TAMPA - A podiatrist arrested after authorities found a stash of guns and explosives in his home was planning to destroy an Islamic education center and dozens of mosques, court records revealed Friday.

Dr. Robert J. Goldstein, 37, was charged with possession of a non- registered destructive device and attempting to use an explosive to damage and destroy Islamic centers.

During a search of his Seminole home, deputies found a typed list of approximately 50 Islamic worship centers in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area and elsewhere in the state.

We need to understand his rage.

[Consort]

A podiatrist, as in chiropodist, as in feet, as in shoes, where some terrorists place bombs......ummmm.

[spetznaz]

They were showing some of the guns this guy had and one of them was a 50 cal sniping rifle. All i can say is that even though this person's actions were wrong he sure knows how to pick his weapons. The thing looked like a cannon with a scope! No scoped hunting rifle for this guy.

We need to understand his rage.

Yes, we need to look at the root causes. Why do the policies of the Arab governments generate such anger in the American street?

[WellsFargo94]

A podiatrist arrested...was planning to destroy an Islamic education center and dozens of mosques...

Is he trying to "stomp" out evil?

Maybe he's trying to "kick" Bin Laden's butt?

[RandallFlagg]

That weapon looked like something from one of my FPS videogames: Long range sniper rifle. I want one....

Ideal for home defence, eh?

Henry Bowman's right hand tightened around the walnut grip of the Solothurn S18-1000. The weapon had been a present from his Father, given to him on his fourteenth birthday in 1967. Cost $189.50 back in the sixties Henry thought irrelevantly. I thought that was a steal. Dad's friends thought it was astronomical. Wonder what they'd think now. --UC

This guy is avant garde to the max.

Damn---does this guy think we are at war? And at war with someone who has vowed to annihilate us and has no qualms about who they kill, how many, etc.? What's wrong with him?

I don't mean to say I told you so, but I predicted some time ago that we'll see an increasing number of Americans who, if they do not wiew government as taking action to protect us, will take things into their own hands.
