In one of the strangest ironies yet, the founder of the BridgesTV network that was formed to improve the image of Muslim-Americans in the United States was just arrested for beheading his wife.
Muzzammil Hassan, a prominent Buffalo, New York area businessman, is charged with second-degree murder for beheading wife Aasiya Z. Hassan at his company’s office on Thursday.
Will this tragic story get much airplay on the mainstream media? Probably not. The media in this country doesn’t like to report any news that puts a Muslim in bad light.
We just have one question: he beheaded his wife and was only charged with second degree murder? What the hell do you have to do to get charged with first degree murder in Buffalo?

I was responding to an earlier post that is quoted in mine, just in case that was not clear.
Regular people don't consider this option, I agree entirely. Only in the 'religion of peace' is such barbarity sanctioned.
Don't be silly, pacman. When was the last time you got so pissed off at your wife that you decided to remove her head? That's a 'muslim only' dilemma. Regular people don't consider this to be an option.
"the responses to the situation once again indicate the stupidity of Americans. It would seem that education was wasted on a bunch of morons.
The killing of this lady had nothing to do with religion - once again it was a jilted spouse.
In a grown up country with civilized people - how can anyone judge a group of people by the actions of a few? This is just stupid and against the teachings of Jesus.
If we can judge muslims by the actions of a few, then let’s judge christians by the paedophiles in the catholic church, by the US solidiers that raped a 7 year old Iraqi girl and then killed her and her family, by the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - killing an estimated 150,000.
Grow up you morons - and have the courage to admit that you’re just as twisted, bloodthirsty, arrogant, cruel as the next person."
The murder was, in part, motivated by religion. Ever heard of honor killings?
BTW, your argumentative, rather name calling, style is as moronic and arrogant as those you claim to accuse. You are judged by your own statements. Why don't you admit that you don't know enough about any of the responders here to judge them as twisted, bloodthirsty, arrogant or cruel?
Here's the difference between the atrocities committed by Christians and those committed by Muslims:
1- Atrocities committed by muslims are IN FULFILLMENT of their scriptures. Obeying the letter of the Koran. Read the Koran and see for yourself.
2-Atrocities committed by christians are IN VIOLATION of their scriptures.
Disobeying the letter and the spirit of the New Testament.
This is why you don't ever hear serious discussions between "moderate" muslims and their radical brethren. The radicals win the argument every time by quoting the Koran.
Martin said that Henry VIII and Mohammed both created new religions to justify their bloodlust. With Mohammed, that is true, with what little I know about Islam. It is worse than a lie with Henry VIII; it is a very convenient inaccuracy to create moral equivalency.
Part of what frosts me is blurring the lines between reality and propoganda. Have people in the name of Christianity done evil things? Of course. But Henry VIII didn't do what he did in the name of Christianity. We didn't nuke Japan in the name of Christianity. So why is saying "this has nothing to do with Christianity" some kind of denial?
In point of fact, pedophile priests could be a black eye against Christianity. However, there is no sane way for Hiroshima or Nagasaki to be. There is no way for alleged rapes or murders commited by US soldiers to be the fault of Christianity, unless you're saying that the US equals Christianity. And the modern US equals 1500s England, and Henry VIII equals Christianity.
It's this bizarre hodgepodge that I think we in the "West" (as in, non-Muslim) should argue against. Islam and a few other cultures mix all of this - America, medieval Europe, Crusades, kings, Jews, and Christianity - in one big blender, like we all share the exact same histories and motives. Like England engaging in the Crusades 300 years before the Western Hemisphere was even disovered is somehow the direct fault of America and all of our Mid-East policy is built on that framework.
If you want to talk the Crusades, knock yourself out. That we can assign to Christianity.
Of course, as you point out, the Crusades were hundreds of years ago, and the Muslims are the only ones still fighting those ghost battles.
It's ok to mention that Europe in the 1500's was pretty awful, Ella. There's no reason to defend it. They did some sh#tty things. Sometimes they used Christianity as an excuse to do them!
But no one uses Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, heck, even Wiccanism as an excuse to kill people today in the civilized world. That's what's important. Today, Christianity causes no deaths. Unfortunately, in the uncivilized world of islam, people still get murdered for that stupid book they read. There can be nothing holy about the koran while it continues to cause death in the name of the devil god it describes, a god who asks for murder in his name.
I'm pretty sure that no other religion prevalent on the face of the Earth gave a standing order to its adherents to murder people who don't follow the religion. It leads to crap like this, where a man chops off the frickin' head of his wife. Sorry to acronymically swear, but WTF!?
This is a bad, bad, bad religion.
Only two wives of six were beheaded: Anne Boleyn (admittedly, just because he got mad at her) and Catherine Howard, for committing adultery which, since he was king, was considered treason. That would be wife #2 and wife #4, if memory serves. So, four others were annulled, divorced, or died of natural causes.
And, we're Americans here. Henry VIII is not anyone's "four" father. Or forefather.
And Henry VIII didn't create a religion to do anything, much less behead his wives. He could have done that without any religious oversight, and did, because he was king. Protestantism had been around for almost a hundred years at that time. He split from the Catholic Church only to get sanction to divorce his first wife, who lived for about twnety years after that quite happily. Or, at least, alive.
Perhaps Hassan should have considered divorce a preferable option to chopping his wife's head off.
