LA: Muslim Convert Sentenced to 22 Years for Conspiring to Wage Jihad Against America......

Washington

A firing squad is a more appropriate sentence for a man who declared holy war on our country....

A man who planned attacks on military installations and synagogues in the Los Angeles area for an Islamic terrorist cell was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison today for conspiring to wage war against the United States.

Levar Washington told a federal judge in Santa Ana that cell members "flirted with the possibility" of attacking targets but no longer believe "a military solution is possible" because "it belies reality."

Washington, a convert to Islam, and three other defendants were members of Jam'iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh, a radical Islamic organization formed in prison by cell leader Kevin James. The group is better known as JIS.

Its members came to law enforcement's attention in 2005 when Washington and another cell member robbed about a dozen gas stations in the Los Angeles area over about a month's time. When authorities searched Washington's apartment they found plans for attacks against military facilities, synagogues and Israeli offices.

Washington told the court that the group acted out of opposition to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and they chose gas stations to rob because oil is a political symbol.

Sentenced to 22 years? Why not execute this bastard and let it be a message to all TRAITORS of this once great nation!

HE'LL be happy to know he can now pray all day long with the other Islamic thugs that inhabit the confines of the jail...and no one really cares.

Islam is for fools..
