October 15, 2001 -- PORTLAND, Maine - Isanu Dyson, a fifth-generation American who converted to Islam three years ago, is prepared to join the jihad against the United States, and believes government workers are fair targets. The 24-year-old Maine resident, who carries a dagger and 3-foot sword, told The Post it would be "noble" to enlist with the Taliban and fight against American soldiers in Afghanistan.

it is exactly these unpopular statements which are the subject of the first amendment.

An unpopular statement might be that your mama wears army boots. A statement that this yahoo will slit your mama's throat if given half the chance, is a little stronger than mere "unpopularity." It really doesn't much matter what the 1rst amendment says or means -- people will take this as a real threat, and some will act accordingly. There is a notion of "fighting words." This guy took a risk. That's the long and short of it.

I didn't say to ignore the guy, in fact I have a number of ideas how to treat him, and most of them would get me banned. I just tried to caution the poster I replied to against generalizing from this guy to other fifth generation American muslims. My head of sales is a third (?) generation American with Turkish ancestors and thus a muslim, and his son is an officer in the Navy. I think I know what the two of them would do to this bastard, and it wouldn't be pretty.

You guys grow some real crazies up there in the great north. Do you think it's caused by poor circulation during the winters?

Nah, can't be. The cold weather in Fairbanks, AK appears to have had the opposite effect on my sister and her husband, converting them to the RIGHT side of the aisle. There must be something else, native to the North East...

The sick liberals and the media are just dying to use our "justifiable" outrage against us and try to make their own rotteness smell/look good...as per usual!

That guy needs a one-way ticket - I propose to let in drop in on the top of 5K guided one.

There's bunches of military aircraft headed that way, I'm sure it would be easy for him to
get a ride. I just hope he wouldn't be planning on any use of the landing gear before
they "drop" him off.
Oh... and tell him about our no-returns" policy

Dyson also described the United States as "hypocritical," because it believes in freedom but interferes in the affairs of other countries by helping to install governments against the peoples' wishes

He had no comment on Osama bin Laden's acceptance of funding, arms and training from the United States when Afghanistan was invaded by the Soviet Union. What a surprise.

Dyson, who says he began carrying the sword and dagger after Sept. 11 for "self-protection," admitted he felt uncomfortable making such comments while living in America, and said he had considered going to Afghanistan immediately after the attack.

If I see him with those, he would probably place me in fear for my life...A perfectly reasonable assumption, right?

Decisions, decisions.

Gold Sabers, or HydraShocks

No..this would be even better.

"According to the Koran Moslem males must grow their beards but shave off their pubic hair."

Hey that means Gary Condidit must be a Muslim. Isn't that what the stewardess said he did?

In the same way that Southern states are referred to by the pejorative phrase "Deep South" I refer to the Northeast region that has given us Ivy League nihilism and institutionalized legal sleaze as the "Deep North."

I believe that this gentleman has personal identity issues or else he obviously has a death wish. May his wish be granted. Why isn't he in Afghanistan?

He is not in Afghanistan because Allah made him a coward! His greatest fear has come upon him and overtaken him!

You are right! People like him should not be allowed to stay on the loose with 3 foot daggers in their hands...

As it is "jihadis" are considered fanatics....and a "jehadi" with a 3 foot sword/dagger is a dangerous fanatic.
