Melissa McEwan, an angry, ugly, feminist man-hater wants to play the Blame Game in the case of Muzzammil Hassan — a prominent Muslim who beheaded his wife for having the audacity to seek a divorce.
NEW YORK (CNN) — The founder of an Islamic television station in upstate New York aimed at countering Muslim stereotypes has confessed to beheading his wife, authorities said.
He launched Bridges TV, billed as the first English-language cable channel targeting Muslims inside the United States, in 2004. At the time, Hassan said he hoped the network would balance negative portrayals of Muslims following the attacks of September 11, 2001.
(NOTE: Muzzammil — I think you might have done more to progress the views of Muslim stereotypes and negative portrayals by cutting your wife’s head off than anything you ever accomplished with your TV station)
Now…back to Ms. McEwan, who doesn’t think the fact that Hassan (hey, did you notice how much that almost sounds like Hussein…which happens to be the middle name of our current POTUS. Not that I’m trying to draw a relationship, I was just pointing it out) is Muslim has anything to do with him cutting his wife’s head off.
Because, you know, it’s just not the sort of thing Muslims are known to do.
So who/what does Ms. McEwan blame for the beheading death of Aasiya Hassan?
The real culprit is undeserved male privilege and the resulting second-class personhood of women.
Uh-huh. Step away from the crazy, Melissa. Step away from the crazy.
Typical idiot Liberal blathering — let’s not blame the guy who actually cut his wife’s head off. Let’s find some other evil “system” to blame. It’s the Liberal mantra — everybody is a victim.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to head outside and see if I can find where I left my “undeserved male privilege”. I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Let’s be fair – Islam is to blame, not just because cutting off heads is an uncommon practice, but because it perpetuates second-class “personhood” of women (oy, I hate the word “personhood” – is “humanity” not sufficient?!). Islam isn’t just violent. Even in its more benign manifestations, the oppression of women is celebrated and championed. It’s not as if there’s a lot of beheading of MEN who seek divorces.
There’s a lot wrong with McEwan’s blindness to the faults of Islamic culture and Islam as a religion, but she’s not totally off-base about the underlying sentiment that allows and encourages men like Hassan to behave and react like this.
Feminism & Islam is like Oil & Water.
For the most part, the concept of gender-equality is a Nineteenth and Twentieth Century invention.
Islam perpetuates a Seventh Century worldview. This applies to gender relations as well as to every other area of life.
Ask yourself, “What were the accepted norms concerning gender relations in 600 A.D.?” The answer to that question will tell you the accepted norms concerning gender relations in Islamic culture today.
“Undeserved male privilege” is a phrase that pretty much sums up Islamic culture. Unfortunately, Mr. Hassan apparently reveres the outdated “Islamic culture” over the culture of the country on which he thrived.
The words of a truly great man, Winston Churchill, once wrote a book called the River War. I have always found his, more than a century old, perspective of islam accurate.
That he most likely abused his wife, before murdering her, has been reported. I’m not surprised. That this man was culturally shaped to treat women badly, to require a restoration of his “honor” when she “dishonored” him, is a centuries old practice. Cutting someone’s head off, is a particularly gruesome act, and not what one typically associates with domestic violence, but of fundamentalist muslims, who most likely view his actions as justified.
Because of many factors, not the least being fear of getting their heads lopped off, but primarily of offending a fellow victim group (muslims), alleged feminists in this country have consistently, and persistently, refused to criticize islam for it’s atrocious treatment of women. It’s people like this McEwan chick, that aid and assist islam in continuing it’s maladaptive behavior.
Atlas Shrugs had an excellent(and long) piece on honor killings in the U.S., the other day.
Perhaps McEwan should visit Iran some day, and walk the street in her angry, feminist’s attire, and see what will happen. Maybe she should also watch how Saudi men behave at a department store display of women’s undergarments. Islam is seriously sexually retarded.
This guy may have called himself moderate but before he cut his poor wife’s head off, there was more than enough evidence that he was not. Of course, our wonderful msm couldn’t be bothered to report the truth about him at the time.
[...] murder of Aasiya Hassan, and the unhinged feminist reaction to her death, was discussed here, a few days [...]
What’s wrong with cutting someone’s head?
Not “what’s wrong about killing,” just “what’s wrong with cutting someone’s head.”
Anyway, they got a female president in Indonesia no.
By the way, Indonesia is Muslim.
Someone remind me again, where did young Obama grow up? That’s right in the Muslim land of Indonesia…
