A California man has been charged with making terrorist threats against a Muslim center and posting hateful messages on social media, authorities said.
Mark Lucian Feigin, 40, was arrested last week after calling the Islamic Center of Southern California and threatening to kill Muslims, officer Liliana Preciado of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) told AFP.
She said Feigin is suspected of having called the center on Sept. 19 and leaving a hate-filled message. He called again the following day, when he spoke to an employee and threatened to kill Muslims, Preciado said.
A search of his home in Agoura Hills, a city northwest of Los Angeles, turned up five rifles, a shotgun, seven pistols and more than 250 pounds (113 kilograms) of ammunition, including modified high-capacity magazines, she added.
“The right to free speech is a hallmark of our society,” Commander Horace Frank, of the LAPD’s Counter Terrorism and Special Operations Bureau, told a news conference. “But that right is not and cannot be unabated.
