A fire at the mosque a year earlier had also been started by Conington.
Lord Burns identified him as someoe who "relishes violence".
He said: "As stated, you are a bigot and have a long history of behaviour of that nature.
"The risk assessment gives a chilling insight to your attitude towards ethnic minorities.
"You appear to be someone who relishes violence and may attack strangers randomly and without reason.
"The risk is a high one and the public require protection from you for a very long time."
