Love, Sharia style

Muzzammil Hassan and his wife Aasiya are a Muslim-American success story. They came here from Pakistan 25 years ago and settled in Orchard Park, Ny, a suburb of Buffalo. They soon became influential members in the thriving Muslim community of Buffalo. Mr. Hassan was a successful banker until 2004, when at the behest of his wife he started a television station designed to combat the negative perceptions some Americans have of Muslims. The tv station has been a relative success and things have been going well for the couple, at least professionally. Unfortunately, their perfect romance would not last forever. Mrs. Hassan eventually came to realize she no longer loved her husband and recently made the painful decision to file for divorce. Then, predictably, things got all beheady.
