Buffalo Man Who Launched TV Network to Show Muslims in Positive Light Arrested -- for Beheading His Wife

By Greg Mitchell

NEW YORK A prominent Buffalo area businessman who founded the BridgesTV network to improve the image of Muslims in the U.S. has been arrested and charged with murdering his estranged wife – by beheading her at his company’s office in Orchard Park, N.Y., on Thursday.

Police have charged the husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder in the death of Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37.

In its logo, BridgesTV boasts of “connecting people through understanding” via its dish network available in several states. Its Web site quotes comments about the company by Jay Leno, Brian Williams and others, plus a screen shot of a CNBC interview with Hassan conducted by Maria Bartiromo.

The site also shows a picture of Hassan with his slain wife, described as playing “an instrumental role in the creation of Bridges TV since she came up with the idea for the network.” The alleged killer is called “Mo S. Hassan” at the web site.

NPR's "All Things Considered" profiled the Hassans in 2004. The segment opened, "A new cable network for Muslim-Americans is up and running in Detroit. Bridges TV says it wants to inform and entertain Muslims and, at the same time, give viewers who aren't Muslims a glimpse into their culture ...

"Mo Hassan was traveling from Buffalo to Detroit a few weeks after the September 11th terrorist attacks when his wife came up with the idea for the new network. They were in the car listening to the radio when they heard some derogatory remarks about Muslims."

Programs include kids shows, "American Muslim Teen Talk," Amy Goodman's "Democracy Now" and an interview show with James Zogby. Its news program "brings you balanced coverage from around the world. News you can trust."

He is CEO of the company after stints as a sales rep at Proctor & Gamble and as a banker in Buffalo. He got his MBA at the University of Rochester. The bio concludes: “Mr. Hassan brings to Bridges TV vision, persistence, data-based decision making and financial discipline.”

Police says the wife had an order of protection from the man. A murder weapon has not yet been recovered.

lol, irony.

 

[flying_whale]

white trash--like you--generally tend to murder, shoot, and rape their wives too. But they are muslims...therefore, they may be worst. Great.

gah Lynn! i was already feeling sick..thanks D:

I want to see this video of the beheading. I'll do some research later.

Again, the Islamic faith has no place in modern society.

 

[Captain Beard]

I don't think most of the big ones have any place here anymore. Maybe Buddhists can stay, though.

 

[Dead Winter]

We're talking modern society; this isn't a "religion is wrong" sort of argument. This just means that a faith such as Islam cannot co-exist with other differently-minded people. It's not a question of which religion is right or wrong; it's a question of having tolerance for other people. Christianity is hypocritical, this is true, but they don't go around beheading people and blowing themselves up on Main Street USA. Many of them are retarded, yes, but they are modern people with tolerance.

Street preaching and being annoying is a far cry from suicide bombings and beheadings.

humans are strange creatures ... they tend to invest planets , and therefor must be destroyed ...the mustlims just understand this by blowing up themselves and taking other with them...

W understood this fact too btw but he was too selfish to do the kamikaze thingy

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.
Here's how it works.

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a thr eat to other citizens. This is the case in:

United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness20as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:

Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria - - Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

'Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, 'The Haj'

It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrasses. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.

Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's population by the end of this century.

hahaha that has to be the worst bullshit I've ever read, lynn

We're talking modern society; this isn't a "religion is wrong" sort of argument. This just means that a faith such as Islam cannot co-exist with other differently-minded people. It's not a question of which religion is right or wrong; it's a question of having tolerance for other people. Street preaching and being annoying is a far cry from suicide bombings and beheadings.

Erm, why are you comparing the extreme side of the islamist movement to the "normal" christians? The majority of the muslims don't share these values. Plus, you do have your crazies as well.

Christianity is hypocritical, this is true, but they don't go around beheading people and blowing themselves up on Main Street USA. Many of them are retarded, yes, but they are modern people with tolerance.

This argument works in reverse as well!

Man, Lynn and Dead Winter. A couple of history classes would do you a great deal of good. Seriously. And plus, Dead Winter, your use of semi-colons annoys me. You use them too much for them to have the great effect good writers use them for.


Kudos to Karmic.

And of course, it is easy to believe bullshit like the one you are quoting, Lynn. American history classes at high school level are a total bullshit. First, you not only not learn much factual stuff, but also history books are distorted to be pro-American and patriotic. Second, when they present the flip side of the coin, they generally present the one that is more generally plausible by the American public, not necessarily the one that is accurate.

I'm not blaming the American high school system. It does what it is supposed to do--create patriotic drones that will go to war if necessary and that will work hard for the country. It is really good education policy from the government's perspective. So if you actually want to know what happened, go to college and take more history classes, especially those research oriented.

An example of historical distortion is the WWII. In most high school level American history classes (not AP level ones through), the authors demonize Japan to the fullest. They spare some compassion here and there for the Japanese Intermittent Camps and for nukes, but they don't mention why Japan went to war and how America helped it. They don't present the internal Japanese politics in 30s, nor Japan's interests in Manchuria and not America's "Gentlemen's Agreement" for Japan (which said that Japan is entitled to an empire in East Asia as much as America is to one in the Caribbean). And they don't say that America was isolating itself from the world in the 20s in a way that Japan got an automatic green light for the things Roosevelt put an embargo on later. And they don't talk about the Japanese perception that America would go to war anyway (which was pretty accurate), so the attack on Pearl Harbor is not explained fully. I won't go into further details, I gotta eat breakfast, but I will tell you the most telling distorsion:
Not even once do they really talk about the strategic firebombings--which burnt alive in Tokyo in one night more than twice what the two nukes combined did. But, if you do it with napalm is ok, when you nuke them, it is not. Saves America the face of explaining that it actually meant to demoralize Japan through civilan murder (as McNamara explained in the 50s).

Again, organized religion has no place in modern society.

...

well religion bothers because i get confronted with it on daily basis...this is anoying

 

[CliffBurton]

Quite the text wall here.
A guy who is promoting peace and love and understanding for a religion that is currently stereotyped as being violent and abusive to women, brutally murdered his wife.

Would have had a similar reaction had it been a Rabbi beating pigs to death with sock full of gold nuggets.

nice post, Lynn
