Hawzah News Agency (Florida, US) – According to Miami Gardens Police, 27-year-old Brandyn Hernandez was arrested Monday after he posted arson and death threats to his Facebook page.

One of the Sunday morning posts reads in part, ‘[Expletive] the Muslims who stole my phone.”

The suspect appears to take aim at worshippers at the Islamic Center of Greater Miami-Masjid Miami Gardens. The post went on to say, “(Masjid 183) I’m going to have your hand, no trial, no due process. #TRYME”

Hernandez’s arrest form states that he wanted to burn down Muslims and “take them out” using Molotov cocktails at local Muslim-owned corner stores.

Officials at the mosque said Hernandez visited, dined and prayed at Masjid on a regular basis, as recently as Saturday.

“To us, it was a surprise,” said Abdul Rasheed, one of the leaders at the mosque.

Rasheed acknowledged the suspect was acting strange recently.

“He was acting a little bit weird … Very quiet, very isolated, kind of retracted to himself,” he said.

Members of the mosque notified police following the posts, leading to Hernandez’s arrest at Florida Memorial University, where he was recently a student.

In addition to the posted threat over the stolen phone, the Facebook page also features a post showing a painting of Jesus Christ holding a man, accompanied by text that reads, “Ya Muslims need Jesus!”

The suspect tagged the mosque in the photo.

Hernandez has been charged with making written threats to kill or do bodily injury.

“Knowing from his threat, whatever it is, it’s public record now,” said Rasheed. “It makes you believe maybe he has certain motives.”

End.
