The media dream? It's the sentiment like I mentioned (that you apparently never heard of - I suggest you google it, because it's all over the place) and the media is what seems to have driven him right the fuck out of the country. Sounds like a living nightmare to me. For every good thing done for or said about him, three terrible things have been said. All the racists in the America are vilifying him, which is why his family is getting the fuck out.Godfather. said:
never heard that ? but he is living the media dream as a celebrity of sorts, too bad obama wasn't around in the 80's I could have been a media sensation "Obama says arrested white drug addict looks like his son, if he had one" LOL !!!!!

he was arrested because his home project resembled a bomb and with all the muslim related terrorism that has made the news this kid's story brings the threat of terrorism right into the living rooms and shcools of all Americans and that turns into dollars for the media machines, if he were a white kid it might have got a small bleep in local news and he would have never been invited to the white house or offered an education from top schools, personally....his folks should have their ass's kicked for even letting him take a home made briefcase clock to school, it they're not part of the muslim terrorist rings they are damn sure aware of the things going on so why invite possible drama into their lives ?

The kid posted an extremely excited tweet about having met the President though. He seemed pretty stoked about it. It was the American people and the media that drove them out of the country, and it's absolutely shameful. Even just the article you just posted... way to take a big dump on the kid's moment of meeting the Prez, about which he was actually very pleased.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Why is this guy still news?
Within 24hrs of a whitehouse visit he goes back to his sharia law "modern" country?
This whole story stinks all because his parents played the poor muslim card.
So hedo thanks again for late chiming - stick to the topic and not make it personal about my comments as was mentioned in another thread. Contribute with an opinion about the thread topic or just don't say anything.
GunderP - The article you posted just has a messy overtone written all over it. This story has gone away. It is clear that the laws in your country did not go well with this muslim family and they have returned to what is better for them.

I'll post what I want, when I want, and am ever-mindful of the guidelines here. Pretty much abide by them and assume the mods will let me know if I'm out of line.
My opinion is that your (non-personal?) term was unnecessary and out of line.
Now we can move on.

I'm compelled to point out that Qatar isn't "his" country. He was born in Sudan. He is moving to Qatar because he's been offered a scholarship by the Qatar Foundation:
“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.
The scholarship is going to cover him for high school and university, and to be clear there are a few American Universities already set up over there:WHO IS INVOLVED WITH THE FOUNDATION?
Frankly it seems like a huge opportunity for him. Apparently people move all the time to go to university, particularly when they receive scholarships to prestigious ones. I wonder if anyone would have even blinked if he announced his family would be relocating to England so he could attend Oxford University.
Outposts of American universities, a business hub designed to foster technological innovation and cultural projects such as the national library and a philharmonic orchestra all fall under the foundation's umbrella.
The American university campuses, which attract both Qataris and foreign students, are clustered in the foundation's Education City on the western edge of Doha. They include Carnegie Mellon University, Georgetown University, Northwestern University and Texas A&M University.NYC 06/24/08-Auckland 11/27/09-Chch 11/29/09-Newark 05/18/10-Atlanta 09/22/12-Chicago 07/19/13-Brooklyn 10/18/13 & 10/19/13-Hartford 10/25/13-Baltimore 10/27/13-Auckland 1/17/14-GC 1/19/14-Melbourne 1/24/14-Sydney 1/26/14-Amsterdam 6/16/14 & 6/17/14-Milan 6/20/14-Berlin 6/26/14-Leeds 7/8/14-Milton Keynes 7/11/14-St. Louis 10/3/14-NYC 9/26/15

It looks like he Anmed has a bright future and his family has made a major decision to enlighten/educate this teens future. Good for him.
