Funeral of slain family brings Muslim-Christian tensions to boil 1/17/2005, 4:01 p.m. ET By WAYNE PARRY The Associated Press JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Grief and rage erupted Monday during the funeral for an Egyptian Christian couple and their two young daughters who were tied up and stabbed to death last week. Mourners fought in the street, pushing, shoving and punching each other as many blamed Muslims for the killings.
Investigators are looking into the possibility that Hossam Armanious, 47, his 37-year-old wife, Amal Garas, and their daughters, Sylvia, 15, and Monica, 8, were slain by a Muslim angered over postings that Armanious, a Coptic Christian, wrote in an Internet chat room.
The bodies were found bound and gagged Friday, their throats and heads stabbed repeatedly. No arrests has been made as of Monday afternoon. ..........
Protesters carrying anti-Muslim signs and shouting anti-Islam slogans on Monday prompted several scuffles with mourners who rebuked them for having no respect for the dead or the grieving relatives. One sign, above a photograph of the smiling Armanious family, read, "American Family Beheaded on American Soil. Welcome Bin Laden." Others read, "Terrorists Reached Our Home" and "Bush: Crush Sleeper Cells."
"Muslims as a group kill people," said Ashaf Baul of Jersey City, one of the marchers at the head of the procession. "Nobody else slaughters people. If it was a robbery, why tie their hands and cut their heads?"

Islam -- Makes the Church of Satan look all warm and fuzzy.
Oh no I can't rilly say that, cause I live near Jersey "New Mecca" City.
Just glad I have a fortress of a security system that would bring tears of joy to Howard Hughes eyes.
Its too bad that NJ makes it so difficult to get a gun.
Maybe theyd be alive with that protection.

Welcome to the United States; we have lots of rights, including the right to make up our own minds, based on the available evidence.
You left Egypt to escape persecution from the Muslims, yet you won't condemn Islam? I think you're not being completely honest with us. When did you leave Egypt? How long have you been living in America? Who taught you to spell like a DU troll?
