Exec of Muslim TV station found guilty of beheading wife

The founder of a Muslim-oriented New York television station was convicted Monday of beheading his wife in 2009 in the studio the couple had opened to counter negative stereotypes of Muslims after the Sept.

On the same day, text messages between Hassan and his wife from the date of the murder were released as evidence.[31] In a unusual turn, Hassan asked to represent himself.

The Hassans started the Bridges TV network in 2004, saying they wanted to counter negative stereotypes and media portrayals of Muslims in a post-9/11 world and provide programming for the growing Muslim-American population.

Immediately after Aasiya Hassan's death, the manner in which she died prompted speculation her death was an honor killing.

Muzzammil "Mo" Hassan never denied that he killed Aasiya Hassan inside the suburban Buffalo station the couple established to promote cultural understanding.
