Do as I say, not as I do! OR, cut to the quick!

Normally I would have just glanced over this article and left it alone for two reasons.

One, I don’t know what all the circumstances were.

Two. There is enough of this type of news going around anyway and I didn’t want to add to it!

BUT! When I saw the irony in this report there is no way that I couldn’t comment.

It started out normal enough if you consider that a guy killed his wife because she wanted a divorce is normal!

(Well OK, let’s call it “common enough” instead of normal!)


A Buffalo, New York-area man accused of killing his estranged wife made his first appearance in court Wednesday to face murder charges.

Nothing too out of the ordinary yet, could have happened next door, right?


Muzzammil Hassan, 44, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 37-year-old wife, Aasiya Zubair Hassan, days after she filed for divorce and was granted a restraining order against him.
Still not too much out of the ordinary, after all, we all know that people from those hot countries are quick to temper! (sic)


Aasiya Hassan filed for divorce February 6, police said. That night, he showed up at the couple’s home, she notified authorities, and he was served with a restraining order.

In fact, reports Aasiya’s divorce attorney, the couple had “physical confrontations off and on” during their entire eight-year marriage, and these recently escalated to Muzzammil issuing death threats. Salma Zubair, who says she is Aasiya’s sister, writes that Aasiya “lived her eight years of married life with fear.”

Aasiya began divorce proceedings on the grounds of “cruel and inhuman treatment” and won an “Order of Protection” on February 6 to force Muzzammil out of their shared house, enraging him; according to the local police chief, Muzzammil “came back to the residence and was pounding on doors and broke one window.”

Now, this is where we start to need a course correction because the story goes seriously off the tracks from this point on!


On February 12, the couple encountered each other at their television studio.

(Seems they did some sort of a T.V. show together.)

At 6:20 p.m., Muzzammil went to the police and told them where to find his wife’s corpse. Officers found her body in a hallway at the station, decapitated and with multiple stab wounds.

Detectives charged Muzzammil with murder and are looking for the knife used to kill her.

That’s right bunky, he cut off her head!

But! Still nothing too wrong here since we all know that once those crazy Arabs get mad, the first thing they will do is cut off your head, right?


A reliable source said that Muzzammil repeatedly told his wife that she had no right, under Islamic law, to divorce him.

They also quote him as stating that Aasiya, because she was beheaded, cannot reach paradise.

NOW, my friends, neighbors and countrymen, this is where we get to the really STRANGE part!

Here was a couple that appeared to be the picture of assimilation and tolerance, and were co-founders of a television network that aspired to improve the image of Muslims in a post 9-11 world.

Yes, you heard me right!

Improve the image....................!

Sorry boys!

It didn’t work!

What’s with these psychos? I am all for peaceful religious practices, but it is simply sick. Can I feel safe around religious people? I mean, how do I know if that believer - mostly the monotheistic ones - will cut me up out of some religious conviction or not?

I think Islam as a religion is dangerous and whether radical or not, still not compatible with Western democracy and liberties. Rather like many movements before, such as Nazism, it is liable to render the adherents susceptible to acts that would in other situations, not occur.

Unlike Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and numerous other religions, Islam does not have the golden rule of respect for fellow mankind. It’s a faith, that in its multiple teachings, whether in the Quran or Ahadith, proscribes intolerance and violence. Remember too, the rules of abrogation and the chronology of the verses between Medina and Mecca.

Yes, it sheds a bad light on Islam.
Will I draw the conclusion Islam == Evil, Muslim == Murderous Folks?
Not really. Probably because I know a few Muslim, who are great guys and sick of this whole business of going all hardcore - it’s like interpreting the Old Testament literally again.

There are a lot of mentally ill among the Christian extremists - the “chattel farms” in the US with the rape and polygamy, the “we have to extend the rule of the Lord Jesus” and “love Jesus like the Hitler-jugend loved Hitler” kind of preachers.
Yes, sadly there are more such acts in the Middle-East, Pakistan, and Africa where the government and the religion are not separated - and of course at every group where the priests are in power.
It is more difficult for a religious group to grab the power in plain sight where the secularization is a tradition - although they try really hard.

As a Muslim she had no right to file for divorce?
well, In Arab countries, or let me say, at least in Jordan, I’ve heard of a couple of cases where Christian women converted into Islam just to get a divorce, as Jordanian Christians don’t really get a divorce when they wish so.

Now I guess there are psychos everywhere... and this was one of them...:)

To make a difference, I think more Muslims should come out and condemn such acts indeed. Unfortunately, too few do, whether through fear or complicity.

No right to a divorce? He probably meant she had no complaint that justified a divorce. If she said it was because he was beating her, then he would have said he was well withing his rights to beat her beacuse the Quran 4:34 says.....

{Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property. So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.}

See, he had his rights to scream at her, kick her out of bed, and beat her.

I don’t make this stuff up, it just comes that strange.

Amazing story, very interesting.
I just find it abhorent the thought of hacking off someones head, let alone one’s own wife, having shared intimate moments together, kissed each other, ok they didn’t get along any more but then to hack off her head..... sick .... sick... sick.
