Didn't this play out in real life in New Jersey a little while back?
Was that not a family of Coptic Christians slaughtered by some "befriending" islamics?
You have the story right. We must kill these creeps or be killed.

No. The guy that killed them turned out to be someone they had rented a room to. (and his friend)
Yes. I believe it was sometime in late Spring.
Jersey City,NJ a couple of years back. Father and Daughter were active in evangelizing to Muslims, pissed off a bunch of Muslims in Arabic on-line forums. The whole family was ritually slaughtered. No connection to Islam or terrorism was officially found
I think Defense Dept is missing a bet by not recruiting more Arabic-speaking Coptic Christian translators
Robbery, not religion, behind family's killing

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - The upstairs tenant of an Egyptian Christian family found slain in their home in January and another man have been charged in the killings, and authorities said Friday the motive was robbery, not religious fanaticism.
Two men already on parole for drug offenses pleaded not guilty to four counts of murder in the Jan. 11 killing of the Armanious family, which had caused tension between Christians and Muslims in New Jersey.
Edward McDonald, 25, who rented a second-floor apartment above the Armanious family, and Hamilton Sanchez, 30, were ordered held on $10 million bail.
"I didn't kill nobody, man," Sanchez said as he was led from the courtroom. McDonald, wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and black pants, stared at the floor during the hearing.
Authorities said Hossam Armanious, 47, his wife, Amal Garas, 37, and their children, Sylvia, 15, and Monica, 8, were slain three days before their bodies, bound and gagged with puncture wounds to their heads and necks, were found Jan. 14.
In the days after the slayings, about $3,000 was withdrawn from Armanious' bank account using his ATM card, and investigators were able to get surveillance video from cameras over those cash machines, officials said.
Both men were arrested Thursday.
"I'd like to make one thing perfectly clear: The motive for these murders was robbery. This was a crime based on greed, the desperate need of money," Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said.
DeFazio said officials believe a planned robbery spiraled out of control when the 8-year-old loosened her bonds and recognized McDonald. He is accused of killing her to avoid identification, and Sanchez is accused of killing the three others, DeFazio said.
The slaying had caused speculation that Hossam Armanious might have angered Muslims with opinions he posted in Internet chat rooms under the user name "I Love Jesus." The arrests were welcomed by Christian and Muslim groups who said they were disturbed by the religious tension.
You said - Didn't this play out in real life in New Jersey a little while back?
No they actually caught the killers. Robbery.
