Prominent Orchard Park man charged with beheading his wife

Orchard Park police are investigating a particularly gruesome killing, the beheading of a woman, after her husband — an influential member of the local Muslim community — reported her death to police Thursday.
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.
Muzzammil Hassan is the founder and chief executive officer of Bridges TV, which he launched in 2004, amid hopes that it would help portray Muslims in a more positive light.
The killing apparently occurred some time late Thursday afternoon. Detectives still are looking for the murder weapon.
"Obviously, this is the worst form of domestic violence possible," Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said today.
Authorities say Aasiya Hassan recently had filed for divorce from her husband.
"She had an order of protection that had him out of the home as of Friday the 6th [of February]," Benz said.
Muzzammil Hassan was arraigned before Village Justice Deborah Chimes and sent to the Erie County Holding Center.

Just a glimpse of Islam in all its peaceful ways. Ask people in the UK about the Islamofacisists. 19 places in the Quran calls for violent jihad. They want to take over the US. Now on Hannity tonite a guest has shown video of some the 35 Islamic terrorist training camps here on our soil. They are coming at us from all angles..

35 of them??? This story should be out in full force to the American people. I see it's made Yahoo News and Drudge ran it last night. I'm surprised Yahoo had it actually. It's curious why, if Hannity can find these camps, why our government hasn't sent the troops in with guns blazing to wipe them out. WOT is not limited to overseas.....or is it?
