Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Clock boy Ahmed Mohamed demanding $15 million in damages

Nov 23, 2015 5:05 pm By Robert Spencer

As the Washington Post noted at the height of the controversy over his “clock,” Ahmed was showered with support from “Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton and Google co-founder Sergey Brin,” while “Tweets, think pieces and daytime TV segments were dedicated to dissecting how Ahmed’s situation typified racism and Islamaphobia [sic] in America,” and he “visited the Google Science Fair, met with Sudan’s President Omar al Bashir, posed with the queen of Jordan at a United Nations Summit, appeared on the ‘Doctor Oz’ show and last night, made it to the White House.” Ahmed Mohamed became the darling of the political and media elites and met Obama. He was celebrated everywhere as an innocent victim of “Islamophobia.”

He became an international hero. Yet now he claims to be “traumatized,” and wants $15,000,000. This lawsuit will be the final nail in the coffin of “If you see something, say something”: school officials will now let Muslim students engage in all manner of suspicious behavior — why risk career suicide to stop them?

ahmed-mohamed

“‘Clock kid’ seeking $15 million in damages,” by Jessica Contrera, Washington Post, November 24, 2015 (thanks to Steve):

Two months after “clock kid” Ahmed Mohamed made international headlines, new details of his controversial arrest emerged Monday in a letter his attorney has sent to school and city officials in Irving, Tex.

As many as seven adults teamed up to interrogate the 14-year-old boy after a teacher mistook his homemade clock for a bomb and pressured him to sign a confession, according to the “letter of demand” from his lawyer warning of plans to file a $15 million suit.

Ahmed’s September arrest, deemed an overreaction by many observers, drew waves of sympathy and extensive news coverage; President Obama invited him to join several other science-inclined students at the White House’s “Astronomy Night” last month.

But his family, which shortly thereafter took up a benefactor’s offer to relocate to Qatar, argued in the letter that the boy’s reputation has been “permanently scarred.” They are seeking not only financial reparations but written apologies from the city’s mayor and police chief.

“Everyone in the country and around the world believes this has been a wonderful experience for Ahmed’s family, and in some ways, it has been,” said Anthony Bond, a family friend. “But now they are settled in Qatar, they have realized they are tremendously traumatized.”…

Nonsense. The family was claiming that Ahmed was traumatized in September, before they left for Qatar.

The family is demanding an apology from Van Duyne and others involved because they would like to return to Irving, attorney Kelly Hollingsworth said….

“The generosity and support Ahmed has received has been very much appreciated, but what the system has to do is try to find a way to redress him,” Hollingsworth said. “What’s the effect of this young man having his reputation in the global community scarred for the rest of his life?”

    News Flash from the International Muslim Technology Institute and Jihad Training Center:

    “We at the IMTIJTC applaud the planned lawsuit of Ahmed Mohamed against those who mistook his clock for a cleverly concealed bomb timing device. The $15 million reward will help Ahmed Mohamed to send his timer…er…we mean his clock, yes, CLOCK with hundreds of heroic Islamic lions who will visit airports, train stations, subways, sports stadiums and night club prostitution centers around the world! We hope that the ‘clock’ (heh, heh) of Ahmed Mohamed will really terrorize…er help…the dirty kafirs…er…the non-Muslims to see the beauty of Islam.

      Amusing Mortimer. I remember, back in the days before cell phones an aquaintence was helping a Muslim student with a college engineering project which was – you guessed it – a presettable timer with big red LEDs. I often wonder what bomb it set off in the ME.

    They are so full of malice aforethought. So full of evil. This was part of the plan from the beginning…to suck the community of Irving dry.

    They claimed that it was no longer in his best interests to stay in America and offered that plum education in Q…off they go and now they want to come back. Guess the people of Q found out he’s not a genius after all.

    The only trauma was experienced by the teacher, students and staff of the school who saw the disemboweled clock and thought it might be a bomb. Now the little terrorist and his family wish to traumatize the entire community of Irving which will have to pay higher property taxes to the IISD to recover if this lawsuit is successful.

    Hopefully, the members of the jury won’t be fooled by the greed and the attitude of supremacy on display.

      Nov 23, 2015 at 6:16 pm

      I doubt if they’re looking for an actual trial. Even with the high number of Muslims in North Texas, the chances of getting a jury to go with that exorbitant amount is pretty slim. Chances are, they’re looking for the district to settle for a few million, just to avoid the legal expenses.

      By the way, what was the “confession” they “pressured” him to sign?

      “I did indeed carry an infernal device triggered to blow up the school to class that day to show to my teacher”?

