He may also carry a knife, but can she use it? Where is Lorena Bobbit when we need her?

[Nitro]

As one of my heroes Bugs Bunny would say

"He don't know me very well, this means WAR!!"

[nancetc]

Treason...with execution.

[Ptaz]

I wonder if this person just wants his name in the media.

[dagnytag]

Let's not stop him...

[Yankee]

Just like a raghead, to bring a knife to a gunfight!

[Thinkin' Gal]

[hattend]

I'll give the guy some credit...he must carry his balls around in a wheelbarrow.

How else would you explain his allowing his picture, name, and hometown to appear in a paper while preaching sedition? Lots of guts or real stupid...pick one.

but Islam is a religious and manpower superpower - we are 1 billion people

MOst of whom live in poverty, are illiterate, and prefer to live in the dark ages.

Yeah, some superpower.

[hinj]

the man has valid points on colonialism and installing governments against the peoples' will, but if he doesn't agree with it, he should SHIP OUT.

Now.

As libertarians, I think we agree -- if you don't like the conditions where you are, go somewhere else!

[Yankee]

I'd like to see his name on a toe-tag as he's packed in pig entrails.

Kinda looks like Woody Allen with PMS.

[Roy Tucker]

Christians are over a billion as are Hindus. Who is he kidding? I think he is seeking his Warholian 15 seconds of fame. I hope he is now on the FBI watch list.

[Sueann]

Excuse me? I have a question? Why is the idiot living in my country?? Please pack his bag and give him a one-way ticket to Afghanistan!! There we will bomb him and his troubles will be over!!

[lost desert fox]

What a line of crap....this guy does need some help. It's a wonder he is still living here. If he goeing to his new homeland, this ex-wife will be out any form of support and the tax payers will get stuck with the bill of raising his kid.

[river rat]

Someone please tell that silly looking clymer - that he doesn't have to go to Afghanistan to fight Americans -- I volunteer to be his "target" right here in America...

I'll have that damned pig sticker of his - up his stupid ass before he can say Taliban.

It appears that all those Radical Islamic "fundamentalists" are ignorant to the point of being dangerous to themselves and others..... Perhaps extermination is the only solution.
Semper Fi

What was that other waste of a Life from Portland Maine's Name. You know the DUI Thing.

Before you go there, get a load of this! This clown tried to buy weapons and applied for a job refueling airplanes at the Portland International Jetport, where two terrorists started their day on Sep 11.

Hello! INS! Anybody awake there?!

[Revolting cat!]

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

First of all, this is nothing but an infinitely recycled cliche. We can hear it without anyone saying or typing it.

But OK now, so are there any statements which would not be protected by the First Amendment? And what if anything can, should be considered treason?

[Protagoras]

A statement that this yahoo will slit your mama's throat if given half the chance, is a little stronger than mere "unpopularity." .

I can't find this threat anywhere in the story.

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

He clearly takes his own chances when he says some of the things he has said. I can't find any specific threats there against anyone particular, but it sure does bring out the other nuts when you incite people with this kind of rhetoric. That however does not negate his 1st amendment rights and anyone who takes illegal action against him is violating those rights.

I like the idea of helping him leave the country for his beloved Islamic world. We could take up a collection and use it to provide him with one way fare out of the country in return for him denouncing his US citizenship and voiding any chance to return. Other who feel similarly could be helped to do so as well under the same conditions. I'm sure raising the money would not be a problem.
