Ironic Story of the Year

Muzzammil Hassan, founder of Bridges TV, a project to promote a positive image of Islam, cut off his wife's head in their place of business. This happened in Western New York state. In the United States of America.

This item should be given an award for Most Ironic Story to Get No Press Coverage. The newspapers that did cover it danced around the whole "Islam and cutting heads off" thing. Mark Steyn gave us this newspaper clipping in his insightful treatment of this case:

An upstate TV exec who set up a channel promoting Muslims as peace-loving people was stressed about his failing business in the days before he allegedly chopped off his estranged wife's head, a friend of the couple said today.

C'mon guys, it's happened to all of us... Bad day at work, you slam your pickup door too hard and bust the glass out of the side window. The dog gets in your path to the front door and you give ol' Beauregard a boot. You're not purposely trying to hurt anyone or be mean. You're just upset about your financial situation, and there's your wife in the kitchen... You're in a bad mood, you lose it and accidentally chop here head off. It could happen to anybody, nothing newsworthy there...
