An upstate TV exec who set up a channel promoting Muslims as peace-loving people was stressed about his failing business in the days before he allegedly chopped off his estranged wife's head, a friend of the couple said today.

An order of protection barring Muzzammil Hassan, 44, from the couple's upstate home had been taken out by his wife, Aasiya, 37, less than a week before she died.

The couple was in the process of divorcing after bouts of domestic violence, her lawyer told the Buffalo News.

Right. Because we all know when we get fed up and want to kill our spouses over money, we immediately think “I’ll cut your head off!”

The irony of it all.

It wasn't financial woes that were responsible, it was the bloodthirsty *religion* that was responsible.

I don't know of anyone else who's beheaded a spouse over money issues.

You should call up the cable company and complain loud and long, and point out the hypocrisy of the situation.

Yep, a nice little spousal beheading will relieve all that business-related stress every time!

The fact that he's Muslim has absolutely NOTHING to do with it, and to think so is bigoted and racist in the extreme.

How could she have been harmed?

Didn’t the article say that she had an “order of protection” ?

Hmmmm, she must not have been an NRA member.

I read earlier that he was charged with 2nd degree murder, I guess if you're stressed you get a little sympathy and they don't charge you with 1st degree murder. Isn't that special!

I will on Monday, but I’m sure I’ll hear the PC BS we always hear from these companies. Plus, let’s face it, these cable companies are blackmailed into carrying treason and hate like this channel.

I get a kick from that last line - “Murders are being committed in the US every day by people of all faiths.”

Sure, but not beheadings!

"Domestic violence is despicable, and Islam condones it in no way whatever," he said. Murders are being committed in the US every day by people of all faiths."

Sawing off your wife's head is a step above domestic violence. People of only one faith seem to prefer this gruesome manner of killing.

Totally logical. Whenever I feel stress over bills one of the options that I consider is killing someone.

The mental pretzeling that liberals do to excuse radical Islam is hilarious.

Sure but not in the name of they faith. I do not know of any murder in recent times which was done to honor Jesus and praise Jehovah

And not just kill them, but cut thier head off! I mean I can see myself shooting or stabbing a burglar, or even someone I am furious at (not really, but I can at least understand it) But decapitation isn’t some swipe and you are done.

That’s pretty damn deliberate!

Actually, just called now, and the girl I talked to said I wasn’t the first to complain. She was very nice and said all complaints would definitely be looked at by management. I made mention of the $125 a month they get from me (HDTV, Internet, Phone) and I hope that lends some weight to the argument.

Another beheading slaughter ignored by NOW, MSM, DOJ and Homeland Security.
NOW, MSM, DOJ and Homeland Security (in unison, singing):
"Nothing to see here. It was an accident; she must have fallen.
And she deserved it like her clitorectomy.
Now move along.

Good. It’s good to see that there’s others with sense out there as well.

Money talks.
