Some days you stare for hours at the news sites praying to god for something relevant to put in a blog, and preferably something funny while we're at it. Other days you move the mouse over the RSS headline feed and something just jumps out at you.
Today is one of the latter days but I don't think it qualifies as particularly amusing. I bet the wife didn't think so, anyway. Take a look at this web page from the BBC News.
The BBC News page includes these quotes:-
BUT if we read on ....
Looks to me like he wasn't up for the stigma of a rebellious wife divorcing HIM for his violence towards her. Now how much more stereotypical could you get, I ask.

The founder of a US Muslim TV network has been charged over the beheading of his wife, media reports say. Muzzammil Hassan, 44, is accused of second degree murder of Aasiya Hassan, whose body was found last week at the TV station in New York state.
The BBC News page includes these quotes:-
Both Mr Hassan and his wife worked at Bridges TV, a satellite-distributed news and opinion TV station founded by Mr Hassan in 2004 aimed at countering stereotypes of Muslims".
BUT if we read on ....
Authorities said the couple had two children, aged four and six, and Mrs Hassan, 37, had recently filed for divorce after enduring incidents of domestic violence.

Amusingly, when he set up his TV station he said that its aim was to counter Muslim stereotypes

Except the BBC doesn't say what kind of extremism, so I'm left wondering.
After weighing all the evidence up, my guess is that it's those evil Methodist extremists who are causing all the trouble again.

It was his wifes idea to set the tv station up, at least it got the message across about moderate muslims

Where are all the protests from those left leaning women's pressure groups?. Poor woman, if they can do this to their own imagine what they could do to our girls, and yet our media brainwashes the girls (and boys) into believing they are all cuddly warm characters.
