Last week, 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed brought what he said was a clock to school. It was a clock, but it inside a briefcase, and it was just parts from a commercially-available clock that the youngster dismantled and reassembled. The teacher thought that it looked a little bit like a timing device for a bomb, so she sent him to the principal’s office where the police took him into custody. <\/p>\n

His father, an Islamic activist, says that he was arrested because he’s a Muslim, according to ABC News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

“He just wants to invent good things for mankind,” Ahmed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, told the Morning News. “But because his name is Mohamed and because of Sept. 11, I think my son got mistreated.”<\/p>\n

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is reviewing the matter.<\/p>\n

“This all raises a red flag for us: how Irving’s government entities are operating in the current climate,” said Alia Salem, executive director of the council’s North Texas chapter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, young Ahmed is headed to a root beer summit at the White House because we feel guilty that the fear of Islamic terrorism has us saying something when we see something. Yeah. I’m not apologizing. If I saw anyone with a device like that on the commuter train, I’d signal law enforcement, regardless of who was carrying it.<\/p>\n

If a bunch of female soldiers can take a picture of themselves breastfeeding to “desensitize” us to the sight, it makes sense that terrorists would be licking their lips at thought of “desensitizing” us to the sight of youngsters carrying things that look like bombs.<\/p>\n

Our buddy, Jim Hanson, recently, Uncle Jimbo of Blackfive fame, was on Glen Beck’s program yesterday talking about the incident;<\/p>\n
