I am sure it was a mere accident Muzzammil Hassan mistook his beloved wife, Aasiya, for a block of cheese.

It's NOT an honor killing, by the way. Making an excuse for a brutal murder is a crock of shit.

No, It Wasn't an "Honor Killing,"

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.

A man who, with his wife, started a TV network to show Muslims in a positive light decided to do a Daniel Pearl on his wife.

It took place in Buffalo, New York, which doesn't need any more negative publicity:

Police identified the victim as Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37. Detectives have charged her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder.

"He came to the police station at 6:20 p.m. [Thursday] and told us that she was dead," Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz said late this morning.

Muzzammil Hassan told police that his wife was at his business, Bridges TV, on Thorn Avenue in the village. Officers went to that location and discovered her body.
