“Tortured”? Ridiculous. But no one, of course, is calling him on it. On the contrary: “The White House said Ahmed was invited to participate in an astronomy night next month. The press secretary, Josh Earnest, said the Obama administration thought the boy was failed by his teachers and called the incident a ‘teachable moment.'” And what it teaches is that if a young Muslim comes to school with a suspicious device, school officials must not do anything, for to take any action would be “Islamophobic.”
Ahmed Mohamed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, has for years tried to position himself as a fighter against “Islamophobia.” I debated him a few years ago, with results so bad for him that after the debate, The American Muslim pleaded with Muslims not to debate me. The video is not online right now but I am told it will be put back up today, and I will post it when I receive it.
“Texas schoolboy arrested over clock to visit Obama as authorities defend action,” by Jessica Glenza and Nicky Woolf, Guardian, September 17, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
…After his story swept across the internet and drew messages of support from tech companies and the US president, Ahmed told reporters outside his home on Wednesday: “I built the clock to impress my teacher, but when I showed it to her she thought it was a threat to her. It was really sad that she took a wrong impression of it.”
He said he was still suspended until Thursday and was thinking of transferring to a different school.
Wearing a Nasa T-shirt, Ahmed thanked his supporters on social media, as well as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. There was a cheer when he announced that he would be visiting the White House.
The White House said Ahmed was invited to participate in an astronomy night next month. The press secretary, Josh Earnest, said the Obama administration thought the boy was failed by his teachers and called the incident a “teachable moment”.
Ahmed’s father and sister thanked the boy’s many online supporters. But Ahmed’s father also expressed his anger at his son’s treatment. “My kid was hurt and was tortured and arrested and mistreated in front of his friends inside of the school,” he said. “That is not America. That is not like us. We love to be in Irving, Texas. We love it and we love our people here.”
On Wednesday, an Irving independent school district spokeswoman, Lesley Weaver, defended the school’s decision to arrest Ahmed under Texas’s “hoax bomb” statute after an English teacher reported the “suspicious” device to administrators.
“We will always take necessary precautions to protect our students and to keep our school community as safe as possible,” Weaver said. She added that members of the public appeared upset because they hadn’t seen photos of the “suspicious-looking item in question”.
“Perhaps upon release of that photo there may be a little bit different perception about what took place, and people might have a better understanding of how we were doing everything with an abundance of caution to protect all of our students in Irving,” Weaver said.
The Irving chief of police, Larry Boyd, supported Weaver’s belief that photos of the device would clear up the controversy. A photograph of the homemade clock was passed out to reporters, and Boyd said that “it shows that it certainly was suspicious in nature”….

Oh my silly muslim friends. Thinking they can pull the wool over the eyes of the “Politically Correct” West.
The West, yes. God, not so much…..
“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” (Hebrews 4:12-13)

“…pull the wool over the eyes of the “Politically Correct” West.”
This is the SECOND TIME in just over two weeks that the MSM (moslem socialist media) has led the World, particularly the West, by the nose, in an overblown knee-jerk emotional and irrational response.
Terrorized Yazidis and Christians were featured in the news, but the World did almost bugger-all for them; the Kurds did the most.
But one suspicious picture of a boy on the beach, with an equally suspicious thread behind it led to the total suspension of all sanity in most of the West, with notable exceptions of the old Soviet Bloc and Canada.
I wonder what the third taqiyya emotional outburst will bring?

Agree. Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed used his son to send a device that resembled a timebomb. His goal was to test our vulnerability.

Mohamed Elhassan got his answer…..
The President of the United States of America pulls out the red carpet!

So what message is the President sending us now….
“Muslims are off limits.”

The school’s staff and police acted correctly.
In these zero tolerance days, a first grader can be suspended for pointing at someone with “gun fingers.”
You cannot know what this clock” is by looking at it.
The child should have known better.
If I were cynical, I would suspect that this is part of an evil plot to let muslims to bring whatever they want to places. Then sometime and somewhere the device will go “Boom” or poison. This will result in many deaths.
If I were c
katnis says
Yes. And where is the support of the school staff? While they may have overreacted a bit, they REACTED, and they should have.
The kid was not bullied or tortured. That’s an exaggeration. He deserved to be questioned. He brought a creepy, noisy suitcase to school and was being passive-aggressive when he was questioned about it. School officials acted based on previous school slaughters carried about by students.
The whole story manage to flip flop and now this little punk has turned into the poster child for islamophobia. Look deeper folks. His dad probably devised the whole scheme.
Nonsense.
Jack says
This is exactly what is likely happening. The muslims always cry that they have been mistreated and use their boo hoos to get the attention of the PC Police. Truth: if it were my son they would have jailed him, expelled him and who knows what else. It appears that this family has no responsibility in this. Shouldnt they have the burden to communicate the intentions of the student to the teacher and the school? had they done that I am sure it would have been a different story……at the end of the day this is just another muslim manipulation…

The west is finished. Europe is being taken over from invaders and we have no backbone. This idiot kid should be suspended for bringing what looks like a BOMB to school.

