Frightening Irony

Feb 13, 2009

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.
. . .
Detectives have charged her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder.
. . .
Muzzammil Hassan [the husband] 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.

Some thoughts:

1) Portraying Muslims in a positive light! Really? Are you sure about that?

2) Mr. Hassan is being charged with 2nd-degree murder. Second degree - meaning NOT premeditated, NOT planned, and NOT a crime of passion. Folks, she had a restraining order against him (whatever that is worth). 2nd degree this was NOT.

3) The catch-phrase of the TV station is "Connecting People Through Understanding." Words to live by.

What he did is called an 'honor killing.'
In Muslim society, it is perfectly legal to kill a wife, daughter, mother, etc. for dishonoring the man.

Kinda puts a new light on women's lib movement, doesn't it?
