Beheading of Woman in Upstate NY
 Muslim Husband Accused of 'Honor Killing'

 

Religion Of Peace Alert: New York Muslim TV Executive Beheads His Wife
By TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty (article source: http://www.traditionalvalues.org/print.php?sid=3559 )

 

February 18, 2009 – Two days before Valentine's Day, when most men are running frantically through the mall trying to find a card, candy and something special for their wives, a Muslim TV executive in New York chopped his wife's head off.

 

Muzzammil Hassan's wife, Aasiya had filed for divorce from him and had a restraining order to bar him from their home. She said she was the victim of cruel and inhuman treatment and wanted to protect her children from his brutality.

 

This story is both tragic and ironic. It is tragic because Hassan apparently slaughtered his wife and the mother of their two small children. 

 

It is ironic because in 2004, he founded Bridges TV, a network founded to improve the image of Muslims in the United States. Hassan supposedly wanted his station to help overcome negative stereotypes Americans have of Muslims – especially since 9/11.

 

In a 2004 press release on Bridges TV, Hassan bragged that his station would describe "Muslim tolerance, progress, diversity, service and excellence." Chopping his wife's head off seems to be an ineffective way of conveying Muslim tolerance. It would appear that American "stereotypes" of Muslims may be accurate after all.

 

Bridges TV appeared to have had trouble creating a positive image of Muslims from the beginning. It featured radical Wahhabi sermons from Saudi TV – which routinely included anti-Christian, anti-Jewish propaganda. One of its main hosts was Donald Conover, who discussed the power of the "Jewish lobby" and urged Muslims to vote Democrat. Bridges TV also included an interview show with James Zogby, who in 1977 co-founded the Palestine Human Rights Campaign, which served as a propaganda arm of Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization. (Zogby heads the Arab American Institute and works for the polling organization, Zogby International with his brother John.)

 

Wife Beating And Honor Killings Approved By Islamic Clerics

 

Muzzammil Hassan has apparently committed what is standard practice in many Muslim families: The so-called "honor killing." Under radical Shariah Law, this is permitted to restore the supposed honor of the male head of the family. In America, law enforcement agencies are dealing with increasing numbers of these so-called honor killings by Muslim men. The victims are usually wives or daughters who have adopted western ways of thinking or behavior.

 

Many politically-correct commentators are claiming that Hassan's actions have no relationship to his religious beliefs. This is false. It has everything to do with Islam's teachings about the subjection of women under male domination.

 

The use of violence against wives – including honor killings -- are approved practices in Islamic tradition. Punishment ranges from "light discipline" to honor killings. The use of violence against women is rooted in the Qur'an (Koran). 

 

According to Islam founder Mohammed, it was permissible to beat wives if they are "emboldened towards their husbands." The Koran says in 4:34 that it is permissible to beat wives. Muslim clerics also approve of the practice. Spanish cleric Mohammed Kamal Mustafa authored a book, Women In Islam, that describes how men are to use physical punishment against their wives.

 

Honor killings are also approved in Islamic cultures even in those nations that don't fully operate under Shariah Law. Phyllis Chesler, writing in the Middle East Quarterly, (Spring, 2009) writes about how common honor killing is in Muslim nations and is becoming increasingly common in Western nations where there are large populations of unassimilated Muslims. The numbers of honor killings are on the rise. In 2007, in only one province of Pakistan there were 1,261 honor killings! Jordanian Muslim clerics have declared that honor killings are an imperative!

 

Wife beating and so-called honor killings are part of Islamic belief!

 

Muzzammil Hassan has proven what many Americans believe about radical Islam: It is incompatible with American freedom and those practicing the Wahhabi brand of Islam have no respect for human life or for women's rights. Hassan's brand of Islam has no place on American soil. His brutal murder of his wife should be vigorously prosecuted to send a message to other Muslims that if they wish to live in freedom, they must respect our Judeo-Christian legal system and our Constitution.
