Was it a Time Bomb? #IStandWithAhmed

"You create the terrorists yourselves by allowing your fear consume you"



Some incident never seize to just amaze me, and the story of  14 year old , Ahmed Mohammed a 9th grader at a school in Texas getting arrested just fits into that category.
Here is how the story goes.
Ahmed Mohammed is an electronic genius and innovator 

According to Washington post, this boy built his own radio and once built a Bluetooth speaker as a gift for a friend.
And since Ahmed just joined a new school , he tried to show off his talent to his new teacher, so on Sunday he quickly created a "digital clock" "something small" as the 14year old put it but on seeing the watch the thought that occurred to one of the teachers of the school was that the "clock " looked like a bomb


How can you look at a young kid and think to yourself that this kid is a terrorist, even the ones that carry out suicide in some places in Africa are able to carry it out because the people doubt whether a kid is capable of such thing, but this teacher just  came to that conclusion.

According to a CNN official, the Engineering teacher told the boy to bring the watch to school and although commended him for it but a teacher did not share the same opinion and thought it was a bomb

The teacher was so scared of this boy's invention that he reported to the principal who called the "cops" and the set of cops that came were "no-do-gooders", they interrogated the boy as if he was a terrorist.

According to Ahmed, they took him to a room filled with five officers and he was interrogated and the officer kept on mentioning the name "Mohammed" Islamophobia so glaring! and when he asked to call his parents he was refused

After the questioning, Mohammed was taken to the police headquarters, head cuffed and fingerprinted

According to the boy, the leading officer out-rightly asked him,  "So you tried to make a bomb?

Ahmed according to reports has not gotten over the fact that he was handcuffed, he said "it made me feel like i wasn't human" it made me feel like a criminal.

Ahmed acording to reports has been suspended for 3 weeks from the news school.

And trust social media, the new frontier in my opinion as taken the issue up with the #IStandWithAhmed

My question now to the police who arrrested a 14year old boy is , Was it a Time Bomb?
