A local beheading.

Orchard Park police are investigating a particularly gruesome killing, the beheading of a woman, after her husband -- an influential member of the local Muslim community -- reported her death to police Thursday. ... Detectives have charged her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder.

Muzzammil Hassan is the founder and chief executive officer of Bridges TV, which he launched in 2004, amid hopes that it would help portray Muslims in a more positive light.

I expect we will see throngs of muslims protesting in the streets over this man's dragging the religion's image through the mud. Well, maybe if it was a cartoon...

يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ (8) هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ (9)
8. They intend to put out the Light of Allah (i.e. the religion of Islam, this Qur'an, and Prophet Muhammad ) with their mouths. But Allah will complete His Light even though the disbelievers hate (it).

9. He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad ) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islamic Monotheism) to make it victorious over all (other) religions even though the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger Muhammed ) hate (it).

Last time we did that, you guys complained and told us to get out of the UK....

Anywho, as for this topic: he committed a grave sin. 2 grave sins in fact: Killed an innconet; killed his FREAKING WIFE!

 

[Pygoscelis]

What this man did was atrocious and a sin, but I don't understand how you can equate muslims not protesting at this as being double standards when compared to the level of outrage caused by a derogatory cartoon of the Prophet peace be upon him.

Apples & oranges.

Wow. Just wow. A cartoon is more horrible than a murder and beheading? Both speak negatively of the religion. One results in some ink on a page. The other results in a dead and headless woman.

^ an open letter, in response to the murder.

In conclusion, Allah says in the Qur’an “O my son! Establish regular prayer, enjoin what is just, and forbid what is wrong; and bear with patient constancy whatever betide thee; for this is firmness (of purpose) in (the conduct of) affairs” (31:17). Let us pray that Allah will help us to stand for what is right and leave what is evil and to promote healthy marriages and peaceful family environments. Let us work together to prevent domestic violence and abuse and especially, violence against women.

Two different things. No relationship.

The murder was a grave and serious crime and sin directed against one person by one person. It makes no difference what the man's faith is. That was not an issue of the crime. Would his faith have even been mentioned if they had been Christian, Jew, Agnostic, Atheist etc? Would it be seen as a reflection against any of those faiths or non-faiths? Why should it be seen as an insult against Islam?

Now the cartoon was a deliberate attack against all Muslims and Islam. It may not have been physically violent but it was hatred and pained as much as a physical attack. the protests against the cartoons were deeper then simple drawings, it was against complacency by the government that not only permitted but supported insults against a religious belief.

There is no point protesting something which the government is already against.

Please, just use your brain. Its obvious.

Anyway, this is very sad and hopefully who ever is guilty is brought to justice.

May Allah have mercy on the woman, ameen.

How can u equate the two incidents? One is a henious murder done by someone who happened to be a Muslim. Is he a first muslim who have done such crime? or will he be last? How image of Islam is deminished by any such crime? Will same apply for christianity, hinduism, and jewism?

And cartoons of the holy prophet were intended to insulting a religious figure, hence angry demonstrations worldwide. However some questions can be raised over the manner in which those demonstration were done, but thats a different topic altogether.

not even gonna bother reading the link but from what you have quoted- where is this related to islam? if a man murders his wife and men of all religions and cultures have done that, why do muslims now have to take the street condemning him?
why dont you condemn him as a human? this is a domestic violence case, not a muslim Vs non muslim case. Get a grip!

You're grinding your axe on the wrong stone.

There should be more people protesting against terrorism hiding behind Islam.

In cases like this, where you have one insanely violent idiot, you simply send him to prison.

This beheading was murder in a domestic situation. I could see the connection in beheading cases like Pearl and the recent beheading of the Polish man in Pakistan. But not in this one.

Like it or not, because it is a beheading. Beheadings have been associated with Islam in the public mind ever since the terrorists started doing them on TV. If muslims won't publicly dissassociate the guy from the religion, it only further embeds the idea.

Do you not see the irony?

I know. Imagine if he were French, to boot.

Yes.

Sadly that is true. People do associate what they read and see in the media and they do make judgements based upon that.

How short memories are and people have forgotten beheadings do not occur just among Muslims.

Yhe point being behadings are not exclusive to Muslims, I find it odd that the religion is not mentioned when it is committed by a non-Muslim

Do you not see the irony?

Yes, and i agree that as a Muslim I must speak out against that vile act. I also find it ironic that Christians are not asked to speak out against beheadings done by Christians.

Right now Beheadings and cutting off of hands has become quite popular by "Christian" drug dealers in Mexico. Why is it there is no uproar that drug dealing and beheadings are Christian beliefs? I know that is not true, those people do not represent Christianity, by why don't people understand that the work of mad men do not represent Islam.

That makes the perfect sense, makes things crystal clear.

The primary issue is the blanket of religion around the act of beheading. That doesn't appear to be the case here. The beheadings that occur in connection with terrorist groups and "jihad" doesn't and shouldn't reflect upon the bulk of Islam. The sad truth, however, is that those who produce the beheading videos and engage in that barbarity are so loud in proclaiming their pious devotion to Allah that it taints that reality.
