> Yesterday, 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 girl’s 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?

> When followers of “the religion of peace” hacked off
> Nick Berg’s head, it received nowhere near the
> coverage as the Kobe Bryant case. Social
> commentators and news analysts argued that the story
> must be played down to prevent stirring up hatred
> toward the Muslim community. Considering that only
> one act of violence against a Middle Easterner
> (mistaken for a Muslim) was performed in retribution
> for the outrageous murder of over three thousand
> Americans in the 9/11 attacks, I don’t think that
> outcome very likely. I think it far more likely that
> the suppression of coverage was due to fear of
> offending the Muslim community.

> Well, I’m offended by the Muslim community that
> refuses to condemn such acts of violence. I’m
> offended by the Muslim community that tolerates the
> teaching of religious violence, anti-Semitism,
> anti-Christian bigotry and anti-Americanism in its
> religious schools. More than that, I am offended by
> the liberals in our culture who refuse to recognize
> this violent cancer in our midst that is literally
> killing us one person, one family and 3,000 persons
> at a time. I am offended by those who refuse to
> recognize evil, and demand tolerance from everyone
> but those who cut off people’s heads and fly planes
> into buildings. I am offended by those who blame the
> victims and celebrate the predators out of their own
> cowardice.

> If, as it appears, this family was killed by Islamic
> terrorists in New Jersey, it must serve as an
> ear-splitting wake up call. Every American must be
> warned and reminded that the terrorists hide among
> us. The likes of Michael Moore, who claim, “There is
> no terrorist threat,” should be forced to view this
> atrocity. Those who think the prisoner abuses at Abu
> Graib were horrible human rights violations should
> by forced to view the body of an 8 year old girl,
> her hands bound and her throat slit by their Muslim
> darlings.

> America - you reading this column - do not let this

> faith and our freedom. Let their deaths become the
> turning point, the moment when America finally awoke
> to the dangers of radical Islam and realized that
> the war on terror is here, on our soil, now. Do not
> return to life as normal. Do not let the media give
> Michael Jackson more coverage than this gruesome
> terrorist attack. Demand that his story be the most
> covered of the year - call the national media, call
> your local media. Call your elected representatives
> and demand that the laws meant to combat terrorism
> be enforced. Exercise your Second Amendment rights;
> buy a gun to protect your family. Know and be
> willing to protect your neighbors. Keep your eyes
> open; watch for suspicious activity. Patrol your
> neighborhood. For God’s sake, do not close your eyes
> to this atrocity!
