BOSTON (AP) — A man accused of threatening to burn down New England's largest mosque and making other threats to the Muslim community is being held without bail.
Suburban Boston resident Patrick Keogan made his initial appearance in federal court Tuesday on charges of making online threats and being a convicted felon in possession of ammunition. He didn't enter a plea. He's due back in court Thursday.
Authorities allege in November he posted an image depicting a mosque in flames on the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center's Facebook page with the message: "Burn your local mosque." They say he also included the statement "Hello scumbags" and a smiley face emoji in his post.
Mosque executive director Yusufi Vali says he's grateful law enforcement pursued a complaint about the posting.
