Muslim Seeking to Portray Muslims in More Positive Light . . . Beheads His Wife

Well, isn't this lovely:  A man who founded "Bridges TV" in 2004 to portray Muslims in a more positive light has apparently beheaded his wife after she filed for divorce.

Or, at least, he appeared in a police station and announced that his wife is now dead -- and headless.

I can't tell you how much this will do for Muslim-American understanding.

Authorities say Aasiya Hassan recently had filed for divorce from her husband.

"She had an order of protection that had him out of the home as of Friday the 6th [of February]," Benz said.

I guess the order of protection was too little, too late.

I hope America doesn't make the same mistake of too little, too late in the war of Islamic terror.

Here's a nice, ironic quote from the suspected murderer:

Man: "I heard some speakers on TV making the point that, in point of fact, at the core, some of the teachings of the Islamic faith are in fact violent and intolerant towards people from other religions."

It's perceptions like this -- about Islam and Muslims among average Americans -- that led Muzzammil Hassan to launch Bridges TV two years ago. "There were some comments being made," he said, "that were pretty negative about Arabs and Muslims. So my wife, being a mother, said: 'This is not a very good environment for children, or to raise children and there should be some kind of a media that lets American know who Muslims are, who Arabs are and that we are good people.' "

With generous contributions from American Muslims, Bridges TV was able to give that community a voice of its own, broadcasting nationwide from Buffalo, New York.

Two years later, the network is expanding, as major cable systems in the United States and Canada have agreed to include Bridges TV in their basic packages.

I must say, Mr. Hassan has certainly reassured me that Arabs and Muslims aren't just violent and intolerant towards people from other religions.  They can also be violent and intolerant towards people from their same religion.

Anyway, there's nothing like a headless wife to say, "let's build bridges of understanding, America!"

Hi Gina,

People are starting to pass around our Story of Buffalo beheading has no legs article to tell the surprisingly (well, maybe not surprisingly) huge majority of the public that is not aware of this story, and have them report back on what their local media did or did not do with it. Thanks.

You sound as if this is a bad thing. Don't be ridiculous. Pelosi, Reid, Waxman and Hillary are very proud of this event. These are people who have long been oppressed by Christian white male dominated society and this one act shows that christian white male dominated societal oppression is quickly being stamped out.
Thank god these people are standing up to the ages of white anglo european domination that has brought so much evil, like civil rights, racial equality, free speech and association, commerce and women's rights!! Out with these old oppressive ideas!
Can you imagine how proud this man's wife must have been when she felt the sharp edge to her neck that she was not being dominated and oppressed by the evil of white/anglo/european/christian. Yes, in her death, Nancy Pelosi, Waxman,Reid, Hillary and Obama must feel a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment that Change is indeed happening in their America. Allah bless the Dear Leader Obama.
