New York: Moderate Muslim wife beheader says the beheading was justified because his wife was mean to him

Muzzammil Hasan: Islamic supremacist wuss. Note the typical Islamic supremacist shifting of blame and responsibility to the victim. This was mentioned in this post, but this story highlights it, and it is worth highlighting this absurdity: "NY man accused of beheading claims he was battered," by Carolyn Thompson for The Associated Press, January 22 (thanks to all who sent this in):

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The founder of an Islam-oriented television station who is accused of beheading his wife was abused by her for years, according to his lawyer, who said Friday he will pursue a defense combining that justification as well as psychiatric claims.

Defense attorneys' claims that Muzzammil Hassan was victimized by his wife drew a blunt response from District Attorney Frank Sedita after a hearing Friday.

"He chopped her head off," Sedita said. "He chopped her head off. That's all I have to say about Mr. Hassan's apparent defense that he was a battered spouse."...

"The spouse was the dominant figure in this relationship," attorney Frank Bogulski said outside the courtroom. "He was the victim. She was verbally abusive. She had humiliated him."

Nancy Sanders, a former news director at Bridges TV, was skeptical of the abuse claim, noting the stocky Hassan stood over 6 feet tall and "filled a doorway," while Aasiya was slender and several inches shorter.

"I never ever heard her disparage him in the workplace at all," Sanders said. "It just did not seem to be in her nature. She was very gentle."...

A comment at the Houston Chronicle's posting of this AP story sums up Hassan's defense: "I heard that even to the end the wife was abusing him. For example, the bones in her neck gave him some bad scratches while he was hacking her head off."

Frank Bogulski, I hope you never get another peaceful night of sleep. You should be ashamed to represent this filth.

For the billionth time! Islam Means Peace! [in a bloodthirsty kind of way.]

"He chopped her head off," Sedita said. "He chopped her head off. That's all I have to say about Mr. Hassan's apparent defense that he was a battered spouse."

Just ask yourselves, fellow Americans, prior to the presence of muslims among us, when was the last time you heard of murders where the head is severed from the body in the context of a religion?

It must have been fun to compose the title. Macabre, but fun.

Not just statistics. Seeing reports of all the people killed by Muslims it is easy to see the victims as just another statistic but these people are truly dead, their life is over, the end, no more for them. It just seems somehow different than victims of accidents, disease, or even soldiers in war or criminals fighting among one another. Truly innocent people doing nothing more than living their life but killed by Muslims on jihad or otherwise acting on the Islamic impulse, is uniquely tragic, and then their disappearance from the face of the earth is made even worse as their killers act as though they did nothing wrong. Islam has no peer in pure evil.

"He was the victim. She was verbally abusive. She had humiliated him." quote from defense Frank Bogulski

And this lame excuse isn't humiliating? Mr. Bogulski should watch his own head, given his client's sensitivities.


Wow, that is so weak.

Wake up America!
Look what sort of Islamic savages you are letting in our homeland. These 7th century barbarian should be deported back to his native overflowing septic tank - Pakistan, where he would be welcomed as a national hero. He does not belong here because our culture is vastly different than theirs. We don't slaughter women like goats and chickens, neither do we marry and have sex with them when they are toddlers nor do we sell them nor marry multiple women and beat them up.
Muzzammil wants to be a caveman and his place is rightfully with dinosaurs in the land that time forgot - Pakistan.

Hahahaha! If this is what "moderate" Muzzies do then I don't even want know what the extremists are up to!

Our alleged representatives really don't mind mixing this sort of people in with us.

It doesn't bother them.

Hassan fired the attorney ... replaced him with a lawyer who promised "a revolutionary defense". Which is: "He was the victim. ... She had humiliated him." And Hassan was served with divorce papers a week before ...

It's quite clear that this lawyer is pandering to his client's warped islamic world view rather then providing (whether he deserves it or not) a serious defense (which lawyers, like it or not, are supposed to provide).

This Bogulski must know he's positioning his client for complete failure. A "My wife provoked me into cutting her head off" defense? While this may work in islamic states, in the US, I'm happy to say, this sort of defense has not yet been accepted as viable. So I wonder, what is Bogulski angle here? What's in it for him?

Side note: This guy Hassan defines the word irony. A muslim that creates a network to combat islamic stereotypes and ends up committing the worse stereotypical atrocities.

"He chopped her head off," Sedita said. "He chopped her head off. That's all I have to say about Mr. Hassan's apparent defense that he was a battered spouse."

Mr Hassan suffers the delusion that because a woman can shoot her sleeping husband and be found innocent of murder he could behead his wife and be found innocent. How unfair.

Frank Bogulski, I hope you never get another peaceful night of sleep. You should be ashamed to represent this filth.

Not sure I agree here.

Of course common decency dictates to "us" that shameful acts should be avoided, but c'mon! there is so much exposure (media events and book deals!), that one (and all) can't pass up!

What an event! What a circus! What a way to make a quick f*cking buck!

The apathetic American way (in line waiting pay for gas behind Lotto buyers!).

""He was the victim. ... She had humiliated him." And Hassan was served with divorce papers a week before ..."

This is described as a "revolutionary defense" but I don't think it is. Haven't there been other cases of spousal abuse perpetrated on the husband?

Maybe the beheading was in the interest of islamic symmetry. A kind of top and tail of first the clitoris then the head.

They really do love cutting things off don't they?

His wife must have felt somewhat "discombobulated" that day

"Wake up America" absolutely. But ufortunately the only way will be to get Oprah and the Feminist Movement behind the wake up effort. In our modern American Idol mind set it requires a pop culture like figure to awake the national concience. Can you just imagine the outrage had this been a Fudamentalist Evangelic Christian?

