Everyone was expecting North Texas’ most famous teen to return home from his national tour this week. A Dallas public relations firm hoping to sign Ahmed Mohamed had even made plans for a limousine to pick him up at the airport when they flew in from New York.

But they’ll have to wait a little longer, because Ahmed and his family are detouring for Qatar, per a statement the family released this morning.

“The last few weeks have been truly life-changing for my son Ahmed and for our family,” Mohamed Elhassan Mohamad said in a prepared statement announcing the trip.

After Ahmed met the prime minister of Turkey at the United Nations last week, a foundation offered the boy a tour of “Education City”—a 5-square-mile cluster of universities and think tanks in the Qatari capital, Doha.

The family say they were invited by the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, which was founded by a former ruler of the country.

Did you read my post 1, too, about Qatar being linked to terrorism, including possibly this foundation?

See my posts 1 and 3, if you didn’t.

Qatar is suspected of being a big financier of terrorism. Qatar Foundation possibly wrapped up in it all too.

Great, he can visit Prince A-hole who left last month after racing in Beverly Hills streets and threatening to kill and to falsely claim diplomatic immunity.

Said F America when leaving, so perfect place for this BS kid to visit and fit in.

This kid is going to get $100,000 speaking gigs per 15-minute speech yet. Liberals are enamored with him.
Why didn't Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York reward Achmed Muhamed the ticker tape parade he so richly deserves?
