He was only arrested because of his name, If his name was Steve he would be term a genius. Little Ahmed + clock = Bomb Little Steve + Clock = Genius He is going to make cool bucks for himself to further his study if he sue the teacher, The school and probably the police. 11 Likes 1 Share |

kenny987: AHMED MOHAMED made a clock and he's a terrorist DYLANN ROOF killed nine people but its ok he's mentally ill. Moreover before the police got involved the Principal and Others must have checked the clock out including the science teacher but they decided to call on police cuz He's a MUSLIM and a BLACK. 4 Likes 1 Share

If you can't make any sense from Kenny987 comment then you stay quiet rather than displaying how ignorant you are. Can you point out from her post the reason for your barking? OtunbaJega: |

Perhaps the name was what made them swoop in on the young kid (even though that wasn't stated as the reason) but will you blame them for being too careful going by the recent terrorist activities being carried out by minors. Would you take chances if you noticed any suspicious movement around you by some northern minors with hijab on knowing that they've been used for suicide bombings in recent times? Would you? uniklinkum: 1 Like |

How many whites have you heard of going haywire shooting in public compared to countless number of minors been used as suicide bombers? Of course you won't blame them for giving the benefit of doubt to the white male because it's a rare occurrence and they believe something must be wrong somewhere for him (white male) to do such. But can you say that for someone with Ahmed Mohammed as a name? Terrorism, suicide bombings and other such unthinkable evil is associated with people with such names. So I won't blame them for reacting the way they did. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the young kid is a terrorist. Investigation has revealed that he actually made a clock uniklinkum: |

[quote author=zeestunner post=38094527][/quote] When you have your own country you are free to screen whoever you chose. It's the USA and they chose to screen anyone with the name Mohammed. I would too n still have a father that is a Muslim. It's might not be fair to your reasoning but I am 100% positive they are justified in their reasoning for not taking anything for granted. |

This is more reason why I don't stereotypically accept all the gibberish that is being said about America and Americans. You always have the good side and the bad side in every nation. Depending on your own kind of individuality, you only focus on the side that best suits you - the good or the bad. Just take a look at the reactions of people to this issue. They know the problem, yet they don't dwell on it but decided to take concrete action to neutralize its effect. No blame-gaming, no trading of words, no political party shenanigans, etc. Every one that matters condemn the act in a subtle way without necessarily hurting the other side. That's to me quite fantastic. We are human, we have our positive and negative sides. They could have decided to ignore the issue because of the boy's race, religion or status. But they choose to celebrate his ingenuity and probably boost his morale. Kudos |

ayokellany: Bros am not saying they shouldn't buh common hw many kids have terrorist killed in the US compared to the number white phycos have killed? The point is if u wanna take action then do it to everybody white folks to be checked for arms when they want access to some public places to be on a safe side too amean no life is worthless everybody deserve to be secure shebi? Its this sort of stereotying of black males in america that has led to a lot of young black livies lost or incarcerated they think all black guys are gangbangers. Am not a muslim buh I hate when people stereotype others |

Science, U.S. News White kid builds nuclear reactor and Homeland Security offers help Travis Gettys 16 Sep 2015 at 14:17 ET Taylor Wilson (TED) Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story! A Muslim teenager built a simple clock out of electronic components and took it to show his engineering teacher at school — but he was arrested when another teacher thought it looked like a bomb and alerted administrators. Police in Irving, Texas, never suspected the device was an explosive device and did not alert the bomb squad, but they still arrested 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed because he could offer no “broader explanation” for his clock besides describing it as a device that measures time. When another 14-year-old boy built a nuclear reactor at his parents’ home he was invited to meet with officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Energy — who offered their expert assistance, equipment and encouragement to apply for a research grant. READ MORE: The mayor of Ahmed Mohamed’s town is a well-known conservative folk hero for fighting fake Muslim ‘threats’ Taylor Wilson, who is white, entered his nuclear fusion reactor five years ago in a series of science fairs that eventually won him a trip to Switzerland, where he toured the Large Hadron Collider — the world’s largest particle accelerator. Wilson, now 21 years old, later won $50,000 at a science fair for an anti-terrorism device he invented that can detect nuclear materials in cargo containers. He demonstrated that device to President Barack Obama at another science fair organized at the White House. The president also invited Mohamed to visit him at the White House after the Muslim teen’s story sparked national outrage over an apparent double standard. A black Florida teen was arrested and expelled in April 2013 after her science fair experiment, which involved mixing toilet bowl cleaner and aluminum foil in a plastic water bottle, created a chemical reaction that resulted in a firecracker-like “pop” and some smoke. The reaction caused no injuries or damage, but the principal of Bartown High School feared the device had violated school policies. Police charged Kiera Wilmot, then 16, with possession and discharge of a weapon on school grounds and with discharging a destructive device. The honors student was eventually cleared of charges and went to the U.S. Space Academy after a NASA veteran heard about her story and paid for scholarships for Wilmot and her twin sister. |