That poor little brat was arrested and tortured. What did the police do to the little inventor? Probably it’s called mental cruelty as muzzies are so sensitive. We’ve got to be vigilant and a muzzie with something ticking in his hands at first glimpse is a muzzie with a bomb. The teacher acted a hundred per cent correctly. Get rid of this filthy and always complaining scum in the West
don vito says
I would guess that the police tried to talk logically to the bugger in waiting, poor thing, he wasn’t prepared.
Angemon says
The media don’t seem to notice that this clearly contradicts what was said so far: that the kid made the clock, showed it to his engineering teacher, who told him not to go around showing it, and that his English teacher raised the alarm after she heard a beeping and asked him what was in his backpack.
Fine, go ahead and transfer to the Saudi-funded mosque of your preference – your current school is obviously “islamophobic”…
Wearing a Nasa T-shirt, Ahmed thanked his supporters on social media, as well as “Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. There was a cheer when he announced that he would be visiting the White House.”
Were Chris Kyle’s kids invited to visit the WH?
“The press secretary, Josh Earnest, said the Obama administration thought the boy was failed by his teachers and called the incident a “teachable moment”.”
A “teachable moment” indeed, but not in the way they think. It’s a teachable moment on the account it vividly demonstrates the schizophrenia going around in this current PC saturated society: schools have been overly strict to anything perceived as promoting violence (including finger guns) but when someone brings something easier to mistake for a bomb than a finger for a gun, thus becoming another victim of a religion-neutral issue, it suddenly becomes a religion-based issue.
Can his friend, teachers, or anyone else who witnessed the arrest corroborate this claim of “torture”?
Like I said, a religion-neutral issue.
manuel paleologus says
President zero has nothing else to do for this country just to invite this Muslim to WH. And this president is not Muslim or promuslim. Trump will check him when in the White House.

Nora Bedrossian says
The teacher did exactly what she should. She should also get invited to the white house when the Republicans move in.
Fr. Basil says
I have no sympathy for mahometanism, but this entire incident, I believe, is a terrible misunderstanding that blown up out of proportion (no pun intended).
I don’t doubt that the student was embarrassed and humiliated, but if you want to know what torture really is, look what is happening to Christianity under ISIS.
gravenimage says
It is a test case, Fr Basil.
The father is a Jihadist who has “crusaded” (pun intended) against “Islamophobia”. He was “defense council” for the Qur’an when Pastor Terry Jones put that book “on trial”.
When Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed said his son was “tortured”, this was very deliberate language.
Westman says
One could be excused for thinking both sides of this event have lost their objectivity.
The rush of technically incompetent decisions steamrolling into arrest before a technically competent source was consulted. The threatened expulsion unless the student signed a statement was extortion right out of the KGB’s and VAJA’s of Iran playbooks.
On the other side the father turns that extortion into “torture”, the White House, Twitter, MIT, and the media have a field day; making themselves more relevant with photo-ops and future publicity. Does anyone really believe Zuckerburg, POTUS, CAIR, ACLU, and MIT just happened to read the story or did someone in their own PR contact them with an opportunity?
Pictures of obsolete 80’s suitcase bombs for comparison when bomb makers now use cell phones to control small packages? Really? Most of the kids in school are carrying a cell phone and a woman’s clutch purse is large enough for a bomb. When someone’s cell phone beeps at school, is it a bomb? It wouldn’t hurt education to disallow phones at school…
And too many ugly un-American comments, too virulent to be explained by only this event, are being directed at this kid on various websites in America.
The ambulance-chasers are going to come out of the woodwork if the ACLU isn’t already in the driver’s seat for CAIR. The boy’s father and CAIR are media hounds who should be keeping his son in a low profile instead of exploiting him on talk shows. At 14 Ahmed doesn’t have the maturity to realize that he’s being exploited for the objectives of others. The Quran in photo? Right out of Dad’s and CAIRS’ instructions.
The saddest part of being the flashpoint of controversy is that Ahmed will be forced to adopt some position, before having enough maturity, that will determine the direction of his life. Right now he’s overcome with the novelty of outside interest in him. Eventually he will put this experience in the past, or, be radicalized.by it.

