On Wednesday, Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro and his attorney, Kurt Schlichter, had reason to celebrate their victory in court on a free speech issue: the appeal filed by Ahmed Mohamed, aka &#8220;Clock Boy,&#8221; to reverse a lower court&#8217;s ruling that ruled for Shapiro was completely dismissed.
To recapitulate the case, as the court reported, Ahmed Mohammed was a Muslim and a United States citizen who emigrated with his father from Sudan to reside in Irving, Texas. On September 14, 2015, Mohammed was 13 and in his freshman year of high school when he brought a homemade alarm clock to his school and showed it to a teacher, who took it from him and contacted a school resource officer.
Later in the school day, Mohammed was escorted out of class to meet with police officers and the school counselor, then later arrested and taken to the Irving Police Department for bringing a &#8220;hoax bomb&#8221; to school. The charges were dropped by the Irving Police Department on September 16, 2015, but his school suspended him for three days for his actions.
That precipitated national news attention; the New York Times, the Dallas Morning News, the Washington Post, the New York Post and the Huffington Post all covered the story.

<blockquote>
His parents had a choice: deal with this quietly, or tell someone. Their son had been placed in handcuffs and interrogated, in a town known for its resentment of Muslims. So they called the media, and soon Ahmed was trending on Twitter, and everyone from Mark Zuckerberg to President Obama was sharing messages of support.
</blockquote>
On September 16, 2015, Mohamed hosted a press conference at the family residence to respond to the arrest and to speak to the press. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) co-hosted the press conference and noted in its press release that &#8220;the incident is symptomatic of growing Islamophobia in American society.&#8221;
Mohamed appeared on &#8220;Good Morning America,&#8221; &#8220;The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore,&#8221; and MSNBC. On September 17, 2015, the website The Daily Beast released an <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/man-i-went-viral-my-day-with-ahmed-mohamed-the-most-famous-boy-on-earth">article</a> entitled &#8220;&#8216;Man, I Went Viral&#8217;: My Day with Ahmed Mohamed, the Most Famous Boy on Earth.&#8221; The article discussed Islamophobia, Mohamed trending on Twitter, the additional media appearances&#8212;Ellen DeGeneres and Stephen Colbert&#8212;being offered to Mohamed and the fact that his name came up in the Republican presidential debates. President Barack Obama tweeted an invitation for Mohamed to come to the White House and Hillary Clinton and Mark Zuckerberg expressed public support for Mohamed; CAIR named Mohamed as the American Muslim of the Year; he attended astronomy night at the White House.
After all of this, Shapiro appeared on The Kelly File on October 19, 2015. During Shapiro&#8217;s interview, he asserted that the alarm clock incident was a &#8220;hoax&#8221; and a &#8220;setup&#8221; and that Mohamed&#8217;s father used his son to advance his agenda.
In 2016, Ahmed Mohamed&#8217;s father filed suit against Shapiro, asserting claims for defamation and defamation per se. Shapiro filed a motion to dismiss the claims pursuant to chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code by alleging that his statements were non-actionable opinions, Ahmed Mohamed was required to prove actual malice because he was an all-purpose public figure or limited purpose public figure, the plaintiff could not establish actual malice or show that Shapiro&#8217;s statements were false, and Shapiro&#8217;s statements were protected as &#8220;fair comments&#8221; and under the qualified privilege.
The trial court granted Shapiro&#8217;s motion to dismiss and awarded Shapiro his attorney&#8217;s fees and costs. Mohamed then filed a notice of appeal.
Justice David Evans, writing for the Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas, wrote that the controversy was public, that Mohamed had more than a trivial or tangential role in the controversy, and that the alleged defamation directly related to Mohamed&#8217;s participation in the controversy. He pointed out that the actual malice standard requires that a defendant have, subjectively, significant doubt about the truth of his statements at the time they are made.
Shapiro had argued that Mohamed offered &#8220;no evidence of malice, much less clear and specific evidence&#8221; and that a &#8220;defendant does not demonstrate actual malice merely by failing to somehow verify the subjective intentions of the plaintiff, and the Brief never explains how Ahmed Mohamed&#8217;s intentions could somehow be verified.&#8221; Shapiro added that he was not being &#8220;sued for lying about the Appellants but for interpreting the facts in a manner they do not approve of.&#8221; Shapiro asserted that he made his statements &#8220;without actual malice and without knowledge that they are in whole or in part untrue. In fact, I stand by my statements, having believed them to be true at the time I made them, and I continue to believe them to be true today.&#8221; He added he had &#8220;no independent knowledge of facts that would exonerate them of what I believe is their attempt to promote their agenda.&#8221;
Evans wrote, &#8220;After a review of the evidence in its entirety, we conclude that Mohamed has not demonstrated a prima facie showing of actual malice. As stated above, to establish actual malice, a plaintiff must prove that the defendant made the statement with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was true or not.&#8221;
Evans concluded, &#8220;On the record of this case, we affirm the trial court&#8217;s granting of the motions to dismiss and denial of the motion for reconsideration. &#8220;
The court ruled that all costs Shapiro incurred had to be covered by Mohamed.

