Don’t Stereotype Me!
Posted by Goo Man on February 18, 2009
Does anyone else see the irony in the fact that Muzzammil Hassan, a Muslim business man living outside Buffalo, NY, who created a TV Network aimed at combating stereotypes of Muslim people, beheaded his wife in an honor killing after being served divorce papers?
What stereotypes was his network created to fight again? I can see Hassan releasing a press statement to the effect of, “People, please, please. Islam is not a bronze age collection of violent customs, some of which designed to control the sexual behavior of women. I’m just a violent monster who killed his wife over his hurt feelings. This honor killing has nothing to do with Islam or the Muslim people. Please stop stereotyping us.”
