It's just a matter of time before the NJ police and FBI whitewash this. They'll announce it's a robbery, and close the file.

It's interesting that the Muslim clerics showed up for the funeral. Suppose they know something they aren't telling us?

I doubt it, and I hope not.

Robbers don't massacre whole families with knives.

Instead of saying, "I came to support them", how about speaking out about the Islamofascist butchers.

Will we be waiting in vain that those that are aware of who the killers are will come forward and notify the police in order to bring these killers to justice.
Or will the old standing Islamic protection collusion prevail?
One assumes and thinks these people came in order to live in freedom for themselves and others, or is it to kill infidels?

the Jersey City police have refused to say whether they believe the slayings were the result of religious hatred.<<<

The Jersey Police will NEVER say what it really is. And so the Riots and Jihads will begin on this soil, while the police and government ignores the threat that MUSLIMS bring to this Nation.

Theft appeared to be at least part of the motive: investigators said that only a penny remained in the house after the slayings and that Mr. Armanious's pockets and wallet had been emptied.

A penny? A PENNY?

That's the kind of detail that reeks of fiction, not fact.

The police would not confirm reports by Coptic Christians that Mr. Armanious had engaged in fiery debates about Christianity and Islam in an Internet chat room, which fueled rumors that the murders were a hate crime.

And then the NY Times frames the key issue in the most bland language possible.

Ethnic cleansing comes to America and it is not a "story".

This should have been AT LEAST as big as the Matthew Shepherd or James Byrd murders were.

...with some mourners jumping on top of cars, shoving each other and threatening to beat a Muslim cleric who was escorted to safety by the police...

And there in a nutshell is the difference between the Christians and the Muslims. They threatened... the Muslims just do it.

And, I'm not even addressing the issue of whether the cleric was there, innocently, to calm tensions or, on the contrary, to gloat--I haven't a clue either way.

The Manson "family" wanted their murders to resemble a "robbery" as well. They wanted to start a race war (and I believe that they plotted to or did discard a stolen wallet in a black neighborhood)

but it sounds like terrible behavior on behalf of some of the Christian attendees.<<

I dont think we know the whole story here, but why in the world should any Christian suffer the presence of muslims at a Christian Funeral? The muslim was NOT INVITED he "Crashed" a funeral!

It was in Incredibly Bad Taste for a muslim to show his false-God worshipping head at the funeral of a murdered Christian!

Seems like if someone was interested in robbery, they'd rob someone with money, and chose a house where they did not have to slit 4 throats to get it. The fact that they were bound makes it sound like more than one killer.

The NYT, of course, can't believe that anyone would commit a hate crime against Christians. That certainly wasn't what they had in mind when they urged passage of the hate crime law.

The MSM and the rest of the iberal faction will not admit what is going to happen/is happening within our borders.

We have too many people from too many places - places of war and famine and ignorance. We must rise above or be brought down to their level - the level of dogs fighting in the streets.

Amen! You know that if a Christian showed up to a muslime funeral, the mohammedans would kill the Christian. The muslime got off easy.....

Only for now, I'm sure.

This news is disturbing on many levels. But the most disturbing thing is that muslim(e)s ARE bringing their close-minded, bomb-packing, murdering viewpoints to this Country and they are going to Force an OPEN JIHAD.

I'm keeping my eyes open and supplies handy.

Master list of links here:
 FAMILY OF 4 SLAUGHTERED-'ISLAMIC HATE' EYED IN SLAYS --The cover-up is now in full swing--probably bacause the authorities are skeered of those terrorist-supporting, infidel-hating CAIR-types and the leftist media will accommodate the robbery theory all the way.

In a telephone interview yesterday afternoon, Sheik Saleh said he never intended to cause trouble and regretted attending the funeral. "I didn't come to hurt anyone, I came to support them," said Sheikh Saleh, 42, the imam of the Oulel Albab Mosque on Bay Ridge Avenue, sounding shaken. "I am sorry."

If he REALLY wanted to show respect, he would be on TV and in every public place he can be preaching how these acts of terrorism against Christians was absolutely WRONG and that anyone committing such violence would go straight to the Muslim equivalent of Hell.

But you notice that he didn't disavow the acts at all....