      The intent, as Robert points out, is to squelch any questioning of any Muslim at any time. We’ll see if the school officials of Irving cave in, or if they show any backbone.

      • somehistory says

        Nov 23, 2015 at 7:52 pm

        Yes, the over-all intent is to stop anyone from saying anything negative to any moslim at anytime. But lawfare is a part of their warfare and if they could get big bucks, not only would they have the money, but people who couldn’t afford to pay, would be doubly afraid to say what is true.
        There are many prongs to the jihad they are waging to make the rest of us compliant.
        Make people look like bigots and racists…though we all know the only *race* involved is their hurried attempt to subjugate the rest of us.
        Make people afraid for their lives if they tell the truth or draw, make jokes, etc.
        And sue every chance they get to obtain funds for more terror and to help with the over-all plan to silence the truth.

    ………………………….

    I assumed we hadn’t heard the last from these Muslim grievance-mongers…

    More:

    “What’s the effect of this young man having his reputation in the global community scarred for the rest of his life?”
    ………………………….

    How many 14-year-olds even *have* a “reputation in the global community”? The truth is, he owes it all to the stupid reaction over the alarm over his “clock”.

    But whether the school district ponies up this Jizya or not, the upshot will be the same–teachers and others will think twice before daring to mention *any* threat to their students after this.

    • TheBuffster says

      Nov 23, 2015 at 5:50 pm

      I wasn’t sure exactly *who* they’re suing. The school wasn’t mentioned. The only people mentioned regarding financial reparations were the police chief and the mayor.

      “They are seeking not only financial reparations but written apologies from the city’s mayor and police chief.”

      • gravenimage says

        Nov 23, 2015 at 11:16 pm

        You’re right, Buffster. But it matters little who they’re suing specifically–the school district, the police department, the state of Texas, the United States–we’re all just the “filthy Infidel”, and it’s all Jizya.

      Once you figure out this jihadi scam the opportunities for riches are almost unlimited.
      Take a nervous looking woman in a burqa, seat her in the middle of a mall fumbling with a cell phone and a gym bag, call security (which will bring the SWAT team and bomb squad) for the take-down.
      When they open the bag, all they find are a stack of adult diapers and the medicine she needs after years in a cruel Syrian prison.
      Call a shyster lawyer (which are also,unfortunately, unlimited) and sue those islamophobic, racist American fascists-bingo!-another faux-jihad lottery winner!
      Unbelievably pathetic.

They’ve all got millions flowing in from oil revenue they never earned, and their parents have bought them all Lamborghinis. Clock Boy needs a Lamborghini, too.

    Eff. Right. Off.

    Ultimately, taxpayers would be footing the bill for this punk’s stunt (and that’s what it was–a stunt that he took with him from classroom to classroom—people need to read the WHOLE story of his behavior and noncompliance and gradual escalation throughout the entire day, not just the heavily redacted mainstream media versions—and those taxpayers should be a tad perturbed.

    Poor family. America was too mean….but you don’t much care for being with your own folks, deep in your own culture? Things not quite what you had in mind over there—a little less freedom of thought and action, living standards not quite the same? Surely you aren’t afraid of Islamist terrorists—they don’t exist, remember? Just bad racist white men hyping fear and ignorance! Your religion is one of peace love and understanding! No one there to be frightened of!

    They should be barred from returning to USA!! After reaching Qatar, they probably realize that life USA was much better than living Islamic hell hole!! That’s why they want an apology to save their face and return to USA.

    They should never be allowed to come back – but I think they will be back sooner or later!!

  15. Westman says

    Nov 23, 2015 at 6:11 pm

    “Terribly traumatized” = “Show me the money!”.

    I defended Ahmed at first until I looked closer and realized he had lied about “inventing” the clock, building the clock, and then asking if he should hold a Quran during press photos. It sounds like someone in Qatar has figured out that something is fishy about the family and less money is coming.

    The kid has been fraudulent. Boston should insist he makes personal appearance in court and is questioned about his statements. I’m more than willing to donate to a fund for Boston to challenge this suit or to countersue. This Islamic victimhood of non-compliant students and adults needs to be stopped here or there will be endless staged incidents.

      Nov 23, 2015 at 7:45 pm

      Irving is part of the Metroplex…Dallas, Ft. Worth, Arlington, and a host of other cities all in a kind of circle. Dallas had the guy trying to blow up a building, Arlington had the woman in scarf lying about a guy chasing her in a pickup and harassing her, calling her names. She called police, but it was a hoax.

