Tennessee man sentenced over plot to attack Muslim community
(Reuters) - A former Congressional candidate from Tennessee has been sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison for plotting to burn down a mosque, a school and a cafeteria in upstate New York, the U.S. Department of Justice said on Thursday.
Robert Doggart, 65, was sentenced on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Chattanooga, where he was convicted in February of trying to recruit people to commit arson and violate civil rights.
Doggart was arrested by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents in April 2015 after saying in wiretapped telephone calls that he planned to recruit a militia and travel to Islamberg, a rural town that is home to a small Muslim community in Hancock, New York, about 130 miles (209 km) northwest of New York City.
While there, he intended to "carry out an armed attack" that included burning down a mosque or "blowing it up with a Molotov cocktail or other explosive device," the statement said.

What a sick fuck. I hope he enjoys the rest of his life in prison.
I guess so.
He's as bad as the the other guys who go after civilians .. so should get same treatment
This criminal idiot probably thought of himself as a counter-terrorist.
His views are very unpatriotic, but he doesn't know that. So weird.
Everybody's entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, except if they're small, brown children whose death is collateral damage in a Molotov-fueled culture war. Then all bets are off.

Not if Islam gets it's way.
Or fascism.
True.

True.
Fascism, Stalinism, Islam are all the same. No, I shouldn't say that. Islam is much bigger, richer and organized.
I'm surprised more Europeans are not taking the law in their own hands. Their governments aren't protecting them.
In the middle East, there would cleansing if non Islamists carried out one tenth of one per cent of the attacks Islamists have in Europe.
Of course planning to kill requires max sentencing
Aside, I'm curious. Does anyone know what sect this isolated Islamberg is?

Likely is Sunni - but their reclusive ways indicate a sub-sect of Sunni. I'll try to find what they are and what they are about
There have been great suspicions published for many years - but "reclusive / secret" alone may be driving that
