Before he beheaded her
Hassan's calm call and confession to the police is consistent with the behavior of the perpetrators of other Islamic honor killings around the world. Many times they are quite calm after doing the deed, turn themselves in, and sometimes even express gratitude to Allah for the chance to cleanse their family's honor. "Cops Detail Statements by Accused Muslim TV Exec in Wife's Killing," from 1010 WINS, May 4 (thanks to Mark):
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP/1010 WINS) -- A police detective said Tuesday that he hadn't finished shaking Muzzammil Hassan's hand upon meeting him before Hassan confessed to killing his wife.The testimony in Erie County Court, part of a pretrial proceedings in Hassan's second-degree murder case, provided the first public account of what Hassan said when he walked into the police station last Feb. 12 and directed officers to his wife's body.
"I want to tell you that I just killed my wife and I'm here to turn myself in," Lt. Joseph Buccilli said Hassan calmly told him as he greeted him in the lobby.
"She's gone. There's no doubt about it," the 45-year-old Hassan said when Buccilli asked whether he was sure she was dead.
Officers then found 37-year-old Aasiya Hassan's stabbed and decapitated body inside the Muslim-oriented television station the couple had founded a few years earlier to counter negative media portrayals of Muslims....
Then follows some material about how the defense is going to try to get Hassan sprung based on some alleged police improprieties at the time of his arrest. And then it gets even worse:
Hassan's attorneys plan to pursue a psychiatric defense which may include claims that Hassan was humiliated and abused at the hands of his wife. He had been served divorce papers less than a week before his arrest. The couple had two young children, who were outside in a van when Hassan spoke with police, witnesses said. They are now living with Aasiya's mother in Pakistan.In court Tuesday, Rogers' co-counsel, Frank Bogulski, asked that Hassan be referred to as "Mo" in court instead of Muzzammil because he has gone by the shorter name for years. Neither the judge nor prosecutor Colleen Curtin Gable would agree to the request.
Good. Personally, I think Hassan looks more like Curly than like Mo. But the whole exercise, in all seriousness, was just an attempt to claim victim status for this man who beheaded his wife:
Outside the courtroom, his lawyers said Hassan felt his name unfairly stereotyped him and that it was difficult enough in a post-9/11 society for a Muslim man to get a fair trial."People automatically make assumptions," Rogers said.
For pete's sake, Rogers. How are you sleeping lately? Has it ever crossed your mind that people might automatically make assumptions about a guy who beheaded his wife, whether he's a Muslim or a Theravada Buddhist? Of course, only one religion directs its followers to "strike at the necks" of unbelievers (Qur'an 47:4) -- but how "Islamophobic" of me to mention that, since Aasiya Hassan wasn't an unbeliever!
Of course, if that were a teaching of any other religion, and it had just that kind of tangential relation to a heinous crimes such as "Mo" Hassan's, prosecutors would have no trouble discussing it as evidence of a cultural atmosphere that would have led Hassan to an increased acceptance of the idea of beheading as a reasonable course of action. But when it comes to Islam, forget it: that will never, ever be mentioned.
"She's gone. There's no doubt about it," the 45-year-old Hassan said when Buccilli asked whether he was sure she was dead.
Yep, beheading is unquestionably the way to ensure someone is dead.
...what an utterley dismal man-made creed Islam is.....
HMMM...There was a trollish poster a while back who called himself 'Muzzammil'...He suddenly stopped posting about the time Hasan was arrested...Don't you think that's just a little tooo coincidental?
"...what an utterley dismal man-made creed Islam is...."
Yes, it's the mother of all "man-caused disasters", as SoHS Napolitano might say.
My question is why he couldn't turn himself in before he beheaded his wife............
Oh, yeah. Mohammed (BBOH) would never do such a thing.
So his lawyers are arguing that Moo just lost his head?
Umm, no, I think it was his wife who lost hers.
Unfortunately the Vince Li case in Canada does not bode well for this one. Mr Li used this defense and got off scot free after he randomly beheaded a fellow on a greyhound bus, ritually mutilated the body, even consuming some of the entrails, and otherwise terrorised the other passengers for hours. A few months of treatment, no jail term, and he's on his way back into society. If Vince can get this without playing the muslim card, imagine what Moo can doo.
