Ellison, who has taken money from the Muslim Brotherhood to fund his pilgrimage to Mecca, has long been an energetic purveyor of the Muslim victimhood scam, complaining of counter-terror efforts and claiming that they target Muslims unfairly. So it is no surprise that he would eagerly jump on Ahmed Mohamed’s victimhood story, which will have the effect of making school officials hesitate to question Muslims who have suspicious objects. Note that Ellison’s clock looks like a clock, whereas Ahmed Mohamed’s clock looked like a lot of wires and circuits in a briefcase.
“Keith Ellison, First Muslim Congressman, Carries Clock In Solidarity With Ahmed,” by Michael McLaughlin, Huffington Post, September 16, 2015:
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the first Muslim member of Congress, began carrying a clock around Capitol Hill on Wednesday to show support for the ninth-grader whose homemade clock was mistaken for a bomb earlier this week.
Ahmed Mohamed, a 14-year-old Muslim boy, was arrested and taken to juvenile detention on Monday after showing the clock he’d built at home to a teacher in his Irving, Texas, school. The teacher said the device looked like a bomb, and later in the day, Ahmed was threatened with expulsion before being arrested.
“Discriminatory profiling doesn’t have a place in our country. Ahmed is working hard and being creative. It’s a shame that a boy is faced with such injustice in America,” Ellison said in a statement to The Huffington Post. “I’m proud to stand with him and carry a clock around with me today.”
In a clear expression of support for Ahmed, Ellison placed a clock on top of a podium while he spoke about climate change at a Congressional Black Caucus conference. The clock traveled everywhere with Ellison, including onto the House floor during an evening vote, his staff said….

Karen says
Easy enough for him to do, being behind a massive firewall of 24/7 protection. What about the rest of us schmucks?
Shall we tell the post office to not worry about any ticking packages or white powders that arrive for Capitol Hill?
jihad3tracker says
Ellison’s gesture is another example of his bottomless idiocy. As Robert pointed out, Ellison has a clock — not a jumble of parts and wires.
HuffPo is currently (11:15 Eastern US) not too filled up with comments, but of course they are privilege-guilt weepers. So, why don’t we somersault over there and knock some sense into their suicidal heads?
Karen says
I think I’ve been blocked by huffpo. My last attempts to post my polite but truth-laden comments have gotten me nothing but error messages!!
jihad3tracker says
Save your ammunition for the “OBAMA IS NOT NOT NOT NOT A MUSLIM !” carnival that is getting revved up, in dozens of media websites..
Remember that if you get there after lots of comments have been made, the “vetters” reading new ones might have a backlog of literally hundreds to decide about.
Whatever you write might appear for a minute or so and then be tossed to the end of the queue, showing up later.
Also, be careful not to say to much that the last sentence comes near the bottom of the posting template where “REPLY” appears.
Keep it brief but devastatingly accurate and factual . . . Easy to do when we are discussing Obama, Jihad, Islam, Truth.
gravenimage says
jihad3tracker, Ellison is not engaged in idiocy–instead, this is very deliberate fake Muslim victim mongering, meant to soften up the Infidels and infuse them with a sense of unearned guilt.
As for his clock looking like a standard clock–as indeed it is–this is quite deliberate, as well.
The idea is that only “filthy Islamophobes” might confuse an innocent clock with a bomb or even a timing device.

Like in 2011, during the hearing on islamic terrorism in the US, when he started to cry while reading a report (which, IIRC, later turned out to be false) of a muslim missing on 9/11 and suspected of terror until his remains were found.

