two suspects caught in Armanious killings
As it was pointed out earlier, there were two suspects caught who had used the Armanious’ credit cards to withdraw money from ATM machines and were dumb enough to show their faces which were caught on tape. How convenient that a politically correct solution would show up out of nowhere, don’t ya think?
Robert Spencer at Jihadwatch:
Two suspects in the Armanious case have been arrested, and authorities are saying that religious hatred had nothing to do with the crimes — it was just a robbery gone bad.
Considering all the evidence to the contrary, I think that’s a bunch of hooey. I’ll grant you that these neighborhood thugs may have gotten a hold of some credit cards, but does that mean they were the people who committed these heinous crimes? People knew the Armanious family had very little, jewelry was not taken, and those are just a couple of the reasons robbery was out of the question.
It does, however, seem to eliminate the possibility that these killings were an American version of the Theo van Gogh murder in Holland: a Sharia-prescribed killing in a non-Muslim country for what is a crime only under Islamic law.
CAIR-NJ President Magdy Mahmoud declared: “All those involved in the investigation of this brutal crime deserve praise for their diligence and for resisting efforts by hate-mongers from outside our state to use the tragedy as a way to damage interfaith relations.”
I’m sorry but I don’t think very much of the President of CAIR -or the organization, which has close ties with Hamas. Being that the Egyptian consulate went to talk with the family members after the murders to hush them up and prevent them from speaking out on this case, there are still too many unanswered questions in my mind for a “politically correct” solution to show up and for me to swallow it. Does this seem terribly fishy to any of you out there?
And by the way, the “hatemongering” statement is equally as ridiculous.
Is that all it was? Hatemongers trying to stir up trouble and portray a robbery as something it wasn’t? There is no doubt whatsoever that that is how the media elite will portray the weeks between the discovery of the bodies and the arrests of McDonald and Sanchez.

Sounds to me like another couple of people have been given up by the Islamists to take the rap–just as they’ve done in the past. In the case of Richard Reid, or the Oklahoma City Bombing, to name a couple off the top of my head.

But as Robert Spencer so aptly points out:

But legitimate questions remain, and I am neither going to apologize or accept Mahmoud’s “hatemonger” tag for asking them.

Why don’t you take your little whining arguments over to the Northeast Intelligence Network or the Jawa Report? Or go over and visit Stephen Decatur of The Islamic Threat and read a little to understand what I’m talking about.

I hope that facts will come out at the trial that will explain some of the features of this case that make it appear not to have been a simple robbery:

1. Early reports stated that Hossam Armanious regularly engaged Muslims in discussion on the PalTalk website — discussions that became so heated that one Muslim threatened him: “You’d better stop this bull—- or we are going to track you down like a chicken and kill you.” This was reported in the New York Post and attributed to an eyewitness who saw the threat on the site at the time.

What was done to investigate this threat? Did they find and question any Muslims who had had discussions online with Hossam Armanious? Did the Hudson County Prosector’s Office question the man who asserted that it was made? Did they determine that the threat had not, in fact, been made at all? That seems most likely. If that is the case, on what evidence did they arrive at that conclusion?

Whatever the case, note that the report of this threat came not from “hatemongers outside the state,” but from a Coptic Christian friend of Hossam Armanious.

Those are valid questions, and I will be looking forward to more information as to the details surrounding this case, as it seems quite obvious to ME, anyway. Considering these people have a history of getting away with these things in the land of the infidel and running back home to the land of sharia. An investigation, my dear friends, should not be based on political correctness and only questioning certain individuals, ignoring certain facts as if they don’t exist. Doing that could have you arrive at the wrong conclusion, right?

2. If the motive was robbery, why was the family killed? Presumably to prevent them from identifying McDonald and Sanchez. But then we are evidently to believe that McDonald and Sanchez made repeated trips to ATM’s to withdraw money — with the quite visible ATM camera staring them in the face each time. Maybe they are irredeemably stupid — certainly there is a lot of stupidity among petty criminals — but it does at least raise eyebrows.

And that’s to put it mildly, Mr. Spencer.

3. If the motive was robbery and the family presumably surprised McDonald and Sanchez by being at home, leading the pair to murder them, why were the murders done with such precision? Why was so much care taken to slit their throats in a uniform manner? Why wouldn’t these guys simply have killed them in the quickest, easiest way possible?

Yeah, why bother to go through the painstaking trouble to make it appear as though an Islamist halal butcher did it-complete with boring the holes in their necks like on Al Jazeera? If these guys were stupid enough to have their mugs caught on tape at an ATM when withdrawing money, don’t you think they wouldn’t have a clue about halal butchery? We’re supposed to believe on the one hand that a guy by the name of SANCHEZ killed this whole family like on Al Jazeera for a couple of CREDIT CARDS?

4. Not long after the murders, I was contacted by a Coptic Christian who identified himself as a close friend of the Garas family (Hossam Armanious’s wife’s family). He claimed to have detailed information about the murders, and he gave it to me. His sources and his information appeared to be solidly based and at very least worth investigating. Some of it has been reported recently: a halal butcher whose daughter was converted to Christianity planned the murders for several months in revenge for the conversion. He fled the country shortly after the murders, but he planned them along with three others who are still in the country. The Copt gave me the names of all four, along with phone numbers and other details for two of them.
