Islamic leaders arrested for conspiracy for trying to cause civil disorder in the US

Gotcha! They were skinheads, you probably won't see this on the national news though. Go ahead, turn on CNN or Fox News. Nothing? I know, it's weird, right?

"Three Florida leaders of the American Front, a California-based group of racist skinheads known for its predilection for violence, have been arrested on conspiracy and hate crime charges, along with four other members of the gang.

Two of the leaders — Marcus Faella and his wife Patricia Faella — were arrested on Friday, while the third, Mark McGowan, was picked up over the weekend, as were the four lower-ranking group members. The three leaders were charged with instructing another person in the use of firearms or explosives while knowing that they would be used “in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder in the United States.”

Officials in Florida initially offered few details of the arrests or the alleged conspiracy. But a source close to the investigation said they are, in effect, the second round in a major, ongoing investigation."

I'd recommend that you edit your post and change it to "Skinheads" instead of "Islamic leaders." You don't need to alter the story to get viewers.
