Bill Maher Does Not Stand With Ahmed Mohamed: Young Muslims ‘Blow S--- Up’ (contains profanity)
Uproxx ^ | September 19, 2015 | Kimberly Ricci

Posted on 09/19/2015 7:41:08 PM PDT by EveningStar

On Wednesday, the Internet rallied support for a bright 14-year-old boy, Ahmed Mohamed, who was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school. Ahmed was proud of his invention, but school officials and police in Irvine, Texas, did not feel the same way. Ahmed found support from big leaguers like President Obama, who tweeted his well wishes, and the original clockmaster himself, Flavor Flav, who told the world to “STOP clock blocking.” Everyone loves Ahmed except for Bristol Palin and — you guessed it — Bill Maher.

On Friday evening’s episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, the host assured his panel that he would not be throwing the #IStandWithAhmed hashtag anytime soon. Maher believes Ahmed deserves an apology from school officials, but he knows why this happened: “People at the school thought it might be a bomb … because it looks exactly like a f---ing bomb.” Maher’s statement was met with instantaneous audience laughter.

Please see my post #38 on this. When it comes to opposing radical islam, Maher is consistent, fiercely consistent.

He is unique in Hollywood in that regard. He is, in fact, so fierce on the issue I'm surprised no one has tried to do him harm.

I hear that in Teheran, they take gay folk to tall buildings and duplicate Galileo’s experiments on gravity done in Pisa. Too bad Mr Sulu doesn’t think of that.

It has the appearance of a “dry run” which is protocol for muslims. I hope the cops are having a little chat with the science wizard's father to see what, if any input he had into this fun-loving, harmless science experiment.

There’s a hierarchy of pretense, apparently. The gays go under the bus for the muslims.

Could this be where the modern expression “off the wall” comes from?

In a saner USA the FBI would be bidden to look into this. You think they will do squat while Barack is still king?

George Takei voiced support for the kid, said he was the victim of racism,

Leave it to an ignorant old queen to think that muslim is a race. Hey Sulu, I'll believe muslim is a race when you reproduce with another fudgepacker!

I think it's interesting that the kid took that "clock" (where are the numbers?) to every single teacher until one of them finally reacted.

Clearly, this was a set-up.

When it comes to radical islam, Maher is consistent, and he really, really gets it.

He's the only liberal I can honestly say is consistent, and actually applies liberal values to Islam.

It totally looked like a bomb. But the teacher is a racist islamophobe for not knowing something that looks like a bomb is really a clock! So much for “if you see something, say something”’. Guess that’s out the window.

Ahmed was proud of his invention

Moving the innards of an old clock into a different box? That's an invention?

When I was a kid, I mounted the contents of a battery-powered radio inside a clear plastic case. I hooked up a solar cell for power and drilled a bunch of holes so the speaker could be heard.

The thing looked nice and it worked when placed in sunlight.

Does that mean I invented a radio?

He was going from period to period. Different classrooms

I understand that. If it was a science project, why didn't he wait until he got to science class?

Where were all the other student's 'science projects' ?

Has anyone asked the science teacher if he knew anything about a 'science project' ?
