Muslim Teen Arrested After Homemade Clock Is Mistaken for Bomb | NBC Nightly News

If he weren't a Muslim with the name Mohamed, this wouldn't be a story.

[ZacharyMon]

lol don't be mad guys. this kid is now set for life. he's going places

[MethosFilms]

stop calling him the muslim student... do u say christian student when they get arrested??? no u do not so stop it

[LineageErtheiaPvP]

his next project is a marathon timer in the shape of a pressure cooker.

[DuckMass]

A girl made a ATOMIC NUKE AND GETS AN A+ AND DOESN’T GET ARRESTED

[WaqManVR]

To be honest i dont blame the police i blame the school. When the police said a none Muslim student would have treated the same, i can potentially believe that. However i dont believe the police would have been called at all for a non Muslim student.

[papi-sauce]

transfer schools? come up to Canada where you wont be harassed for the dumbest things

[emilialoera]

Lol the way at the end when he puts up the peace sign and someone pulls him away

[gi-hadmohammed]

My brother was so close to doing Allahs work and they caught him!

[timgraf]

This clock is the first part of a time bomb.

One of my friends who goes to MacArthur says that the teacher who took this clock and gave to Principle for him to deal with and followed federal law of school safety act, and is now receiving death threats... the teacher's sister is married to a Muslim man.. i bet this family is sitting around laughing being like wow yea we are all such islamophobes... islamophobia is real and nasty this is not the case... why wont boy and family meet with school admin and police to sign papers to allow them to talk about it. Let it be a fair fight. Because now they can't because of privacy act between student and teacher known as FERPA!!!!

[shivsagarsingh]

Lol, They were thinking this project is time bomb.

[cnreidy]

Its crazy that this kid is now in Guantanamo Bay for terrorism

[galaxyeyescipherdragon]

The face there is a girl who built a NUCLEAR bomb and she got off Scott free

[david]

Hey, it is awful that this happened, but look at the world we are living in. It is really and truly a shame that this happened to such a intelligent student, and I share his love for science, so I am very much aware of how his enthusiasm drives him. I am very sorry this happened, and these smart students are exactly who we need to fight future terrorist attacks.

"Things that you can't bring to school" a clock? You can't bring a clock to school, you can't bring your phone to school because its distracting lets also mention there's a clock in it and not to mention there's clock in school too but a student can't bring a clock?

[gameelii]

I'm MUSLIM and proud and I love everyone (except Jews) jk

[Brynica]

after 7 years I still wonder why the girl who built the atomic bomb didn't get arrested

[markganus]

the workings and finishes of the device are nothing short of great - major electronics factories should start manufacturing real clocks after the design of ahmed's hand made patent.

[mardiyantoriskihartono]

😂
Its a clock science project. Poor him.