“On the Difference Between a Clock and a Bomb
No-one takes tackling terrorism more seriously than Clarion Project [Up till now]. When a 14-year-old boy is arrested for bringing a homemade [commercially manufactured] digital clock to school, that goes way beyond national security needs. [Is that your specialty?]
“BY ELLIOT FRIEDLAND September 17th, 2015”
…
“Since the story broke thousands of [gullible] people around the world have showed their support for Ahmed Mohamed using #IStandWithAhmed.
“Human-rights activists on the forefront of the fight against Islamism including Faisal Saeed al-Mutar, Maajid Nawaz and Ali A. Rizvi have stood behind Ahmed on their Facebook pages. [idiots also]
“They have all suffered personally from Islamism first hand and know all too well the necessity of defeating that toxic ideology.
“What happened to Ahmed was not defence against terrorism. It was RACIST.”
REALLY? And what RACE would that be?
“We have to know how far is too far.”
THIS is too far. The son of a media-whore re-packaged a clock, was ‘thrifty’ with his answers to police, but ALL OVER the MSM (moslem socialist media) and cair.
And the KNEE-JERK reactions of those who should know better, makes you wonder if they all have moslem run PR departments.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Why doesn’t somebody just come out and state the obvious? Moslems are subject to special consideration when it comes to security because of all their threats of violence and actual violent acts. The Moslem high school kid must naturally be subjected to the scrutiny that comes from the current track record of his identified group. No whining.
This is akin to the nouveau Ku Klux Klan race hate group Black Lives Matter. The reason young black men end up in violent confrontations with cops is that they are way disproportionately involved in violent crime on the streets, so their numbers go up.
There should be a law when a punk bitch like Rep Keith Ellison does one his whine-o-thons that he be required to mention at least one murder done in the name of the Holy Ko-Ran. The woman beheaded in Moore OK comes to mind. Or the mass murder at Ft Hood would do. But he has to account for the other side of the “narrative” before he may whine.
It’s natural to be alarmed when *any* high school boy walks into a high school with a ticking device. When it’s a Moslem boy with a ticking device, pull the alarm and high tail it across the football field and off the campus as far as you can go.
jihad3tracker says
Yes, APF, Colleen Hufford’s head removed to please the bloodthirsty god that Keith Ellison worships . . . he is a deeply sick human..
And since he reads everything here on JW, shall we remind him of the utter contempt everyone else — except fellow Islamist frat boy Andre Carson — has for him ?
vlparker says
Because none of them have the gonads. They would rather see their granddaughters and great granddaughters become islamic sex slaves than confront the PC fascists.

Angemon says
Awww, so sweet! Did he carried his homemade, wire-filled, LED display, beeping clock on a metal briefcase as well? Did he raise his hands and said “hands up, don’t shoot” to the security personal who inquired him on it? Oh, wait, the clock he carried had nothing to do with Ahmed’s…

Alarmed Pig Farmer says

The white male part is a substantial disadvantage because federal law requires discrimination against white males. It’s called Affirmative Action, which is illegal per the Constitution, but the law was adopted as a temporary emergency measure upon the end of Jim Crow in the 1960s.
But, emergency measures never go away. The emergencies become perpetual, even clearly illegal ones like Affirmative Action.
Never waste a good crisis.

Never waste a good crisis.
– Hillary Clinton
Ok, I get it. So where is the emergency measure to deal with the Moslem crisis?
somehistory says
When one reads the Civil Rights Act of ’64, one finds that “white male” is the only…the one and only…non-protected group. If one falls into one of the “protected groups” one is not white and also male.
There are very few “protections” in that law that apply to while men.
And we all know now how much Christians are hated…esp by many in the “protected” groups such as ellison.
Western Canadian says
There is nothing in the 1964 Civil Rights Act that denies any group their legal and God given civil rights…. NOT A THING. No, whites are NOT excluded from having the same civil rights as blacks, asian, latino… or anyone else. It is dishonest, hard left hate mongers and race pimps, ignoring inconvenient sections that are illegally stripping whites of the civil rights they are guaranteed by law and the US constitution.
Rather like Canada’s mockery of human rights commissions…. There are only a few Canadian supreme court decisions that give any one group a special status (aboriginals being the favoured group) over others… But these groups of con artists, hate mongers and hypocrites decide, all by their corrupt selves, who does and does not have rights, or protection for those rights. As a white hetero male…. I am at the bottom of the heap. Due to laws being ignored and twisted.
somehistory says
White males are not listed as a “protected class” like the others. It is not listed because of the long history of the U.S. when whites held most jobs of upper levels. Women, people of other colors, races, people of another ethnicity, language, nationality, are all listed as protected classes.
I have two books on this very thing. If a white male is disabled, he is protected by the ADA…not the law of 64. If a white male is of another nationality, he has that protection. That’s the way it goes. Look up some of the cases that have been brought by people seeking work related issues, see that most are brought by women, races other than white, etc.

