In middle school, Ahmed said, he had been called "bombmaker" and a "terrorist."

"Just because of my race and my religion," he said, adding that when he walked into the room where he was questioned, an officer reclined in a chair and remarked, "That's who I thought it was."

"I took it to mean he was pointing at me for what I am, my race," the freshman explained.

Ahmed is not going back to MacArthur -- he's transferring to another school, his father Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed said. The family has not yet picked a new school for Ahmed, he said, and is exploring options inside and outside of the country.

His next school....

That would defeat the purpose of the hype. Zero tolerance zero intelligence school treated this guy the same.

I know, but maybe a nice civil war will break out and all the problem children can be dealt with at once.

[FourtySeven]

The family is exploring other options including a school "outside of the country"?

Works for me.

Works for me too. There are probably some schools in Indonesia where he'd fit right in. Learn all about the religion of piece. Then, when he's done he could come back and be President of the U.S.

His pal Obama could probably point him in the right direction there.

Downside: He comes back making jihadi bombs, complete with explosives.

[Company Man]

On the off chance anyone is coming in late to this, please understand he did not make a clock. The kindest thing you can say is that he took the guts from a cheap alarm clock like you would get from a drugstore or Wallymart, and remounted same in a small briefcase of some kind. Whoopee. Way to showcase your soldering skill, Ahmed!

I completely agree with others who have stated it was a provocative feint.

“The fact that Obama wants him in Washington just boggles the mind.”

The fact Obama wants him in Washington tells me this was planned out in advance.

Idiot-believes the Islamic death cult is a race.

Yes, it is a race with the devil!

[pfflier]

He may be there already. Build a fence to keep him out if he goes. Shoot him if he tries to sneak back in.

Achmed's moslem clock, a real suitcase bomb and a Syrian IED: that stupid infidel English teacher couldn't tell the difference?

Are you serious? You think those are those are the only configurations of bombs possible? So, put up an example of the shoebomber, or the underwearbomber to provide more context.

With plastique explosives, bombs can be made in most any size or shape.

What was that song title?

We fired our guns & the terrorists went a runnin’,
There wasn’t quite as many as there was a while ago.

We fired once more & they commenced a runnin’,
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico!

Signed,
Mean Twinkie

Leave it by a highway and shut down a city for a few hours.

[FourtySeven]

Good post.

For all those who insist “it was just a pencil case” look at the known bomb in the lower left corner. It fits quite nicely in the palm of a hand doesn’t it?

And what 14 year old kid uses a “pencil case” for crying out loud? Anyone here seriously think he thought it would somehow look better in a case that resembled a metal briefscase, only SLIGHTLY smaller?

Yea it looked “better” all right. It looked MORE LIKE A BOMB! So it looked “better”, if his intent was to make people think his “clock” was a bomb!!

"Just because of my race and my religion,"

Nope, it's not about your race. It's all about your religion. But you're on the fast track to being a DemocRAT, because everything is about race to them.

[trisham]

No doubt.

[LeonardFMason]

Why a clock? For what reason would he design a clock? And why in a briefcase?

[Trailerpark Badass]

Because humanity has been crying out for a briefcase clock. The kid’s a visionary! He even impressed Obastard.

[Trailerpark Badass]

And the Facebook idiot savant.

and is exploring options inside and outside of the country.

The Islamabad Bomb Making Institute got very good reviews in Jihad Weekly.

So now I suppose if my studious and crafty son tapes a few road flares together, and then glues a digital clock to them he is good to take them to school with no consequences and will get an invite to see the potus? That will be the best show and tell ever...
