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.

Uhhh, would you hire a guy that looks like this, and carries a sword?
"Isanu Dyson"...yeah right! Who does he think he's kidding?? Let's burn all the remaining Cat Stevens records leftover after his last scandal!
It's NOT Maine!
It's Portland, AKA Northern Massachusetts!
I'd be happy to "interview him"!!!
On topic, I think it it would be revealing to find out how he's living in an apartment, paying bills, buying food, without being employed. Where's the money coming from....the government...other sources?
Of course, looking at the photos of the Taliban and hearing their statements and seeing how they treat women, perhaps, that's the main problem of all fundamentalist Muslims.
You'd be hard pressed to convice me that these men are the only two out there, and others like them do not deserve to be punished along with our enemies. But, if the Arab/Muzlim American communities don't start turning out the evil among them, they will be.
Treason is an action rather than just talking. What he is doing would be more along the line of sedition.
It would be helpful if we would declare war. I have no idea why it is to Bush's advantage not to declare war. Congress was willing and Bush asked them not to.
That would be an interesting string to pull. What about being in a declared war is disadvantageous to the presidency?
And I bet he thinks he's exercising his "Constitutional rights" by exercising the 1st Amendment. Didn't he say that he's a Muslim-American first? Then those rights should not apply to him any longer. Time to take him to Ft Bragg so he can do some situps at the 100 meter mark on the M-16 qualification range. That's good exercise for him.
They've got the drive and resolve, and a substantial lot of them lack the brains which would get in the way. There are no doubt plenty who would happily kill a mosque full of traitors, and then line up nice and orderly to be executed by the government(s) of the nation they were "defending", seeing themselves as martyrs all the while. An interesting parrallel to the Muzlim suicide bombers.
Get the f*** out of our country, or I'll do ya myself.
Make sure you post the article when and if it happens.
Just tell me, why this F^@&!#& Islamic Scholar is not telling this nut case, that JEHAD is bad and it is not part of ISLAM?
Those Portland cops ought to be looking for the anthrax, because it could well be in their midst.
Bin Laden is connected to a Boston biotech firm, Hybridon. Bin Ladens own stake in Massachusetts biomedical firm. While the original culture was probably obtained from Iraq, I believe the anthrax we're hearing about now was probably grown at Hybridon in Boston. Atta and Alomari (or Atta and al-Shehhi) arrived in Boston on the Sunday before the hijackings. I believe that Atta and Alomari (or Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi, as this article contends) were supposed to pick up the anthrax in Boston and deliver it to a cell in the vacinity of Portand, Maine, probably on the Monday before the hijackings. I believe that something went wrong and the anthrax wasn't quite ready for delivery
The two men remained there until a few hours before the hijackings, when they rented a car and drove from Boston to Portland. They then flew back from Portand to Boston, arriving just in the nick of time to catch the flights they hijacked. article here.
I believe they delivered the antrax to a cell somewhere between Boston and the vicinity of Portland, Maine.
As a side note, I suspect the Portland article is right about the identity of the second man being al-Shehhi rather than Alomari. I live in the Virginia Beach, Va. area; and our local news did a few stories about Atta and al-Shehhi registering here at a local hotel at least twice in the year before the hijackings.
At any rate, this Dyson is definitely part of the terror network.