“Discriminatory profiling doesn’t have a place in our country”
You prefer indiscriminate profiling?
Asian Crusader says
Discriminatory profiling is a SMART, common-sense technique to focus limited resources on real threats.
It bears repeating (and re-repeating) that Israel has for decades focused its successful security efforts on the PERSON rather than mechanically looking at shampoo bottles and nail clippers.
mike says
I doubt that Ellison would EVER attack Muslim actions.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
I know a few lawyers out of the U of Minnesota Law School, and they are unhappy that Ellison is, in their words, stupid in his statements and actions. Rep Keith has caused many up here to finally awake from their slumber and come to see that Islam is a con.
Karen says
Ellison is a very shady character IMHO. The good people of MN often seem to be willing to expose themselves to harm in their effort to live up to the highest of ideals. They deserve better than Mr. Ellison. Here’s hoping he gets bounced in the next election.

He is indeed. Here’s some information on his deeply disturbing background:

Hopefully the incident of this 14 year-old “clock” maker – and the reaction by our present sitting Moslem politicians – will deter any future Moslems from being elected ever again.
Shmooviyet says
Unfortunately the good people of this state are also desperate to show off their multi-culti.
The state is crawling with Dems who don’t want to face the truth about islam; also hoards of incoming immigrants who can be counted on to keep elected Dems in office for decades to come. We may deserve better, like other states, but Ellison and his ilk are in for the long haul and they know it.

Engress by the Enemy takes many forms and shapes. The collaborative efforts by the “Players” in this circumstance shows collusion of Boy, Boy’s father, White House Gang, The selected Media Projectionists, CAIR and their branches, et al.

Ellison–hopefully the time on his clock is about to EXPIRE!!!
Katnis says
He looks like an idiot. He’s carrying around a clock that looks like a clock. Yawn. If he wants to make a point, why doesn’t he carry around a suitcase bomb and call it a clock. That would be more on point.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
But then he’d have to show a photo ID, and as we found out photo IDs are racist, to vote, at least.
Carmine R. Fragione says
Any student smart enough to excel in Science ought to have common sense that such a device would cause a panic. Then the entire matter is suspicious behavior, it was likely to have been done only to get attention. It is an Andy Warhol thing. The point is now lost to political correctness. A high school student ought to know better, not to play innocent victim, while holding the cards, and knowing how to play the game. To say it was a clock is a fact, but it was a designed fact to excuse the behavior, which was to shake people up , and make a headline. It was another selfish act done by a superior intelligent student expecting everyone to think he is cute.
miriamrove says
You are correct. Except Muslim students who are good at sciences are exempt from this rule. m
Peter Charles says
When I was a kid there was a black cube of plastic with battery operated random flashing colored lights. You just turned it on and it ran until turned off’. What kind of reaction that would get. and would the left rationalize that if it were carried by a moose-lim?
somehistory says
This devotee of islam, beast of satan, doesn’t really understand “profiling.”
Profiling is necessary. And it used to be that being a *discriminating* person was looked upon as a good thing. One didn’t just eat any old scrap of food, wear rags to work, spout obscenities in public…if that one had discriminating tastes.
Profiling. How many places ask for a person who wants to comment on a website to post a “profile”?
When there are a lot of killings in an area or neighborhood, and they all fit the same “profile”…then LE create a “profile” of the killer. It doesn’t matter to the ones setting out the profile what the race, age, etc. of the killer is, they go with the evidence, where the evidence leads. If it leads to a white male, between the ages of…that’s who they look for. If it says otherwise, it would be foolish and counterproductive to look for ‘white male, between the ages of…
The kid who took the suspicious looking device to school and then used it to alarm his English teacher is muslim, his father is muslim, his religion is islam. If the kid had been white and Christian and had refused to answer questions in like manner to what actually took place, he would have been treated accordingly…by the school and LE…but not by the political largemouths.
If muslims all over the world were not killing and threatening to kill and instructing other muslims to kill….And the kid had not taken the suspicious device to school without clearing the matter first, and had he answered his teacher and principal and LEO that responded and not been “passive aggressive”…he might have never come to the attention of the politicians.
On the other hand, this smells very fishy…like a complete set up. So the kid takes something to school…gets arrested but not charged…and suddenly, he’s a hero, a genius, and fellow muslims are falling all over the story because it furthers their agenda. Which is what they all wanted.
Anyone notice how dead the kid’s eyes are?
abad says
That’s the first thing I noticed about the 14 year-old “clock” maker.
And with eyes that dead, who is to say the “clock” is not really parts for a bomb or actual bomb.
Regardless, I am still surprised he did not strap it to himself. Brat.
somehistory says
I have thought about the *timer* thing quite a bit. It would be possible, wouldn’t it, to have a bomb in his locker or another place in the school, and just have the timer as a remote device to set it off? The bomb would need to have a part that would *respond* to the timer. Not being an explosives expert, am not sure how they are made to act remotely. I do know cell phones can be used as a trigger, that bombs can have timers, and bombs can be set off from a remote location from where the bomb is actually located.
Now, if he had planted the explosive in another area of the school, the only thing that would keep him from setting it off would be a remote device.
I do believe he was setting things up for a later terror act. By this kid or by another. It’s a *hey, look* we’re innocent here…while planning something real for later.
CogitoErgoSum says
So, what have we learned from all this? If you are in high school and you want a career in engineering or science and technology, take a briefcase and stuff it with all kinds of wires and circuit boards, LED’s and noise generating bells and whistles that sound off from time to time. Call your device a clock, a computer, a time machine or whatever (because it doesn’t really have to work) and plug it in during English class.
Next, make sure you do not explain the device even if your English teacher sends you to the principal’s office or even if the police and explosive experts are sent to examine the device. You are now guaranteed to get an invitation to the White House and job offers and maybe even a scholarship to a prestigious university. Oh, but most importantly, just make sure everybody knows you are a Muslim (whatever kind does not matter).
Hey, wait a minute! If you are NOT a Muslim and do this and you DON’T get an invite to the White House … then the President would look like a “racist”, now wouldn’t he? What is wrong with me? So, okay, forget about having to be a Muslim for this to work. Yeah, everybody can do it. It’s a sure fire thing for anybody not matter what your race or religion!!!!! Go to it, all you aspiring young inventors out there.

