A 14-year-old Muslim boy who was arrested after teachers mistook a clock he made for a bomb has returned to the US with a deeper knowledge of his religion and a desire to change the world.
Ahmed Mohamed has returned home to Texas for the summer after his brush with the law at Irving MacArthur High School led his family to move to Qatar.
During his eight months in the Middle East, Mohamed said he visited the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia with his family and enjoyed learning more about Islam at school, where the religion is embedded in the curriculum.
The teen, who has an invitation to work as an intern at Twitter this summer, hopes to attend MIT and utilize his knack for inventing to help those in need.

Mohamed was arrested in September after a teacher mistook his homemade digital clock for a bomb.
Speaking after his release from a juvenile detention center, Ahmed said: 'It made me feel like a I wasn't a human. It made me feel like I was a criminal.'
His family questioned whether he was mistreated due to his religion and eventually left Irving, Texas, after reporting threats.
The teenager said he had to adjust to the school system in Qatar, where subjects like biology and chemistry are covered in the span of six weeks, the Dallas News reported.
But the teenager appreciated the chance to take classes on the Quran and history of Islam, saying: 'I felt good being able to learn my religion because it wasn't an opportunity I had here in the US.'
Mohamed added that he missed the diversity in America, and said he hoped his story could serve as a positive talking point about the challenges Muslims face.
He said: 'I want to help change Texas for a better state, and I hope that not just for Texas, but the entire world.
'People sometimes don't want to admit their mistakes, and sometimes the best thing to do is to help them change.'

The teenager received an outpouring of support on social media following his arrest, and President Barack Obama even invited him to the White House.
The publicity also made him subject to online harassment, but Mohamed said he chooses to take the high road and not let negative comments bother him.
'I've matured more. It's normal to mature but I've matured way more since I got a little bit of publicity, and I'm happy for it, ' he said.
The teen's father Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed told FOX4: 'It's beautiful to be here in USA.
'It is our home and it is our country and we love it. As you see, if there is something wrong, America will stand for it and that is what happened.

He also sees the incident as an important lesson for his son, and said: 'You can't get honey without the sting of the bee.'
During his visit to the US, the teen hopes to visit NASA, Facebook, and MIT, where he one day hopes to double-major in physics and electrical engineering.
His experiences outside the US have inspired him to help people access medicine and electricity.
'There's a lot of trouble going on around the world right now.
'I just want to invent,' Ahmed said. 'I want to help the world a lot, and it would be amazing to see my creations in action.'

Ahmed said he built the clock in his bedroom in about 20 minutes using a circuit board, a digital display and several wires.
He enclosed the device into a pencil case with a tiger hologram on the front.
Ahmed said he first showed his invention to his engineering teacher, who gave him some advice.
'He was like, 'That's really nice. I would advise you not to show that to other teachers.''
He kept the clock in his bag, but it started to beep later in the day during an English class. He showed his clock to the teacher who said it looked like a bomb.
He said he made the clock using a circuit board, a digital display and put it into a metal 'pencil box'.
The teenager said he did not lock the box as he 'did not want it to look suspicious'. Instead he secured it with a cable.
Ahmed said the principal claimed his clock looked like a 'movie bomb'.

He did not MAKE a clock. He disassembled one to make it LOOK like a timing device. He did it as a prank, and his family are activists.

We will see this kid on the news one day and not in a positive light.

Back like a reoccuring nightmare. Why couldn't he have just stayed over there?

So he goes back to the mother country to be further indoctrinated in to the ideology of hate. Great, and the US government allows him back in again. Genius.

Another one in the making on US soil

Don't worry.

Those eagle eyes in the F.B.I. will be on top of this.

No way they let one of these nuts slip through their grasp.

Only a zero like Obama would be so incredibly impressed that a kid has the God given talent to remove the cover off of an alarm clock and glue it to a board that he'd actually invite him to the WH.

roadreeler57 · Jul 2, 2016

Looks like he took a clock apart & made a diffrent type of bigger display panel for it....He couldve put it into something else besides a briefcase though....probably a prank or to get attention which he got plenty of....