      I lived in Arlington for a long time. moslims are not the favorite *minority* in the area. The majority of moslim there are very rude and the little boys very unruly toward any female, and non moslim authority in the schools. lot of scarves and some full on burqas.

      Hopefully, if it does go to trial…and the city should not settle, but should ask the family to pay for the disruption they caused…there will be a smart jury that is wise to how moslims work.

Poor little clock boy, he had to ride in the padded back seat of a patrol car and be questioned by some scary big Texans about what the hell he thought he was doing bringing what looked like a time-bomb to scare the shit out of his teachers and classmates.

Some spotty little herbert turns up with a stupid attempt at a piece of third-rate garden-shed technology that looks just like a bit of an amateur incendiary device that everyone knows his dad might have use for, he gets a logical response, so he goes off whining and ends up rubbing shoulders with a load of brainless.celebs and an equally dubious ‘president’, and then demands $15,000,000 for his itsy bitsy hurt feelings?

My jeering is rightly placed at a kid who did something monumentally stupid and paid the consequences for it and now seeks apologies for actions that were appropriate to the situation. I am not concerned at all about the fears genuine or otherwise of clock boy. This kid is being manipulated big time by his parents and that is something he will be more traumatized by than the actions of the people of Irving, TX.

    Ironically, even after it was shown not to be what it
    looked like (an improvised explosive device) it still had lethal potential.

    If you look at a photograph of the old clock’s innards you will see (at top left) that the 9 volt battery terminals are not connected to a battery. The power is provided by that cuboid shape in the centre which is a naked transformer.
    The white wires exit the transformer with a low voltage and current. The black wires on the other side are provided to connect to a standard wall outlet.
    If you stick your hand on that naked transfomer while it was plugged into the wall it could be fatal.
    We don’t usually see these lethal transformers because they are usually encased in little black boxes (as adaptors) that are connected by cords to our laptops etc. If you look closely at one of those black boxes you will see that they are not meant to be opened -there are no visible screws.
    So the thing is – what kind of idiot would be running around classrooms full of children with a lethal naked transformer tumbling out of a case?
    Hey, plug it in. What’s this thing for?……
    Are his parents so completely lacking in common sense?
    And this electronics boy genius doesn’t even know basic safegaurds regarding electricity?
    Incredibly dumb or incredibly duplicitious.

    • simpleton says

      Nov 24, 2015 at 12:16 am

      So it “could” have killed a teacher, if he had it plugged in, and it was making some funny sounds. The English teacher did know of her limited experience with these gadgets, so reported it, and she was possibly right that it could have been very dangerous if not fatal to others, or even fatal to “clever” little Ahmed, of he was not so clever.
      If as clever as others believe, then he attempted murder.
      One or the other, dumb or clever?

      With these “beep” sounds would Ahmed, wanting to be centre of attention, perhaps show it to a student, and perhaps get that one to touch the dangerous parts? for his his dangerous experiment.

      I am now curious. So was it ever plugged in? In which classes? or the head master’s office?

      Just what was his intent, “”Drop dead” teacher”?
      His explanation by silence, to law officials.
      Did he think he could have “bigger fish to fry”?

      You are right, ‘Not I said the sparrow’ “Incredibly dumb or incredibly duplicitous”.

      • Not I said the sparrow says

        Nov 24, 2015 at 9:33 am

        Yes, there it is in plain sight -a naked transformer that would kill you at a touch.
        But there would be all sorts of counter arguments :

        It’s a Safe Electrical Space asshole! New fucking rules!

        It’s photoshopped, dummy.

        The transformer is contained, It was in a box, folks.
        We Putin in a box. Sorry, I mean we put it in a box. Oloha Snackbar.

        Yeah, facts are stuffed before they are fed to us.
        But,the future will tell soon enough.
        My guess in these cases:

        1. Obama, baptised as a Christian somewhat late in life, will not be seen anywhere near a Christian church after 2016.
        2. Ahmed will be as dumb as he is now but rich enough , and vain enough, and again dumb enough, to be successful in American politics.

        BTW: I tried correcting the spelling for “duplicitous” but this Android thing (built on free Linux software in a Scandanavian Galaxy long, long ago, in aeons of time) just floated away as if it couldn’t care less. Siri, where are you?

    send all the muslims into the islamic country, his life will be as like as “heaven”!
    islam means terror, no-one muslims says a single word against any terrorists or suicide bomber, so the “good” and ‘muslims’ are two absolutely opposite words, we can’t use them together….

