Islam Convert Sentenced To 22 Years In Prison For Los Angeles Terror Plot




22 years is a long time but not long enough, in my view. But this is a pretty stiff sentence considering the moonbattery in this land of ours. Here's the details of the sentencing of Levar Washington:



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.

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.

So, good old Levar is gonna be able to sit back for the next 22 years and contemplate that conversion to islam - I hope he feels it was worth it.

And since Washington is the first of the four convicted to get sentenced, it should be fun to see what is handed out to the rest, especially to the ringleader, Kevin Lamar James. It's my sincere hope that Kevin Lamar James gets the death sentence.




Man sentenced to 22 years in L.A.-area terror plot

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.Washington is the first member of the group to be sentenced. He pleaded guilty in December.
