(Newser) – The founder of a Muslim TV network in New York has been charged with beheading his wife in the midst of an acrimonious divorce. Muzzammil Hassan, 44, was busted last week after he told police his wife's body could be found at his Buffalo offices and confessed to her murder, reports CNN. Hassan had a history of domestic violence, according to cops. He launched his Bridges TV operation in 2004 to show Muslims in a positive light.

I'm an equal opportunity God hater. He's just much too violent for me.

These Muslims dudes need to take an anger management class asap! It is really hard to say that people are "singling out Muslims" in this article since this is terribly unique to male members of the Muslim faith. I mean how many American guys just chop their wife's head off and leave it on their desk? American men aren't honorable enough to publicly decapitate their women, they resort to more concealable methods.
