An Egyptian family in New Jersey --- mother, father, and both daughters, including an eight year old girl --- were found in their home last Friday, their bodies bound and their throats cut. Why? Because the father criticized Islam:
Hossam Armanious, his wife Amal Garas and their daughters, Monica (8) and Sylvia (15) were found murdered in their New Jersey home. The reason this family was so brutally murdered appears to be that they were outspoken critics of Islam. The family was bound and tortured, before their throats were slit in accord with the instructions for executing nonbelievers, as detailed in the Koran: (47:4) "Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers, smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly [on them]."
They were Coptic Christians, an Egyptian sect of Christianity especially hated by Muslims for their refusal to convert to Islam. Hossam Armanious had received death threats from Muslims. According to a family friend, one of the threats read, "You'd better stop this bull, or we are going to track you down like a chicken and kill you. Sylvia was especially brutalized, apparently due to the tattoo of a Coptic cross on her wrist. The girls throat was not only slit, but she was stabbed repeatedly in the chest and wrist where she bore the sign of her faith.
It remains to be seen how our news media will deal with this horrific slaying. Will this brutal and sensational crime receive as much coverage as the Laci Peterson murder? Will this terrorist attack be treated with the same awe and fascination as the Kobe Bryant case? Will we have 24/7 legal analysis, breaking news, interviews, investigations, magazine racks filled with pictures of the slain, an absolute media frenzy? Or, will this gruesome event be glossed over, whitewashed and quickly forgotten for reasons of political correctness?
This is why journalism is defunct!
The Enemy Within!!!!
Kind of early for this, no clues point to this as yet,
at least none that have been made public.
The term "hate crime" only applies when "Christians" are the perpetrators, not when Christians are the victims.
Is this a polite way of saying they were beheaded?
This sickening and enraging crime will be forgotten only if people let it be be so. There was an article in my local newspaper, the Reading (Pa) Eagle, but in the obituaries, not the news.

Anyway, he told Quinn off air that the murdered man was the cousin of the former translator for Lynne Stewart.
Lynne Stewart? The communist attorney for the blind sheikh Abdul Rakhman.
So? She was indicted and awaits trial for sneaking messages out of prison from the shiekh to his minions on the outside.
And?... The cousin turned on Stewart and gave up evidence in a deposition to the FBI which led to her indictment. A connection...HMmm?
Anyone who wants to check it out can go to www.warroom.com and stream or download the show for free.
Do you remember/did you hear the name of the author? I'm too lazy to google it right now...
Sorry no, I haven't listened to it yet. I'm in the process of downloading it now. I've been a Quinn listener since '97. I download and listen to him every day while I'm FReeping. Quinn at the very least lurks here; I suspect he is a FReeper but couldn't guess what his screen name might be.
From Amazon.com - Bush Country : How Dubya Became a Great President While Driving Liberals Insane by John Podhoretz "One might conclude, from his conduct over the past three years, that George W. Bush was put on this earth to do two things: First,..." (more)
Sorry Ma'am, if I didn't meet your definition of political correctness.
Otherwise, if Jim thinks its appropriate, I'll go.
In any case, ZOT! you!
I, and others send him articles. He has mentioned that he lurks once in a while though. I listened years ago, but quit...I went liberal for a while... I just got back into listening about a year ago.
The New York area media (excepting the New York Times, of course) is not silent on this.
The Jersey City PD is.
JC cops are scrambling all over to distance this horrific murder from the fact that it was committed by muslim punks.
I work with two people who fled Jersey City for the far western suburbs because of JC's big muslim community.
One is a young woman sick of being accosted by muslim "youths" half her age on the streets and threatened with violence if she resists. "Kuffir," they spit.
The other is a Polish-born family man (and top programmer) sick of muslim idlers pissing on his lawn and his wife and kids afraid to go outside.
I contacted Quinn and he helped doug from upland and Vetnet promote "The Ballad of Mike Moran" when it came out. During the Clinton years he posted a link to my old website, presidentialzipper.com, as the top link on his humor page. Quinn is a real deal hard core conservative good guy.
It won't get play for the same reason the Jesse Dirkishing murder didn't get play. It doesn't fit "The Plan".
Feh.... Clues and evidence .... who needs 'em when there's a jihad to run off to? So far as I can tell, folks like Davey Cantrell aren't terribly different -- talk-wise, anyway -- from the militant salamikazes they claim to despise.