Alarmed Pig Farmer says
There must be a hell of a lot of stupid white people in Minnesota.
I live in Minnesota, about 15 miles from the western edge of Rep Keith’s district, and yes, there are a lot of stupid white people up here. The key is to be cool, to be pious, to feel good about yourself. This of course means being a self-hater, and of course kicking in tax dollars to pay Somalis to have four wives, 3 of them mosque wives pumping out AFDC fraud babies. But that unpleasantry never gets into the newspaper, so it doesn’t exist. As for the al-Shab and ISIS terrorists from here, well, that’s happening because of difficulties adjusting up here in racist Minnesota. That these youths are involved in gang rapes and sex slavery and mass murderer of Coptics and Yazidis is… well, that’s not in the newspaper either, so it doesn’t exist either. What’s important, what exists, is multicultural diversity… and high taxes. Those are the important things, the benefits.

gravenimage says
At Keith Ellison’s 2006 congressional victory party his followers yelled “Allahu Akbar!”.
He has also called himself “Hakim” and “Mohammad” at various times since his conversion to Islam, until he realized that might alienate even the most suicidal liberals–so he has since stuck with the name his Catholic family gave him.
He was also involved with the “Flying Imams”, a stealth Jihad testing of the waters–and subsequent fake victim-fest–not unlike this one.
And what has his response been to any attempts at American authorities protecting us from violent JIhad? He has compared American authorities to the Nazis:
“It’s almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that. After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader [Hitler] of that country in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted.”
In other words, the threat of violent Jihad has been faked by “Islamophobes” to gain power and persecute innocent Muslims. Never mind the growing number of dead Americans…
He has also said that any resistance to the imposition of brutal Shari’ah law is “an expression of bigotry”.

Ellison is using the ‘reduction ad absurdum’ fallacy and he knows it. Fortunately, so do most people. This can only undermine his credibility.
Ellison is minimizing the concern for security of Americans, including most Muslims who don’t care to be blown up by bombs either.
Western Canadian says
That is not a fallacy. It is a logical method used to analyze issues. And in this case miss-used badly, by an obvious idiot who fails to use it either properly, or with success. More of a strawman.
Dave J says
Had young Ahmad been displaying Keithy’s clock I doubt there would have been this reaction. So Keithy (and others) are engaged in deliberate deceit. Sound familiar, Muslim liars?
This was a setup from the start.
DeMolay says
The teachers should be getting praised for being diligent and not falling for the ‘fear of racism’ card and therefore failing to act.
CAIR etc will push for people to lose their job, to further prevent anyone daring to challenge a Muslim, mark my words.
The minute it came out who his father was, it was obvious it was a set up.
