Verizon Drops Muslim TV Channel Whose Owner Beheaded His General Manager

Bridges TV anchor Samatha Azzar

Verizon will drop the Muslim cable channel Bridges TV on March 14, almost a year to the day after the channel's owner was sentenced to life in prison for beheading his wife, who was also the station's general manager.

The murder occurred at Bridges TV's studio in 2009, six days after Aasiya Hassan told her abusive husband Muzzammil she was divorcing him. Muzzammil Hassan, the channel's founder, then lured his wife to the studio where he stabbed her 40 times and hacked off her head with a pair of hunting knives.

Verizon's decision to drop the channel is unrelated to Hassan's crime. The company told Metro:

"This programming has been discontinued due to very low viewership and the continued effort of Verizon to offer our customers the most popular channels while keeping our rates reasonable."

Bridges TV news director and anchor Samantha Azzar told Metro:

"Without Verizon, we will cease to exist. We won't be able to stay on... There will be no voice for local Muslim Americans to cover stories that are important to them."

Bridges TV's advertisers included Ford and American Islamic College.

The Daily News once noted:

Muzzammil Hassan founded Bridge TV in 2004. The American-Islamic station was designed to combat the negative stereotype of Muslims post-9/11.

Maybe they showed this one:

Come listen to a story ’bout a man named Ahmed
Poor Camel driver barely kept his family fed.
Then one day- he was shootin’ at some Jews
When up through the ground comes a bubblin’ ooze
Oil that is… Saudi soda.... Persian Perrier

Now the first thing ya know, Ahmed’s a millionaire
Kin folk said: Ahmed, Move away from there!
said: Californy is the place that you’d do fair
So the loaded up their camel and they moved to BelAir
swimmin pools…movie stars…...Jews....
The Bel Arabs!

Now don't lose your head over this!

Actually, it's a pretty good indicator of Verison's moral standards that this "channel" wasn't canceled the same day, ON THE SPOT!

Anywhere but Islam would consider this a horrific crime, but for Islam and their supporters, it's just another day.

DONT WORRY! The Muslim terrorist in Chief, Obama HUSSEIN will jump in and give this Muslim Channel Millions in U.S. Taxpayer Money to keep them afloat. Obama HUSSEIN will also require not only Verizon, but every other Cable Network in the U.S. to carry the trash as well.
We know HUSSEIN believes in Religious Freedom when it comes to the Muslim Mosque at Ground Zero, and apologizes for each KORAN burned, but screw the Catholics and other Christians! just as he and his cousin, Odinga, did in KENYA
when they didn’t win the Presidential Election! Is that what Obama HUSSEIN has planned for Us in the U.S. when he Looses on November 4, 2012????

Or, as it turned out, to reinforce it!
