The Texas boy arrested for bringing to school a homemade clock that was mistaken for a bomb is moving to Qatar, his family said on Tuesday, a few hours after he was at the White House for an astronomy night hosted by President Barack Obama.

Ahmed Mohamed, 14, a bespectacled ninth-grader who became an Internet sensation for an arrest that supporters said was influenced by bias against his Muslim religion, has accepted an offer from the Qatar Foundation to study at its Young Innovators Program.

"This means, that we, as a family, will relocate to Qatar where Ahmed will receive a full scholarship for secondary and undergraduate education," his family said in a statement.

No, they would never let someone board a plane with a similar “creation”.

Qatar is pronounced gutter. That’s where they’ll find him.

Until now, I never heard that part of the story, either.

RetiredTexasVet is right. Sure enough, here’s a story about this boy’s history at the school:

This dweebe didn’t even make the clock.

He just disassembled a commercial clock and put it in a box.

Affirmative action genius.

You can bet Obama is very sympathetic and had no desire for this little Muslim terrorist and his crumby family to leave the country.

My bet is they got a lot of unwelcome attitudes from their fellow citizens in TX. Maybe even threats.

I’m sure he will make a wonderful Bomb Maker when he Graduates.

He can name his first Nuke either “Little Barack” or “Fat Obama”.

May he be stabbed in the buttocks with a rusty ice pick.

>> “Are you kiddng? No one could take that hoax bomb on an airplane” <<

Very true.

Three years ago I was boarding a flight to Peru, and I had a “Hulda Clark” zapper in my luggage. The screener opened my bag and asked what it was. I told him, but he wasn’t satisfied, so he called his supervisor out to look at it.

I almost died laughing when his super pulled one similar to mine out of his jacket pocket and smiled big to his dummy helper.

If they move to Qatar will Clockhmed and his family be able to claim dual citizenship valid for the rest of their lifetimes?

Someone please tell me "NO"!

Oh, how excellent; a place where he can polish his bomb making skills with proper guidance.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Clokmed's first invention after arriving in Qatar using indigenous resources. He is an incredible innovator.

[arthurus]

Good place for them.
