"Religion not a factor in wife beheading, judge rules," from Associated Press, March 5:
[...] Muzzammil "Mo" Hassan is tentatively scheduled to stand trial later this month for the death of his wife, Aasiyah Hassan, last year....
Hassan's attorney plans a defense that includes claims that Hassan was abused by his wife and emotionally out of control. But prosecutors are fighting the use of a psychiatric defense.
The Pakistan-born Hassans started Bridges TV in 2004, in part to dispel negative Muslim stereotypes....
Whoops!

Note: "The Pakistan-born Hassans started Bridges TV in 2004, in part to dispel negative Muslim stereotypes...." ha ha ha! This should be plastered on Billboards across America - may wake up the sympathizers of Islam, before it is too late! BeeSting
Well, there are moderates and there are moderates.
Of course murder is murder, but how did this judge reach such a conclusion, was it a politically correct conclusion so as not to offend Muslims? I would sure like to read how this judge managed such an explanation on this beheading.
I wouldn't be surprised if he sought the view of a local cleric or Iman on the matter. We remember how are last President and Secretary of state bought into the great myth that Islam is a religion of peace.
"Why, Christians behead their wives by the dozen every year!"
I love your sense humour, Robert. And Marisol's, too.
This moral equivalence has got to go. I read an article in this week's Jewish Tribune that said the real reason for this type of decision is fear and I think that's correct. Peel away the politically correct B.S. and you'll find fear.
If the Islamists and leftists are able to spread so much fear now, what will happen when their numbers increase?
I am grateful that more and more people are waking up -- thanks to sites such as Jihad Watch -- and speaking up despite the fear.
It's a conscious decision that we have to make: to speak up now while we can or face a future when the cost of speaking up is too great.
Thanks again to everyone at Jihad Watch.