POOR BATTERED GUY ,CAN ALLAH AND OSAMA BEN LADEN HELP HIM..

Rico, puleeze. You'll turn blue waiting for Oprah to lift a finger. Remember, her project and Muslim apologist is now in the White House. And the Feminist Movement? Jihad Watch has been around for going on seven years now and they've been MIA the entire time.

But I believe the Muslims are doing a great job of educating the American people with all their shenanigans, especially over the past six months. Underwear bombers, Muslim fathers in cars running over Muslim daughters who are too "westernized", CAIR's documents being seized by the FBI and exposed in Dave Gaubatz' book and now this six foot fat boy whining about how his wittle feewings were huwt by his mean, mean 110 11b wife. Everybody I know is talking about it, even my relatives who I've been telling this stuff to for years are telling me first. There's a reason why the top brain surgeons in the world don;t have Muslim names.

Why O Why is that poor lady dead?
Did she look once at Ted?
Did she not bake halal bread?
Was she bad in bed?
How many times was her hubby wed?
Did her "abuse" get into his head?
Why didn't he whip her instead?
(Anyone who wants to continue this is welcome to.)

This is so pitifully racist; he just happens to be a murderer who happens to be Arab...and the methodology was beheading.

Horrible. End of story.

In Canton, Ohio...in my state... A man kills his children and his ex mother in law for *revenge*.

http://www.newsnet5.com/news/22130209/detail.html

Who's *sicker*? Bullets, hands, knives, swords, bombs, rope, blunt instruments, poison, dogs, etc. have all been used as murder weapons by men (and women) of all races, faiths and economic backgrounds.

My G-d! The sheer fact of using a 12-year old girl for this slaughter says it all. There is no hope for Islam. None at all.
Most citizens of muslim countries, who live in a western nation and become citizens of their new "homelands" keep their original passport, because countries such as Morocco, Algeria, etc. will not accept their citizens to become official citizens of another country. Here lies a relatively "easy" way out, as most western countries do not accept their citizens to also be a citizen of another country, except for muslims because "it isn't their fault that they cannot return their passport to their country of birth". At least, that's what the scared and corrupt politicians say. I see a mega chance to bring these people back to the 7th century and let them do whatever they see fit in their medieval societies.

"This is so pitifully racist".

This is so pitifully ignorant. Anna, Islam is not a race. Did the man in your story saw his victim's head's off? Did he do it after his wife filed for divorce? Did he then claim that his wife abused him, all 110 1bs of her. Honey, you need to get educated before you even think of spewing on Jihad Watch.

Joeblough said it best:

"Our alleged representatives really don't mind mixing this kind of people in with us."

Don't ya' just love diversity?

Why, the Aztecs ritually beheaded sacrificial victims all the time. And that was only 800 years ago -- virtually yesterday.

The above was supposed to be a reply to "fscarn's" earlier comment. Without that reference, it's pretty much meaningless.

Filthy Kafir, we gotcha, babe! Jihad Watchers are smarter than the average bloggers. ; )

In 'The Haj' by Leon Uris, the main character, Haj Ibrahim, a Palestinian who was prominent,well-respected and admired among Palestinians, kills his daughter at the end of the book. She 'dishonored' him by sleeping with other men before being married. Although he loved her (without expressing it, as is typical for Arab fathers) his HONOR had been defiled, so he killed her with his knife and then butchered her body. His son Ishmael, who loved his sister and his father Ibrahim, eventually became insane after this murder.

It was Mr. Hasan's 'honor' that drove him to kill and behead his wife. It was an 'honor killing'. This should be his defense, that his wife dishonored him and by Sharia Law he was entitled to slaughter her like a pig. Notice how the 'moderate' Muslim does not want to use the 'Sharia Defense'. His fellow Muslims would never allow it. He should do the 'honorable' thing and slit his own throat. At least we tax payers would be spared the cost and the pathetic display of his sick lawyer's defense.

Anna, Racist is what Robert Spencer and posters talked about certainly not; it is abundantly clear they regarded his FAITH not his race, a big determining factor for his behavior. And faith is something people choose.

But it is hard to refute your argument in the absence of absolute valid statistics about killings of wives/ loved ones in the past and present all around the world in relation to which faith a perpetrator (and victim) has.

But to me you act like a lazy thinker in dismissing outright a connection between this man’s Islamic faith/ upbringing and his bloody deed. You can’t prove any other motive too. OK, I can see you respond with: “Islam is innocent until proven guilty.”

But in that case, this website is about bringing forward the incriminating evidence, clues, indications for the prosecution of Islam. Is it fair to consistently close your mind for this evidence all the time, dismissing/ contradicting it outright or mostly ignoring it?

If we prosecute a faith, in this case the Islamic faith, it may indeed be found innocent, but not a priori/ in advance please. Don't say "Islam MUST be innocent, there is no doubt about that" either.

And if we find strong indications of the causal effect of Islam on killing wives/ loved ones under certain conditions, might we and the Muslims not then start remedying at least this portion of the total amount of killings?

I think it is really wrong to protect any belief system, faith, life-conviction the way you do it, by outright rejecting/ dismissing, ignoring evidence, clues, testimonies.

At times put all faiths/ life-convictions under scrutiny as well as all the behavior that seems to be motivated by it, I think. If they are good, they’ll survive and may shine even more.

Just as there would be accusers, there would be defenders in abundance too, in a society where free speech is fiercely protected. Something, by the way, that many Muslims and Islamic societies do very poorly when it comes to their faith.

I think with that question you've nailed it-- you've caught the true spirit of this absurd Muslim madness.
