“I got suspended from school for three days from this stupid same district, from this girl saying I wanted to blow up the school, something I had nothing to do with…I got suspended and I didn’t do anything about it and so when I heard about Ahmed, I was so mad because it happened to me and I didn’t get to stand up.”
She had nothing to do with the threat and yet did nothing about being suspended? Where were her parents? If I had a child in school who was suspended over a false accusation, I’d be at the principal’s office in a matter of minutes. And would the school really suspend her on a hearsay accusation from one other girl — even in what The Daily Beast hysterically calls “a hotbed of Islamophobia”? It is unlikely, given the risk of complaints and even litigation from the parents, that they would have taken such a step without substantial evidence.
And so the plot thickens further. Why didn’t Ahmed’s father exploit this accusation in his ongoing quest to fight “Islamophobia”? Could it be because the accusation was true?
“‘Man, I Went Viral’: My Day With Ahmed Mohamed, the Most Famous Boy on Earth,” by Randy R. Potts, Daily Beast, September 17, 2015 (thanks to all who sent this in):
…After the MSNBC segment, Eyman and I sit down in the hallway where she says the same thing happened to her as Ahmed.
“I got suspended from school for three days from this stupid same district, from this girl saying I wanted to blow up the school, something I had nothing to do with.”
Eyman talks with the slightest lisp, almost imperceptible, but it becomes stronger as she gets emotional.
“I got suspended and I didn’t do anything about it and so when I heard about Ahmed, I was so mad because it happened to me and I didn’t get to stand up, so I’m making sure he’s standing up because it’s not right. So I’m not jealous, I’m kinda like—it’s like he’s standing for me.”
Eyman said her suspension was in her first year of middle school, “my first year of attempting middle school in America. I knew English, but the culture was different, the people were different.”
This part of Texas is a hotbed of Islamophobia. Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne in March claimed Muslim clergy were “bypassing American courts” by offering to mediate disputes between worshippers according to Islamic law. Residents of Farmersville last month fought against creation of a Muslim cemetery in their town. Garland was the site of a “draw Muhammad” contest hosted by anti-Islam activist Pamela Geller that was subsequently attacked by two gunmen inspired by ISIS….

Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Young Ahmed has bigger things than clocks on his mind. He didn’t build that stupid clock, but so what, his mission is to build something far bigger: Sharia America. I wonder if he’ll discuss his plans with Prez Barack Hussein during his visit to the White House.
jay says
He is off to a great start. A 10 MILLION DOLLAR donation was made to start the Yale SHARIA LAW Center at the same time as this story broke… what a coincidence!!
Hey everybody look over there, Ahmed invented a clock!!
Huck Folder says
Ahmed speaks of the MSM (moslem socialist media)
and obuMBoy:
“Build it and they will cum.”
Michael Copeland says
This area is where muslim clerics were “offering” to mediate disputes.
We can understand these were “offers that could not be refused.”
Angemon says
So? Can the Mayor substantiate what she said or not? Randy R. Potts is presenting this as if it’s some sort of self-evident example of “islamophobia”, but islamic law stipulates that, for example, when dividing an inheritance women are entitled to only half of what a man gets (and, of course, the so-called “feminists” turn into astronomers when this is pointed out for them), so the Mayor can – and should – denounce such situations.
gravenimage says
Angemon, here’s the story:
http://www.politifact.com/texas/article/2015/jul/17/sharia-court-irving-texas-negative/
Ignore the sneering tone. This article actually *confirms* the Texas area “Islamic Tribunal [as] an alternative dispute resolution service”.
Angemon says
Thanks for the info, GI – indeed a sharia court by another name.

Daily Beast journalists should try living beside a mosque! They will be awakened by screaming at 5 AM and they will never find a parking space on the street again.

Ha–that happened to our poor neighbors when we called for an airport taxi at 4:30 AM. The extremely cranky Somali driver stood in the street screeching at us to hurry, while Arabic music blared from his open windows.
We take the rail now if possible, no matter the temperature.
mortimer says
Who built the clock that came from a kit? His father, right?
Doug says
Apparently it did not come from a kit. He simply put an existing clock inside a box.

She didn’t “get to stand up”? Who stopped her? Naturally the girl who told on her was a racist– it’s all been said before.
The more we hear about this family the creepier they sound. Is that islamophobic?
DeMolay says
I’m starting to see being an islamophobe as a badge of honour. Thinking of getting a tee shirt printed. Islsmophobe and proud.
Ann Inquirer says
An Islamophobe is one who knows too much about Islam. It IS a badge of honor. However, name calling is carrying far less weight than it used to, I reference that to the Trump Effect: people are tired of being PC.. I “LOL” at it when I get called a Hater since laughing at them only gets them madder.
Mike says
Probably not “Islamically worthy” because she’s a girl.
Raja says
Mike,
Though unworthy in Islam they have to be manufactured 72 times more than man for the maintenance of supply chain at Islamic heaven. May be they will outsource them from Londonistan, Belgradestan, Paristan and so on .
Ann Inquirer says
That was what I was thinking, that as a female she should not have any recognition. We can see some of the American culture is wearing off on her since she’s po’d she didn’t get it.
Gary says
” My Day With Ahmed Mohamed, the Most Famous Boy on Earth,”
No, actually he’s the most used boy on earth. As a father the last thing I would do is use my own kids, (Or any others for that matter), to farther the “cause” of my so called “Religion of Peace”
Islam: One BIG LIE.
Allah: The,(lower case), god incompetent to the level that he wants you to avenge for him, is not a god worthy of worship, but a devil who is leading you to your demise.

…………………………….
Yeah, right. This is nothing but spin–the fact is that Ahmed was suspended for bringing something that plausibly looked like a bomb to school, after his sister had been suspended for threatening to blow up a school in the same district.
And from everything we know about the father, if he could have turned this into grievance mongering at the time, he certainly would have–which lends extra credence to this Muslimah making this threat.
Karl says
Suspended for 3 days for threatening to blow up the school? This does not sound like a realistic punishment.
DeMolay says
Hey. Cool threat. Want to come and tell me about it at the White House ?
gravenimage says
Brilliant.
Katnis says
Wait a minute. Am I reading this correctly? The clockmaker’s sister was suspended for threatening to blow up her school. Why wasn’t this a part of the original story?
If this is true, I wonder…
If Obama will withdraw his invitation
If the people who donated to his scholarship fund will want their money back
If CNN, MSNBC, or Fox will report this new information
Looks like an example of Anti-American sentiment passed on to the next generation. It all starts at home, doesn’t it?
gravenimage says
No, Obama won’t withdraw his invitation. If this incident comes up at all–which I doubt–it will be put up in the context of this family having suffered from the “Islamophobia” of prejudiced Infidels.

This is how dear ol’ dad defending the violent and oppressive Qur’an at Pastor Terry Jones’s “trial” was characterized.
somehistory says
Aahh. And she didn’t get to stand up …because dad hadn’t as yet figured out how to make a mockery of American culture. He hadn’t gotten all his ducks in order for his widdle girl to say she didn’t say something that another girl said she said and make it all the way to the WH with the thing she was accused of saying. And it was likely true that she said it if in fact she was accused of saying it and was suspended.
For making a terror threat,…against “this stupid same district “…where the people and culture “were different”…she deserved more than a three day suspension.
kessler says
“I got suspended from school for three days from this stupid same district, from this girl saying I wanted to blow up the school, something I had nothing to do with…”
Isn’t his sister saying that a girl accused her of threatening to blow up the school, and on that basis she was suspended? If so, how can we conclude that she threatened to blow up the school?
Not defending her – just want the facts right when I argue with leftists.
TheBuffster says
Kessler, “Isn’t his sister saying that a girl accused her of threatening to blow up the school, and on that basis she was suspended? If so, how can we conclude that she threatened to blow up the school?

Yeah, I think people are jumping to conclusions on this too fast. It’s not impossible that some girl with a bad attitude thought it would be funny to report a Muslim kid for making a terrorist threat, although I agree with Robert that to do so on nothing more than an accusation, even in today’s pop-tart gun atmosphere, would be pretty stupid. Alternatively, Eyman could have been harassed by some kid for being Muslim and got mad and said something like “You think I’m going to blow up the school because I’m a Muslim? Well maybe I will if it means getting rid of you!” In other words a threat that was not real, but an emotional outburst.
The fact is, we only have a very sparse sketch of what happened, with no circumstances or details. And why didn’t her activist dad do anything about it? Maybe he had too much on his plate at the time.
As long as I can see more than one way information can fit together, I don’t draw final conclusions.
Raja says
Why has she been quiet for so long. The entire lie and propaganda machinery of Islam would have come to her rescue and subsequent glorification?
Pity America !!! Somewhere the other side(aggrieved school admin ) is palpably silent. Are you not dealing with a monster called Islam?
abad says
Deport the whole family to Saudi Arabia already.
Peggy says
No refunds, no exchanges. All sales are final. America is stuck with them.
Matthieu Baudin says
So the school exercised appropriate duty of care in it’s response to the boy with the ‘clock’.
Did the President invite the sister along to the White House as well?

Sorry Eyman but Barry is just more into your brother. Ahmed is so wonderfully, er, INVENTIVE, and, er, you know …

Renee Atkins says
#InventLikeAhmed needs to trend at #1
And these videos need to go viral
Ahmed admits clock looked like a “threat” and “suspicious” at 1:25. He claims he put a cable on the outside of the box to make it look less suspicious. Because, as we all know, attaching a wire to the outside of a box makes it look less suspicious.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mW4w0Y1OXE
Ahmed admits he plugged the clock in during English class and deliberately set off the alarm at :50.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_75pScWQ06Y
In the same video at about :30 he claims “the clock in fact is built from scrap…scrap found around the house. Some of the boards were already manufactured. But yes, it was put together.” In another interview he said he made it in 20 minutes the previous evening. But if you compare the photo of Ahmed’s clock to the clock “invented” in this video, you can see all the components (except the button board because they are slightly different clock models) are exactly the same.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHk_6Vh4Qeo
Here’s a funnier take on how to “invent” your own clock.

Mike Copeland says
I’m a tech geek and I’ve been obsessed with the Ahmed Mohamed story. Initially, I was on this kid’s side, until I saw photos of the “clock”. Last night he appeared on the Aljazeera network and ADMITTED that he intentionally set the alarm to go off on his “clock”. He did this after being told to put it away and not to show anyone else by his Engineering teacher.
http://america.aljazeera.com/watch/shows/Ali-Velshi-On-Target/2015/9/i-felt-like-a-terrorist.html
The questions are… Why did he leave school that day? Why didn’t he get rid of the “clock” when he left? Why did he return to to set the alarm off in English class? Why did he feel compelled to set the alarm to go off in class?
I ask you, does this look like the face of a traumatized family? https://twitter.com/istandwithahmed/status/644179809170509824
His clock is a FRAUD… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEmSwJTqpgYYouTube

Does anyone think this kid deserves a scholarship for $250,000 from Bitcoin and to meet the President?
Also I found this…”Ahmed explains that he closed up the box with a piece of cord because he didn’t want it to look suspicious. I’m curious, why would “looking suspicious” have even crossed his mind before this whole event unfolded, if he was truly showing off a hobby project, something so innocuous as an alarm clock. Why did he choose a pencil box, one that looks like a miniature briefcase no less, as an enclosure for a clock? It’s awful hard to see the clock with the case closed. On the other hand, with the case open, it’s awful dangerous to have an exposed power transformer sitting near the snooze button (unless, perhaps his invention was to stop serial-snooze-button pressers by giving them a dangerous electrical shock!)”

Oh, it was the CLOCK he invented. And I thought it was a Glock.

Brendan says
My guess is that was their first attempt at getting her arrested so she can be the victim but maybe they didn’t know that it was actually against the law to do that and so it didn’t fly. So they came up with this scheme of making a store-bought clock to look like a homemade bomb.
