There is a strong and angry reaction to this on social media with the hashtag #IStandwithAhmed. 14 year old Ahmed Mohamed was arrested after he'd made a clock at home and brought it into MacArthur High School in Irving to show his engineering teacher who congratulated him.
Another teacher who heard it's beeping sound during class, saw it and believed it looked like a bomb, alerted school authorities who called the police.
The homemade clock consisted of a circuit board with wires leading to a digital display. Later in the day the boy was pulled out of class and interviewed by the school's headteachers and four police officers. A head teacher also threatened to expel him if he did not write a statement. He was later led out in handcuffs and put into juvenile detention. He was however released to meet his parents after he was fingerprinted.

I can't say i blame them. Most of the world's problem, especially terrorism, is championed by Muslims.

Nice one for arresting him only his name is a danger and a killer.

I heard dis 2day buh it's really nt fair
Lib freak
All these IS terrorist are punishing innocent people cos no matter how hard we deny it, you'll always be stereotyped by your race & religion
So, what is the problem here? Is anyone above suspicion? These are trying times. If you ask me, I'd say: You can't be too careful.
Authorities should watch that boy carefully. He might be planning something and want to take the school aware.
Oyinbo fear terrorism so tey ur Islamic name nah threat to them. Them fear so tey ordinary clock turns to bomb to them. Yet oyinbo dey accept refugees wey come from Islamic states. Hmmm. Life is riddled With irony

That is really sad but if not for his kinsmen that believes in blowing things up, what do you expect. #istandwithahmed sha. The school authorities should apologize
Happy he was later released....
Oh my! If he was a white boy all this won't have happened o. Smh
Just reminded me of My name is Khan.
u dnt know wat i face cos of my BEARDS!!!!!!!
its not the fault of the teachers in this age of terrorism and bomb blast every where one has to be careful but they should just check the clock if its not a bomb they should just release the boy asap
That's not fair...cos the poor boy bears Hammed
What a pity!
Once bitten, twice shy . It's better to blame the teacher for being too cautious than for being negligent
Well said... Some fools here on LIB just say nonsense that comes from their brain. So for being a muslim and bearing Islamic names is a crime. Fools!
I am not a Muslim but some of you guys comments are worse than bomb. So because his name is Ahmed, his little innovation shouldn't be well investigated and screened before he was embarrassed with a cuff? Everyone should be treated right.
Is only God that knows what is inside his mind
God bless u, u get brain
Please before you comment on an open place like this, try double check what you write. It speaks volume about who you are. For those who are in support of the humiliation melted to the young glad who could be the no1 inventor in the very near future, how would you feel if the boy is your son/brother? And to make matter worse you are so fast as linking religion to this. It is very sad and so shameful. Please advise your brain first next time before you engage your hands in typing.
abeggy..that's how it start...first a clock then a bomb!!!
So Many Dumb people arnd, God it is Very Sad, So All Muslims Are Terrorists Right, If dt was true none of u fools would be alive, dt small boy is obviously smarter than u guys making a clock at his age wat can u do? except stupid comments on posts Abeg.
Agreed, dey are doing a great job but dey need to be more thorough. Linda take note!

Hmm, You should go learn more about Islam, if you think Muslims are terrorists then you need help
Oh!

