BBC NEWS | World | Americas | US Muslim TV boss 'beheaded wife'

Both Mr Hassan and his wife worked at Bridges TV, a station aimed at countering stereotypes of Muslims.

Is there any chance he did it on a grainy camcorder and made a demand first?

Well I would say so, yes.

He runs a TV network aimed at countering stereotypes that Muslims face, one of which is that they like the "beheading" as a prefered choice of murder. The second would be that they kill their women if they do not obey them.

You will remember the case of the guy in Stockport not too long ago that killed his wife and kids because she divorced him.

Now i'm not saying that I believe these stereotypes, but the OP was referring to the irony of the situation. This guy did not favours to his fellow Muslims by committing this crime.

What we have to remember is that honour killings among people from that part of the world still happen, I suppose its their culture to some degree

Maybe shooting her would have been a better idea

Some non Muslims have been known to kill their wives in all sorts of ways-beheading too I should not wonder! And some Muslims will have used all sorts of methods too I bet!

That is so perspicacious of you!

Did it not occur to you that I might have said that for a positive reason?

If he didnt follow islam, do you think he would have beheaded his wife, or maybe just divorced her?

Islam promotes honour killings, and there is no honour in killing a woman for such a reason as this!

Lol I think the governments ham fisted crusade to protect muslims feelings on their behalf has totally backfired.
