Christian Family possibly slain by Muslims.
Associated Press ^

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?"

I don't pay any attention to anyone who can't spell "why", "you" or "are."

The fact this happened with a small number of Muslim butt munchers is frightening considering how insane they act and what it would like here in good old USA if we were closer to a Muslim butt munch majority. Hmmm New Jersey/New York as I remember reports that some of these butt munchers were also cheering during the 9/11 attack. Send them all back to the desert and let Ali Baba sort them out. I wish the appeasers would wake up and realize our peril. Liberals act like they are foreigners trying to manipulate U.S. society for an invasion/take over. They serve their masters well.

Wow! I think I need some coffee after that.

Don't you need some kind of disclaimer that says "The term 'butt munchers' is not meant to imply judgement"?

Islam is reaping what it sowed, laying in the bed that it made by the deafening silence of their murderers.

And you should stop judging the poster with whom you disagree, according to your logic.

yes i agree that there should be more coverage on this, and yes i agree this was an incredable injustice BUT i DO NOT agree on how ppl are talking bad about islam, i'm coptic i left egypt from perssecution and i still don't judge, it's not ur right to judge anybody and it probobly was muslims, but who has the right to say that? U? NO! if ur so christian y are u judging ppl? didn't God say not to judge so wat r u doing? ur not better than the murderers if ur saying all this hate! a sin is a sin in Gods eyes and judging is a sin! so who are u to judge?! y are u posting hate? wat's the point is it gonna find the murderers? is it gonna bring bak the armanious family (God rest their souls) NO!! SO STOP JUDGING!!!!!

At heart, you are a muslim sypathizer, and that's not going to make you very popular on this site.

We "judge" based on repeating patterns and known fact. Go ahead....stick your head in the sand. It won't do you any good, nor will it honor God.

I thought you used to have to take a test to come here.

Anyway, in this country when you slaughter an entire family or anyone for that matter you are JUDGED, given a trial and hopefully fried after umpteen appeals.

YOU are JUDGING us here without knowing what the heck you are talking about.

BYE

BTW. it is the muslims that prefer the throat slashing/beheading procedure for those that oppose them. So the obvious and probably the correct presumption is an execution by the ROP!!!

it is true that the blood of martyrs is the seed of the church. it is also true that we have weapons at our disposal the muslims have yet to feel the full impact of. i speak of imprecatory prayers. asking God to get rid of His enemies. preferably, of course, by turning them into His friends. otherwise, by more drastic means. in either case, the world becomes a better place.

i find it interesting that God has smitten the islamic world twice in a row on December 26 -- i don't know why He chose that date, but i'm curious to see if He acts thus three years in a row.

for the sake of a billion fellow humans who are groaning under the yoke of islam, i join your prayers for the end of that henious oppression. and i agree with you that it is our duty to make sure our own hearts are right before God, if we want our prayers to be effectual.

most muslims, like most mormons, have better character than their deities.
