Take the money and run. With the huge windfall enjoyed by the Mohamed family -- of clock-bomb-arrest fame -- in “Islamophobic” America, one might think that little clock-maker extraordinaire Ahmed would head to Switzerland for an internship with Rolex. Instead, news is his whole family is moving to Qatar after the boy accepted a scholarship from the Qatar Foundation for Education. Because, you know, if you’re interested in pushing back scientific frontiers, the Islamic world is where you go. Now, Qatar is an interesting choice. Its official state religion is Wahhabi Islam -- this is also the dominant faith in...

Ahmed Mohamed, a 14-year-old teenager who rose to fame after he brought a disassembled clock that looked like a bomb into class, is moving to the Islamic supremacist nation of Qatar. […] Notably, the foundation sponsoring Mohamed’s residency in Qatar has been accused of funding the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas; leading the world famous soccer team Barcelona to dump its sponsorship deal with QF in 2014. … The teenager has often accused America of being a racist nation. […] But regardless of what Ahmed actually faced in America, he is virtually guaranteed to experience no anti-Muslim biases in Qatar. That’s...

At a press conference Tuesday morning outside the U.S. Capitol Building, Ahmed ”Clock Boy” Mohamed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, urged the president and Congress to amend the Constitution so that innocent people like his son would not be victimized by authorities ever again. Ahmed brought a suspicious-looking “homemade clock” into MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, last month, allegedly to impress his teachers. After refusing to cooperate with police, he was briefly arrested for bringing to school what authorities suspected was a “hoax bomb.” Congressman Mike Honda (D-CA) organized the press conference so Ahmed and his dad could turn his...

slamophobia due to his temporary detention by police as a result of bringing what he described as an innocent clock that he claims he "invented" to school, reveals more details of what actually happened. Based upon previous reports, he showed his "invention" to an engineering teacher in the morning. Who subsequently warned him that the device looked suspicious and not to show it to anybody else. Apparently rather than heed his warning, according to reports ,he then showed his 'invention" to teachers in the next six classes who voiced similar concerns to him. In the sixth period he apparently, without...

The family of the 14-year-old Muslim boy who was led out of school in handcuffs has hired attorneys to get back the homemade clock that administrators mistook for a bomb. Ahmed Mohamed was suspended after showing his clock to a teacher at his Irving, Texas, high school last week. His case sparked an outcry on social media and attracted the attention of President Obama and a number of tech companies who invited Ahmed to visit. His family said in a statement Wednesday that it had pulled Ahmed and his two siblings out of the Irving school district "because of religious...

Update 8:45 a.m. Tuesday: The district confirmed that Ahmed’s father met with the superintendent yesterday and requested to pull Ahmed out of the district. But technically, the Mohamed children are still on the rolls this morning, until some formalities are completed.

Last night, Irving Texas Mayor Beth Van Duyne revealed that the family of Ahmed Mohammed has repeatedly refused to meet with city officials, refused to released records exonerating police conduct, and that President Obama had tweeted about the case even before pictures of the so-called “clock” were publicly available. Appearing on Glenn Beck’s The Blaze TV, Van Duyne noted how reporting on the interaction between Mohammed and police had been remarkably one-sided, in part because the Mohammed family refused to release records noting: “As a juvenile, they can not release those records. The school district, a number of times, has...

The Science Is Settled: Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, Hillary Clinton, Apple's Steve Wozniak, Microsoft, and MIT, All Fooled By Ahmed's "Clock" Ahmed said he "invented" a "clock". In fact, all he did was take the workings of an existing clock out of it's casing, reassemble them part way, and then insert them into a Pencil Box. Here's a photograph of the "clock" Ahmed "invented". Now watch this video Now, I'd like you to think about something. Barack Obama was fooled by this. Mark Zuckerberg was fooled by this. Hillary Clinton was fooled by this. Apple's Steve Wozniak was fooled...

The original story was about a controversial package in a school setting, but it was quickly claimed to be a homemade clock. If so, the clock itself (not the presentation) might be cool as the White House said. If not, the world may be propping up a plagiarist who flaunted the piece of crap in an intentionally controversial way (suppositions). This video challenges that the clock was homemade by showing a nearly identical package being prepared in about twenty seconds (screws and simple fasteners were excluded for brevity here).