    Why did so many people sympathise with this kid? Bomb experts testified that his ‘clock’ was actually a very efficient crypto bomb – without the explosive charge and ignition. The teacher who saw it was quite justified in assuming that it might be a bomb. After all kids aint kids anymore at 14.
    I always found it strange that he and his father got invited back to Qatar, especially after reading that dad had been a political opponent of the ruler there. There’s more to this story than meets the eye.
    But compensation should be a big NO NO, otherwise every opportunist will be trying something similar.

    Nov 24, 2015 at 7:29 am

    With $15 million, he’ll be able to build a clock-bomb and suicide-vest factory in his new home in Qatar. That ought to impress his science teacher.

    His international reputation “scarred”???? His international reputation is a positive one that has been created by this incident. What the heck are they talking about.

    This is absolutely ridiculous and $15 mil is NOT compensation but a cash grab by greedy individuals, nothing more!!

    Nov 24, 2015 at 9:49 am

    ‘There’s more to this story than meets the eye” – absolutely !
    And now the lawyer says they want to return to US – hmmm – I am sure that is either because they now realize things are not so wonderful in that all-Muslim country, or they see opportunity for increasing their involvement in the Muslim anti-West activities in the US. I think this kid was primed by his Dad, and I saw both of them as suspect from the moment of the report of the ‘clock’. It is time for my fellow Liberals to decide at what point they will actually give up on Liberal for the jihad threat and start to take a more cautious view – there ARE villains out there and we need to be careful who we trust now that they are increasingly showing their faces ! I hate this thought but we otherwise let ourselves be sitting ducks – the West has determined enemies and they are getting brazen.

    Nov 24, 2015 at 12:17 pm

    What better way to prove he’s fully American than with a lawsuit that, in a sane world, would get laughed off to the rubbish bin?

    • gravenimage says

      Nov 24, 2015 at 11:23 pm

      Yeah–Americans *are* too litigious, Angemon. But given the target and circumstances of the suit, this is pure Muslim grievance-mongering. Muslims *always* take advantage of any Infidel society’s weaknesses to try to destroy it.

    If Clock Boy is awarded $15M, say goodbye to “If you see something, say something.”

      My apologies. I just saw that Robert had already made this comment in his introduction to this article. Sorry, Robert . . . however, I most strongly do agree with your comment.

      My sincere apologies to Robert. I just saw that Robert already made this comment in his introduction to the article. I just saw that. Obviously, I agree most strongly with Robert’s comment.

    Bring it on! If a lawsuit is filed, that will likely enable the school district and police department to release information about the 14-year-old’s conduct during the bomb scare incident—which reportedly was less than cooperative.

    • Jon says

      Nov 24, 2015 at 3:46 pm

      Yes, how all those people now have egg all over their faces, having naively supported the kid’s bland protestations that he was only making a clock. He’s played them all for suckers, Zuckerberg (now known as Suckerberg), Clinton, Obama, and heaven knows how many other gullible leftist fools out there in Disneyland.
      And now he thinks he’ll run off to the bank with 15 million bucks, doubtless to support his dad’s political career back in Qatar. I’m laughing with him!

  55. UNCLE VLADDI says

    Nov 24, 2015 at 4:46 pm

    Hopefully now those sealed police reports will be subpeona’d into evidence at trial.
    You know, the ones about his interviews sealed because he didn’t give consent to release them because he was under-age, the poor benighted dear little victim.

    Or maybe they’ll balance the $15. million against years of negative publicity, and write it off as a bargain and “lesson learned.”

  56. DeMolay says

    Nov 24, 2015 at 4:47 pm

    The only reason his reputation could be damaged globally is because his father and CAIR were in front of the press within an hour.
    In US law could the family have to pay costs of they lose? Any half decent lawyer can win this case for Irving IF a fair trial.
    The only people traumatised are the teachers and police that have received death threats etc. They have been gagged though.
    If they win a penny then this is an utter travesty.

      I think America is undermining itself from within. The justice system which is the underpinning of any democratic system is being used and abused by people who are glaringly obvious to everyone as chancers and extremists. All it needs is a smart arse lawyer and a compliant media.

  57. epistemology says

    Nov 24, 2015 at 5:48 pm

    I think the poor boys deserves the 15 million. He’s so traumatized, had to leave the US and go to a very nice country where they cure them.

    Well I didn’t see any pic of that little prat where he didn’t smile. Don’t add money to the attention, he’s already got.

  58. Baucent says

    It’s funny how a week can change perspectives. After the Paris terror attacks, imagine if “clock boy” had turned up at a French or Belgium school with his strange device.
