NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- William Chrisman had three wives and nine children to support, he had a felony criminal record, and he struggled with panic attacks. Nevertheless, after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, he was determined to assist the federal government. He became an informant for the FBI, and his work helped authorities charge two men -- both Muslim converts, like Chrisman -- who were suspected of supporting terrorism.
One of them, Derrick Shareef, 23, pleaded guilty Wednesday to plotting to set off grenades in an Illinois shopping mall. The other, Hassan Abujihaad, a former Navy sailor, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he gave terrorists secret information about the location of Navy ships and ways to attack them. The role of Chrisman, 34, a former gang member, was revealed last week during a hearing...
Chrisman left gang life more than a decade ago and converted to Islam while in prison for attempted armed robbery and possession of a stolen car. Now a sheep farmer in Illinois, Chrisman said that he had wanted to join the military since the 1991 Persian Gulf War, but that his criminal record prevented him from enlisting. After the Sept. 11 attacks, he walked into an FBI office and offered his services. Since then, he has helped out on several cases....

Chrisman says the arrangement was not unusual, since Muslims are supposed to offer shelter for three days.

Wonder where they got their info?
From his testimony in this court procedure.
“Chrisman … converted to Islam while in prison. Now a sheep farmer in Illinois, …” And the guy has three wives? Isn’t that bigamy?
How come Mohammedans can get away with having 3 wives and other religions can’t?
Other religions i.e. Christianity and Judiasm, follow the law - "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are God's ..."
That’s not the question. The question is why doesn’t the government enforce the law when Mohammedans break it? It’s enforced against other religions.
“After the Sept. 11 attacks, he walked into an FBI office and offered his services. Since then, he has helped out on several cases....”
Huh? So all I have to do is walk into an FBI agent and I can help catch terror scum????
