Bridges TV founder and Chief Executive Muzzammil Hassan founded the TV network in 2004. According to a Reuters story at that time, "his wife came up with the idea in December 2001 while listening to the radio on a road trip.":
"Some derogatory comments were being made about Muslims that offended her," Hassan told Reuters ahead of Tuesday's launch. "She was seven months pregnant, and she thought she didn't want her kids growing up in this environment."
So he founded Bridges TV to combat negative perceptions of Muslims.
But now that he has beheaded his wife, I'm afraid this prominent moderate Muslim will only be feeding those negative perceptions.
"Prominent Orchard Park man charged with beheading his wife," by Gene Warner for the Buffalo News, February 13 (thanks to Jon):
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.
Uh, yeah.
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 wonder if Al~Jazeera had it on PPV...
Say a Prayer for her!
Oh, he was a “moderate “ Muslim.Yeesh.
Gee, I don’t want people to get the wrong idea about Muslims from the media who says such nasty things, so I will take my wife’s idea and build a TV network. Then I’ll cut off her head!!!
I will. That’s horrible.

Makes sense to me, maybe I am turning muslim!
I was just readin’ this... religion o’ peace my foot.
Barbarians!
These Muslims remind me of the Martians in “Mars Attacks”. No matter what goodwill is shown them, they betray you. This is almost so universally true that it has evolved into a sicko comedy.
They even seem to take Martian-like glee in doing it!
Islam is like “Super Communism”. It is bigger, older, harder to kill and much more dangerous. Since the West has gelded itself in an attempt to be pluralistic and tolerant, Islam may win.

Bad Day in Buffalo
Yet our political correctness persists in telling us that Islam is peaceful and Muslims are not blood thirsty, crazed psychos.
Now now. Let’s not rush to judge. For all we know, it was a justified honor kill. She might have deserved it.
No more “I Have A Headache Excuses”.
Having nothing to do with his religion, his tv network or any of the larger issues, putting all that aside:
Instead of discussing this calmly about what a “prominent” person he was, I think it’s fair to say that right minded people should want to see this filthy bastard at least put to death.
But then I’m assure he earns brownie points in the upside down world of left wing America.
