Buffalo is just a hotbed of activity in the last week. Apparently, the details are rather gruesome. Orchard Park police are investigating the beheading of Aasiya Z. Hassan after her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, an influential member of the local Muslim community, was charged with second-degree murder.

“He came to the police station at 6:20 p.m. [Thursday] and told us that she was dead,” Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz said late this morning. Muzzammil Hassan told police that his wife was at his business, Bridges TV, on Thorn Avenue in the village. Officers went to that location and discovered her body.

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. The killing apparently occurred some time late Thursday afternoon. Detectives still are looking for the murder weapon.

Authorities say Aasiya Hassan recently had filed for divorce from her husband. “She had an order of protection that had him out of the home as of Friday the 6th [of February],” Benz said. Source: Buffalo News

Another case of domestic violence gone horribly bad. The problem is that some of these Muslims are hellbent on asserting their so-called dominance over women. They will do anything to remind a woman of her place, in their eyes at least. This is heinous and I hope this scumbag will get the death penalty. In case Mr. Hassan hasn’t noticed, this is the United States of America, where women are treated with respect, and not on the streets of Middle Eastern countries where they are literally muzzled and are the property of their husbands. Rihanna and Juanita Bynum are not the only faces of domestic violence in this country. There are thousands of women in this country living in fear of the monsters they married or have a relationship with.

It is also safe to say that 99.9% of Christians would not behead their spouse or significant other. I am not going to generalize and say that all Muslims are evil, but it seems that there is a rogue element that keeps giving the religion a really bad name — from terrorists to wife beaters, child abusers and murderers. Funny, I can’t see how they could possibly justify such barbaric actions in the name of Allah.

Bishop Thomas Weeks III Looking for a New Wife after Divorce from Juanita Bynum

The saga continues with Juanita Bynum’s ex-husband “Bishop” Thomas Weeks III, head of Duluth-based Global Destiny International Ministries. Well, hat tip to Hicktown Press, where I first read that he wants a new wife to mend his broken heart. Okay folks, nothing is wrong with that, but how he is going about finding that wife is problematic, at best. He’s going to find this wife on his own reality show. Is this how God intended one to find a spouse or significant other? Women, watch out, this guy is toxic. He is one of the do-as-I-say but not-as-I-do kind of pastor.

He’s basically skipping the usual path to romance: chance meetings, singles mixers, social networking, speeding dating, fix-ups. Single women, I see trouble. Steer clear of this train wreck. Oh, but he is also seeking advice from his followers. Isn’t this the man who wrote books on how to love a woman?

He will be documenting his efforts to open his heart to love again in 10 streaming video “Webisodes” starting next Tuesday on his Web site http://www.bishopweeks.com. The idea came after Weeks was flooded with thousands of e-mails and letters from people offering advice about what to look for in his third wife. Some even offered to be his wife.

“There are some very adamant women,” says Weeks associate, Minister Guy Reeves of Global Destiny. “A lady from Belgium flew all the way here to meet him. She came to the campus. She wanted to be the next Mrs. Weeks like many others who have approached me about their strong desire to be Bishop Weeks’ wife.”

Weeks is opening his life to his followers so they can get a Christian perspective on dating and coping with the desire for intimacy. Aw geez, a human guinea pig!“What kind of advice would you give me about the new Mrs. Weeks?” he asks on a Web site promo of the episode.

“We will probably find in due time who is that perfect woman for me,” Weeks says. “This time I’m not going to limit it just to the local church … It’s a global ministry. We’ve got to have a global search.”

Weeks said that he is opening his life to his followers so they can get a Christian perspective on dating and coping with the desire for intimacy. Right! He’s trying to get publicity for his scheme, which will bring in some funds. Wasn’t he in dire financial straits? Again, woman, be very wary of a man who beats his wife. If he did it once, he’ll do it again. Let’s not forget that he is currently on probation for that attack. He was charged with aggravated assault as a first offender.
