Gee, the Christians leave the land of dhimmitude and get all uppity on their former Muslim overlords. How is the State Dept allowing this? (sarcasm)
The murder victims - Hossam Armanious, 47, Amal Garas, 37, and their daughters, Sylvia, 15, and Monica, 8 - were Copts, or members of the Coptic Orthodox church. In Egypt, Muslims are the majority and Copts, who are roughly 10 percent of the population, live with varying degrees of social, political and religious discrimination
Copts (Byzantine Greek pronunciation for "Egyptian") are the original Egyptians - or to be more accurate - they refused to assimilate and convert to Islam and adopt the Arab culture of their Muslim invaders.
"Wake up America!" yelled Dr. Monir Dawoud
How long will Eastern Orthodox Christians need to be yelling "Wake up America!" until America does indeed wake the hell up?
"In my country, I can't have one tenth of this," said Mr. Ayad, the Copt who served as deputy mayor in Jersey City for nine years, until 2001. Mr. Ayad, who is also a Coptic deacon and a real estate investor, said he dreamed of being a politician in Egypt but never had the chance given his religious affiliation. And then there are the clashes between the groups, which date back more than 1,300 years, to when Islam took over as Egypt's leading religion. The most recent large-scale strife, in the upper Egyptian town of El Kusheh in 2000, left 20 Christians and one Muslim dead.
So called "democracy" in Muslim countries will mean the final eradication of Christians in their native lands. Maybe then NATO again will bomb Eastern Christians for daring to defending themselves.
"sales clerks speak in equally hushed tones about the unsolved murder last week of a Christian Egyptian family, wary of who may be listening."
HELLOOOO...is this still AMERICA??
WAKE UP AMERICA!
What's left of America.
Stop Jihad Now!
The victims were bound and their throats slit, their bodies mutilated with multiple knife wounds. A cross tattoo on one girl's wrist was slashed.
Jewelry in the house was not taken, according to family members.
The father of the family had been threatened by Muslims in a chat room that they knew where he lived and they would "cut his throat like a chicken."
NOW is it a little clearer why the local Coptic Christians are so stirred up? It's easy to make it look like irrational behavior when you leave out the relevant facts.
This was a murder. The cops need to investigate etc..etc..
Let them do their jobs and STFU.
Why should the NYTimes give an accurate picture on the crime against the Christians by Muslims? Kosovo and Bosnia all over again - this time reported out of New Jersey.
Why does this not surprised me???
What is happening to the Jews in Israel, the Hindus in India, The Buddhists, in Thailand, the Christians in the Sudan will take place here
THERE ARE 22 WARS taking place in the world -- all of them have one thing in common -- ISLAM is attacking its neighbors. THE WORLD IS AT WAR WITH ISLAM, sadly the main stream press is often but a fifth column. After all we must be nice to the people who slaughter people like Dan Pearl and Nick Berg -- after all we if we pointed out who murdered these people wouldn’t that be racist?

Nope, .....I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do
you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics
intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be
allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of
80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper
identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old
Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former
Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40
alone because of profiling. We dare not search those who cause terrorism after all we do not want to be seen as racists by the islamic terrorists
I just came back from an Egyptian shisha bar this evening in Queens filled with lots of Copts and Muslims. All enjoying each others company.
I truly hope this event can make the Arab community realize the ridiculousness of importing extremism to this country. Arabs are Arabs, and especially in America we should not have to put up with this crap.

Bobby Kennedy was shot by a Sirhan Sirhan, I think was a Catholic/Christian Palestinian who may have dabbled in the occult.
Copts are not Arabs.
Well, they speak Arabic. Why not?
no he was a palestinian who claimed to be muslim.
But that is ok he was still an arab terrorist.
So? The Irish speak English - that makes the Irish, English?
In one of the several articles I've read about the murders, it said that the FBI is involved in the investigation. I'd like to know why the FBI would be involved if this was just a robbery/murder investigation.
