Ahmed Mohamed, the Muslim teenager who made headlines last year when he was suspended for bringing a homemade clock to school in Irving, returned to the United States Monday afternoon.

“Ahmed and his family have missed his grandmother, his aunts, uncles, cousins and friends here in Irving and across North Texas very much,” Aldean Mohamed said. “Ahmed and his nuclear family miss America and their whole family here in America very much.”



The 14-year-old said he's happy to be back home, and seeing his friends and family is first priority. He's been going to school in Qatar and says there's a 50/50 chance he'll finish high school in the U.S., but says he definitely wants to go to college here. He says he's interested in coding, engineering and technology.



Awwww How Cute, Obamaboy wants to return to the USA. He should be blocked form returning.

Why? He didn't do anything wrong and his Dad ( in the article ) made some of the most patriotic statements I've ever heard coming from a Muslim. He said living in America is beautiful and that when his son was wronged, America stood up and made it right.

I don't see any budding terrorist here.

There are several things about this story that always bothered me. It just didn't ring true. The briefcase clock didn't look like it was made to be that. It looks like it was made specifically to LOOK LIKE a BOMB, not a clock. If you are skeptical:


I don't know this kid, but he seems pretty smart and this is the best he could come up with? I don't know.

Story: Innocent Muslim boy naively takes his creation to school, where evil white redneck administrators demand his expulsion! It seems like the kid was set up as a victim, only to be redeemed, proving that Muslims don't make bombs after all, see, America!!!??? (to be clear, of course I don't think that all Muslims are terrorists. It's a fraction of a fraction of a percent, not much different from any other religion) And then he gets invited to the White House. Call me a skeptic, but the story seems like it was manufactured from the highest levels of the government, to quell the fires of anti-Islamic sentiment. Is it so far-fetched to think the government doesn't resort to PR manipulation of the public by staging public incidents? It has been done before.

The country is a bit of a powder keg with the wars we are waging in and outside the country. There is always a danger of things getting out of hand as happened in Sacramento. I think that the powers that be will do everything they can think of to maintain order, including staging "incidents."

Whats my point? The point is that Ahmed was too good to stay in the United States. He then moved to Qatar and accepted a scholarship from a organization with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. He now wants to come back because he thought Qatar would be way better of him than america. He should stay in Qatar, its where he belongs now.

Neither do I. Rather, I just see a tendency for attention getting stunts.

The father has been known to make grandiose statements in the past, and Clock Boy's show and tell with the clock was not his first "look at me" stunt. The teacher, being familiar with him, had told him to keep his "invention" ( a clock removed from it's case) in his back pack and not to plug it in. Of course, Clock Boy was not inclined to follow that instruction. He then plugged it in and waited for it to be noticed.

Though this does not warrant the later over reaction, Clock Boy's father had a Go Fund Me page up and running with in days to "Keep Ahmed building"- Yeah, right.

I rather doubt it. Rather, he will just move in next to this crew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_boy_hoax
