More on the New Jersey Murders

Several days ago Mike posted about an Egyptian Christian family that was murdered in New Jersey. The story isn't receiving much attention here in the States and the attention it does receive is somewhat sickening and one sided.

From the Journal Gazette comes this headline:

Jersey City slayings spur new wave of anti-Muslim bias

The article that goes with the headline is just as one sided.

The dirty looks and shouted slurs started in 1993 after Muslims living here helped plan the bombing that damaged the World Trade Center just across the Hudson River. They intensified after Sept. 11, 2001, when Muslim hijackers destroyed the twin towers.

Now a third wave of anti-Muslim sentiment is washing over New Jersey?s second-largest city, sparked this time by reports that the murders of an Egyptian Christian man, his wife and two young daughters might have been carried out by Muslims angered by messages the man sent in an Internet chat room.

The strife is particularly distressing in light of efforts the area?s Muslim community made to reach out to other faiths and strengthen ties after the 9/11 attacks. Imams visited churches and synagogues. Joint prayer breakfasts and open houses take place. Muslim merchants visited the homes of their Christian and Jewish counterparts and strongly denounced the attacks.

Are we supposed to NOT notice that the sympathy invoked here is not for the slaughtered family (including an eight year old little girl)? Are we to ignore that sad reality that there is a large amount of evidence that points to the fact this family was murdered because they are Christians that dared to speak out against Islam and it's culture of death?

The sympathy invoked in this article is instead for the Muslim community and any insults they may have had to endure as a result of the murder.

Michelle Malkin is also staying on top of this story

Jihad Watch has posted the translated test from a Muslim bullentin board which states:

The good planting has started to yield thank Allah and soon, Allah willing, an intense Islamic revolution all across America that holds the right and bring down the falsehood that they've created.
