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.

You mean dirty, filthy girls were allowed in a school? Horrors! No wonder Ahmed decamped.

Either that or they know something we dont.

Remember the NJ teachers who reported muslim kids bringing cameras to school on 9/11 and the NYC muslim kids who were kept home from school on that day?

This incident highlighted the absolute corruption of the MSM. All of them ignored the engineers that stated that the contraption looked more like a bomb than a clock (such engineering originality?), that he started the mechanism in his English class inside a briefcase, refused repeated requests by the police to identify the mechanism, failed to explain that he had NO engineering teacher, and finally failed to mention the multiple school suspensions for misconduct. Journalists, never. Intellectually dishonest and corrupt, yes.

I didn’t know that he did not have an engineering teacher, and that he had multiple suspensions. Where did you read that?

“Goodbye! Don’t let the door hit ya where Mohammed split ya!”

Make all of them renounce their citizenship if they actually have it! and have them do it in front of media cameras so there’s no doubt that they did it!

Anyone bet against me that his destroyed clock arrayed as a clock ends up in a display in the Smithsonian?

Does this mean the family will be taking the $8,000 GoFundMe Scholarship Fund with them to Qatar?

Wouldn’t take that bet. Nope, wouldn’t be prudent.

It was in the newspapers (buried) and on the news here in Texas.
