I’m going to start this post out with my stupid disclaimer: I have friends who practice Islam as their faith. I don’t know them to be anything but loving people, as that’s who I try to surround myself with, and I think most folks of any faith are just trying to eke out a happy existence.
There is a “denomination” of sorts within Islam that is very dangerous to other faiths, and is filled with rage. (h/t to Michelle Malkin, though it’s been all over the network news) This denomination has opted to try to utilize our own (relatively) free and open society against us with the end-game of denying freedom. That’s why it’s important that people hear about this (link):
Prominent Orchard Park man charged with beheading his wife
By Gene Warner
News Staff ReporterOrchard Park police are investigating a particularly gruesome killing, the beheading of a woman, after her husband – an influential member of the local Muslim community – reported her death to police Thursday.
Police identified the victim as Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37. Detectives have charged her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder.
“He came to the police station at 6:20 p.m. [Thursday] and told us that she was dead,” Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz said late this morning.
Muzzammil Hassan told police that his wife was at his business, Bridges TV, on Thorn Avenue in the village. Officers went to that location and discovered her body.
Muzzammil Hassan is the founder and chief executive officer of Bridges TV, which he launched in 2004, amid hopes that it would help portray Muslims in a more positive light.
The killing apparently occurred some time late Thursday afternoon. Detectives still are looking for the murder weapon.
“Obviously, this is the worst form of domestic violence possible,” Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said today.
Authorities say Aasiya Hassan recently had filed for divorce from her husband.
“She had an order of protection that had him out of the home as of Friday the 6th [of February],” Benz said.
Muzzammil Hassan was arraigned before Village Justice Deborah Chimes and sent to the Erie County Holding Center.
May Aasiya Hassan rest in peace.

I know this man personally. He used to live in Fairfield, CT. His first marriage ended because of his abnormal behaviour. He should have let his wife get frredom from him peacefully. We don’t know the circumstances in which he killed his 2nd wife? Did he really kill her or someone else, we can not accuse him 100%, till it is proved. Whatsoever, that death has shocked the whole Muslim Community in America and can never be forgiven. But in the meantime, We can not blame anyone’s religion for such a behaviour. Only the mentally sick and disturbed people will do something like that. Prophet of Islam peace be upon Him says clearly, that the best Muslim is the one who treats his wife in the best manner. Antone who does not follow the commands of Almighty God and His Prophets are not true Muslims. I’m worried about the older parents and young children of both of them!