Your level of ignorance amuses me and I wonder how one can remain so stupid. Stereotypical fools like you are what's wrong with this world
You are very foolish. Idiot, incompetent gorilla. How dare you insult a prophet? How would you feel if one started insulting Jesus. Your level of reasoning and lack of respect for a religion forces one to believe that you're an illiterate
It disgraces me that you speak like this. As if you didn't go to school. So all Muslims are terrorists, you are very shallow in thinking. Idiot. I don't blame you because you were not and still are not intelligent enough to make a clock. Fool
Lol, when I listen to Radio news before Linda post the news here I bust laugh. Muslem is now a threat to the world. Kai! This is very bad of ISIS.
Idiot
Fool
It's obvious you are an illiterate so you cannot commend some one for being innovative
Desperate times man! After 9-11 America has had to be on its toes, everybody became paranoid, it happened here in Nigeria where everybody ran away from bags. This is unfortunate but it is the time we live in.
Good for the little terrorist, Mohammed abeg no release am at all , all Muslims are evil
Obviously some one was drinking cowbell instead of breast milk when little
What do you expect? When Islam worldwide chose to unlesh death an hate on innocent people
Did u actually type dat shit or its error???
Not all Muslims are terrorist, but all terrorist are Muslims. Beware U neva can tell which of them is. Better too careful than too careless.
Expel that boy now or expect danger ahead.
Thank you for that i can imagine if the killed all Christians when a few Christians where killing people that weren't Christians will we be here today? Christianity was once known as the most violent religion in the past
watch ur tongue amaka if u dont av any reasonable comment u stop vomitimg nonsense.
Jeez man! You r desperate. You sent dis a million times.
This is sad!
Hmmmmm!! I don't blame the school authority nor the police. Islam then preach peace but today's Islam stands for crime and havoke to human. The boy might still produce bomb one day soonest.
Is nobody's fault all terrorists are Muslims so don't blame anyone
Yes Don't blame the teachers and Police but why referring To Muslim as the Terrorist that causes most World Problem.
Yea ada and I'm not a terrorist! Hehehe! Still doesn't have any link to dis boy's yeye tick tick clock.
You're avbig fool , you should be burnt to death !
@zina
You christians are so hateful and bitter towards muslims! When a muslim commits a crime you bastards are so quick to generalise all muslims but when it's your foolish christian that does something similar you don't make.it a religious issue. When the idiots in the east were fighting we didn't hear it being a religious thing but when boko haram came they were quickly labelled as an Islamic body even after evidences that they were clearly sponsored by political parties. The punishment that God will mete out on you fucking ignorant christians is coming soon. Later you will open your foolish mouths and ask your muslim colleagues and neighbours for sallah meat. Awon smellos oshi. Awon ole jati jati
@Zina May Allah forgive you
Dumb! So ignorant and dumb point of view. Smh
Nawah
some people here don't know how to talk saying they should search a little boy well maybe because you are sick upstairs and cant even create with your hands that's why you are just stagnant meanwhile if you say because he is a Muslim them what will you say about the white young boys shooting around killing young black ones around schools
I agree. Not all muslims are terrorists but ALL terrorists are muslims.
@anon 6.48, what makes you think the Zina person is Christian?
PM..
U are just bluffing everybody..... Lolz.
All Terrorists are Muslim but not all Muslims are Terrorists... Lolz..
Keep praying for the terror ones for change of heart.... Sebi, Ur God dey answer prayers?
You are a Muslim.... Don't hide ur identify... Be bold if u know u are right...
Don't be intimidated by anyone.....
Say what is right and say what the right God says....
Not all Muslims are Terrorists but all Terrorists are Muslims..... Am only passing, I no dey o!
U are correct for the very first time.... Lolz
Lolz.... Sebi, Omo Yoruba ni e... U neva pass Western region.. Go to the North East, na u Boko guys go kill first b4 killing Northern Muslims because... Dey no recognize ur own Muslim as better one..
U just sit down there dey talk jazz...
Dat white boy shooting na devil possessed and not Mohammed possessed....
The fact that you can say all terrorists are Muslims makes you an ignorant idiot. What about the KKK. Don't be an illiterate
If nothing else can come out of your pea sized brain then shut up
It's a comment like yours that made Zina to make his/her's.
Please calm down.. most of dis pple commenting badly here re not real christains dey dont have d love of God in dere heart if dey do, dey wont talk ill abt muslim... just like dere re bad eggs in islam, dere re also in christainity... so please no nid to insult anybody just forgive them for deir childlish behaviour... peace be unto u