………………………….
Westman, Ahmed’s father has engaged in Jihad “street theater” before–and he has also debated Robert Spencer as a Muslim apologist.
Unless Ahmed actually has a moment of clarity at some point and leaves Islam–a fairly rare occurrence, and one we can hardly count on–it is likely that he will go on to do more of the same himself.
mike says
Is the father a US citizen? If not, his prevarication should be addressed and he should be sent packing to his country of origin.
katnis says
His father is a raging lunatic who is so brainwashed by the Koran that he can barely string a sentence together. His comments on human rights in a video in a prior posts are very revealing. “The muslim sword is like the doctor’s knife. It cures society’s ills.” (or something like that.) Disturbing.
katnis says
Flash forward to four years from now… And Ahmed is arrested for trying to join the jihadis in Syria. Or he will be on a full scholarship somewhere learning how to create weapons for ISIS. And we will look at one another, scratching our heads, wondering how we didn’t see this coming.
Edward says
“The press secretary, Josh Earnest, said the Obama administration thought the boy was failed by his teachers and called the incident a ‘teachable moment.’”
Yes, a ‘teachable moment” for what’s possible from the high school kids of the future!
Ahmed has certainly set the scenario for a future fad; building explosives timers/fuses for the Jihad’s now being trained here in America. Fad’s, just like sniffing glues, gasoline and many other idiocies of the past.
Be willing to bet who promoted the idea for the high school project, Ahmed’s dad of course! Ahmed has built it just for his dad who proudly wants to prove what they can/want/willing or mandated to do to America. Literally!
The Muslim’s, as usual always trolling for an “Aha moment” to incite their bitching of being America’s stepchild; err, victims!
A “teachable moment”….that’s right!
Fad: a temporary fashion (I hope), notion, manner of conduct, etc., especially one followed enthusiastically by a group.
Ahmed probably will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his activism before the POTUS is booted out of office!
Edward says
Another ‘point of interest’ definition:
Stepchild:any person, organization, affiliate, project, etc., that is not properly treated, supported, or appreciated:
Edward says
An additional thought:
Ahmed, an obvious timid 14 year old, that is certainly appeasing his dad by agreeing to build the clock like device to make a statement. As a concerned father and grandfather I’m against anyone that insists on indoctrinating a child at that age on any ideology that promotes the wrong moral convictions and this story brings to mind this situation.
I feel very sorry for this kid and I wish that when he reaches an age when he can be on his own he would use his obvious intelligence to assist his quest to aid safe life existence and not to destroy humanity.
I have a naughty wish for him….that he thumbs his nose to those that want to capitalize his capabilities for wrongful utilizations.
I can see it now, his dad will be a recipient also; in a dual family award of the President Medal of Freedom for his past and present activism of Muslim communities welfare initiatives! That action would be an actual spiteful act.
somehistory says
Firstly, he said he took it to show his “engineering teacher” and the “English teacher” is the one who thought it looked like a bomb to which he replied, “It doesn’t look like a bomb to me.”
Now, the *story* changes…which is the indication of lies…to :I built the clock to impress my teacher, but when I showed it to her she thought it was a threat to her. It was really sad that she took a wrong impression of it.”
Was it not the *engineering* teacher whom he wanted to “impress”? Did he “impress” the engineering teacher? Did the engineering teacher express disapproval when talking about it and admonishing the kid not to show it to others?
The English teacher is now the one he “wanted to impress” and she “took a wrong impression of it”? My oh my! If only he had told her what it was, how it worked, and why he brought it to school…and not just disagreed with what she said, “It looks like a bomb.”
The story, much like the worm, has turned and it will continue to do so because it was a set up and the kid lied and is now, lying again. He may get a lot of immediate benefits from his test drive. But they will be temporary. He is not a genius as his supporters seem to think. Geniuses don’t have to pull hoaxes and pranks and then lie to support their work.
How many days must we hear from him? That will most likely also be how many lies are told as the *story* develops to make him look good and the school staff and LE look bad.
The parents of the other kids should give support to the English teacher and principal And the police.
voegelinian says
“Tortured”? Ridiculous. But no one, of course, is calling him on it
Father Ahmed is probably thinking of schools in his native Sudan, where brutal corporal punishment of pupils is likely not unusual.
Wellington says
Arguably, the single most disturbing factor that has come from this “incident” is the readiness of the current occupant of the Oval Office to, once again, rush into conclusions before the American legal system has had time to sort matters out. Here, as in so many other areas (e.g., false bravado about a “red line” that should not be crossed) the 44th President of the United States reveals his buffoonery and his complete inadequacy for the job to which millions of foolish people elected him not once but twice.
In the final analysis, Obama being President serves as ipso facto evidence of the dumbing down of America. Herein lies what should be the greatest worry of all because an America led by a fool is a guarantee of a world in far greater danger, which is exactly what has happened since Obama has become President.
Sorry to digress to this “larger” issue, but I felt it was warranted. Most always a good thing to look at the big picture I submit.
Edward says
“Arguably, the single most disturbing factor that has come from this ‘incident”
One of many….remember the victim who drank beer with the POTUS in a picnic setting?
“Sorry to digress to this “larger” issue”
No need to be sorry for you are doing fine……there’s a definite need to frame the complete facts of our miserable state of our union!
In conclusion: The very legal “We the People” are now in fact the 5th wheel STEPCHILD of AMERICA!
Aw, how come; “We the People” from many lands were here first? I’m a 7th generation, my children 8th and grandchildren 9th in that order Texans!
Stepchild: any person that is not properly treated, supported, or appreciated and/or considered disposable!

