It never ceases to amaze me that men kill women who try to leave them. This is another sad case and a horrible way to die. Beheadings are not typical means of death in the US – stabbing/shooting is more prevalent. However, in Pakistan, where they are from, beheading is more typical. This man will hopefully be found guilty and punished to the full extent of the law. It makes me sick that he is so selfish, that in his own rage, he left his 2 very young children without a Mom and with a Dad who is currently in jail. Hopefully, they don’t ship the kids off to Pakistan – these kids will suffer more – first losing parents, then losing the only home they have known. Sick.

This is very most challenging; in fact challenge is not the word; it is very difficult to express or what to say, really this is one of the very difficult moments of our lifetime to have this happening
I just don’t have any words to say since I am truly at a loss of words completely. I sincerely hope my perspective is understood for why I am unable to express any words
I am overcome by profound sadness and experience grief and lament with a sense of extreme sorrow
Sometimes, I wonder where is Humanity heading? How could this ever happen? How could these things ever happen?
All our sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with the Family and Children of Aasiya Zubair
May God give them the strength to face this challenging time with courage; Peace
With extreme sadness and distress;
Vashi

Nope, nothing wrong with Islamic culture. Nooo. Everything is just fine and dandy.

This has nothing to do with the Islamic culture. This is about Domestic Violence which spans across all cultures, race, ethnicities and religions. So many women are a victim to abuse everyday and it is not because of what religion they are or where they are from. Violence against women is prevalent everywhere and is an issue that the world needs to open up to and take care of.. starting with our local communities.

This has everything to do with Islamic culture, no other culture punishes there women by beheading, come on people, lets be real, yes theres violence against women all over the world, but none to this degree like in the Islamic culture.

It has nothing to do with islamic culture….. whether you are stabbed, shot, beheaded, mauled etc etc… at the end of the day you have suffered and died at the hands of a domestic partner.
And such violence happens every where including the good ole US of A.

Oney P,
I totally agree with you. This has EVERYTHING to do with Islamic culture. Around here, I haven’t heard of any beheadings. (USA) This asshole is stuck is some sick time warp. I woke up this morning at 3:10am and I swear I thought about the way Aasiya was brutally murdered and was just PISSED. At 3am in the morning I’m thinking about this!! I mean, the nerve of this guy. I seriously hope they give him the death penality. God bless you beautiful Aasiya. You will be missed.

I am sorry to hear that this murder is being related to a religion,this man is not even worth being called a human ,Aasiya was killed how ,why does this have anything to do with Islam .I dont know why the world has the image that women are not treated proper in Islam ,myself being a female raised in a muslim country got all the respect any women would get in any religion of this world .These insane men have no religion ,if they knew the true meaning of islam they would have not even thought of doing such a brutal act.May God bless Aasiya and her family .

Aasiya’s muirder has nothing to do with Islam.The kind of person Muzzamil was, I can expect this from him.He was not even a practising muslim, he was just born in a muslim home.He has been abusing her since a very long time.
Everyone kept telling Aasiya to leave this monster but she was too scared of him and finally when she did he killed her.
I hope and pray that he is punished in this world and the world there after.
Aasiya, comes from a very decent, educated and civilized family.She herself was a gem of a person.Her kids and her step kids adored her.

Nothing to do with Islam? Then why does the Koran advocate beating women who may be considered “out of line?” Why do Muslim clerics advocate abuse toward women? Why are “honor killings” accepted by Muslims throughout the world? And WHY, I ask WHY, don’t those of you who are Muslims stand up and denounce this as morally wrong and unacceptable, stand up for equality for women, and denounce those in your religion who defend this practice, rather than trying to pass this off as simply “domestic violence?” No, the rational people in the world recognize that this, in fact, is evil, and is rooted in a partriarcal religion that does not value equal rights, does not value its women except as possessions, and does not respect the sactity of human life.

