We have nothing to indicate this was not an American family of Arab descent. Not a hajib in sight, which is an indicator they weren’t ROP.

Seeing the pictures of what are clearly just normal kids who are now dead breaks my heart.

Many of the comments on this thread are an embarrassment to FR and to human beings in general.

Dallas News reports:

Neighbors said the family was Muslim

but had always hung Christmas lights on their home — except this year.

The dad disapproved of a daughter's boyfriend.

The comments on this thread show, as you correctly point out, how stupid and ignorant some people on FR are. I wish JimRob would expel people from this board based on stupid comments.

I live in a suburb that borders Grapevine. This has nothing to do with religion. They were all Christians.

This had to do with Bankruptcy. Father got bankrupt, their VERY upscale home in Colleyville (a rich suburb) got foreclosed and he had to move to a crappy apartment in Grapevine (a lower middle class suburb), then he got divorced, his life was spiralling out of control and now he decided that better to be happy in the Eternal Kingdom of God than suffer poverty and hardship on Earth

Joke’s on him though. He will burn in Hell for this. As for the rest of family, they are all in God’s lap right now being given eternal love.

I agree with your thoughts stated here completely. Amen.

No truth has emerged through the criticism of your fellow FReepers.

This is just one of many reports concerning Christmas related attacks:
Being Christian is a death sentence

While this could be an isolated crime of passion, the justification for such acts is not uncommon among haters of Christianity. The ROP assumption might be wrong, but not farfetched.

Yes. I think this was just your standard domestic.
