New York TV executive accused of beheading wife to go on trial
CNN ^ | January 18, 2011

Posted on 01/18/2011 5:22:04 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

(CNN) -- The trial of a New York television executive accused of beheading his wife starts Tuesday.

Authorities learned about the incident in February 2009 when Muzzammil Hassan went to a police station in the Buffalo, New York, suburb of Orchard Park and told officers his wife was dead, police have said.

Hassan, who founded a TV network aimed at countering Muslim stereotypes, took officers to the network's office where officers found the decapitated body of his wife, Aasiya Hassan.

Hassan has pleaded not guilty to the charge of second-degree murder in the case.

Opening arguments in the case are scheduled for Tuesday morning, CNN affiliate WIVB reported. The trial has been delayed many times, and Hassan has fired three defense attorneys before finding a suitable one, the affiliate reported.

Hassan was the chief executive officer, and Aasiya Hassan was the general manager of the network.

He launched Bridges TV, billed as the first English-language cable channel targeting Muslims inside the United States, in 2004.

At the time, Hassan said he hoped the network would balance negative portrayals of Muslims following the attacks of September 11, 2001.

I can understand killing your wife, but actually cutting your wife’s head off? There’s got to be some unique genes at work there.

Kind of reminds me of a joke, where the punchline is “Your honor, this is not the first time my wife had attempted suicide!”

Gotta love the ROP! (Religion Of Pieces, body pieces in all different directions)

Who was funding this propaganda network? My guess the same shareholders and joint venture partners in the 6 major TV networks that own 90+% of the channels aka Saudi Arabia.

If the girl can wear her religious garb while playing basketball, then a husband should have the right to discipline his wife.

So he demonstrated how untrue the stereotypes were by beheading his wife.

I think he really demonstrated that there is a level of STUPID that goes much lower than we ever imagined.
