    Muzzammil Hassan founded the Bridges TV station in order to portray Muslims in a more positive light in the US. He beheaded his own wife last week

    Prominent Orchard Park man charged with beheading his wife
    By Gene Warner
    News Staff Reporter

    Orchard Park police are investigating a particularly gruesome killing, the beheading of a woman, after her husband — an influential member of the local Muslim community — reported her death to police Thursday.

    Police identified the victim as Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37. Detectives have charged her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder.

    "He came to the police station at 6:20 p.m. [Thursday] and told us that she was dead," Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz said late this morning.

    Muzzammil Hassan told police that his wife was at his business, Bridges TV, on Thorn Avenue in the village. Officers went to that location and discovered her body.

    Muzzammil Hassan is the founder and chief executive officer of Bridges TV, which he launched in 2004, amid hopes that it would help portray Muslims in a more positive light.

    The killing apparently occurred some time late Thursday afternoon. Detectives still are looking for the murder weapon.

    "Obviously, this is the worst form of domestic violence possible," Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said today.

    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.

    Muzzammil Hassan was arraigned before Village Justice Deborah Chimes and sent to the Erie County Holding Center.

    from the story, this is a case of domestic violence, and has nothing to do with the religion, although yes, its ironic given the purpose of his television station.

    Such a peaceful religion.

    Maybe it was part of the Satanic versus, you know, where Mohammed was actually under the influence of satan.......but then recovered.

    Are you familiar with hadith? The overwhelming majority of Muslims consider hadith to be essential supplements to and clarifications of the Qur'an.

    one example:
    "The blood of a Muslim may not be legally spilt other than in one of three [instances] : the married person who commits adultery; a life for a life; and one who forsakes his religion and abandons the community."

    I am familiar with the Hadith, and the quote you have from it which is out of context doesn't command honor killing.
