The moderate Muslim moderately beheaded his wife.

Is it a religion of peace? It's a religion of two pieces so far -- especially with those so-called honor killings.

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

I am amazed that CNN has picked up this story.

The wolf can put on the sheep’s clothing in hopes of pulling the wool over people's eyes, but that doesn't change his appetite.

I wonder who he was trying to convince with his television network. Us or himself.

He’s done it again?

He must have at least 10 wives.

Well, it’s about time CNN reported this . . . I’m frankly surprised they did.

Yet ANOTHER PRICELESS GEM from the "Religion" of "Peace".

Well, he’s certainly countered any stereotype of Muslims I might have had.

Wow - the definition of a moderate Muslim is one who beheads his wife. The definition of a fanatical Muslim must be one who beheads strangers. Nice “religion” there! /s

This story would probably have garnered more press coverage if it happened somewhere other than where it did. Orchard Park, Lackawanna and West Seneca, NY are where a very large population of these ROP muslims have settled. So as not to offend their sensibilities they get good treatment by the press.

They are “tolerant, peaceful, kind, loving and open-minded.” Or so goes the lie that the left wants us to believe. I guess this incident shows what they really are like.
Funny, it wasn’t on my evening news - just like the beheading of a Polish man wasn’t on my evening news.

The station's staff is "deeply shocked and saddened by the murder of Aasiya Hassan and the subsequent arrest of Muzzammil Hassan," a statement from Bridges TV said.... "Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to the families of the victim," the statement said.

The families of the victim would include, of course, the murderer. Condolences and prayers going out to the murderer. And they are deeply shocked and saddened by the ... arrest of Muzzammil Hassan. Nice.

What a sentence - you can't make this stuff up - no one would believe you. Or as Monty Python would say "it's just a flesh wound".

all islam is evil... as are all "practicing by the book" islamics... even those that act moderate... for they are a member of the death cult first... and nothing second.
