A family of Christians who fled persecution in Egypt ran into a bloody nightmare in Jersey City - where the husband, wife and their two daughters were found knifed to death in their home yesterday.
The bodies of Hossam Armanious, 46, his wife, Amal Garas, and their two youg daughters - Sylvia, 15, and Monica, 8 - were found gagged with their throats slit at 4 a.m. yesterday inside the green, two-story, wood-frame home they moved into five years ago.
Investigators were struggling to figure out who could have slaughtered the religiously devout family.
Jersey City Police Chief Robert Troy Said police are leaning toward the suspects being at least an aquaintance, after finding no sign of break-in.
"I don't believe it was random," he said. "They probably knew their killers."
'snip'
Rafique Iscandar, 51, who described himself as Armanious' best friend, said his pal also came (to America) because of the pressure of being Christian in the Muslim Egypt.
"They were afraid there," Iscandar said. "They are under siege by the government. We lived in fear."

Copts are the oldest Christians! It is possible that this particular family converted, but more likely they come from a longer line of Christians than you and I.
