Police say an upstate New York television executive who sought to improve the image of Muslims in the media beheaded his wife after she filed for divorce.

Muzzammil Hassan (moo-ZAHM'-mel HAH'-sahn) is charged with murdering his wife, Aasiya (AH'-see-ya) Hassan. Police say she had an order of protection against her husband and he had been kicked out of the house they shared in Orchard Park, near Buffalo.

They accuse the 44-year-old Hassan of cutting off his wife's head at the TV station where he launched his Bridges TV network in 2004. In an AP interview, he said he hoped the network would balance negative portrayals of Muslims following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Hassan surrendered at the police station after his wife's death.

and yet people are still saying Muslims aren’t bad people. WAKE UP AMERICA this is what our country is going to, illegals and foreigners moving here and still living by their own beliefs, and a dollar will get you ten that when it goes to court his lawyer will preach but this is his religion, well in my opinion you live on american soul speak english and forget your countries belief’s because you now live in the USA. I am sick and tired of people spouting give illegals or foreigners this or that, when I a US CITIZEN have to beg the govt. to give me what is due me or my family.
