Of COURSE the father wouldn't sign it.

It'd interfere with his ability to make stuff up and have people believe it.
What a shocker.

They probably already are, especially being in Texas.

There's a psychological phenomenon whereby people would rather participate in a fraud than admit they'd been duped.
The examples in that article of even worse punishments that have happened to other kids -- though they didn't get the superstar treatment, swag and cash due to being the wrong color and religion -- are quite telling.

You do know that there are a lot of people with Middle Eastern roots who seamlessly interact globally with the rest of the world? Not everyone who lives in Middle Eastern countries is a radical, you know.

The picture of Ahmed with the president of Sudan (is it recent? I refuse to read and believe the Daily Caller) is concerning, but it's not relevant to the clock issue.