Court Of Appeals Ends ‘Clock Boy’ Case Against Shapiro With A Bang

Ben Shapiro

Clock Boy

Time is up for “Clock Boy” Ahmed Mohamed and his father Mohamed’s desperate, attention-seeking, discrimination lawsuit against the city of Irving, Texas, and its school district.
On Tuesday, United States District Judge Sam Lindsay <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/irving/2018/03/14/clockboy-ahmed-mohamed-lawsuit-irving-isd-city-dismissed" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dismissed</a> the Mohameds’ lawsuit “with prejudice,” meaning the case is over and done with.
Not 10 months ago, in May 2017, Judge Lindsay dismissed a similar discrimination suit by the family.
He ruled that no Irving city or school official “intentionally discriminated against A.M. based on his race or religion” when, in September 2015, officials questioned and arrested Ahmed for bringing to school what looked like a bomb.
But at the time of that ruling the judge left the door open to the Mohameds amending and refiling their lawsuit, which they did a few days later.
On September 14, 2015, Ahmed, then 14, brought a reassembled digital clock to school to show his teachers.
But the clock looked more like a bomb. So his teacher, acting as any responsible teacher would when confronted with something that looks like a bomb, confiscated it and reported the incident to the school’s principal, who decided the potential of a threat was plausible enough to call the police.
When police came to the school, they questioned Ahmed and were able to determine that the device was not a bomb. But they arrested him under the suspicion that it may have been a “hoax bomb,” and brought him to the police station so as to be able to further clarify the boy’s intentions.
Police later released Ahmed to his parents, and did not charge him, determining that he had no malicious intent.
Ahmed became an overnight cause célèbre among progressives, who pointed to the school’s reaction to Ahmed’s clock that looked like a bomb as an example of racism and Islamophobia.
President Obama <a href="https://twitter.com/potus44/status/644193755814342656?lang=en">tweeted</a>, “Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House?” Hillary Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg, Google, and Twitter also extended their support.
Four days after the incident, Ahmed’s father said his son would be withdrawing from the school. The next month the family moved to Qatar, where Ahmed reportedly received an education scholarship from the Qatar Foundation.
In November 2015, Ahmed’s family threatened Irving and the school district with a lawsuit if they did not pay the laughable sum of $15 million — plus offer a public apology. Irving refused.
The following year the Mohameds filed multiple lawsuits. One was the discrimination against Irving and the school district, which called for unspecified damages.
Judge Lindsay <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/irving/2017/05/19/judge-dismisses-clock-boy-ahmed-mohameds-suit-irving-isd">dismissed</a> it, explaining that Principal Daniel Cummings was “responsible for the safety of students and others on campus” and made a reasonable decision given the limited information he had available, and the perceived risk of the device actually being a bomb.
The other lawsuit was a defamation suit against several media outlets and commentators, including Ben Shapiro and Glenn Beck. That was quickly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/13100/implosion-clock-boy-lawsuit-against-shapiro-ben-shapiro">thrown out</a> as well, with legal fees and court costs awarded to the defendants.
Yesterday’s one-paragraph dismissal by Judge Lindsay brings Clock Boy’s record in court to 0-3.

