– As the world rose up in support of 14-
year-old Ahmed Mohamed, the MacArthur High
School student who was arrested for bringing a
homemade clock to school, the situation has
been regarded as a blow to bigotry industry, as
this resulted in creating a young Muslim hero.
"Seeing what he went through -- it starts out
with sheer enthusiasm and pride with what
he's created, and so proud of what he did when
he took it to show it to the teacher -- and to see
it just turn in that direction was just really sad,"
Musaab At-Taras, vice president of engineering
at Palo Alto mobile payments company Poynt
and formerly with PayPal and eBay, told San
Jose Mercury News.
"All of us in the industry look back on what triggered us to
get involved in technology. You relate. That sense of
accomplishment," the longtime Silicon Valley tech worker
said.
"You see things in a way other people don't. This kid is
impressive and people around him don't realize it."
The Irving Muslim student was arrested by Dallas police
after his school claimed that he tried to make a bomb.
He hoped to impress his teachers by his one of his most
elaborate creations that consists of a circuit board and
power supply wired to a digital display, all strapped inside a
case with a tiger hologram on the front.
After his English teacher and principal reported him to
police, Ahmed was arrested and was also pulled out of sixth
period.
At the police station, the Muslim teen was interrogated by
four police officers, before being released. However, he was
suspended for three days from his school.
#IstandwithAhmed has begun trending on social media and
has drawn support not just from the United States, but the
rest of the world.
The incident shed light on the Islamophobia makers, one of
them is Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne who faces huge
criticism as being a fear-monger who stokes the flames of
Islamophobia by supporting a law banning "Shariah law
court".
"We believe this is a gross overreaction to the situation that
wouldn't have happened if his name wasn't Ahmed
Mohamed," Ibrahim Hooper, communications director of the
Council on American-Islamic Relations, told Police Mic.
In addition to being kept without his legal right to have an
adult present, Hooper says Mohamed "clearly was made to
undergo a 'perp walk' in front of his classmates in
handcuffs and treated like a criminal."
Muslim Hero
As the school administrators, police and city
officials defended their position, thousands of
social media users participated in
#IStandWithAhmed hashtag against bigotry and
discrimination.
The young Muslim's story resonated with the
most powerful nerds in the world.
"Having the skill and ambition to build
something cool should lead to applause, not
arrest," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in
a widely shared post on his social network.
"The future belongs to people like Ahmed."
Zuckerberg invited Ahmed to visit the Facebook
campus in Menlo Park.
Google promised to reserve him a spot at its
annual youth science fair in Mountain View this weekend.
Twitter offered him an internship and Box CEO Aaron Levie
also extended an invitation, insisting that the teen is really
an "enterprise software guy at heart."
Obama's White House invitation promised a meeting with
NASA scientists.
Having a passion for electronics, the teen makes his own
radios, repairs his own go-kart and on Sunday spent about
20 minutes before bedtime assembling the clock using a
circuit board, power supply wired to a digital display and
other items.
"When I was his age, I took everything apart, too, and tried
to make things," tweeted Grant Imahara, a former host of
Discovery's San Francisco-based "MythBusters" science TV
show.
"My room looked exactly like his with soldering iron,
computer, circuit boards. Some homemade, some cobbled
together."
Dawud Walid, the executive director of CAIR Michigan
chapter, said the identity of Muslims in America is directly
rooted in American history.
“Muslims have been in this country since the first enslaved
Africans were brought here. Muslims since then have
influenced the American way of life in particular relating to
our collective culture and our recognition of civil rights,”
Walid explained.
“Morocco (a Muslim nation) was the first country to
recognize the independence of America from Britain.
Thomas Jefferson explicitly recognized the religious rights
of Muslims.” |

10 MYTHS ABOUT INTROVERTS (By Carl King)
Myth #1 :
Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just
don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate
small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they
are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.
Myth #2 : Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with
being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of
people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t
interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to
an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being
polite.
Myth #3 : Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t
see a reason for beating around the bush with social
pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and
honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most
settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in,
which they find exhausting.
Myth #4 : Introverts don’t like
people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few
friends they have. They can count their close friends on
one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to
consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for
life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person
of substance, you’re in.
Myth #5 : Introverts don’t like to
go out in public. Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go
out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the
complications that are involved in public activities. They
take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result,
don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to
go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging
is absolutely crucial for Introverts.
Myth #6 : Introverts
always want to be alone. Introverts are perfectly
comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot.
They daydream. They like to have problems to work on,
puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if
they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with.
They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE
PERSON at a time.
Myth #7 : Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the
crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of
living. They think for themselves and because of that, they
often challenge the norm. They don’t make most
decisions based on what is popular or trendy.
Myth #8 :
Introverts are aloof nerds. Introverts are people who
primarily look inward, paying close attention to their
thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of
paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just
that their inner world is much more stimulating and
rewarding to them.
Myth #9 : Introverts don’t know how to
relax and have fun. Introverts typically relax at home or in
nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill
seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much
talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains
are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine.
Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-
pathways. Just look it up.
Myth #10 : Introverts can fix
themselves and become Extroverts. A world without
Introverts would be a world with few scientists, musicians,
artists, poets, filmmakers, doctors, mathematicians,
writers, and philosophers. That being said, there are still
plenty of techniques an Extrovert can learn in order to
interact with Introverts. (Yes, I reversed these two terms
on purpose to show you how biased our society is.)
Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for
their natural temperament and contributions to the human
race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the
percentage of Introverts increases with IQ. Are you an
introvert/extrovert? Which of the above don't you agree
with? |
