#1 The government charged Umar with gun possession, saying he was not allowed to have one because he had been convicted in 1971 of possession of a dangerous weapon.

A 2/5/2003 article in the Wall Street Journal

Over a quiet dinner at an Indian restaurant in upstate New York, Warith Deen Umar offered his views of Islam and the Sept. 11 attacks. The hijackers should be honored as martyrs, he said. The U.S. risks further terrorism attacks because it oppresses Muslims around the world. "Without justice, there will be warfare, and it can come to this country, too," he said.

Another abject failure to connect dots the size of Rhode Island.

#3 I wonder what the sentence would have been for a white Baptist truck driver with a 35 year old weapon possesion rap.
But that's almost besides the point - waving an EMPTY shotgun around in a Bronx rental building could easily qualify someone for a Darwin Award.

#4 From the WSJ article
Imam Umar -- born Wallace Gene Marks and later known as Wallace 10X

I'd like to to see the route from the Indian Restaurant in Upstate NY from the WSJ article to the the building he "owns" in the Bronx in the Post article. Money he had a usual crash house in between trips

Did he sign the lease Wallace 10x?
