The cousin apparently wasn't close to the murdered family.

The link between the dead father's outbursts against Muslims on Paltalk ICQ seeming more probable.

Islamic Violence Against Copts Reaches Into Jersey City
14:56 Jan 17, '05 / 7 Shevat 5765


(IsraelNN.com) An Egyptian Coptic (Christian) man, his wife and their two daughters were found brutally stabbed to death last week in Jersey City, New Jersey. The apparent motive for the killings, according to sources close to the case and others close to the family, was Islamic fanaticism.

The murdered man, Hossam Armanious, was known for his outspoken Christian faith, which he promoted in Internet "chat rooms" among Muslim web surfers. According to a fellow Jersey City Copt, a Muslim in the chat room had threatened to kill Armanious "like a chicken."

Mohsen Lutfi, one of the founding members of an Egyptian movement calling for a return to the land's Coptic roots, said in 2003, "We are Egyptians and not Arabs.... The Arabs are our friends and neighbors and we have common destiny, but we are not Arabs."

Copts are allegedly descended from the ancient Egyptian peoples who populated the region before the Arab Islamic imperial wars of conquest in North Africa in the early 600s CE.

How about this ~ the same loudmouthed Moslems in that chatroom are also the same loudmouthed Moslems previously involved in supporting the Blind Sheikh?

All same thing GI!
