In this particular case it appears that it WAS undeserved and unwarranted.

...and entirely understandable, considering the information we were given from the Coptic community and the victim's relationship with Muslims.

Yes, lots of misinformation was provided by the "Coptic community" and I can understand the tendency to mistrust them. But not all Copts are liars...so we must look at individuals and actions, not groups and beliefs.

Wondering, speculation, suspicion, sure - but if you review the posts, it shows that the search for the truth was a secondary consideration - the opportunity to spread hatred and distrust was not to be missed.
Many posts did not even bother to reference the subject of the thread - they were simply reposts of anti-muslim pictures and slogans, looking very much like those used to rouse anti-American feelings and get the unwashed out to march in the streets.
