White guy in Indiana drinks 45 beers, burns down a mosque and then tells the judge it was because all he knows of the world is what they told him on Fox News and talk radio.

Priceless! Also, congratulations on the Onion changing their name to Digital Journal. It's catchier.

Mosque arsonist tells court: 'I only know what I hear on Fox News'

Linn told the court that on September 30 he had gotten "riled up" as a result of watching Fox News and drinking beer. Linn claims to have drank 45 beers in seven hours before heading to the mosque and setting a fire in the prayer room. He was also reportedly armed with a revolver at the time.

During the court proceedings, Judge Jack Zouhary asked Linn if he knew any Muslims or knew what Islam was about.

"No, I only know what I hear on Fox news and what I hear on [right-wing talk] radio," Linn replied.

"Muslims are killing Americans and trying to blow stuff up," Linn told the judge. "Most Muslims are terrorists and don't believe in Jesus Christ," Linn falsely stated, ignorant of the fact that Jesus is revered as a prophet in Islam.

[font color=red]The OP is a joke about how you can't parody the modern wing-nut. It is not meant to fool people. The story is very real, not the Onion.[/font color]
