TOLEDO — Accused Islamic Center arsonist Randolph Linn, 52, of St. Joseph, Ind.,  today pleaded guilty to all charges in U.S. District Court, Toledo.

Under a plea agreement Linn is to spend 20 years in prison. Sentencing has been set for April 16, 2013.

In court today Linn said he chose the mosque because he had been by it several times in his job as a truck driver.

Linn said on Sept. 30 he had been watching Fox News and had gotten "riled up." Linn said he drank 45 beers in seven hours before going to the mosque.

Linn was accused of entering the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo in Perrysburg Township and setting a fire in a prayer room of the. He was reportedly armed with a revolver at the time.

He should have pled insanity cause 45 beers would constitute that

Fox News--watch at your own risk.

Fox News + 45 beers=bad life choices.

We know the right wing & their coked up talking heads at FOX despise math so they'd never tell their viewers there are 1-billion Moslems on planet earth. If 1-billion people were ALL terrorists, this entire planet would look like the moon.

Thank all the gods FOX is registered with the FCC as an "entertainment network" & insisted in court documents free speech allows them to lie to their viewers about the world around them ...or the endless violence they've incited their viewers to perpetrate wouldn't be entertaining to their intellectually constipated fan base.
