Subject:Identifying Arabic English query

My question is this one: is there a pattern to English of which Arabic  
was the original? Can one detect the style of the originator with  
computational linguistics?
 
Please see my site http://arabia.freehosting.net/decoding.htm. If an
entropy program were run on this English, could one
classify the English as British, American or Arabian?
 
PS. Can one detect the style of Osama bin Laden from
the English translation by linguistic classification?
