Marcia Pappas on Sins of Omission

Join Paulie Abeles of Real Democrats for a weekly call-in show “Sins of Omission”--- aimed at giving listeners insight into the topics of the day beyond the nightly news.

Each week the show features interviews with newsmakers and an opportunity in the second half of the program for listeners to call in and ask questions. On February 12, 2009, in Buffalo, NY, 44-year-old Muzzamil Hassan, a prominent Muslim businessman, was arrested for having allegedly beheaded his wife, thirty-seven year-old Aasiya Z. Hassan. What was Aasiya’s crime? Apparently, days before Aasiya had served Muzzamil with divorce papers. Join “Sins of Omission” on TONIGHT! — February 23rd at 9 pm EST — as we talk with Marcia Pappas, President of NOW (New York State) about the role of culture and religion in violence against women.
