He got people's blood boiling way too much, and it was a little too real for some of us. ("It's Still Real To Me Dammit" in regards of 9/11 is damn right) and Hassan probably would have gotten hurt by one of the fans if he kept it up.....Having them, and these ski-mask wearing dudes going out and beating up on The Undertaker or whoever it was on Smackdown, was too much. They needed to drop the angle, and I'm glad they did. Cause like or or not, WWE WAS cashing in on 9/11, and that ain't cool. Real life is not a game or an angle. Actual lives have been/are being lost over that nonsense, and feelings were being beyond hurt when Muhammad Hassan did his thing, and you don't play "pretend" with stuff like that. That's a no no.
I don't expect some of the more immature posters to get that. So go ahead and neg me if you must for this rant and for not liking that character some of you liked a little too much. Seriously, most people who marked for that guy are either non-American, or just Americans who hate their own country, or you're just immature little kids who are still in "kid world" where everything is all a game. And you see violence in real life the same way you see violence on TV, or in movies, or are your video games.
....Personally, I think Muhammad Hassan's last apperance should have been like the final scene from Death Proof....with the roles of hero belonging to Hulk Hogan, Sgt. Slaughter, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, a cameo by bad-ass American Undertaker, Kurt Angle, and hell....throw the The Patriot Del Wilks and American Express Lex Luger in there too!
Now THAT would be probably one of the greatest mark-out moments for me....ever.

Dude, your argument is so lame. You have to understand [Muhammad]Hassan and [Khosrow] Daivari are/were not even real Muslims. Hassan is originally from Italy, and the only (RETARDED) reason that he was taken off TV is because a bunch of people in the arab and/or muslim community of Dearborn (near Detroit) decided to bitch to UPN. Wah, wah fuckin' wah! Life isn't always fair.
Now, let's examine their argument that Hassan and Daivari portrayed a negative stereotype of Muslims, as every one of them being extremists who hate all Americans and only want to blow them all up or maim them in some other way. Nothing could be further from the truth. They portrayed
only the extremist type Muslims who would be, or do serve someone like Bin Laden or Al'Qaeda or whatever, but even then none of it was real.
See, the problem is not with the character, it's that you percieved him as how I described him in the last paragraph. If you couldn't realize that it was only a gimmick, then instead of getting all pissed off, why didn't you turn the TV off or find something else to watch during such time as he was on camera. It's a simple solution that you couldn't find because you chose ignorance over seeing the big picture.
