New Jersey family slain by Muslim terrorists?

Fox News is pushing this story about a NJ family of four, all found stabbed to death in their house.

Hossam Armanious, a Coptic (Egyptian) Christian, posted anti-Muslim statements on the internet and received death threats because of it. You don't have to be a genius to figure out that this isn't just a robbery but a religiously motivated slaying.

The other news sites seem to be ignoring the story (although it appears in the NY Times as a New York region story). Probably because it contradicts the "Islam is a religion of peace" mantra that apologists are trying to promote.

UPDATE

Not a big deal in the MSM but all over the internet: My Side Of the Couch, Little Green Footballs, Michelle Malkin, Power Line, Heroes From the Past, Secure Liberty, Back Of the Envelope, Outerific, Smooth Stone, Dawn Patrol, Relapsed Catholic, Key Monk, Fladen Experience, Crossing the Rubicon, Dreams Into Lightening, Jihad Watch plus many more. Good thing we have blogs to keep the MSM honest.

UPDATE II

I can't believe that this story about a dead baby makes CNN's front page while the much more important story of a massacre commited by Islamic extemists in our own country is ignored.

The mainstream media is very cautious about publishing potentially inflammatory stories of this type when the facts are suggestive, but unconfirmed. The Fox story says that local officials are downplaying the religious connection, which is probably part of the reason mainstream media is not running with this story.

"A better analogy would be to compare The Crusades to Islam's current attempt to take over the world via violence and unrestrained immigration "

Okay, lets compare. The crusades were a response to invasion and an attempt to take over the world via violence and unrestrained immigration. Hmmm...sounds just like what we see today.

How can you turn what I said so inside out? You had better re-read it. Our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are a response to Islamic violence just as the Crusades were a response to Islamic violence. The big myth is that we (Western Civ) were the villain in the Crusades when in fact we were fighting a defensive war (as we are today). We were attacked first. Or did you forget that?
