Religion of peace...

The estranged wife of a Muslim television executive feared for her life after filing for divorce last month from her abusive husband, her attorney said — and was found beheaded Thursday in his upstate New York television studio.

Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37, was found dead on Thursday at the offices of Bridges TV in Orchard Park, N.Y., near Buffalo. Her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, has reportedly been charged with second-degree murder.

"She was very much aware of the potential ramification of her filing for divorce might have," said attorney Elizabeth DiPirro, whose law firm, Hogan Willig, represented Aasiya Hassan in the divorce proceeding. "But she wanted to proceed despite the potential for it to erupt."

DiPirro said the couple had "physical confrontations off and on" for their entire eight-year marriage that had recently escalated to death threats. The grounds for divorce were "cruel and inhuman treatment," DiPirro said, referring to mulitple prior incidents of abuse. She declined to elaborate.

"We were worried about the situation becoming volatile," DiPirro said.

The couple had two children, ages 4 and 6, DiPirro said. Muzzammil Hassan also has two children, ages 17 and 18, from a previous marriage.

DiPirro said Aasiya was a "brave" mother who sought a better life for her young children.

"She was a very brave woman who was extremely devoted to her children and had come to this decision after a long, thoughtful process and was determined to change her life for herself and her children," DiPirro said.

Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz told the Buffalo News that Aasiya Hassan had obtained an order or protection on Feb. 6, barring her husband from their home. Police have reportedly still not found the weapon allegedly used in the killing. Benz did not immediately return requests for comment Monday.

"Obviously this is the worst form of domestic violence possible," Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita told the Buffalo News.

Muzzammil Hassan, who founded Bridges TV in November 2004 to counter anti-Islam stereotypes, surrendered to police Thursday. Hassan touted the network as the "first-ever full-time home for American Muslims," according to a press release.

"Every day on television we are barraged by stories of a 'Muslim extremist, militant, terrorist, or insurgent,'" Hassan said in the 2004 release. "But the stories that are missing are the countless stories of Muslim tolerance, progress, diversity, service and excellence that Bridges TV hopes to tell."

Dr. Khalid Qazi, a friend of the couple and president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council of Western New York, said the channel had been under financial strain.

"I cannot believe it — I know them both well," Qazi told the Buffalo News. "I cannot get a handle on this."

Samira Khatib, a friend of the couple, said Aasiya Hassan encouraged her husband to launch the cable channel.

"They were really more than married — they encouraged each other in everything," Khatib told the Buffalo News. "She was such a lovely person."

According to the station's Web site, Aasiya Hassan "came up with the idea" for the network. The Web site, which shows an undated photo of the couple in happier times, identifies her maiden name as Aasiya Zubair.

seriously.


like this muslim is the ONLY person to have ever killed his spouse in this country....and/or was done for religious reasons....so yes, i simply do not *get* why even bring 'religion of peace' into it, at ALL. i don't think christianity, muslims, jews, etc.....none seem to corner the market on peace, not even close.



what happened to this woman, wife, mother...is disgusting and tragic....and sadly can happen, does happen, and will probably continue to happen...no matter what 'religion' people practice. how sad for her, and most especially, the children. :(

Excellent point. No Christian has EVER battered, abused, or murdered his wife in this country. Those damn Muslims, it's disgusting!

:roll:

Who Princess

I agree with d2d. Their religion is not a factor. The murder is horrific and it also illustrates one of the most important things that people should know about domestic violence. During most situations an abused woman is in the greatest danger immediately after she leaves the abuser, not while she is still living with him.

This man was not going to be stopped by something as simple as a restraining order. Now their children have effectively lost both parents.

Glad to see domestic abuse is now a political/religious issue...

Yeah, it was all the religion's fault.

It was a HORRIBLE thing, don't get me wrong. But I don't think the religion was the factor...

Religion of peace.. What about the woman that drowned her kids to protect them from Satan.. There's religion of peace....

flywallyfly

There must be a ton of closeted Muslims pretending to be Christians if only Muslims batter their spouses and kill them.

That's true, there's shitty people in all walks of life...but y'all let me know the next time a Christian, Jew, or Budhist chops off his old lady's head.

Domestic violence is horrible, but there's a difference in physical abuse and chopping off heads. Hiding this fact with PC bullshit doesn't change the reality.

And, I see Christians, Jews, and Budhists saying this all the time....all the time. :roll:

So it's more theatrical, so what? Is it better than those Mormons that were recently rounded up for raping children endlessly?

Also, there's no meaningful difference between murdering your wife by bludgeoning her with a tire iron and cutting off her head.

Good ole American Christians doing wonderful things... at least this guy left his kids alone and has the balls to face the music in prison.

this is exactly what i was thinking while reading drew's 2nd post.


so it's a-ok to bludgeon, shoot mercilessly, beat down, stab repeatedly, dismember, etc. your wife - as i do believe many of the christian persuasion have done to their spouses over the years in this country...but mercy, no, only those muslims choose to behead em, and THAT is just wrong?!


as for 'meaningful difference'.......as the wife, i think i'd take beheading, preferably with a very sharp blade....over bludgeoning. i think it would be a quicker, less painful death. but that's just me. and i don't truly follow any religion, so religious sympathy or PC BS, doesn't come into play.

Who Princess

My first thought on the husband's means of killing her was that he acted out of rage and wanted to destroy her attractiveness--hardly a sentiment confined to Muslims, Christians, Jews, or atheists. My next thought was that maybe he couldn't get a gun permit.

Abusers are a cold-hearted bastards and I'm not being PC by saying that they can come from any religious background.

who has said there wasn't a difference between domestic abuse and chopping off heads? :? who even compared the two? :roll: seriously, while the beheading IS a result of domestic violence in this case...in OTHER domestic violence cases, bludgeoning, shooting, stabbing, etc. are the result. thus why i question, is it only beheading that is reprehensible here? killing yur spouse by other means is a-ok? somehow i miss what is 'being PC' by not laying this at the feet of religion..but rather at the feet of the domestic abuser/murderer....regardless of their religion. in both, the 'reality' is a dead spouse.

fuck

Drew, do you read Debbie Schlussel? You seem to like to incite the same kind of hatred of Muslims she does. I'm sure if you ever meet her you could both enjoy talking about how Islam is a religion of chopping off heads, financial fraud, car accidents, and all that shit over a nice cup of beer.

CB206820

Is there a seperate charge for killing with a knife or shooting? Or does that all just fall under murder?

I thought so too...

Cornnifer beat you to that punch. If I insert atheist, wiccan, agnostic, buddhist, hindu, mormon, taoist, and all other religions named and unnamed, established or yet to be founded... will your PC sensibilities be sated? The point here is that nothing about this crime has anything to do with the guy's religion.

So... using Drew's logic. Since Hitler was a Christian... therefore, all Christians are like Hitler.

That is idiot's logic. Neither one is true... except in the mind of a moron.

funny how the OP thought any disagreement with his thread title somehow was 'being PC.' it's got nanda to do with being PC....nada to do with religion...and EVERYthing to do with an individual, a husband in this case, who is a sick fuck and murdered his wife. THERE is the story.