When the killer is unknown, most murders are solved by way of statistical probabilities. That's what had LAPD going to OJ's house and jumping over the fence.
The statistical probability ~ and empirical certainty ~ in this case is that Muzzammil killed and decapitated his wife in a typical Muslim "honor" killing. And now he's acting like a typical Muslim "man", blaming everyone else.
Sorry, a "Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad" is not gonna get you off "Mo". You cut off her head and you're going to jail (at least) for it. Deal with it, plead guilty and stop wasting the court's time.
I know, I know. It'll never happen as I'm sure Mo, a good muslim, doesn't even know what all this stink is about. After all she was just a woman. Now, if he had beheaded a neighbor's goat, oh my, then the sparks would indeed fly.
"...what an utterley dismal Satanic creed Islam is.
That guy isn't getting out any time soon...he's in a criminal psychiatric jail. Don't think for a moment that the family (and the rest of us) are going to forget and allow them to release him.
As for this muslim beheader, what undaunted says is exactly right...now he's blaming everything but himself, as usual.
"Officers then found 37-year-old Aasiya Hassan's stabbed and decapitated body inside the Muslim-oriented television station the couple had founded a few years earlier to counter negative media portrayals of Muslims...."
Talk about the height of irony! Way to go on CONFIRMING negative media portrayals of Muslims.
"Don't you think that's just a little tooo coincidental?"
Sure is, Duh_Swami ...and it certainly is possible. Jeez, makes me cringe about the personal lives of other scum posters. My gosh ...
'Officers then found 37-year-old Aasiya Hassan's stabbed and decapitated body inside the Muslim-oriented television station the couple had founded a few years earlier to counter negative media portrayals of Muslims...."
ALMOST certainly the shows message hasn't worked...
I find that picture just compellingly haunting.
The killer and his victim, together, smiling...
This was an attractive woman who could surely have caught the attention of any number of men, infidels included. My guess is that that reality eventuated in her divorce-filing and his subsequent loss of self-control--not a strong-suit anyway for muslim men!
And then, the ironic twist; the happy couple, founders of "Bridges TV," dedicated to countering negative media portrayals of muslims. Killer & victim of muslim rage.
Negative media portrayals vindicated!
A very pretty lady; I can't imagine her without her he...well, you know, I wouldn't want to see any "after" photos thanks...
The guy confessed. Police found the murder weapon. It happened at the couple's TV station, right after he visited their house and tried to break in after she got the restraining order served on him, if I remember correctly. All the whining in the world and buyer's remorse for having spilled the beans will not save this guy.
I find that picture just compellingly haunting.

These people look like a typical nice Indian couple. Just like many of my friends and relatives. Guy looks like the men I chit chat with discuss the most current issues over beer and snack foods. Lady looks like a nice career woman juggling housework and kids.
Unfortunately this isn't the case. The couples are Muslim. (I don't bring up the Porkiestan angle because without Islam their would be no need for Porkiestan.) They are infected with the deadly disease of Islam. A disease that affects the minds of these people, turning it into mush. Members of the deadly death cult. The more Islamic they get, the more dangerous they become. The truly Islamic sees death as a solution and as a ticket to their paradise.
Yea, nice looking couple, too bad they weren't anything else except Muslims.
@ Archimedes2:
Re the Vince Li Greyhound bus beheading, Li is now confined to a secure psychiatric facility and under the law can be held indefinitely, for the rest of his life if necessary. He is not out wandering the streets as your posting suggests.
Desidude, I think you hit on it there. They LOOK so normal, don't they? Like folks you'd see every day in the roles you suggested. But islam ruined their lives. Like it ruins everything it touches...
"the Muslim-oriented television station the couple had founded a few years earlier to counter negative media portrayals of Muslims...."
How'd that work out for them?
"...only one religion directs its followers to "strike at the necks" of unbelievers (Qur'an 47:4) -- but how "Islamophobic" of me to mention that, since Aasiya Hassan wasn't an unbeliever!"--Robert
When a Muslim is killed by another Muslim, we need to consider the possibility that the killer may have perceived the victim to be an unbeliever or to have in some way violated Islam to the point of having become an apostate. It's clear enough that Muzzammil thinks his former wife did or said something wrong. There are many, many things that one can say or do wrong in Islam, and some of these expressions or acts are punished with death, either by the Islamic authorities or by vigilantes granted impunity.
