Jail time and then deportation sounds good to me.

[RunningWolf]

I wonder how they found him out.

Well maybe not, he was prime suspect from the moment they saw arson, and the forensic methods are so much better now days.

[Roy Tucker]

Man, I hope they deport him. We have enough native-born rent-seekers in this country. We don't need him.

"We are particularly pleased with the verdict in this case," said U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sullivan. "By faking a hate crime, Akram falsely instilled fear in members of his community that they, too, might be subject to similar crimes. No one should have to live with that type of fear."

And he falsely instilled an aura of guilt upon non-Muslims; that they are far more likely to commit hate crimes than they are.  No one should have to live with that type of false guilt.

How many fake hate crimes are committed by Moslem against "themselves" as opposed to actual hate crimes committed by "Islamophobes" (not counting cartoons and dirty looks)?

Akram falsely instilled fear in members of his community that they, too, might be subject to similar crimes. No one should have to live with that type of fear."

Nothing wrong with Muslims in America always looking over their shoulders.

They both need to appolgize to the white community and then DEPORT both of their sorry asses.

Faking a hate crime ... weird.

A similar thing happened recently here in Nebraska. The owner claims (owner is possibly Nigerian) he was tied up by two white guys who then went and set his store on fire. They're saying it was a hate crime, but it sure seems similar to this story.
