In 2004 Muzzammil Hassan founded a TV station to combat negative stereotyping of Muslims. In 2009 Muzzammil Hassan beheads his wife.

Prominent Orchard Park man charged with beheading his wife
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.
Police identified the victim as Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37. Detectives have charged her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder.
"He came to the police station at 6:20 p.m. 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.
"Obviously, this is the worst form of domestic violence possible," Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said today.
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 ," Benz said.
Muzzammil Hassan was arraigned before Village Justice Deborah Chimes and sent to the Erie County Holding Center.

***Christians do commit acts of violence toward their family members as do members of all faiths.
Beheading women, abject slavery, female genital mutilation, female degradation are all things Muslims do. Again, I'd direct you toward google. I can live without that, and don't have cultural tolerance for it.
I would direct you here with great caution, the images and descriptions are very graphic - http://www.middle-east-info.org/gateway/genocide/index.htm
I'd also add that it appears beheading is being taken up by Mexican drug cartels. So beheading isn't the exclusive behavior of Muslims.
I don't believe it is possible for me to incorporate much of the above link without violating IV terms of service.
Less graphic, but also a discussion of the Muslim slave trade can be found here - http://www.warriorsfortruth.com/slavery-sudan-islamic-fundamentalists.html
The claim on the above link is as follows for a Muslim country (I can live without this form of cultural diversity thank you):
Form of Abuse Percentage
Forced Labor without Pay 96.9%
Forced Conversion to Islam 25.8%
Frequent Beatings 96.9%
Racial Insults (i.e., Arabic terms for "slave", bleeped out, etc.) 97.9%
Rape 79.3%
Gang-rape 77.0%
Female Genital Mutilation 40.2%
Sopal,
Santa does not kill. Someone deranged dressed as Santa and killed. The situation with respect to beheading is different for Muslims. It is part of their culture and heritage. It is a cultural diversity I can live without, though many here seem supportive of it much to my surprise.
In another link I provided information about Muslim culture, slavery and other nasty habits. I have no tolerance for murder, and no tolerance for beheading, slavery, female genital mutilation, female degradation, and other things which are sadly more common in Muslim countries. I hope Muslim culture evolves over time. I know Christian culture has.
Gee...pops to mind...Scott Peterson killing his very pregnant wife & dumping her in the water.
Maybe you missed my point.
And shooting and stabbing
