Egyptian Christians (Copts) Murdered in New Jersey

Hossam Armanious, 47; his wife, Amal Garas, 37; and their two children, Sylvia Armanious, 15; and Monica Armanious, 9 were found murdered last week. Hossam had been a staunch defender of Christianity against its Islamic detractors on on-line discussion boards. Nothing was stolen from their house.

Requiescat in pace.

Here are some news stories and commentaries about the incident, which bears all the marks of Islamic terror, that I found linked to from various Catholic bloggers:
