Muslim beheading cover-up in New York?
Why didn’t this make national headlines?
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The founder of a U.S. Muslim television network has been arrested and charged with murdering his wife by beheading her, the network’s Web site and local media reported.
Muzzammil Hassan, founder and CEO of Buffalo, N.Y.-based Bridges TV which launched in 2004 with a mission to show Muslims in a more positive light, was charged after reporting the death of his wife, Aasiya Hassan, 37, on Thursday night.
After Hassan, 44, told police his wife was at the Bridges TV offices, in the village of Orchard Park, they found her body there, beheaded, The Buffalo News reported.
Authorities said Aasiya Hassan, with whom Hassan had two children, had recently filed for divorce and had an order of protection mandating that he leave their home as of February 6.
He was being held in a county detention centre charged with second-degree murder.

Maybe I should have been more clear why didn’t the media turn this story into the O.J. trial, or the Cardinal B. story? A few clips and forget about it…
It did make national news. I saw it last night.

If he was a rich, white businessman, it would have been on MSNBC for 6 days straight.

Of course it made national headlines. How about the New York Times? Washington Post? or CNN? or perhaps CBS? NBC? No? Which headlines would you prefer.

It’s a local murder case, why would it make national news. People are killed every day-most not as brutally- but they are still murdered. Just because it is a prominent person doesn’t make it national news.

It got a little bit of play the other day when it happened. What I want to know is why wasn’t the guy charged with a hate crime? Isn’t chopping someone’s head off some pretty solid evidence of hate?

Why? This is not fair! WHy would ANYONE kill their wife?!?!?!? Its against EVERY religion to kill someone like that! Why can’t the violence stop?
more stereotypes against us! im get upset seeing that these people that say they are great Muslims do these things. No human is perfect, but when u kill someone, u cross the line!!!!!

The media is almost as in love with islamofascists as they are with Obama.
