A Seminole podiatrist who plotted to blow up a Pinellas County Islamic center learned his fate in federal court on Thursday.
Robert Goldstein was sentenced to 12 years and seven months in prison. He faced a maximum of 15 years behind bars.
...
Deputies arrested Goldstein at his home in August 2002 after receiving a domestic call from his wife, Kristi. Once inside, they found a cache of weapons and a detailed plan to destroy an Islamic mosque and cultural center.
Kristi Goldstein was sentenced last week to 37 months in prison for her role in the plot. Samuel Valiant Shannahan, who pled guilty to being part of the conspiracy to attack Islamic targets, has not been sentenced yet.

If it had been an Arab planning to blow up synagogues, it would have been plastered all over the media and he would have been surreptitiously tried and given a disappearing act (probably to the Guantanamo concentration camps to rot or be executed).
Yet, in this case no charges are filed that are demanded under the PATRIOT Act.
