Muzzammil Syed Hassan, also known as Mo Steve Hassan, (born May 26, 1964) is a Pakistani-American, and former CEO of Bridges TV.〔(Did we ever bother to know Muzzammil? ) Al-Arabiya News Channel, February 19, 2009〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nysdocslookup.docs.state.ny.us/ )〕 Bridge TV was the first American Muslim television network broadcast in English.〔(News aljazeerah.info: First American Muslim Television Channel Announced by Bridges Network )〕〔(Press Release: Bridges TV Debuts American Muslim Television Network in English Nationwide on November 30, 2004 )〕〔(CNN: Founder of Islamic TV station accused of beheading wife (February 16, 2009) )〕 He resigned from the position in February 2009.〔 〕 On February 7, 2011, Hassan was found guilty of second degree murder for beheading his wife of eight years, Aasiya Zubair.〔(New York Times, February 17, 2009 )〕 ==Professional life== Muzzammil Hassan came to the United States from Pakistan at age 17,〔(''Voice of America'':Muslims in America Reach Out (16 November 2004) )〕 eventually graduating ''magna cum laude'' with an MBA from the William E. Simon Graduate School of Business Administration at the University of Rochester in 1996.〔(Huffington Post, February 17, 2009 )〕 He went on to become a successful banker in Buffalo, New York.〔 In 2004, his wife Aasiya prompted him to develop "an American Muslim media where her kids could grow up feeling really strong about their identity as an American Muslim."〔(Beheaded woman's sister: I might have heard deadly confrontation ) CNN, February 17, 2009〕 Hassan expressed belief that some moderate Muslims could not identify with the extreme stereotypes often depicted in Hollywood productions and said that such Muslims "think they are not accurately portrayed" and that "Bridges TV gives American Muslims a voice and will depict them in everyday, real life situations."〔 "Every day on television we are barraged by stories of a 'Muslim extremist, militant, terrorist, or insurgent,'" Hassan said in the 2004 release. "But the stories that are missing are the countless stories of Muslim tolerance, progress, diversity, service and excellence that Bridges TV hopes to tell." The Hassans received an award for this effort from the Council on American-Islamic Relations in 2007.〔( CAIR-PA First Annual Banquet )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Muzzammil Hassan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
