While the national media covers the Oscar
Pistorius murder case wall to wall, the gruesome murder and beheading of two
Coptic Christians by a Muslim has been virtually blacked out.
This despite the fact that the story was
broken by an ABC television local affiliate in Jersey City two weeks ago.
MUSLIM ACCUSED OF BEHEADING 2 CHRISTIANS IN
U.S.
Torture, persecution of faithful no longer
reserved for Islamic nations
by BOB UNRUH
Authorities in New Jersey allege a Muslim man
beheaded two Coptic Christians, burying their bodies and heads and hands in
separate graves near Philadelphia, bringing the horror of the persecution of
Christians in Islamic nations to the United States.
According to New York’s WABC-TV, the Muslim
was identified as Yusuf Ibrahim, 28. He was taken into custody after the
bodies were found.
The report said investigators alleged Ibrahim
killed the victims then severed their heads and hands, and buried the remains
in the back yard of a home in Buena Vista, N.J.
The report said the victims were from the
Coptic Christian community in the area. One of the victims had come from
Egypt not many years ago.
While the report said police did not indicate
a motive, friends of the victims wondered if it was something to do with
religion.
WABC reporter Jeff Pegues wrote: “To members
of the close knit Coptic Orthodox church the pain is real.”
“It’s a shock, something like this doesn’t
happen to people like that,” one resident told him.
The report said police described the suspect
as “ruthless” and “calculating” and said he belongs behind bars.
“The victims were Coptic Christians and the
murderer was Muslim (and we are painfully aware of the status and treatment
of Coptic Christians under Muslim rule in Egypt),” she wrote.
Authorities said the suspect was found driving
a white Mercedes Benz that belonged to one of the victims.
Ibrahim was being held at the Atlantic County
jail on charges of murder and desecration of human remains.
