its just all about power.

*While even greater mistreatment of prisoners was going on in our own stateside facilities, but who's Govs and AGs were Donks, therefore unworthy of such attention.

The term "hate speech" came a bit late for the Third Reich. Hitler would have loved it!

#1  I talked to a liberal friend of mine last night. He said that promoting this story promotes hate. The term asshat come to mind. Liberal refuse to condemn Islam no matter how true the stereotype, down to the letter of the Hadiths.

Pretty sick all around.
