A Genius Naija Boy Arrested For Creating A Clock In The US. by Ekugbeh(m): 10:31am On Sep 17, 2015 |
A 14-year-old Muslim boy was arrested for bringing a home-made clock to
school that teachers mistook for a bomb, Irving, Texas, USA.
Police said Ahmed Mohammed was arrested for bringing a hoax bomb to
school
Teachers of MacArthur High School raised the alrm after a clock created by
Ahmed Mohammed beeped during the lesson. They immediately alerted the
police about the unusual device and in the blink of an eye the boy was
handcuffed, taken to a juvenile detention center and suspended from school.
Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire
more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great.
— President Obama (@POTUS) September 16, 2015
During interrogation the boy have repeatedly told teachers and the police that
the device was in fact a harmless self-made clock but no one believed him.
Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, Ahmed’s father, believes the suspicion
surrounding his son is the result of Islamaphobia. Assumptions and fear don’t keep us safe—they hold us back. Ahmed, stay curious and keep building. https:///ywrlHUw3g1 — Hillary Clinton (@ HillaryClinton) September 16, 2015 “He just wants to invent good things for mankind, but because his name is Mohamed and because of September 11, I think my son got mistreated,” he said. Since his arrest became public the the online community decided to support inventive boy and his family by creating #IStandWithAhmed hashtag that was tweeted nearly 600,000 times by Wednesday afternoon. Soon President Barack Obama invited Ahmed Mohamed to the White House to show off his invention. Besides, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has invited Ahmed Mohamed to the company, praising him for creativity. 14 year old engineer. Not a threat. #IStandWithAhmed #SchoolsNotPrisons http:///uWReCGvOyY pic.twitter.com/NnJkHE6Qli |
