A 17-year-old British teenager has been sentenced to ten years in prison after being found guilty of attempting to set fire to a mosque in Scotland, Shia Waves Persian revealed.

According to BBC reports, the youth, who was an admirer of fascist leaders Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, had drawn up plans to target the Muslim place of worship. Authorities said his actions, motivated by extremist ideology, created fear and deep concern within the local community.

During the trial, prosecutors revealed that the teenager’s preparations for the attack highlighted his intent to incite violence and hatred against Muslims. The case was closely watched in Scotland, where interfaith leaders and civil rights groups have condemned the rise of hate crimes against religious minorities.

Judicial officials stressed that the sentence reflects the seriousness of religiously motivated crimes and the need to deter hate-driven violence. Community representatives welcomed the ruling, calling it a message of reassurance to Scotland’s Muslim community.
