    GF, you seem so scared. That's too bad.

    FYI, what I suppose you must think of a "real Americans" actually pose a greater threat than those you seems so scared of.

    Yep! As Nikita Khrushchev had it figured out a long time ago- our greatest threat comes from within, not from the outside.

    Seriously.

    This just CAN'T be true.

    I once taught preschool and the first thing I would say about the drawing...... that's a pretty good drawing by a 4 year old. A clock I can understand but a drawing......*come on man*

    I'm only guessing! It's just that I think the article would have a more incredulous tone to it if it were true, lol. And this quote:

    “First off, stop calling him a toddler. That in there is a man,” said Special Agent Mike Long, who headed up the investigation.

    Every time I think I've gotten just a tiny bit wiser, my naivete kicks me in the ass!

    Ahmed and family apparently are moving to Qatar after a visit to the White House.....

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/clock-kid-ahmed-mohamed-and-his-family-will-move-to-qatar/2015/10/20/a95ed296-7762-11e5-b9c1-f03c48c96ac2_story.html

    Less than 24 hours after Ahmed Mohamed met President Obama, his family decided it’s time to leave America for good.

    The 14-year-old Texas boy who was arrested for bringing to school a homemade clock that authorities said resembled a bomb will soon be living in Qatar.

    “After careful consideration of all the generous offers received, we would like to announce that we have accepted a kind offer from Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) for Ahmed to join the prestigious QF Young Innovators Program, which reflects the organization’s on-going dedication to empowering young people and fostering a culture of innovation and creativity,” the family said in a news release Tuesday.

    Anthony Bond, a close family friend and the founder of the Irving, Texas, chapter of the NAACP said the family made the decision to leave the U.S. within the past 24 hours. They have spent those hours in Washington, where Ahmed has been on a mini-press tour in anticipation of his visit to the White House.

    I've seen a lot of Americans calling this boy the "ultimate troll". Thoughts?

    Not for nothing, but good for him. I do worry about his siblings though. Cuz it's not just him being shipped off to boarding school they're uprooting the whole family and moving there.
    To clarify, I worry for his siblings cuz they are not being accepted into the fancy school. They're gonna have to figure out a school for them over there.
