US-based militia planned to kill Muslims after 'rigged' election

Members of US-based militia group called ‘Crusaders’ revealed their terror plans post US presidential polls

While Donald Trump and his supporters raise allegations that US presidential elections will be rigged, an arrest in Kansan recently has revealed with evidence that there would be disturbing violence post-elections.

A few of the US-based militia group called ‘Crusaders’ were arrested last week allegedly involved in plotting a bomb in an apartment complex in Kansas a part of which was also being used as a mosque. The complex is home to Somali Muslim immigrants.



According to a complainant, one of those arrest “at various times yelled at Somali women dressed in traditional garb, calling them “f***ing raghead b*****s”.

These men were planning to plant bombs similar to those used by Timothy McVeigh in the 1995 Oklahoma City attack. Their execution date was set to be a day after the US elections.

Patrick Eugene Stein, one of the planners who have been arrested, had said in June that their terror action would “wake up” the country. “The only … way this country’s ever going to get turned around is it will be a bloodbath and it will be a nasty….”



“Unless a lot more people in this country wake up and smell the coffee and decide they want this country back ... we might be too late, if they do wake up... I think we can get it done. But it ain’t going to be nothing nice about it,” Stein added.

He had also left a detailed criticism online against Muslims and the US government which he claimed has been infiltrated by Muslim Brotherhood, which is a common allegation by US far-right politicians including Trump advisers Roger Stone and Michele Bachman.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center notes, Stein wrote: “Angry we allow one of the most corrupt, deceitful, lying, conniving, treasonist, POS [Hillary Clinton] on the planet to run for president while under investigation by the FBI and that elections are rigged by the elitist (FYI: YOUR VOTE DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE).”

Many Americans – round four in 10 – now believe that election may be rigged. It is hard to imagine that those arrested were the only ones who wanted to get violent in case of rigging. For example:
