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.

There’s no indication that he’s smart enough to pull off a successful terrorist act. He’ll probably have to settle for beating his wife.

Good riddance. I am self-editing anything else I wanted to type. No need to give the filthy left-wing types a nail-studded bat with which to beat me over the head. There is the First Amendment right to free speech, then there is stupidity.

I think it was disgusting the way Obama threw the school officials under the bus - if security at the WH had found a “clock” that looked like that, they would have made the school system response look hum-drum.

If only they could take their beloved “president” over with them.

Trump's dream of self-deportation may yet happen after all.

He hasn’t shown any aptitude for building anything. They would have to assign him to toilet-cleaning duty at the training camp.

Great! Oil prices should remain low for a while, collapsing the qutter economy. In the ensuing chaos, clockhead will be forced to join the other islam refugees, targeting Europe. Where he’ll continue his IED education and will accidentally blow himself up.

The kid’s a fraud, and probably couldn’t assemble an Ikea coffee table if his life depended on it. He’ll probably be back in the news in ten years or so in a very different kind of story.

Yeah, he'd fit right in in Qatar. Dictators of a feather stick together.

I’m not so sure this isn’t all just a lot of stagecraft and he wasn’t told to get the hell out of the country. His father is basically a known terrorist, and no one who knows the facts thinks this was a clock or meant to appear to be a clock. This was a provocative move, probably orchestrated by the father to increase his political standing in the Sudan after being victimized by the great Satans in the US.

However much sympathy O personally has for muslims and the kid and the kid’s father, I doubt our gov, sick as it is, would allow this. Hence: create a wonderful cover story, treat the kid like a king instead of the used kid he is so muslims can’t sink their teeth into anything, stage a WH visit, and get this family out.

Just a theory. The optics vs the fact stretch credulity. (I know I know - everything we are doing these days stretches credulity ... but this ... is like a psychotic break ... the clock was a provocation, no one can argue differently.)

Grief counselors will be available to any student who needs one. And girls in his classes now have the option of turning in their head coverings.
