An Afghan diplomat was charged Friday with beating his wife "like a dog" for more than 15 hours in their Queens home, prosecutors said.

Mohammed Fagirad, 30, a vice consul at the Afghanistan Consulate, brutalized his wife inside their Flushing home from about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday until nearly midnight, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.

During the attack, Fagirad bit, slapped, choked and beat the 22-year-old woman with a belt, pushed her down a flight of stairs and sat on her chest, prosecutors said.

At one point, prosecutors said, Fagirad threw his wife up against a wall, held her there by the neck and then let her drop to the floor, where he beat her with a belt.

Fagirad told police his "wife was a dog and he was going to treat her like a dog," prosecutors said.

What's all the fuss about? It isn't as if he decapitated her or anything like that...

She persistently beat the poor man about his fists with her face and head. What could he do?

And after he was finished with her, she still referred to Christians as infidels.

After having lived in Muslim countries for more than 25 years, I became immune to these kind of stories and honor killings. It is said that in many Muslim backyards in the ME there are graves in which female remains rest. I cannot imagine anything more evil on this planet than Islam.

If our government and the people want them in our society then there is nothing I can do while I slowly see things turn to sh*t.

Invite a cancer into your home and face the consequences.

Remember folks, we haven’t heard the whole story here. We don’t know what the wife might have done. We don’t know her history of enraging her husband. Let’s keep an open mind. /s

And in more Muslim Valentine’s Day news,

From the Corner at NRO by Mark Steyn....

“Headless body in gutless press [Mark Steyn]

Just asking, but are beheadings common in western New York? I used to spend a lot of time in that neck of the woods and I don’t remember decapitation as a routine form of murder. Yet the killing of Aasiya Hassan seems to have elicited a very muted response.

When poor Mrs Hassan’s husband launched his TV network to counter negative stereotypes of Muslims, he had no difficulty generating column inches, as far afield as The Columbus Dispatch, The Detroit Free Press, The San Jose Mercury News, Variety, NBC News, the Voice of America and the Canadian Press. The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle put the couple on the front page under the headline “Infant TV Network Unveils The Face Of Muslim News”.

But, when Muzzammil Hassan kills his wife and “the face of Muslim news” is unveiled rather more literally, detached from her corpse at his TV studios, it’s all he can do to make the local press - page 26 of Newsday, plus The Buffalo News, and a very oddly angled piece in the usually gung-ho New York Post, “Buffalo Beheading: Money Woe Spurred Slay”.

Oh, really? He beheaded her for some goofy clause in the insurance policy? Not exactly:

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.

Ah.

“He was worried about the station’s future,” said Dr. Khalid Qazi, a friend of the couple and president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council of Western New York, who last spoke to the Hassans a week ago...

“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.”

Well, maybe. But for sheer news value you’d think this one might stand out. Look at this picture. That’s the very definition of “moderate Muslim”. Look at the late Aasiya Hassan, beautifully coiffed, glossy-lipped. On countless occasions since 9/11, I’ve found myself at lunch or dinner in New York, London, Washington, Paris or some other western city, sitting next to a modern Muslim woman like Mrs Hassan telling me how horrified she is at how hijabs and burqas, honor killings and genital mutilation, forced cousin marriages and the disproportionate number of Muslim wives in European battered women’s shelters, how all these have come to define Muslim womanhood in the 21st century. Yet Aasiya Hassan ended up no differently - all because her husband’s TV network had a cashflow problem?

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.

No surprise.

Dogs are unclean filth to a Muslim; “an angel will not enter a house if there is a dog present.” Koran &/or Hadith

“beating his wife “like a dog” for more than 15 hours”

A minor spat in the muslim world.

When Fagirad left the home, his wife fled and went to the 109th Precinct stationhouse, where she filed a domestic violence report, prosecutors said. She then returned home.

Yeah. That'll work.

If I were her, I would purchase an illegal gun, go back home, and shoot the son of a bitch.

“I’ll treat you like a dog”, a disturbing insight into how he would treat a helpless dog.

And we all know how muslims just looooooooooooove dogs! /s
