Tensions Surface During Funeral for Slain Christian Family

Thursday, Jan. 20, 2005 Posted: 7:03:17PM EST

Enormous tensions between Muslims and Christians in New Jersey surfaced earlier this week during the funeral for an Egyptian Christian family that was tied up and stabbed to death last Friday. As mourners took the streets of Jersey City to St. George & St. Shenouda Coptic Orthodox Church on Monday, grief and rage erupted as many blamed Muslims for the killings.

Last Friday, the bodies of Hossam Armanious, 47, his 37-year-old wife, Amal Garas, and their daughters, Sylvia, 15, and Monica, 8,were found bound and gagged, their throats and heads stabbed repeatedly.

Protesters carrying anti-Muslim signs and shouting anti-Islam slogans on Monday, as a procession of mourners made its way to St. George & St. Shenouda Coptic Orthodox Church—where the Armanious family was active in the church since immigrating to the United States in 1997 from Egypt.

The protests prompted several scuffles with mourners who rebuked them for having no respect for the dead or the grieving relatives, AP reported.

1. This is so awful....

the bigots are out spewing their hatred while a family and community mourn their dead.

2. I think this was more than a robbery, usually when the victim

is stabbed in the face and head it shows that the crime was of a more personal nature - that deep hatred was a factor.

It's very sad all around, but I don't understand how anyone could murder children in such a vicious, personal manner.

3. um ok, so if a Muslim guy goes in a chat room

and says bad things about Christians, if he and his family get killed, even though there isn't even a suspect, you think Muslims are going to the funeral with anti-Christian signs?

You think the local cops are going to say it might have been a hate crime of Christians taking their revenge because they didn't the guy's opinions?

Sorry this is a terrible murder but there are a LOT of people who express anti-Islam views in chat rooms. Something does not sound right about this.

It does not sound right that the cops would say something like that, without any suspects or leads or anything. It seems like if they thought it was anything like that, it would be the last thing they would say in public.....