On Thursday, the 162[SUP]nd[/SUP] District Court of Texas ruled decisively against Mohammed Mohammed, father of Ahmed “Clock Boy” Mohammed, dismissing Mohammed’s complaint against Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro and awarding Shapiro his attorneys’ fees as well.
“This is an excellent day for free speech,” Shapiro said. “Using law as warfare is perhaps the most disgusting tactic of politically correct activists across the country, and we couldn’t be more excited to stand up against such frivolous use of our court system. My initial comments suggested that false charges of Islamophobia only muddy the waters when it comes to policing actual dangerous activity, and I’m proud to fight back against such charges.”

Shapiro was represented by Kurt Schlichter, Esq., of Schlichter & Shonack, LLP, in Los Angles, and Chris K. Gober, Esq., and Ross Fischer, Esq., of The Gober Group, PLLC, of Austin, Texas.
“I could not be prouder than to have had the opportunity, along with Chris and Ross, to help Ben protect every American’s right to speak out on important issues,” Schlichter said. “Ben never once wavered, never even considered giving in, and we are grateful that the Court has unequivocally reaffirmed his and every American’s right to speak freely.”
Here is the complete court order:

[h=2]DALLAS, Texas — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the family of Ahmed “Clock Boy” Mohamed Friday accusing the Irving Independent School District and the City of Irving of religious discrimination.[/h]The lawsuit filed last year alleged Mohamed’s civil rights were violated when he was arrested in 2015 after taking a homemade digital clock-in-a-box to his high school where it was mistaken by a teacher for a “hoax bomb,” Breitbart Texas reported.

Ultimately, no charges were filed against the teen once the situation sorted itself out, although Mohamed served three days of suspension before his family withdrew him from the Irving Independent School District and relocated to Qatar after accepting a full scholarship to attend a Qatar Foundation school.
The federal complaint also claimed a history of anti-Muslim sentiment in Irving and that the then 14-year-old teen was discriminated against based on race and religion. On Friday, the judge ruled there was no evidence of either.
Previously, Breitbart Texas reported that the teen’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, sued for $15 million in damages and demanded apologies from Irving Independent School District and City officials.
Last October, the Thompson & Horton, LLP, attorneys for Irving ISD and high school Principal Daniel Cummings filed motions to dismiss this federal lawsuit, citing that the plaintiff’s father failed to state a claim on which relief could be granted.
Breitbart Texas reported:

One of the points attorneys argued in the school district’s motion to dismiss summary was that public schools have a “substantial interest” in “maintaining discipline in the classroom and on school grounds.” The document stated: “The device was disturbing enough that a teacher directed him to keep the device in his backpack — an instruction that A.M. promptly disobeyed in his English class.”

Breitbart Texas obtained a statement from Thompson & Horton, LLP, in which they responded to the dismissal:

We are pleased with the decision reached by Judge Sam Lindsay. The court recognized the challenging situations faced by the individuals who serve our communities in public schools. Schools and principals must make decisions every day regarding student safety. The opinion confirms that there was no suggestion of discriminatory intent by any school district employee.
As the court explained, “Principals are responsible for the safety of students and others on campus and, as part of that responsibility, often have to make decisions quickly and with little information…. A principal’s fate is not so hapless that, on the one hand, by not taking action he is faced with the gruesome prospect of death or serious injury of persons had the device actually been a bomb and exploded; and, on the other hand, he is faced with a federal lawsuit for denial of a student’s constitutional rights because the device turned out not to be a bomb.”

In January, a Texas district judge threw out a defamation lawsuit filed by the Mohamed patriarch on behalf of his son against a handful of media organizations and public figures.

If this dipshit had shown up at the front door of the White House (or even any random government building) holding what he made for school, he'd have been hauled away in handcuffs.
