Last week, Muslim 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed made national news after being detained by police for bringing a deconstructed clock to his Texas school. The clock, to inexpert eyes, looked like a bomb. Ahmed's English teacher thought so and called the police; when they questioned Mohamed, he reportedly stonewalled them. They released him after realizing that the device posed no threat and was not meant as a hoax explosive.
But this being Barack Obama's America, that didn't end the story.
The boy's father, a self-proclaimed anti-Islamophobia activist, decided to make a federal case out of his kid's detainment. He called his son's brief detention in an air conditioned room "torture." He called in the terrorism-linked Council on American Islamic Relations to protest Ahmed's treatment. When he reached the police station, he insisted that the police leave handcuffs on his son so that the boy's sister could take pictures. Then, when Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban called up Ahmed to deliver his sympathies and began asking questions about the situation, Ahmed's sister fed him the answers.
None of those details made the press, however. The media simply played the story as a pure case of Islamophobia, a targeted attack on an innocent young Muslim genius who "invented" a clock. Never mind that Ahmed no more "invented" the clock than my daughter "invented" my keyboard by dismantling it. Never mind that children across America have been suspended or even prosecuted for far less than bringing a device with bomblike appearance to school. Form your fingers into a gun, and go home with the threat of prosecution looming. Chew a pop tart into the shape of a firearm, and you can guarantee it'll go on your permanent record.
But build a device that looks awfully like an IED, and so long as you're Muslim, the world will respond with outrage.
We have now come 180 degrees since Sept. 11. In the aftermath of that attack, we vowed we would not be hit again. To prevent that from happening, we told ourselves that if we saw something, we would say something; we also vowed to put political correctness to the side when it came to protecting safety. Now, we'll say something if we see something, unless that something is a suspicious act with regard to a possible explosive held by a young Muslim male.
When a 16-year-old black girl brought a science experiment to school several years back in Florida, she was arrested; Barack Obama didn't say a word, because she wasn't Muslim. But Ahmed now looks forward to a trip to the White House for breaking down an old clock and then getting testy with the police. This is America, post-frontal lobotomy. While we can all recognize and celebrate that Ahmed won't be going to jail, the treatment of Ahmed's case by the president and the press ensure that next time a young Muslim student brings a suspicious object to school, administrators will ignore it for fear of career-ending consequences.
And next time, that suspicious object may not be a disassembled clock.
We stepped through the Looking Glass when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. We’ve traveled further and further away from normal reality since.
Excuse you, Leftist journalist? As a Muslim, he by definition seeks to murder or convert all non-Muslims. He brought a fake bomb to the classroom to get others to let their guard down, and you FELL FOR IT? How does it feel to fall victim to simplistic exhibitions of taqqiya?
As this story began to veer away from the leftists PC narrative it was dropped almost immediately with no apologies or retractions. I wonder if Obama will still have the little Muslim boy “genius” and his activist dad over at the Whitehouse when they return from their pilgrimage to the Middle East?
Nope, not celebrating that. After his visit to the White Mosque, I want to see charges brought against his political agitator dad for conspiracy to make terrorist threats. Unfortunately, the little snot will get off scot-free.
The primary reason that this so called “science experiment” was scrutinized has little to do with 9/11 and if a child looks Muslim and everything to do with Columbine. Remember Columbine?
It is ironic that people and mostly Liberals were okay with all of the restrictions on students in school and all of the anti-bullying education and removing all references to guns and even punishing students who point their fingers at other students and yell “bang-bang.”
Hey Liberals, welcome to the post Columbine era. Get used to it like the rest of us have been forced to.
Shapiro’s usually better than that.
This is a PLANNED hoax, to embarrass or “get back at” Beth Van Duyne, Mayor of Irving TX, for her leading of the “Anti-Sharia Law” vote in the town earlier this year.
It clearly was planned in advance, from the type of clock used, to the background of the father, to the immediate response from the White House.
Yes, you’ve probably seen this before. I’ve gone back into it and brought it up to date because it will only grow worse until we rid ourselves of the PC/tolerance/diversity Kool-Aid drinkers and traitors in Washington. (As I write this, at least ONE traitor has pulled the pin: Boehner is leaving Congress — probably because all that congressy stuff was cutting into his drinking — but not by all that much.) Thank you, Lord. Now, it’s on to McConnell!!!
Pray for America as never before!
THE TIP OF THE SPEAR
“Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” Winston Churchill
Since the tragic events of 911, I have spent more time than I ought trying to understand what many – too many – foolishly refer to as the “religion” of Islam.
That has led me to a more intense study of Nazism, Communism, Maoism and other tyrannical political/economic/legal systems.
And THAT has led me to conclude that of the three named above – all of which exacted a terrible human toll – Islam is by far the most dangerous because, of them, only Islam holds itself out to be a “religion”.
As fanatical as the Nazis, Communists and Maoists were – and, of those now among us here in America, the communists who now call themselves “socialists” and “progressives” (all Democrats) – the mindless fervor of the more radical Muslims eclipses all but the more radical “progressives” by orders of magnitude.
