| Fake ID artist plans innocent plea |
| 2002-08-21 |
| A man who went to Egypt last month while being investigated for allegedly providing fake IDs to two of the Sept. 11 hijackers returned to the United States voluntarily, his lawyer said Wednesday. Mohamed el-Atriss plans to plead innocent at his initial court appearance on state charges, scheduled for Friday in Paterson, said the lawyer, Hassen Abdellah. "I mean, the guy's an Arab, y'know? Fake IDs are a cultural thing. You wouldn't understand, but take my words for it..." |

| #4 I don't hate Arabs, Tony. But I do feel free to make fun of their unpleasant cultural traits, like being born with a fistful of fake IDs. I also feel free to point the finger at even less pleasant cultural traits, such as a demand for dire revenge for any and all slights, or their liking for cutting people's heads off. If they were Samoans or Norwegians or Veps, I'd still feel the same revulsion. |

| #1 Yo Fred, this Arab-hatred thing is lame. Chill out. Should we hate all White people too because Tim McVey was, ummm, White? Dah. I don't think so. |
