While Erie County, NY District Frank A. Sedita III stated about the murder that “”…this is the worst form of domestic violence possible,” it is more pertinent to understand that the act of beheading in Islam is frequently and closely associated with “honor killings.”

HASSAN and Bridges TV of Buffalo has been a focus of investigation by the Northeast Intelligence Network in the past. The Northeast Intelligence Network made several inquiries to HASSAN and Bridges TV about their relationship with al Manar television - inquiries that HASSAN and his station refused to answer.

The United Nations Population Fund estimates that “as many as 5,000 women and girls a year are murdered by members of their own families, many of them for the ‘dishonour’ of having been raped.” And these so-called “honor killings,” once a disgraceful abomination known only to Islamic nations, are gradually creeping into western society right under our noses.

Pressured by Islamic advocacy groups and the prevailing winds of political correctness, authorities and news organizations remain remarkably mute. And, in doing so, these naïve multi-cultists only pave the way for more victims of “domestic violence” at the hands of followers of Sharia, not local, law.

Let’s never forget “domestic violence” victim Aqsa Parvez, the 16-year-old Canadian girl whose father strangled her for refusing to wear the traditional Muslim head scarf in 2007. Or Amina and Sarah Said of Dallas, both murdered by their father in 2008 for dating non-Muslim boys. Or Sandeela Kanwal of Georgia, who was strangled to death by her Muslim father, Chaudhry Rashid, last July.

BridgesTV might have had the aim of trying to improve the image of Muslims, but over two years ago, Steve Stalinsky of MEMRI outlined in the now-defunct New York Sun that the network featured Wahhabi anti-Christian and anti-Jewish sermons from Saudi TV broadcasts, including English subtitles. Stalinsky also noted that Donald Conover, one of the main hosts on the network, discussed “the power of the ‘Jewish lobby’” and urged Muslims to vote for Democrats during an interview with a Saudi newspaper in 2006.

“The media’s lack of curiosity is in marked contrast to their willingness to propagandize for the launch of Mr Hassan’s station. It also helps explain why the US newspaper business is dying.”

MSM’ers generally do a lot of flying as part of their jobs; and I suspect they really don’t want to get splattered into the side of a skyscraper, so instead they’d rather be GUTLESS COWARDS!!!

Look at this picture. That's the very definition of "moderate Muslim". Look at the late Aasiya Hassan, beautifully coiffed, glossy-lipped.

This is sad as it is scary.

I think it foolish to pay any attention to anything reported in the press or media.

The press or media is largely how we find out about the world outside our immediate experience. If it is biased, our experience of the world is distorted. Politically, it adds up to voting decisions, and thus a government ruling us, based on a distorted reality. The internet in general, and sites like FR in particular are our main antidote to the bias. Paying attention to, analyzing, exposing and dissecting the bias are among the more important things we can do here.

And of course will come the inevitable acquaintance saying that Mr. Hassan, “is a quiet man.”

It's sort of a pre-requisite for the job. The pressure to conform to all the approved views in a newsroom is amazing. People who don't accept the clear liberal line self-select out of that line of work, or get fired because they "don't fit in."

Think academia, only for MUCH lower pay.

“... saying that Mr. Hassan, “is a quiet man.”

A quiet man that acted in self-defense of his islamic beliefs.

I agree.

BTW, I am trying to think of films/TV shows were Muslims are villains. I am sure there must be quite a few, but I just haven't come across them.

Islam is an insane murder cult. The rest is PR, meant to lull infidels into throat-cutting range.

I live in the general area of Orchard Park, NY, where the beheading took place.

I am appalled by the silence on this beheading. It should have been splashed everywhere in the news. Of course, the Buffalo News went from conservative to outrageously liberal about 30 years ago under Warren Buffett.

EVERYONE in this country should be aware of the beheading. The murderer’s trial should be televised on every TV station so that the people in this country learn.

Authorities say Aasiya Hassan recently had filed for divorce from her husband. “She had an order of protection ...

Ah, she died for her insolence, then. Something tells he he'd walk in a Sharia court.

"Domestic violence is despicable, and Islam condones it in no way whatever," he said.

Lies, damn lies, and a muslim speaking.....
