    NJ.com (http://bit.ly/1KzdnQ5 ) reports 21-year-old Rizek Musheisen, of Clifton, entered the plea Monday in state Superior Court. He faces two counts of bias intimidation.

    Authorities say Musheisen got out of a car in April in front of a Passaic synagogue and lit the firecrackers while yelling the Arabic phrase for “God is great.”

    Musheisen’s attorney, Harley Breite, says his client “is not a racist” and won’t consider a plea deal. He remains free on bail.

    Breite also questioned why other men in the car, including the driver, weren’t charged.

    “Musheisen’s attorney, Harley Breite, says his client “is not a racist” “

    So what is Breite definition of a racist if not some one who targets Jews and hurls insults and throws firecrackers to cause panic and possible injury?
