A man suspected of supporting the Islamic State and planning a New Year's Eve attack in Rochester became a Muslim while serving in a state prison, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said today.

Federal prosecutors on Wednesday charged Emanuel Lutchman, 25, of Rochester, with attempting to provide material support to terrorists.

The governor said Lutchman had served time for robbery in Attica, which is home to the state-run Wyoming Correctional Facility.

Cuomo said the man "became radicalized" on the Internet.

The federal complaint says Lutchman is a self-professed convert to Islam who claimed to receive direction from an overseas ISIS member and planned to carry out an attack at a bar-restaurant in the Rochester area on Thursday, the Associated Press reported. The authorities did not name any targets in the attack.

The penalties for stealing only apply when you STEAL FROM A FELLOW MUSLIM.

Stealing from infidels is covered under jihad. The lives and wealth of infidels are free for the taking.

THAT is why Islam is so attractive to criminals.
