Argument over faiths probed in killing of 4 Jersey City man received chat-room death threat Sunday, January 16, 2005 BY MIKE FRASSINELLI AND MARK MUELLER Star-Ledger Staff Authorities are exploring whether a religious argument in an Internet chat room led to the slaughter of a Coptic Christian couple and their two daughters in their Jersey City home, relatives of the slain family said yesterday. One of the victims, 47-year-old Hossam Armanious, spent some of his spare time in chat rooms devoted to the Egyptian religious sect, at times proselytizing and at times writing about persecution of Coptic Christians by Muslims, family friends said. Armanious' hobby took a dark turn about two months ago, friends said, when he was threatened after writing comments deemed an insult to Islam by another person logged in to a chat site. "Some Muslim guys said if you don't stop this, we're going to come out and kill you," said a family friend, who requested anonymity, citing fears for his safety.

Religion of Peace??!!
TROP alert!
Hope they catch the ones who did this and the FEDS pursue prosecution.
Religion of Peace. CAIR, remembering Yamamoto's famous words, repeats to itself, " Keep the giant asleep. Keep the giant asleep. "
This is very frightening, ping.
This crap cannot ever be allowed here!
yikes! it is absolutely terrifying to think that one could be killed for doing exactly what we're all doing now - posting on the internet. Is anyone worried some jihadists might be lurking on Freep?
My preacher said today that a part of Hebrews not finished yet . He also said we only have to go as near as Mexico to see Christians dying for their faith:'(
loks like it's now in NJ, not even Mexico. (But I won't take the Jesus stickers off my truck)
I pray that the demented killers are caught as soon possible. Tried and executed. Islamic or not, these murderers must pay for their crimes.
"ISLAM" should be considered a "TOXIC BELIEF," & it's "Adherents" & it's "Literature" should be considered "Poisonous!!"
We SURELY have Enough Evidence to Justify that Conclusion!! (The MURDER of Four Coptic Christians in New Jersey).
Doc
It is terrorism. . .a slaughter, after this man receiving terroristic threats against him and his family to be 'killed like chickens'. . .which is precisely how this tortured family died.
Foget 'hate crime' New Jersey. . .tell it like it is. . .and may Justice be sure and swift.
Wherever it comes from.
I am not worried about posting on Free Republic.
Obviously, these people are not in this country BECAUSE they appreciate 'free speech'.
Must be another reason. . .and that does scare me.
If Muslim terrorist start attacking innocent civilians over here in the U.S. I believe they will be in for a surprise. I don't think the people of this country or our current government will stand for it. I believe the backlash will more aggressive and severe than any of them can imagine.
If we start seeing Mosque going up in flames it won't bother me at all. If there are any normal moderate Muslims out there then speak up for yourselves(and not only when pressured).
They can blame the terrorist if they get caught in the middle if they don't have the guts or sincere differences to speak against terrorist scum.
And why don't we stop all current legal immigration when it comes to Muslims? I don't care if a few moderate Muslims don't get to live free in our nation. They need to get more aggressive against the terrorist if they don't want to be seen as terrorist sympathizers(Which most are in my opinion).
(A sign of things to come?)

Well, I agree with you on that. . .things might be going a bit better over there; as we speak. . .if more Muslims who wanted changes for freedom and so determinedly; were working for such, in their own country. . .our job might be a bit easier.
Whether our government would stand or not - or at least how long would 'we' have to stand. . .to see Justice if these kinds of barbarities begin here - as they already have apparently. . .
I don't know....think we might be hearing first. . 'we ARE a Nation of LAWS!!!' . . .and of course. . .Lib PC would be in overdrive.

This story is going to be like an Aussie bushfire. There aren't enough firemen to put this one out. It's going to spread around the world via the Net...and there'll be MILLIONS of pyjamadeen before the sun comes up in the US tomorrow.
I've never doubted it.

Alledgedly the father was in cyberwar with some Islamic POS on the site above.....
How did the perps find out where Armanious lived?
There's no proof that Muslims did this. In any case, none of them should have been let in, not Copt, not Muslim. NO to them, NO to their wars.

