He was caught the second time he tried it.
"A racist thug is behind bars after a petrol bomb attack at a mosque.
Thomas Conington - who sports a swastika tattoo on his chest - struck at the Central Mosque in Edinburgh last September.
The 28-year-old who 'accepts' he is a bigot, had started another fire at the Mosque the previous year and also turned up in the summer to shout racial abuse.
When detained by police he held up his middle finger towards officers and denied he was responsible.
However, Conington today admitted his guilt at the High Court in Glasgow.
He admitted wilful fireraising, behaving in a threatening manner and a charge under the Explosives Act - all aggravated by religious prejudice."
