9th grader arrested and handcuffed for building..........A CLOCK

It's assumed once the police are involved an explosives detector or bomb sniffing dog would be brought in with an array of other tools. If they were that worried was the parents home searched. Was a warrant even requested or process started? This kid was cuffed and kept away from his parents as juvenile.
 
I am doubtful that if he were a little blonde blue eyed Baptist, he would have been handcuffed and hauled away with his "bomb" impounded as evidence.

I'm positive that a child who was lily white might have been congratulated on his project. If the powers that be had been bright enough to figure out what he built...but there definitely wouldn't have been such a fuss. Small towns in particular can be intolerant of ANYTHING, closed societies if you will. I remember seeing the movie "The Kingdom" some years ago.

Small town in Pennsylvania, the audience all Wonder Bread. The theme of the movie was actually a lesson in tolerance. That war doesn't benefit anyone. That Muslim is a faith, not a terrorist. People were coming out and talking about it. The overwhelmingly loud opinion? Frickin' towelheads, nuke them all and let G-d sort 'em out.
Incredible, minds closed for life...

JIm.... Do BOMBs usually have an electric PLUG to plug into an outlet? That one has a cord and a PLUG...

As I previously stated there is absolutely no reason that a bomb cannot be detonated by use of AC power. It normally would require some form of electric to make it work unless it was some sort of manual fuse bomb device. When you see dynamite blown and you notice them pushing down a lever in a box that is a method of supplying portable power to effect the explosion. You could just as easily use AC from a wall outlet.
 
QS perhaps the plug is in actuality a plastic explosive prepared by Isis sympathisers for the express purpose of implicating this Muslim child in their nefarious plot to do....what? Good grief. I wonder if any of the detention centres used to lock up the Japanese are still viable?

You may be spot on... ISIS broke into the kids house... and outfitted the clock with a plastic explosive plug in order to fool the engineering teacher the kid was going to show it too.. The engineering teacher is secretly a Shiite infiltrator who is supplying information back to Baghdad. He is transmitting this information over his brain antennae.
 
Hmmm. Perhaps you are missing the enemy disguised as a friend, lurking across the border in The Great White North. Increase vigilance at the border crossings, subject all Canadianim wishing to enter the US to cavity searches, polygraphs, and five hour interrogations. After all so many terrorists use Canuckistan as a launching pad. Pleeeez.
 
Now something else to remember is that in many war torn countries they hide bombs in road kill. If you really want to make yourself paranoid think about that the next time you pass a fallen Bambi.
 
Jeez, now no one will want to enter America witwas clock or a pet. I guess they could search my cats after they do me. Eek. I don't think even the Persian is a Muslim terrorist--catterorrist definitely.
 
When I see a yucky dead possum in the street or alley all I think about is turning away and running. For whatever reason we have a lot of them here. Ick. Creeps me out.
 
I believe the point being made is that we have become so suspicious of anything Muslim, or Islamic that the terrorists have accomplished their goal and that is to interfere with our lives by having us fearful.. They didn't have to do another 911 to do that did they.
 
And the point is that the 9/11 terrorists were ethnically Saudi and Egyptian. The US still sleeps with the Sauds and no one mentioned invading Egypt at the time. Nothing really makes any sense no matter how you look at it.
 
Just out of curiosity. Other than just seeing them on the street, has anyone had any actual interaction with a Muslim and what was it like?
I have only had three that I know of. We were visiting a famous garden in Canada once, and a young woman wearing the head scarf was struggling to get her baby's stroller off of a tram. I helped her off and got a quiet thank you.
My wife had a Muslim friend at work and everyone liked her. They used to Joke about waiting for the end of Ramadan, so she could eat whatever she wanted again. I liked her.
We had to sort out a complicated problem with our cell phones in Best Buy. We were fortunate to be helped by Ahmed, who spent much time and effort to resolve things. He was efficient, warm and caring. Mentioned how we reminded him of his grandmother.
That's not much contact, but it was all pleasant enough and certainly non-hostile.
 
OMG..... Every single day at work. I work in healthcare.. we have Muslims of all medical disciplines working there. I have never had a problem with any of them. All were very personable and very nice... except some of the Docs who maintained the old "nurses are our handmaidens" mentality.. but that wasn't just the Muslims.. that was a lot of the older docs as that used to be the culture in healthcare.. The younger docs are not at all like that.

Maybe that's why I'm not as intimidated as they are not strange to me.. I've been around so many and worked side by side.. some are friendly, some are distant, some are capable, some aren't. They are just people IMO.

Exactly. We are all us.
 
One of the therapists I work with is Muslim. Wonderful therapist, kind compassionate man. Some of our female vets with PTSD who normally insist on a female therapist, are happy to be referred to him.
 
Apparently the reason he was arrested/cuffed he was arrested for a hoax bomb which is an actual offense.

Also some say the clock wasn't made from scratch but from a kit. Radio Shack 1986

Large Muslim group not mad at police but the political climate. Said they don't blame the police for checking it out.

And of course invited to the White House.
 
How could it be a "hoax bomb" if he kept telling everyone it was a CLOCK? how was it a Hoax? He never ever said it was anything but a clock.
