Hate crime? Naw ...

via Michelle Malkin comes this story from New Jersey about an Egyptian Christian Copt family savagely murdered a few days ago.

Police made the grisly discovery of the bodies of a family of four tied up and gagged with their throats cut in their Jersey City Heights home yesterday morning.

The bodies of Hossam Armanious, 47; his wife, Amal Garas, 37; and their two children, 16-year-old Sylvia Armanious and 9-year-old Monica Armanious, were found in the family's Oakland Avenue home in the early morning hours, Hudson County First Assistant Prosecutor Guy Gregory said.

Sylvia, who hoped to be a doctor, was to have had her sweet 16 party today and the family had been preparing for the party, family friends said. ...

Pretty gruesome, right? Well, it gets worse.
The father of a murdered New Jersey family was threatened for making anti-Muslim remarks online — and the gruesome quadruple slaying may have been the hateful retaliation, sources told The Post yesterday. ...

Armanious, an Egyptian Christian, was well known for expressing his Coptic beliefs and engaging in fiery back-and-forth with Muslims on the Web site paltalk.com.

He "had the reputation for being one of the most outspoken Egyptian Christians," said the source, who had close ties to the family.

The source, who had knowledge of the investigation, refused to specify the anti-Muslim statement. But he said cops told him they were looking into the exchanges as a possible motive.

The married father of two had recently been threatened by Muslim members of the Web site, said a fellow Copt and store clerk who uses the chat room.

"You'd better stop this bull---- or we are going to track you down like a chicken and kill you," was the threat, said the clerk, who was online at the time and saw the exchange.

Of course the cops are keeping details of the investigation close to the chest. That's SOP. You neither want to tip off the perps nor leave yourself without signature details to weed out the sickos who love to confess to notorious crimes for the publicity. So, right now the cops are 'mum' about motivations that will help direct their investigation and being deliberately vague. However, the following details pretty well belie their statements 'several theories we are following' --

A family member who viewed photos of the bloodbath said Sylvia seemed to have taken the most savage punishment.

"When we saw the pictures, you could tell that they were hurt really, really bad in the face; especially Sylvia," said Milad Garas, the high-school sophomore's great-uncle.

The heartless killer not only slit Sylvia's throat, but also sliced a huge gash in her chest and stabbed her in the wrist, where she had a tattoo of a Coptic cross. ...

We are looking at rage. Cold, deliberate, hatefilled rage that drives a murderer to mutilate in specific ways related to the hate. Not only do chickens die by having their heads cut off (throats slit), but nothing enrages the Islamist like a young woman who doesn't know her place.
Both the deacon and uncle poured cold water on the theory that the family were the victims of a robbery gone wrong.

"This is not a robbery, Ayed said. "We found all of the jewelry in the house. They didn't take anything."

The FBI confirmed it has been called in to help with the case.

CAIR is busy intimidating Fox Entertainment over the show "24" (wow... they actually show that a terrorist just might be a moslem...no basis in reality there, eh?) alternating with incessantly pounding their chest about so-called "Islamophobia" in America. Think they'll have anything to say about this?

We already are witnessing Euro countries, including England, being threatened by moslems into dhimmitude. We cannot allow it to happen here.

Ma'am,

While the Muslims in NJ insist that Islam could not possibly have anything to do with this foul murder, a prominent Imam in Saudi Arabia calls for just such throat slitting. If Islam is a religion of peace, and no true Muslim would murder a young girl like this, why do they allow their holiest place--Mecca--to remain in the hands of those who call for just such murders? Mecca is in the hands of Infidels! Why do they not go take it from them?

Or maybe the Imam is the true Muslim, and the guys in NJ are lying to us?
