Muslim leaders called a news conference Wednesday to try to defuse religious tensions following the murders of an Egyptian Christian family, but Coptic Church officials, who were invited, did not attend.

Organizers said Coptic officials told them they could not make the gathering, billed as an interfaith unity event, due to a religious holiday and a local funeral. The holiday, Feast of the Epiphany, celebrates Jesus' baptism.

Meanwhile, a Coptic church in New York issued a statement alleging the slayings were not being characterized as hate crimes because of "political correctness."

The St Abraam's Coptic Orthodox Church in Woodbuty, N.Y., issued a statement Wednesday cautioning against "jumping to conclusions." But the statement also said "some signs point to this incident being a religiously motivated hate crime against Coptic Christians."

"If this crime was in fact an attack against a Christian family for their faith and for expressing their beliefs, it can only be viewed as an act of terrorism committed on American soil," the statement read. "The apparent reluctance to consider this a hate crime despite Jersey City's long history of Muslim extremism is concerning. Even more disconcerting is the thought that this crime may be classified as a robbery for reasons of political correctness."

Please excuse the excerpt.

Of course they didn't show. They would be killed or used as a photo op for the ROP.

A "Unity" meeting is really just an offer by your enemy to allow you to surrender. In this case, it's nothing more than an effort to sweep the murderous truth of Islam under the rug. The Coptics were correct in not giving in by showing up to this "Unity Meeting".

Dhimmis don't show? What's up?

The apparent reluctance to consider this a hate crime despite Jersey City's long history of Muslim extremism is concerning.

Concerning indeed.

When the publicly appointed authorities refuse to carry out their duties, it is up to the public itself to take that responsibility into it's own hands.

Why should they show up? These muslim leaders calling a news conference reminds me of my cat covering his poop in the sandbox, heck, try and cover it - it still smells.

Muslim Religion=Religion of Hate. This was a hate crime and there wont be enough "kitty litter" to cover it - we are not swallowing it this time.

Good for the Coptic Church.

Now if they want to up the ante. Print "Mohammed was a pedophile" on a billboard in New Jersey.

Islamaniacs would go NUTS.

[Dark Skies]

Imam Mohammad Qatanani, spiritual leader of the Islamic Center of Passaic County, said what was done to the Armanious family is forbidden by Islam.

Exactly where is the killing of infidels forbidden? What does the Qur'an say that prohibits this...

This murder was precisely in accordance with Islam and it is precisely consistent with the way the Prophet conducted his life.

Christian Copts in Egypt - as elsewhere in Muslim-dominated lands - have suffered atrocities of the worst kind at the hands of Muslims...for about 1300 years.

Advice to all racist murderers: be sure to steal some items from your victim, so you'll be tried only for robbery.

Seriously, four people have been brutally butchered. Who cares what was in the assassin's head, whether he "hated" the family or not?

[MisterRepublican]

God bless the family of the victims and God bless the Copts.

"Islam is the religion of love and peace, the religion of not hurting, the religion of respecting life and humanity,"

Bull

No...double Bull

This makes me wanna go ballistic. It's such an out and out lie...and the sad thing is most Americans are so uneducated about Islam (not to mention the PC crap) that they will believe it.

[Sender]

If you put up the pedophile billboard, they will go nuts but it won't help the situation. Better yet, put up a billboard with an American wearing a red, white and blue keffiyah over his face and holding a rifle, with the message "Only fools bring a knife to a gunfight. -The People of the USA"

"The kingdom of the Greeks is now dismembered by them and deprived of territory so vast in extent that it can not be traversed in a march of two months. On whom therefore is the labor of avenging these wrongs and of recovering this territory incumbent, if not upon you?"

Perhaps the time has come again.

The neo-crusades have begun!

"Exactly where is the killing of infidels forbidden? What does the Qur'an say that prohibits this...

This murder was precisely in accordance with Islam and it is precisely consistent with the way the Prophet conducted his life.

Hiding the truth behind their actions, lying to infidels, is also in accordance with Islam:

Taqiyya and kitman - "According to Christian ethics lying is a sin; In Islamic jurisprudence and theology, the use of taqiyya against the unbelievers is regarded as a virtue and a religious duty."

Hiding the truth

This comment won't make sense for seculars, but Islam and its lying and violence and misogyny and general cruelty is perfectly Satanic...

Not to sound biblical, but that is why is bears the fruit it does.

Ya can't have a religion based on lying and killing and expect it to produce good things...

Muslims are deceiving themselves when they trust the moon god...he may promise paradise (infantile as it sounds) but consider that Allah and Mohammed might be lying. And why not, a religion based on lying could only be designed by a liar.

[ViLaLuz]

I totally agree with what you say...

But please don't apologize for "sounding biblical." There isn't a saner way to sound!