Susan, What makes you think that Muslims don’t denounce this? Do you, as whatever religion and/or race you classify yourself as denouncewhen men who classify themselves as the same, engage in gruesome conduct? My guess it that you denounce it but you are not on TV justifying your culture/race/religion.
The man who killed Aassiya had issues that were not guided by Islamic law or culture. There are psychopathic men in all cultures. He should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. I am a Muslim woman married to a Muslim man who respects me more than I have seen any man respect a woman, Muslim or non-Muslim.
Muslim women (following “Islamic Culture”) in the US that I know experience as much equality as any American woman. Those who know the religion know that it was actually the first to give rights to women….MANY, MANY years before the US ever did. My guess is that those with the view that women don’t have equal rights are those that have never studied the religion from credible sources…and I am speaking about non-Muslims with this view and those Muslims who blindly follow so-called Muslim “scholars” who preach this.
I understand your and everyone else’s comments denouncing Islam because your view of Islam must be so skewed because I’m sure much of it comes from media. I just hope that one day you can meet American Muslim family that you can get to know and see that it’s the leadership that is flawed not the religion. There are millions of Muslims all around the world practicing Islam in peace, doing good for their communities, and have loving families. Unfortunately, we are not the ones making the evening news.

Susan,
I agree with you. I mean, are we the only ones who see what goes on in this culture. I never said RELIGION had anything to do with Aasya’s murder. It’s the CULTURE. And the facts are: Islamic men can beat or kill their wives, it is their right. They can have more than one wife, it is their right. They STILL perform PUBLIC beheadings, by law it is their right. Depending on the crime, they can chop off your arm, you could lose an eye, etc……Women are not to show skin and are required to wear the “aabayya” which means, “things that are not to be shown”, or something similar to that. Look, I don’t have my book at my fingertips, but I have read up on this culture. If he had beheaded her in his country, there would be NO punishment. No one is “denouncing” Islam, were just stating the facts.
God bless you all.

Reema,
I agree with you also. I have a few Islamic friends who are WONDERFUL people. Of course there are bad apples in EVERY race.

Shauncey,
I appreciate your acknowledgement of the difference between culture and religion. However, the use of “Islamic” in reference to cultural flaws that you are referring doesn’t make sense. If beheading is acceptable in “Islamic Culture”, the mosques and the Muslims in the US would be accepting of beheadings. No one I know in the US, (I know there may be exceptions), accept Aasiya’s murder as anything but a horrendous act from a sick, sick human being who does nothing be defame Islam. I assert that if there are nations that would allow the beheading without punishment, the people as a whole do not support it. So, again, it really is not truely accepted in any culture. It is poor leadership.
You refer to Muslim men being able to marry multiple wives. Yes, it is done and yes, it happened during the times of Muhammed. But, it must be understood in the context of history. At the time there was a severe shortage of men. Now people are taking advantage of that historical practice.
As for men being allowed to beat their wives, Islam DOES NOT give men that right. When people do it, I reiterate it is specific to either those involved and/or national culture NOT “Islamic culture”
As for not women not showing “things that are not to be shown.” That’s a form of respect for women. We are not meant to be sex objects that happens so often. Again, this expectation has been taken advantage of by leadership in some countries. But in most cases, women decide themselves what parts of themselves “should not be shown” I have Muslim friends who show nothing but their hands and face (completely by their own choice, sometimes even against their husband’s preference) and I have friends that dress like any other American woman who shows some modesty. In all cases, it’s the woman’s choice.
I appreciate that you believe that you are not denouncing Islam but the fact that there is discussion on this really does denounce Islam. But I don’t blame you….I blame Muzzammill Hassan and all those other people who proclaim themselves as Muslims and act in unIslamic ways. They are to blame.
All I ask is that you listen to those wonderful Muslims you know and try to remember that are probably the rule not the exception.

