    N.Y. African-American Muslim town threatened by Arizona man

    Upstate New York town threatened by Arizona man in online post: reports

    7 hours ago

    (Reuters) - Residents and authorities in a rural upstate New York community were taking precautions after an Arizona man posted a video online showing himself with a gun and saying he was traveling to the town for a possible confrontation, according to media reports.

    Jon Ritzheimer, of Phoenix, Arizona, was seen with a gun and claiming that he was heading to Islamberg, a rural hamlet that is home to a small Muslim community about 130 miles northwest of New York City, the reports said. His comments could be viewed as threatening, they said.

    Ritzheimer posted the video on Facebook, according to the reports.


    New York City's Daily News, citing sources, reported that the FBI had issued an alert to law enforcement agencies to look out for him.


    "After recently becoming aware of a video which could have been perceived as threatening against the Muslim community in Hancock, N.Y., the FBI immediately took steps to notify our federal, state and local partners,” the paper quoted a spokeswoman for the FBI's Albany field office as saying.


    Neither the FBI or Ritzheimer could be contacted immediately by Reuters.


    It was at least the second threat against the town this year, after an ex-Congressional candidate from Tennessee was accused of plotting to burn down a mosque and use an assault rifle against anyone who tried to stop him.


    Robert Doggart, who made a failed bid for Congress in 2014 as an independent with highly conservative views, pleaded guilty in April to interstate communication of threats.


    Formed by a group of African-American Muslims from New York City,
    the community follows the teachings of Pakistani Sufi cleric Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani, who during the 1980s urged his American acolytes to leave metropolitan areas and establish rural communities centered on religious life.


    Islamberg is one of about a dozen Muslim enclaves formed in accordance with the cleric's ideas. It also serves as home to Muslims of America, a Gilani-founded organization.


    The Muslims of America have called for Ritzheimer's arrest, according to the reports.


    "We let the FBI know as soon as we saw the video," a report quoted spokesman Muhammad Matthew Gardner as saying.

    "We upped our security at all our properties."

    Ex-congressional hopeful indicted in alleged anti-Muslim plot

    Robert Doggart

    CBS affiliate WBNG

    KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- A federal grand jury has indicted a former Tennessee congressional candidate for allegedly soliciting others in a plan to burn down a mosque in Islamberg, a predominantly Muslim hamlet in Hancock, New York.

    Robert Doggart, 63, allegedly planned to burn a mosque, as well as a school and a cafeteria in the community.

    Investigators said he sought others to join the plan through Facebook posts and in telephone conversations.


    The case was investigated by the FBI, and the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division is prosecuting Doggart.


    According to court documents, Doggart is a member of several "private militia groups." He ran as an independent candidate for Congress in Tennessee's fourth congressional district in 2014. The Department of Justice pressed charges in Tennessee, where Doggart still lives.


    Doggart was allegedly recorded by the FBI telling unnamed people cooperating with the bureau that his plan involved killing residents and burning at least three buildings. He met with at least one source in Nashville.


    "Those guys (have) to be killed," Doggart is accused of saying during one call. "Their buildings need to be burnt down."


    During the same call, Doggart allegedly told the person on the phone that pistols couldn't be carried from Tennessee to New York because the city doesn't have carry permit reciprocity, but that "AR-15s, M-4s or M-16s" could be brought.


    Doggart said he planned to bring his M-4 rifle with four magazines, according to court documents.


    Federal agents began investigating Robert Doggart following a Facebook posting in which he claimed Islamberg was planning a terrorist attack and "must be utterly destroyed."


    Investigators said Doggart wanted to conduct the attack to start a "flash point" against American Muslims.


    He was released on $30,000 bond and is currently subject to home confinement. If convicted, Doggart faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.


    Doggart previously agreed to plead guilty in the case in April, but the plea agreement was thrown out by a federal judge last week.

    Muslim hamlet thanks police, says activist hasn't come


    Muslim hamlet thanks police, says activist hasn't come

    Ritzheimer

    A spokesman for the Muslims of American community in Hancock said Monday while they remain vigilant following a recent threat, there have been no unusual incidents, and the group is thankful for the increased presence of local police.

    Muhammed Matthew Gardner said that Arizona anti-Muslim activist Jon Ritzheimer may have been thwarted from any plans by the recent increased attention. The indigenous American Muslim organization founded in 1980 issued a press release Nov. 20 stating that Ritzheimer posted a threatening Facebook “video rant” on Nov. 18. The FBI issued a warning to police agencies that Ritzheimer could be headed to Hancock.

    Gardner said he appreciated the increased patrols from agencies such as the state police and Delaware County Sheriff. The community also has round-the-clock security.

    “We haven’t heard anything about him,” Gardner said. “We are very glad for that.”

    He said he didn't know about Ritzheimer’s plans but the attention from the FBI may have prevented anything from occurring.

    In response to an inquiry about the situation, FBI Albany field office media representative Paul Holstein said in a prepared statement: “The FBI vigorously investigates threats and allegations of hate crimes. After recently becoming aware of a video which could have been perceived as threatening against the Muslim community in Hancock, NY, the agency took steps to notify our federal, state and local partners. The FBI and New York State Police have maintained communication with the community to keep them informed of pertinent information. As always, we remain committed to protecting the civil liberties of Americans and make every effort to preserve their safety.”

    State police at Sidney public information officer Trooper Nathan Riegal referred all questions about the situation to the FBI.

    Gardner said, “Until we know where he (Ritzheimer) is, we will keep increased security to make sure members of the community are safe.”

    I would think Facebook would keep a copy for the F.B.I. when they delete threats.
