September 19, 2007 -- A Queens teen was arrested yesterday after placing fliers in his teachers' mailboxes asking them to convert to Islam - then made threats once he was caught, authorities said.

Yaseen Chowdhury, 17, of Woodside, wrote the fliers himself and put them in the mailboxes at the Renaissance Charter School in Jackson Heights, sources said.

When confronted there about the fliers, he made unspecified verbal threats, according to the sources.

Chowdhury was charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime.

A Department of Education spokesman did not return a call seeking comment.

The student's religion was not immediately known.

Uhmmmm, how about three guesses?

This battle between Islam and Judeo-Christianity over something that has not nor can be empirically proved, the existence of a higher power I mean, is doing none of us any good.  Good find.

Perhaps the defendant will use OJ's "I was conducting a sting" alibi.