The equivalent of this name would be Jesus Smith Jesus, which is pretty doggone religious. I thought this was just another kiss-the-Moslem-ass story until I found out that the 14 yr old Moslem had been tortured. That’s pretty bad, torturing anybody is bad, but torturing a young boy is really bad.
Maybe it’s time we all reexamine this whole Counter-Jihad thing. Maybe Moslems really *are* victims.
Edward says
“Maybe it’s time we all reexamine this whole Counter-Jihad thing. Maybe Moslems really *are* victims.”
Are you serious? Have you dropped your deterring defense against some hocus-pocus, the kind that the Muslim world practices 5 times daily?

Texas Muslim clockmaker’s father says son was “tortured” by school officials
……………………….
“Tortured”, huh? And he claims Ahmed was publicly tortured in front of his friends–in which case, they should be able to confirm what sort of “torture” Ahmed suffered at the hands of his teachers and principal.
But I doubt we will ever hear anything more about this–meanwhile, the charge of “torture” will stand unchallenged, which fits right in with the narrative of Muslim victimhood.
Meanwhile, of course, *actual* torture, including torture of kids, is the norm in the Muslim world:
“Sharia Saudi Arabia: Juvenile prisoner faces death by crucifixion”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/09/sharia-saudi-arabia-juvenile-prisoner-faces-death-by-crucifixion
More:
… the Obama administration thought the boy was failed by his teachers and called the incident a ‘teachable moment.’
……………………….
And what will be taught in that “teachable moment”? That if someone sees something, that they should say *nothing*, lest they want to risk being smeared as an “Islamophobe” and “racist”, who has not only “failed his students”, but actually *tortured* them.
How much easier to just stay quiet, no matter how much it endangers themselves and–even worse–the children in their care?

The kid and his parents are lying and so is the media. The kid did not “make” the clock, but just took an existing clock apart and put it into a briefcase so it looked suspicious ON PURPOSE to get the required response he and his father were looking for from school officials. Even more important than that, it is no longer a clock. The kid modified it so that instead of it being a regular clock, he made it into a count down timer exactly as is used in a time bomb.
Greg Zotta says
This was a setup!
When asked who he has seen, Ahmed Muhamed said, “I’ve seen Mark Zuckerberg, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and I am pleased that they are part of the action; part of the movement… to get rid of everything that has been happening not just to me, but to other people around the entire globe.” Part of the movement? What movement is he talking about? Islamaphobia? His “clock” looked like a bomb in a briefcase. Further, when the police asked him what it was he could not explain to them it was a clock. Sounds like a setup to me. And now he is a celebrity. He’s been invited to the White House by Hussein Obama. CEO’s from Facebook and Google have invited him to their corporate headquarters. I do not recall the child that was suspended from school for making a pop-tart into the shape of a gun becoming a celebrity or being invited to the White House. Oh wait, that child was not Muslim and it was in the shape of a gun. Obama thought the “hoax bomb” was a cool clock and let the World know that. I do not recall it being revealed if Obama thought it was “cool” about the Tsarnaey brother’s real bombs made from pressure cookers used in the Boston Marathon bombing. Oh by the way, jihadists have been strapping bombs to men, women and children in attacks around the World. It was a SETUP to set up the American people from the coming invasion of Muslims to this country.
Once again Hussein Obama does not stand with law enforcement when he invited Ahmed Muhamed to the White House after he was detained for bringing a hoax bomb to school that he claims was a clock, but he could not explain that to the officers.
