The man convicted of setting fire to an Ohio mosque earlier this year is now blaming his crime on having watched Fox News and listened to conservative talk radio shows, which he claims convinced him that Muslims are all “terrorists.”
The 52-year-old man, Randolph Linn of Indiana, recently pleaded guilty to charges of setting fire to the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo, resulting in a 20-year reduced prison sentence. His sentencing is scheduled for April 2013.
As part of his defense, the Digital Journal reports that Linn told the court that he was “riled up” from watching Fox News and consuming “45 beers” over a span of seven hours before committing his crime.
When the judge asked whether Linn actually knew any Muslims, the defendant replied, “No, I only know what I hear on Fox news and what I hear on [conservative talk] radio.”
“Muslims are killing Americans and trying to blow stuff up,” Linn added. “Most Muslims are terrorists and don’t believe in Jesus Christ.”
Upon being arrested for the arson, Linn reportedly told officers, “Fuck those Muslims… they would kill us if they got the chance.”

Here is a nice photo of a beach in Dubai. Erly, you won't have to wear a burqa, but if you choose, you may.
anyone who is jewish and was around for the second half of the 20th century has every right to feel uncomfortable around mieasterners in general and muslims in particular. the holocaust wasn't that long ago and all of the events that followed up. israel was only created as a solution to "the jewish problem", on a tract of land that was worthless and no one wanted until the jews arrive and developed it. the muslims and the arabs hate israel and the jews, they want them exterminated and israel eradicated. no, not every single arab or muslim...but it is the government and religious policy. in our town, we have oktoberfest every year. my jewish friend who lived thru ww11 still avoids the event, the idiots in liederhosen and the oompah music make his skin crawl. is that discriminatory, hell yeah. is there a reason for it? hell double yeah. i remember reading an interview with bette midler where she talked about arriving for her first european tour. she said when the plane landed, she stepped out of it and smiled for the cameras and all of the time her little jewish heart was screaming to her, "what are you, crazy? get me the fuck outta here!"
the arabs and the muslims are new nazis. anti-semitism lives, even in the 21st century. if you don't believe it, talk to an older jewish person. even better, talk to one of the hasidim, they're still being blatantly discriminated against.
fenway, watch your back. it can happen again and it's wise to be wary.
