Ahmed Mohamed, Teenage Terrorist

In Irving, Texas on Monday, High School student and 14 yr old Sudanese immigrant Ahmed Mohamed proudly brought his homemade “clock” to school. In a rabid bit of Islamophobia, his teacher feared the worst and in a gross overreaction, called the police. The police equally overreacted and Ahmed found himself under arrest. In order to highlight and educate against our biases, the President has invited Mr. Mohamed to the White House as a show of solidarity.

In the wake of this tragic misunderstanding, how can we, as Americans, learn to better deal with our inner racist programming and prejudices?

The above certainly is the intended narrative. Or, to put it another way, what a pant load of bunk!

Let’s consider the following:

1. Ahmed Mohamed’s father, Mohamed Mohamed (Ididn’t make that up) is an “anti-Islamaphobic” activist, whatever that might be. It sounds to me like young Ahmed grew up being incessantly exposed to the grievance industry.

2. Mr. Mohamed, Sr. is already taking to the airwaves denouncing the prejudices of the nation that took him in from Sudan. No good deed goes unpunished.

3. The White House missed no opportunity to beat the American public over the head with its race-baiting brand of social justice.

4. The “clock” was purposely made with exposed wires and contained within a pencil case that appeared to be a briefcase.

5. According to Ahmed, he’s been nicknamed since middle school as, variously, “bombmaker” and “terrorist”. Did he not understand that a clock attached to wires buried in a case would be misconstrued? Of course he did!

6. Most convincingly, according to police, part of the reason that took young Ahmed into custody was that he was being purposely evasive about the rationale for bringing this device to school, and about its intended purpose. Evasiveness is normally (not always) a sign of culpability. It certainly indicates that what transpired was anything but an innocent misunderstanding.

By all appearances, this whole event was a staged bit of agitprop. The Left specializes in using test cases to make its political arguments.

If this is a piece de political resistance, and it appears to be, then it is also an act of terror in and of itself. In order to capitalize on the display of this “clock”, those being shown device had to believe that it could be a bomb, and act appropriately. In doing so, young Ahmed was purposely attempting to create a panic. He didn’t bring a “clock” to school; he brought a fake bomb to school.

This act of trying to incite a panic is an act of terror. Young Ahmed, at last, has found validation from his classmates: he is indeed a terrorist. (I wonder if he and the President will fist bump in the Oval Office?)

The greatest concern from this event is what happens next time a budding Islamic terrorist student attempts to test the resolve of some school staff, somewhere. Will that staff now pause before taking appropriate action out of respect to political correctness? We wouldn’t want to offend the next young terrorist at one of our public schools, now would we?

By encouraging delaying the next time to take appropriate action, as a result of this time, are your children now potentially more at risk if the next fake bomb isn’t fake?

More to the point, the whole narrative of Homeland Security is now turned on its head: See Something, Say Something, You’re a racist!

Enjoy your government paid trip to the White House, young terrorist Ahmed! You’ve earned it.

Invited to the WH where the SS will check to make sure it is not a bomb.

Seems like an enemy islamist to me.

I just read an article where an individual with an engineering degree and background determined that this device was nothing more than a 70’s digital alarm clock that had been removed from its housing and installed in a pencil box available on Amazon. Kind of like a detonator a terrorist would make to set off a bomb.

Well said and I don't buy the over-reacting angle not does the Irving Republican mayor, the beautiful and brave Beth Van Duyne.

She held firm against the leftists by fearlessly stating:

We are proud to have one of the safest cities in the country and that is due in large part to the diligence and professionalism of our police department. We are also proud that Irving ISD is nationally recognized by the National School Board Association and the Center for Digital Education for the school districts use of innovative technologies, STEM curriculum, and other practices that help our students excel in an advanced learning environment.

I do not fault the school or the police for looking into what they saw as a potential threat. They have procedures to run when a possible threat or criminal act is discovered. They follow these procedures in the sole interest of protecting our children and school personnel.

Excellent post.

This was a set up to get attention and sue the school.

It looks nothing like a clock at all and why was it in a suitcase anyway.
Would he get stopped with this getting in the white house, or going through TSA? YES

The media are more bothered about this muslim kid than Christians being raped and killed while up to millions of muslims leave their countries to invade Europe.

This is still America where a Whole bunch of us take no crap from vermin. It won’t take more than a few dozen publicized incidents of these wastes of moslem flesh harming real Americans.

They only REALLY want you to “say something” if its a white gun owner, especially your neighbors and family members.

If only we had more like her and I ma not just talking about her looks.

Women have more guts and courage than our republican fairies today.

Funny how you never hear this on the nightly news...

As is most definitely the case with the “BLM” movement, I can’t help but feel in this case, there is at least some element of political pre-planning. I only know the details and narrative provided so far by the MSM but Obama we know is all about Alinskyite organizing and agitation, and the history of the left everywhere is about creating and exposing so-called “contradictions.”

[SpaceBar]

Good point. How far does anyone think they’d get going through airport security with such a contraption?

[tet68]

Even a wind up alarm clock can be rigged to set off
a bomb.
This whole incident is astroterrorism designed
to promote islamophobic reactions.

[RginTN]

A clear set up. The next school bombing will be carried out by muslims maybe worse that what the muslims did in Russia.

NO MIsunderstanding.

seems the whole thing was scripted in advance ....

good vanity, better than a lot of articles. Well done.

Oh, what the hell...I'll slit my throat, hang myself and shoot myself in the temple...is that enough...'cause I ain't gonna even attempt to deal with a damned liberal-inspired bunch of horse crap.

The little toad set this whole thing up...for no other reason than to give CAIR and the hairy-legged birkenstock-wearing screwballs something to piss and moan about.

Obama knew his role.