a very good friend of mine called me and blasted me with this humongous shock that our good ol friend aasia zubair has gone thru this ugliest possible incident…..my ears cudnt believe it. i was just unable to register the fact that even at this day n age and specially in a country like USA an incident of such hideosity cud happen. she was an extremely kind polite n sweet person. I very clearly remember wen about 9 yrs back this same friend called n informed me about her brutal car accident where she managed to dodge death n had literally tasted it but being the super brave girl she got out of it after several surgeries…..later wenever anyone mentioned this accident, she use to laugh about it saying it just wasnt my time. We use to learn horse riding together, living in karachi pakistan…we (the riding few) even attended her wedding here…she was an absolute gem of a person…… may god bless her soul…..and take care of her children!!!!
she was a graduate from indus valley school of arts, a very well recognised institution based in karachi pakistan.
i am a muslim man, 35 yrs of age, born raised studied lived throughout in pakistan. married to a muslim woman whom i love and respect as dearly as any normal human being wud, may of any religion or culture. We both run our seperate businesses n enjoying every bit of our lives together giving each other the respect n love we both deserve.
jenna, john, susan,shauncey, oney and everyone, i very humbly wud like to request u to pls do not tag this frightful, heinous crime as a religious or cultural act. This is an atrocious crime that can only be done by someone who is psychologically not wel or simply have a devil within, or who is just not even a human being. Every culture, religion or race can have such lunatics but nothing in this world wud neither allow nor give protection to such crimes or criminals
such a person shud get the worst of punishments wherever in this world he may be, whatever religion he belongs to or culture he represents. there is nothing as honor killing in islam, it neither encourages nor promotes taking a human’s life, instead it pronounces it as one of the biggest crime a human being can commit. we shud not only follow wat we r being told thru various means of media, if something really bothersome comes in front of us, being a human being,we r bound to do a bit of research before forming an opinion.
Everyone in pakistan (ppl who didnt even know Aasia) is not only shocked to hear this news but also fully condemn it and praying for the worst of punishments for that animal called Hassan.
while i was reading this news i also went thru another one, in which some Richard homan raped his girlfriends 3 months old son!!!!!!!!!?????!!!!!! …….again a morbid act, which only a soul-less person with a gruesome mind can perform. we as normal ppl shud only anathematize such criminals intead of labeling them as per religion race and culture and shud expect the worst of the worst of punishments for such delinquents (atleast in the law abiding societies), so tht the society we live in gets a bit more clean n liveable for our children and fellow beings
may god bless my friends soul!

shiraz,
I’m so sorry that you lost your friend to such a brutal crime. I will keep you, as I will her family and friends, in my prayers. God bless.
Aasiya’s murder has kept me up at night. I can’t even wrap my mind around how her family is trying to cope. So sad. I wonder if she had children, and if so, who is caring for them??

simple, black majic was done on this family for years. i nkow because there are groups of people who get hired to make people do shocking actions… then if they can they will get some trained person within to hypnotize men like muzamil who do not practise religion. believe it

Thanx Shiraz for writing correct things regarding my sister. He has still so much guts to tell lies about Aasiya. She was really a gem of person. He told my husband that hes going to kill her when she was visiting Capetown last year. But she was very afraid of him thats why went back. I guess after some time of physically & mentally abused by husbands these girls starting believing their husbands. I guess shes more in peace as every single day he use to torture her. I can write a book on his abuse. The best thing was that his whole family was also involved in his abuse. They knew very well how he use to torture my sister. But i hope now girls must learn a lesson from her & if they see that husbands are not behaving them selves Please leave them instead being killed by these monsters.

this was once written by my sister Aasiya Z. Hassan. This was the person whom she was married to:
I am scared of him. He repeatedly has warned me
“If you ever leave me i will make you cry for the rest of your life as you have never cried before”
What if he harms my Dano or Rania to make me suffer like he tried to kill us on the highway last Oct, or like the 100′s of times he has hit me or pushed me of on the steps. I am scared and concerened. He has killed 2 of my pregnancies i cannot afford more losses.
I have no idea who to go for help.
He lies about all the issues. I know i am not crazy when i say he hits me at times till i get bruised. I have pictures to show for, he claims they are scuffels.
He claims i go to CPS for small issues. I have never gone to them, They have come to me and yes for once last december in my life i talked and he has made me pay for it dearly so far.
Nothing stops him. Whislt having a non offensive order of protection i have been bruised and bled profusely at least 3-4 times. My belongings and room wrecked 5 times. I have no idea what to do.
If i say or do something he also reacts nastily towards Sonia by trying to tell people how horrible a daughter she is when that child has more goodness then a lot of people i know.
He is scary. He talks nicely to people only when he wants something which might be ranging from his cup of tea or to not be lonely. The more he is mad at me and puts me in isolation the nicer he gets towards Shazad and then keeps saying that he has Shadoo’s love.
Which is good for him but why make it sound like i would be upset over it. This pettiness and immaturity makes me want to run away from him.
His selfishness makes me want to not be with him.
This sense of being used and ridculed by him, makes me want to go away from him. Cleaning up his messes make me want to run of. Publicly being demeaned by him, his constant emphasis that i am socially inapt bothers me hugely. I feel that he wants to make me into what he thinks i should be.
Please people learn something from her. Do not take any ones nonsence. Please!