But what about the “moderate” Muslims? As several authors correctly observe, they are “irrelevant” as they fail to condemn the murderous radicals. And if the radicals succeed in their quest to dominate the world with their “caliphate”, these so called moderates – who profess to embrace the words of the Koran and the verses calling for the murder of the infidel “wherever he is found” – would quickly swing in behind the crazies to avail themselves of the worldly fruits of their victory.
There are Western parallels to the current Muslim rampage.
Putting aside the frequently dredged up activities of the oligarchs, industrialists, war profiteers Zionists, New World Order crowd and the rest, when America has gone to war, it has been generally understood that we did so to either protect legitimate American national interests or to assist treaty partners under assault by invaders. And those American forces involved in actual combat have been a small percentage of our overall population. The military term for that is “the tip of the spear.” Despite the expected wartime disruptions and accelerated production activities, most Americans were behind those war efforts and could be viewed as analogous to the “moderates” among the Muslims of today.
The Muslim forces now murdering their way across the Middle East and now into Europe are also a fraction of the peoples from that area. So far as we can tell, the majority of other Muslims in that part of the world are those “moderates” referred to above.
Here’s where the parallel ends: When Americans defeated the forces that took us to war, we brought most of our folks home and tried to resume our normal national life, generally leaving the vanquished to resume theirs after attempting to share with them the principles and benefits of the system of economic and individual freedom that makes America unique and, Obama’s protestations to the contrary, exceptional. With the tragic exception of Germany after WWI, we have even helped rebuild the areas in which the conflict raged.
And here is the MOST significant departure from OUR foreign conflicts: OURS have been waged to preserve our freedoms and to establish greater freedoms for those whom we defeated. Islam’s goal is PHYSICAL, MORAL AND SPIRITUAL DOMINATION and those who RESIST ARE TO BE MURDERED!
If Islam should prevail in the current and escalating battle, because their Koran COMMANDS Muslims to DOMINATE THE EARTH, sure as God made little green apples, it IS coming, that bloody physical battle will be waged ON OUR SOIL. A far larger proportion of otherwise noncombat Americans will be involved because, like the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the War Between the States, IT WILL BE FOUGHT AROUND AND AMONG US.
None will be spared.
Which brings me to a recent media “non-event” that just occurred. Senator Jeff Sessions warned Obama and Kerry to reexamine their insane plan to import up to 100,000 UNVETTED Muslim “refugees”. Senator Sessions used the term “POTENTIAL TERRORIST ARMY” in his remarks. I can’t recall ANY nation whose “leaders” sought to invite potential enemy combatants to its shores, let alone PAY them once in.
A senior statesman like Sessions does not lightly use such language unless he knows something a sad number of Americans either do not or, heads in the sand (or elsewhere) and because they prefer “diversity and tolerance” to freedom, choose to ignore. That phrase probably had a great deal to do with the blackout of his comments by the PC infected “progressive” news whores.
All of which has caused me – and others who have not been cowed by political correctness into a cowardly and, eventually, deadly silence – to offer that there IS NO RADICAL ISLAM: THERE IS JUST ISLAM and ALL of its adherents pose a threat to those who are not.
THINK ABOUT IT...THEN START RAISING HELL WITH THE PUSILLANIMOUS WIMPS NOW THE RULE AMONG THE POLITICAL ELITES!!
And if you believe my remarks to be too strong, rash and politically incorrect, spend 40 minutes here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjBDDC4wVxk with Dr. Bill Warner.
(Don’t be concerned that the first 5 minutes is a low key by Dr. Warner for his books. If not interested in that section, at least sample it to see how thorough is the man’s research. If you’ll run the slider out just past minute 5, you’ll be into the red meat of this important presentation.)
I know I’ve titled this “The Tip of the Spear”. To drive the point home more vividly, I should have called it “The Blade of the Beheading Sword”.
Perhaps Dr. Warner can convince you that we REALLY ARE LITERALLY in for the fight of our lives.
If that’s supposed to be a “clock”, how does one tell what time it is? What purpose does it serve?
If someone comes up with a way to do that, short of pitchforks and torches, I am all ears.
The PC movement, as I call it, is the direct result of the progressive liberal movement and has now accelerated due to social media.
But it's just a symptom of the disease. The disease can only be doctored by a change of mind and thus a change in direction.
That's not going to happen because part of the liberal philosophy (if you want to call it that) is to be totally close minded and intolerant of any other opinion.
So the disease has to cure it's self, like a virus. It has to burn it's self out, so to speak, by destroying it's own ability to reproduce it's self.
Whether or not the host survives is really the only thing we can address today and tomorrow..
Try to save the host (the country) while the disease destroys it's self.
I don't think there will be much left, but I can envision that the Constitution will still be relevant, even amid the destruction of everything else.
It has a digital display...
He disassembled a store bought alarm clock and arranged the components, (still hooked up) in a pencil box..
If he had used a clock radio, he could have listened to Rush on it....LOL
A clock is exactly what it is - he took an alarm clock out of its case and put it in a box.
In other words, it was an obvious, deliberate hoax.
You've seen zillions of clocks like this (/snix)
His older sister was suspended for being accused of wanting to blow up the school. There’s an earlier thread today on FR. Imagine that. Two muslim siblings here on visas with such a daddy. What are the odds they’re all innocent victims.
Some people cannot tell the difference between your run of the mill laminated core step down transformer and an explosive...
The father obviously planned this.
