Alexandria, Virginia: Satmar Hasid who converted to Islam was sentenced to imprisonment for incitement to murder Jews.
On Friday, the Federal Court in New Jersey sentenced two years and a half of imprisonment on Yousuf al -Khattab - formerly Yosef Cohen – a Satmar Hasid who converted to Islam and founded a Jihad Organization.
In 2007 al -Khattab founded the organization and website "Islamic Revolution" which called for attacking Jews who were active, in his perspective, against Islam.
According to the lawsuit, Khattab encouraged support for Osama bin Laden and other terrorist leaders, terrorist organizations such as "al-Qaeda" and Taliban and advocated a violent Jihad.
When Israel acted in Gaza in 2009, al-Khattab encouraged "to search for the American Jewish federation leaders, deal with them directly in their homes and hold them responsible for the Palestinian state in Gaza."
The organization also published the names and addresses of synagogues in New York and New Jersey, and a Brooklyn Jewish organization information - including maps, driving directions and potential targets for attack.
The site of the organization under his management provided direct access to literature of preparing and operating guidance for making homemade explosives.
