so let's quit pretending the Aasiya Hassan murder is anything other than murder. It doesn't matter if she had been shot, stabbed, poisoned, run over by a car, strangled, beaten, or beheaded, she was murdered, and by a violent, estranged husband.
Sure, beheading is a bit unusual, but I think a more important factor in this sensational case is the irony of it all. Muzzamil Hassan owned a television station promoting tolerance and understanding of Muslims and countering stereotypes of Muslims. I mean, come on, the irony is more the reason the murder has been sensationalized than the manner of it.
