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 reject your judgment on our judgments. In my judgment, that's just too judgmental of you.

Oh, and I don't recall that judging others was necessarily a sin, just a really bad idea if your own hands weren't spotless.

If you don't agree how "ppl" talk badly about Islam, what do you think of Islam? Is it the religion of peace? Don't you think there is substantial evidence that Islam creates a culture of violence and intolerance? Don't you think that many Muslims - through their faith - have a lack of respect for life? Why won't you tell me who taught you to spell like a DU troll? Did you take a class on that somewhere?

[SittinYonder]

Welcome to Free Republic. How did you find our site?

The DU troll who taught her how to spell pointed it out to her.

[darkwing104]

If you knew anything about us you wouldn't being talking to us like this. We sympathize with the the Coptics. We need to identify these killers for what they are, to do nothing is tantamount to condoning what they have done.
Kitties are getting concerned...

[eyespysomething]

at least its not coptgrrrrl

[scott0347]

Whats wrong gurl? Cat got your tongue?

[Not A Snowbird]

From your post, you sound like you just wandered over from DU. You are also typing like you're fourteen years old.

Proper spelling and sentence structure will go a long way toward making yourself appear credible on this board.

[Rightly Biased]

Listen do you smell something?

I judge bad behavior as do you. We are given permission to do that. I judge your typing as awful so there.

[MarineBrat]

Sum'n smells funny!

BUT i DO NOT agree on how ppl are talking bad about islam,

Everything I ever wanted to know about islam I learned on 9/11. BTW we are to judge the fruits (actions) of others. In the case of islam these 'fruits' are (to name a few) tyranny and blood.
