A Muslim teen, fourteen-year-old Ahmed Mohamed, bought a strange ticking device to his school, MacArthur High School. His device caused alarm and fear, and he was detained for having what his teacher perceived as a bomb. Police officers said the electronic components and wires inside his Vaultz pencil case (which is the size of a briefcase) looked like a “hoax bomb,” according to local news station WFAA.
When questioned about what the device was, Mohamed wouldn’t answer. Now terror-tied Islamic groups like the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), their media lapdogs, and even Barack Obama are waging jihad against the school and the local police.
When police questioned the boy, WFAA reports, they said he was “passive aggressive” and didn’t give them a “reasonable answer” as to why he had brought his contraption to the school. “We attempted to question the juvenile about what it was and he would simply only say it was a clock. He didn’t offer any explanation as to what it was for, why he created this device, why he brought it to school,” said James McLellan of the Irving Police Department.
This whole thing smells like a setup. With ISIS in America, and young moderate Muslims fleeing to Syria to join the terror group, the response of MacArthur High School officials was rational and reasonable. At my website, PamelaGeller.com, I run news stories on a weekly basis of American Muslim teens who have been arrested for trying to join ISIS. Just this week, a Muslim teen from Philadelphia was arrested for an alleged plot to assassinate the Pope during his visit to the United States.
Every day we are warned of new terror threats, increased threat levels. But trying to protect school children is “Islamophobic.” And President Obama agrees, of course.

Is it possible the kid is harmless? Yes. Is it possible he isn't? Yes. Not waiting to be blown up is the prudent course, which the school pursued. Next time, maybe they won't... and maybe some moderately large number of people die.
That standard advice is good advice. For the innocent. And the guilty.
Thing is - there are no innocent people with a history (even a 14 year old kid) of making bomb like devices in school, so if - as we know from previous reports - this kid was known to cops already as a provocateur; then yeah.
Put the little creep in cuffs and take him downtown.
Pressure cooker.
Yeppers!
I’ve seen that reference before. I love it. Maybe the kid will bring one of those to the White Mosque.
Precisely.
I want the school to be rewarded for doing the right thing. I’d write everyone a big check if I had the means to do so.
I’d also like the parents and student held accountable for creating such a disturbance.
lol
Why would anyone think a guy named Achmed Mohamed might be involved with a bomb?
... I'd shop that clock in front of 0's podium.
Digital clocks tick? In what world?
Was this the same teacher that had the student suspended for eating his Pop-Tart into the shape of a gun? You know it really could have ended in the classroom.
His Arrogance, our Kenyan Muslim Imposter in Chief, would never invite some white Christian kid who invented gun shaped pop tarts to the White House.
So Obama invites the kid to the White House. BO isn’t even trying to appear to be trying anymore, does he?
Well, who enforces the zero tolerance crap? Libs.

Shear genius.
Having been a teenager with an active interest in building electronics the hard way, I appreciate the problem of putting an ugly oversized underpowered circuit in whatever container is handy/cheap.
Now if he’s got a history of other provocative run-ins, well, that’s a different story...