'ISLAMIC HATE' EYED IN SLAYS(threatened for making anti-Muslim remarks online)

my views on Islam are notoriously incendiary, and my homepage has been up for quite some time.
so far, no one has kicked down my door or otherwise given me a reason/opportunity to feed them to my mother's pigs.
a benefit of living in the Deep South, perhaps.
There have been quite a few incidences --- attempts to blow up the subway of NY, the successful attack on the WTC on 9-11, a previous unsuccessful attack.
They have that chance now --- they should be eager to go to Iraq and fight for freedom --- if they believed in freedom --- but you don't see many if any doing that. They're over here living it up, meanwhile it's Americans going to fight their wars for them --- except that they are not on the same side.
What I would like to know is how they could have found exactly where they lived. Anyone with half a brain shouldn't give out such info on the net. I suppose he could have been tricked into giving out their address.
Welcome to the Religion of Peace
</sarcasm>
More like a sign of things that came. It is why I have to remain anonymous. Islam is a death cult.
The Arabs over here like to be standing in a crowd in a bus stop, whip out a knife and slash some ladies throat and in the shock of the moment run away. Throat slashing is a fine Islamic moment.
Too late, it was. It was allowed in Israel for years, enforced by the State Department. It was the States Department that rescued Arafat and set up a terrorist dictatorship inside Israel against their wishes. It was the State Department that paid those terrorist Billion of American tax dollars, creating an International terrorist problem. And it is the State Department that will gain power by removing freedom from Americans as it spreads across America.
Why else do you think they hold the border open, and pay illegals with your retirement fund while rubbing your nose in it?
Thanks for the ping!
I have lived a good and reasonably long life, sort of hard to scare Me with any personal fear, sometimes I just pray that it comes while I can still see the sights on My rifle.
The Muslim fanatics mistake our gentleness for fear, and I suppose there are some who are afraid, but a few more innocents slaughtered as this last family was may just set the fanatics up for a lesson.
This is not Europe, Our ancestors left Europe in disgust, Mine seeking Religious Freedom. We have no place to go, and there is no place for terrorists here.
That little Family came a long way for Freedom, I suppose We failed Them.
I've had My fill of the barbarians.
Check out my tagline. I'm not worried.
But they are evil, they are sick and they are over here.
Its bad enough that the Christian Copts, after over a millenia of persecution by these evil lunatics, flee to our shores only to be persecuted by these fanatical nutjobs here, right in America.
I just hope the relatives of these poor victims find these Jihadist monsters BEFORE the police do.
I said it before and say it again - Islam is a cult and shouldn't be accorded the same treatment as other religious beliefs. Whether its Copts, Zoroastrians, Nigerian Christians, Sudanese Christians, Israelis, Hindus, Budddhists, Sikhs, Animists, Greek Cypriots, Bahais, or former Muslims who convert to another religion, they are all targets for attack by these people.
Their mosques and madrassehes hsould be closed, and they should be given the choice of converting or leaving - before its too late for all of us and we find ourselves turned into another "Islamic Republic".
"Tried and executed. "
Never happen in Jersey. New Jersey hasn't ever executed anybody. Its governmnet by, for, and of the attorneys.
If these Copts had been living in Alabama, Mississippi, or some other Red States, they probably would have had guns to protect themselves. But not in a state which has lost all right to consider itself a part of America.

If you think this was not connected to this guy's religious beliefs, you need a reality check. If I remember correctly, that blind lunatic masquerading as a cleric, who is now enjying all the comforts of a Federal prison instead of dangling from a tree, and who planned the FIRST World Trade Towers attack was bunking out in a rathole in the Islamic "community" in Jersey City or somewher near there.
I agree with you about the Muslims not being allowed in here, but not about the Copts.
There are thousands and thousands of innnocent Christian Chaledeans, Copts, and other religious people who have suffered centuries of persecution under these insane monsters.
We should give them ALL preferential treatment in immigration here. There mere presence here will help enlighten the rest of America to the reality of Islam and its fruits.
"a benefit of living in the Deep South, perhaps."
You're right. The South, uniformly Red States, is quintessentially American, unlike the caponized northeastern U.S. and Left Coast.
Perhaps the Egyptian community there was small enough that somehow his identity was leaked through word of mouth. It seems like this Christian martyr and hero and the rest of their famioly were outspoken in attempting to expose the viciouness of this evil cult in his homeland. Or their murders may have had the technological expertise to tradce them down - 21st Century technology in Neanderthal minds.
At any rate, one should even be able to post one's name on the net or in the newspapers with an opinion of this evil cult without being killed for it.
Like other posters have nmoted, in other parts of the U.S., these people would have probably have been able to have acces to firearms to protect their First Amendment rights - but not in the People's Republic of New Jersey.
Thank you. My husband's close friend, a Copt, died just over a year ago. We are still close to his daughter and family.
They also came here to escape persecution in Egypt. We have attended their services and find them to be lovely, lovely people.
The U.S. State Department is a rats' nest of incompetent, idiotic naive fools. It needs to be completely purged of its membership and its staff replaced by people with functioning brains whose first loyalties are to America and not to the Countires to whcih they are detailed.
I hope Rice can do what Powell failed to accomplish when that incompetent retires.
I think the registration information at Paltalk may be crackable, from what I saw of it.
bump!
On an earlier post a detective, I think, said there were no signs of a break-in.
Well put.
