It's also not surprising to hear that he wanted to blow up 770, since that is the propaganda he heard in Satmar.
A former Satmar Hasidic man who turned into a Muslim radical, was arrested, charged and convicted of making terroristic threats for threatening to blow up the Chabad Lubavitch headquarters in the Crown Height section of Brooklyn, New York, according to court proceedings in Virginia.
Now, the New Jersey man, who used a website to incite violence against those whose ideals are offensive to his religion, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison.
Yousef al-Khattab, 45, said before sentencing that he regretted his posts. He also called himself a clown and said that he did not intend to incite violence.
“Now I look back and I feel very bad,” al-Khattab said.
In a post, al-Khattab directed followers to attack the headquarters of the Chabad Jewish organization. Al-Khattab posted a picture with a link to a map, and pointed out that the main temple was always busy in the hours of prayer services.
Yousef al-Khattab grew up as a Satmar Hasid before converting to Islam.
