But he does have his defenders and fans on this forum.
This is exactly as I have been saying on FR since this story first broke. Did Ahmed actually invent a new clock or a new way of telling time or simply make his own electronic clock himself? There is nothing scholarly or inventive about taking an existing, working clock’s innards and putting them inside a suitcase like box, where the clock can’t even be read. It was clearly a hoax bomb, which is wrong to bring to a school or public place, and probably illegal.
