How to Tell Lies Without Moving Your Mouth
You might have heard the joke that goes: "How can you tell if a lawyer is lying? His mouth is moving." But this strategy is not effective on the terrorist-enablers at the New York Times, who are gifted at lying not by what they say, but by what they don't say.
An example is a piece in Wednesday's edition, concerning last week's butchery of an entire family, including a 14- and an 8-year-old girl, who were almost certainly killed by Muslims for being Coptic Christians. Their Egyptian sect is thought to go back to the first century AD. But the crime didn't happen in Egypt. It happened in Jersey City — directly across the Hudson River from the hole in the ground where the World Trade Center used to be.
The evidence that the Armanious family was killed by Muslims is circumstantial but strong. As Judson Cox describes the crime:
The family was bound and tortured, before their throats were slit in accord with the instructions for executing nonbelievers, as detailed in the Koran: (47:4) "Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers, smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly [on them]."
Theo Van Gogh also died by a slashed throat — a Muslim calling card. As Cox points out, Coptic Christians are especially hated by Muslims for having resisted Islam. This particular family had drawn the attention of Muslims by arguing religion in an Internet chat room.
Hossam Armanious had received death threats from Muslims. According to a family friend, one of the threats read, "You'd better stop this bull, or we are going to track you down like a chicken and kill you." Sylvia was especially brutalized, apparently due to the tattoo of a Coptic cross on her wrist. The girl’s throat was not only slit, but she was stabbed repeatedly in the chest and wrist where she bore the sign of her faith.
Sylvia was a 15-year-old girl.
Jersey City Muslims then rubbed salt into the wounds by crashing the family's funeral. Needless to say, the Coptic Christian community did not appreciate the gesture, and a near-riot resulted. The Times responded in Tuesday's edition by portraying the Christians as intolerant maniacs.
In Wednesday's edition the case, already considered barely newsworthy, is shoved down to the bottom of page B2. The only reason it is there at all is that the Times claims there is new evidence of robbery. The piece feigns puzzlement over what other motive there could be.
As pointed out on Jihad Watch, the robbery angle being pushed by the Times hardly rules out Islam as a motive for the killing: "After all, historically Muslim warriors always plundered the victims of jihad."
None of the words Muslim, Islam, Coptic, or Christian is to be found in yesterday's piece in the Times. There is no reference to the confrontation between Coptics and Muslims at the funeral two days before, or to left-wing assistant terrorist Lynne Stewart, in whose case a relative of the victims had helped prosecutors, according to the New York Post.
The Armanious family are barely cold in their coffins and already they are being written out of history as martyrs to their faith by Islamofascism's allies at the New York Times.

I hope you sent this to the Editor at NYTimes. Put their feet to the fire.

Let's face it, the Establishment will keep covering it up until the problem becomes so huge that they can't possibly ignore it.
By then it'll be too late. The general population will have lost all faith in the establishment and will deal with the problem on their own, with vigilantism.
This wasn't the first Islamofascist murder in JC BTW. A couple of years ago, a Muslim man wiped out his pregnant wife, her mother and sister because they were Hindus who objected to having the expected children raised as Muslims. He halal-slaughtered them with a knife, just like what was done to the Coptic family. The wife was pregnant with twins; the sister had two tiny kids aged 3 and 6. The sister's kids found the bodies. Nice, eh?
