The fact that Ahmed Mohamed didn’t build anything, but just fit existing clockworks into a pencil box, has been ignored by everyone, including the President of the United States. No one cares that school officials nationwide have acted in similar ways with non-Muslim students, because of the zero tolerance policy on weaponry. The Cambridge Public […]
“Clock Boy” Ahmed’s dad: Incident will “spread Islam” in America
That was probably what it was intended to do all along, from the moment the hoax was cooked up. “‘Clock Boy’ Ahmed’s Dad: Incident will ‘Spread Islam’ in America,” by Merrill Hope, Breitbart, October 15, 2015: Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, father of ‘Clock Boy’ Ahmed, shared another 9/11 ‘Truther’ Facebook post, only this time in Arabic, claiming that […]
Robert Spencer, FrontPage: Ahmed Day and the End of ‘If You See Something, Say Something’
In FrontPage today I discuss a day that Mayor de Blasio recently proclaimed, with ominous implications for New York’s residents.

Clockmaker Ahmed Mohamed’s family says he has been “severely traumatized,” hires lawyers
“Severely traumatized”? By being invited to the White House and the United Nations? By being lauded on the trendiest TV shows?

Clockmaker Ahmed Mohamed’s sister was once suspended from school for threatening to blow it up
“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 […]
Hoax: Muslim clockmaker didn’t build clock, just put existing one into pencil box
This makes it all the more likely that this entire incident was planned: the idea was to scare school officials with a suspicious-looking object and then cry “Islamophobia.” And it is all working beyond, I expect, even their wildest expectations. Be sure to read the detailed explanation here; all I’ve reproduced below are some of […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Clock is Ticking on “Islamophobia”
In FrontPage today I discuss the exhortation “If you see something, say something” – which holds true unless the suspicious person is a Muslim. Of all the people arrested over the past week, only Ahmed Mohamed of Irving, Texas was invited to the White House as a result. This is because Mohamed is fourteen years […]
Texas Muslim clockmaker’s father says son was “tortured” by school officials
“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 […]
