An unidentified man is shown in a FBI handout photo, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2001, taken from a passport confiscated during a raid in Detroit, Monday. The FBI is hoping to learn the identity of this individual through the release of this photo. During the raid, agents found a false visa, identification and immigration form in the name of Michael Saisa. They also found a "World Service Authority" passport and a U.S. Social Security Administration card in Saisa's name. The secretary of state's office on Wednesday could find no record of a Michael Saisa in Michigan. (AP Photo/FBI)
BTW, does anyone else remember the Fine Young Cannibals? I think this guy was their lead singer...Roland Gift?
ROTFLMAO!!! Dude, you are in rare form today! Thanks, I really needed to spew coffee and snot on my keyboard. (Actually, the laughter felt good!)

That's the problem with labeling "Arab" or "Middle Eastern" as a race. They are not a separate race. On the other hand, people native to that part of the world are classified as white or Caucasian in the US.
Gee, I don't know. Have they checked in the rusted out chevy's on blocks in your front yard? Or has your view from your plastic covered couch in your living room been blocked by the porch ceiling collapse that killed all your dogs?
Do we really need these bigoted remarks?
Isn't this the guy above???????????
Fugitive on FBI List Arrested
By MIKE ROBINSON, Associated Press Writer
CHICAGO (AP) - A Middle Eastern man on the FBI list of people wanted for questioning in the terrorism investigation was captured outside Chicago, the FBI said Thursday.
Nabil Al-Marabh, 34, was arrested Wednesday night in suburban Justice by police and FBI agents, FBI spokeswoman Mary Muha said. She said he was being held on a warrant issued in Boston in March for assault with a knife.
Federal agents had been looking for him since at least Monday. That day, they raided a Detroit house with Al-Marabh's name on the mailbox and arrested three men after discovering false visas, passports and other ID, as well as what appeared to be a diagram of an airport flight line.
The FBI list that Al-Marabh is on includes suspects, potential associates of the suspects, and potential witnesses related to the attacks, the FBI said.
No details of his capture were released.
While agents were in Detroit on Monday, Al-Marabh was in Three Oaks, in the southwestern corner of Michigan near the Indiana state line, getting a duplicate driver's license, state authorities said.
In December, Al-Marabh was convicted of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon - a knife - in Boston. He stabbed his roommate in the knee during an argument in May 2000.
He received a suspended sentence of six months, but he failed to comply with the terms of his probation when he did not show up for a meeting. On March 15, a warrant was issued for his arrest.
During the raid in Detroit on Monday, federal agents found a cache of documents and arrested Karim Koubriti, 23, Ahmed Hannan, 33, and Farouk Ali-Haimoud, 21, on charges of having false immigration papers. The men were identified as resident aliens from Morocco and Algeria.
Agents also found a planner with handwriting in Arabic, according to court papers. The planner included information about an American base in Turkey, the ``American foreign minister,'' and Alia Airport in Jordan, the FBI said.
Investigators also found what appeared to be a diagram of an airport flight line, including aircraft and runways, according to the court document, which did not identify the airport.
Hannan and Koubriti briefly worked as dishwashers for an airline catering company, LSG Sky Chefs, near the Detroit airport between May and June, the company said. More recently, they worked for Technicolor in Livonia, putting together cardboard boxes for shipping DVDs and videos.
The FBI did not say where Al-Marabh was from; his former landlord in the Boston area, Marian Sklodowski, said Al-Marabh told him he was Palestinian.
Al-Marabh lived from at least 1989 to 2000 in Massachusetts, and worked for Boston Cab Co., according to state driver's license records.
All four men hold chauffeur's licenses in Michigan, according to state records. Al-Marabh holds a commercial driver's license and is certified to transport hazardous materials. Koubriti and Al-Marabh also hold commercial driving license endorsements allowing them to drive trucks and other large vehicles.
LOL...he does sort of...maybe a filled out version of him.
Is that a ham sandwich he's eating?
Looks like raw meat to me!. . .
Bigoted? How about, rational discrimination?(That's the only place I have ever encountered mid-easterners. Albeit, I do live a secluded life.)
