A- a young kid threw together a clock using parts of an alarm clock to try and impress someone?
Or
B- It was a carefully planned hoax, aided by his father to draw up some kind of controversy?
I don't know the intentions, but he is a fraudulent inventor.
I do NOT believe Ahmed EVER said he invented that clock. I believe he said he BUILT that clock...whether from parts of another clock possibly but I'm pretty sure he said he *built* that clock.

And again, when I raises the same concerns before the main stream media does, I'm a freak. But now that the rest of the world is sharing my views what I said two days ago is making a little more sense now right?
Remember we're discussing this over how it looks, not the actual gesture.
Thread's not about you (and pretty sure no one called you a freak. For the love of Pete (or god), PLEASE let this Eeyore aspect go. So much more fun and informative without, if you're open to it).
I know that perception plays a part - a huge part - but perhaps that actual gesture should be taken into account as well.
And GF - facts, not speculation?
well my friend what exactly are the fact's ? a) he made a clock b) it resembled a bomb c) it was mounted in a briefcase
so far as I know those are the facts the rest is speculation right ?

Did he claim to have invented or just built?
In that case he is a fraudulent builder.

I'll have a CSI and bomb disposal team report on that. LOL !!!!
And the other seven brought a device that resembled a device that might have looked lik a bomb, a clock, one of which was an inert bomb. Why the differing in treatment? All seven applauded, one teacher suspended and Mohamed arrested. Why? He explained it was a clock and not a bomb. I haven't seen pictures of what the other seven looked like but Mohamed explained that it was a clock. Why was he arrested?
Even if the first several teachers he showed it to knew it wasn't a bomb, they sure as hell should have been concerned with exposed electrical wiring and components and confiscated it immediately.
That could shock you if it was plugged into a wall socket.

True that would certainly would be a safety concern. As a teacher one of your responsibilities are the safety at all of the children under your supervision.

That's the key right there.You land on the side of precaution in today's society.Its better to act quick and be wrong then to do nothing and be wrong. The more this is marinating and lingering the more I'm questioning who is ultimately wrong here.
This article from 7 days ago talks about his build. Their take on it is far less nefarious than some on here would like to believe. No big conspiracy here guys, put away the pitch forks and find another Muslim to go after in your spare time.....because that's what this is starting to sound like....a witch hunt.
Also the kid wasn't arrested and suspended for having a gadget that could "shock someone". He was arrested on suspicion of having a bomb. Stop trying to change the narrative.
Also, now that I have seen the picture of the "bomb" I am more convinced of the over reaction by police and school. That thing was tiny, and clearly only electronics....thinking it was anything else is laughable.
Changing the narrative is the only reason this is a story.
Also, if it was clearly only electronics, I don't see why we should ignore the teachers negligence in not spotting a clear safety risk. That would provide evidence that they were competent. That they couldn't identify the safety risk, shows that there were incompetent. Thus, laying the ground work that an English teacher may have worried that the device was an potential bomb.
I didn't think a new thread was needed but I saw this story on the news tonight.Id be interested to hear what you all think. In NJ the Muslim community at this school district wants a Muslim holiday with 6 days notice.Things get heated and it hits the news.The line the news is playing is "We will be the Majority soon". Im assuming it will bother some and others will support the issue. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/09/video-muslims-taunt-nj-school-officials-were-going-to-be-the-majority-soon/ Anyone from that area have any insight?

Well, I believe its the same most places , that the State dictates what days are honored and when. Even if its a local issue , they woulld have ot be elected in that District to the school board or governing body first.
Still though , most districts follow the federal holiday schedule, roughly.
Finally, specific to what you have shared about 6 days notice, I think that is just for shock value as well as the statement that followed.

Now having watched the video, certainly seems as out of the ordinary procedure of how things are done.
Also the fact that they can have those days off excused is a reasonable accomodation imo. IN addition to havng the normally scheduled days off, so inessence they are getting more excused days off than others.

Just read over this bit of the thread from earlier and I honestly can't understand why the concern is being raised about the family, if that's all the dirt they can dig up after several days. So the father ran for president of his country - so what? We've got several threads on the AMT about people running for president; we don't necessarily think too highly of some of them, but that doesn't mean we immediately think they're terrorists. So the father defended the Qur'an, his holy book, when some Christian pastor "put it on trial" - so what? That doesn't seem much different than how you, GF, would defend your bible if it were put on trial. So the owner of some sports team called him and his sister helped him out on the phone - so what? I don't think I would have done a great job at 14 talking to a whole bunch of strangers I'd never met who were quizzing me about what I'd done to get suspended from school.
No, it doesn't "make a little more sense". It makes no sense as far as I can see to try to make a case out of such flimsy evidence.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
The line the news is playing is "We will be the Majority soon".
It is not a line the news is playing. It happened. You are spinning.
Yeah PJFan,WTF are you talking about.I didn't offer an opinion let alone spin anything.Its the caption on the video. This was on my local CBS affiliate news here in FL.Its A NJ story.So it must have legs.Not sure your angle here?
