The Muslim teenager arrested for bringing his home-made clock into school which teachers claimed ‘looked like a bomb’ has said he will go to the White House to visit Barack Obama after the President extended an invite to him earlier in the day.

Ahmed Mohamed, 14, received messages of support from across the globe today after an image of him being handcuffed and escorted out of MacArthur High School, in Irving, Texas, went viral.

Among the outpouring of sympathy was a message from Obama inviting Ahmed to bring his clock to the White House, an offer that the teenager said he would accept this evening.

Speaking at a press conference on CBS, Ahmed also thanked Obama, Democrat Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for their messages of support, saying he is ‘pleased’ they oppose what happened to him.

He was invited cos he was handcuffed not because he made a clock.
But yes Nigerian GOVt need to encourage science and technology inshort Education and research .

Every one is try hard to act non-racist !
Edited: That boy is luck key.

He was just fortunate to have gotten out of that school alive. were it to be a bad day, he could have been shot dead like Michael Brown before been asked any question. Mighty glad he was invited though, but does he not have any other T-shirt aside from that NASA Jersey he's been wearing since he was arrested? Just hope Mark Zuckerberg has not influenced his sense of fashion.
