A family of Christians who fled persecution in Egypt ran into a bloody nightmare in Jersey City - where the husband, wife and their two daughters were found knifed to death in their home yesterday.
The bodies of Hossam Armanious, 46, his wife, Amal Garas, and their two youg daughters - Sylvia, 15, and Monica, 8 - were found gagged with their throats slit at 4 a.m. yesterday inside the green, two-story, wood-frame home they moved into five years ago.
Investigators were struggling to figure out who could have slaughtered the religiously devout family.
Jersey City Police Chief Robert Troy Said police are leaning toward the suspects being at least an aquaintance, after finding no sign of break-in.
"I don't believe it was random," he said. "They probably knew their killers."

Rafique Iscandar, 51, who described himself as Armanious' best friend, said his pal also came (to America) because of the pressure of being Christian in the Muslim Egypt.
"They were afraid there," Iscandar said. "They are under siege by the government. We lived in fear."

And, just wait 'till you post to yourself on a thread, asking yourself a question......just ask Brad's Gramma 'bout when that happens....not that SHE ever did THAT, of course! : )
Well, for Pete's sake.
Now......WHICH TWO "FANATICAL" GROUPS do you speak of?
As in.............??
Enough innuendos. Say what you mean!
Death is the prescription for everything they don't like in islam.
Nope. Not I. Perfectly innocent of all trumped up charges!
The ZotFather won't be pleased.
The older daughter is 16 and she has a Christian name. My guess is that it's been a while.
lol!
The first post you put up, you referred to "which of the two fanatical groups". Myself, and apparently a bunch of people, thought you were implying that Christians were as fanatical as the Muslims....
That's all.
If that's NOT what you meant, I apologize. If that IS what you meant....well..uh...
I see you've picked up my habit of not capitalizing certain names, such as islam, etc........ It's my form of protest.
hehehehe
LOL! Steady, Lover. Some people on the troll patrol are a little trigger happy...
I did something like this here tonite and Brad's Gramma was gracious enough to warn me, it really made my palms sweat, being careful, being verrryyyy careful!
There's a difference?
Forget the subtleties. We speak and comprehend English very well.
Spit it out!
"I think it was some filthy, low life, vermin infested, Muslims who did this horrible thing!"
Now, see! That wasn't so hard, was it?
I give up.
