choices : news related : PEOPLE STOP PUTTING DOWN OTHER FAITHS [+] serious ballot by larrynelmira created Sun Jan 16, 05 Authorities are exploring whether a religious argument in an Internet chat room led to the slaughter of a Coptic Christian couple and their two daughters in their Jersey City home, relatives of the slain family said yesterday. One of the victims, 47-year-old Hossam Armanious, spent some of his spare time in chat rooms devoted to the Egyptian religious sect, at times proselytizing and at times writing about persecution of Coptic Christians by Muslims, family friends said Armanious' hobby took a dark turn about two months ago, friends said, when he was threatened after writing comments deemed an insult to Islam by another person logged in to a chat site. "Some Muslim guys said if you don't stop this, we're going to come out and kill you," said a family friend, who requested anonymity, citing fears for his safety. First Assistant Hudson County Prosecutor Guy Gregory would not comment on the possibility that the slayings were a bias crime. "We are continuing the investigation, making inquiries on several theories, and will not comment further," Gregory said What are your thoughts on this?
