"Lieber Polizist, Ich bin Allah" (which, by the way, is perfectly natural sounding in German - it sounds stilted and awkward in translation) could have been the original, and we would never know it from the publicly released information.
For extra credit, where did several of the 9/11 terrorists live and study?
What? Holy cow! I hadn't heard this. No wonder it sounds so strange in English. Someone translated it that way. I've been following this as well as most around here, but not once have I heard this on tv. I admit I'm not reading the WashPost articles though. Guess I should be.
I'm really stunned by this now. How can anyone claim it's being done by kids playing video games, or someone local then?
They lived in Falls Church, Virginia, also known as "Little Mecca".
They studied at the Islamic Center of Northern Virginia, also in "Little Mecca".

I have not heard this - do you have a link?
Are you sure?!!!
A translation of your German into English would have still used the word Allah. Isn't the German for God "Gott"?
