An ex-convict who posted anti-Islamic rants online pleaded no contest Monday to setting fire to a mosque that the Orlando nightclub shooter occasionally attended was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Joseph Schreiber, dressed in a burnt orange jumpsuit, his wrists and ankles shackled, pleaded no contest during Monday's hearing before Circuit Judge Steven Levin. Schreiber answered Levin's questions in a clear, unwavering voice before sentencing.
A no contest plea is treated the same as a guilty plea. He had confessed to detectives that he set fire to the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce last Sept. 11, the 15th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks. The damage to the mosque was so extensive that the leaders recently announced that it will move.
Omar Mateen was killed by police after opening fire at the Pulse nightclub on June 12 in a rampage that left 49 victims dead and 53 wounded, making it the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Mateen professed allegiance to the Islamic State group. His father is among roughly 100 people who regularly attend the mosque.
Schreiber, who is Jewish, posted on Facebook last July that “All Islam is radical” and that all Muslims should be treated as terrorists and criminals.

Turkey’s PM Erdogan: "The term 'moderate Islam' is ugly and offensive — Islam is Islam."
It is a far, far greater crime to insult terrorist sympathizers than it is to murder American innocents.
I read this sentence several times, and then realized that it wasn't...
He’ll get more time for arson than the wife/accomplish of Omar Mateen will get for assisting in the killings.
Odds are some peaceful Muslim inmate will murder him in prison before long.
Really? Burnt Orange for arson? Sound like a John MacDonald novel.
Compared to how many years after Nidal’s slaughter of 13 at Ft Hood, during which time he is receiving his military pay, this is “instant justice”, no?
Yep.
Or the wife of the Boston Marathon bomber who is still walking around free as a bird.
“Compared to how many years after Nidal’s slaughter of 13 at Ft Hood, during which time he is receiving his military pay, this is “instant justice”, no?”
He took the plea and agreed to eat 30 years in prison.
That’s on him.
Maybe he should have gone to trial, but he is an ex-con and that would not help his case.
Thirty years seems about right.
I’d say that’s a bit excessive.
“I’d say that’s a bit excessive.”
It’s not excessive.
He’s an ex con.
He took the plea.
Had he been a first time offender, he would do less time.
But when ex cons offend, their options are very limited.
30 years? As far as I’m concerned he should be given a pat on the back and Biden’s shiny new medal. Oh and I’ll pitch in for his gas bill.
30 years for arson? Seems excessive. Must be hate arson.
“30 years?”
Yes, that is what they do to felons who are released from prison and then go commit another felony.
Outrageous sentence...30 years?? This was a message to Jews by a “Jewish” judge to get in line and conform to Sharia...or else.
It’s comments like yours that give liberals ammunition.
Environmental arsonists didn’t even get near this sentence. Also, those convicted of arson on Christian churches get minimal sentences. Just more of the appeasement to muslims.