On Thursday, the 162nd District Court of Texas ruled decisively against Mohammed Mohammed, father of Ahmed &#8220;Clock Boy&#8221; Mohammed, dismissing Mohammed&#8217;s complaint against Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro and awarding Shapiro his attorneys&#8217; fees as well.
&#8220;This is an excellent day for free speech,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;Using law as warfare is perhaps the most disgusting tactic of politically correct activists across the country, and we couldn&#8217;t be more excited to stand up against such frivolous use of our court system. My initial comments suggested that false charges of Islamophobia only muddy the waters when it comes to policing actual dangerous activity, and I&#8217;m proud to fight back against such charges.&#8221;
Shapiro was represented by Kurt Schlichter, Esq., of Schlichter &amp; Shonack, LLP, in Los Angles, and Chris K. Gober, Esq., and Ross Fischer, Esq., of The Gober Group, PLLC, of Austin, Texas.
&#8220;I could not be prouder than to have had the opportunity, along with Chris and Ross, to help Ben protect every American&#8217;s right to speak out on important issues,&#8221; Schlichter said. &#8220;Ben never once wavered, never even considered giving in, and we are grateful that the Court has unequivocally reaffirmed his and every American&#8217;s right to speak freely.&#8221;
Here is the complete court order:

IMPLOSION: ‘Clock Boy’ Lawsuit Against Shapiro Dismissed, Shapiro Awarded Attorneys’ Fees

<div>
On Tuesday, a district court judge in Texas slammed the door shut on a defamation lawsuit filed on behalf of &#8220;Clock Boy&#8221; Ahmed Mohamed by his father against a host of people and companies, including a local Fox News affiliate, Glenn Beck, TheBlaze, and the mayor of Irving, Texas. 
Mohamed rose to fame about a year ago when he brought a clock that looked a whole lot more like a bomb than a clock to his high school in Irving. When Mohamed began acting strangely, the police came in and briefly detained him, after which he was suspended for three days for what school authorities suspected was a &#8220;hoax bomb&#8221; stunt. Clock Boy&#8217;s family and the Counsel on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) pushed the incident as a textbook example of &#8220;Islamophobia&#8221; and the then-14-year-old became the darling of the Left, endearing himself to none other than President Barack Obama, who praised the clock he &#8220;invented&#8221; (he actually just took the outer casing off <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHk_6Vh4Qeo">an already working clock</a> and put it in a sketchy looking case) as a <a href="https://twitter.com/potus/status/644193755814342656?lang=en">&#8220;cool&#8221;</a> and invited him to the White House.
His father sued Center for Security Policy&#8217;s Jim Hanson and Beck because of statements made by Hanson on Beck&#8217;s show <a href="http://www.americanfreedomlawcenter.org/press-release/court-clock-boys-defamation-lawsuit-dismissed-aflc-lawyers-ask-court-to-award-sanctions/#.WHUSw4IIS6Y.twitter">about</a> &#8220;the connection between the Clock Boy hoax bomb affair, the attendant media frenzy created in large part by his father Mohamed, civilization jihad, and the Counsel on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas front group in the United States that promotes civilization jihad.&#8221;
According to the American Freedom Law Center&#8217;s <a href="http://www.americanfreedomlawcenter.org/press-release/court-clock-boys-defamation-lawsuit-dismissed-aflc-lawyers-ask-court-to-award-sanctions/#.WHUSw4IIS6Y.twitter">account </a>of the trial, the attorney for Clock Boy did not have her best day in court: 
<blockquote>
During the lengthy hearing, Judge [Maricela] Moore pressed Mohamed&#8217;s lawyer, Fort Worth attorney Susan Hutchison, to provide any facts that would suggest that Hanson and the other defendants had said anything false or defamatory about Mohamed or his son during the television broadcasts. After spending a painfully embarrassing 15 minutes flipping through reams of paper, Mohamed&#8217;s lawyer was unable to provide any such evidence.
</blockquote>
While Mohamed&#8217;s attorney seemed to find it difficult to come up with much to say, the lawyers with AFLC , which filed the motion to dismiss the groundless charges on behalf of two of the people accused by Clock Boy, apparently did not have a hard time making their arguments.
<blockquote>
During the hearing, AFLC co-founder and senior counsel David Yerushalmi explained to Judge Moore that the purpose of the lawfare-driven lawsuit was to intimidate into silence those who might comment publicly on the connection between jihad, terrorism, sharia, and Islam. As such, Yerushalmi argued, &#8220;this case is a classic Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation or &#8216;SLAPP&#8217; case and should be dismissed.&#8221; 
</blockquote>
Judge Moore issued her ruling the same day, dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice. 
After he left the courtroom, Yerushalmi offered some more thoughts on the attempts of Islamists to silence critics. &#8220;This lawsuit filed by Clock Boy&#8217;s father is yet another example of Islamist lawfare, which is a component of the Muslim Brotherhood&#8217;s civilization jihad,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;The Islamists employ the progressive mainstream media to label any public criticism of a sharia-centric, jihad-driven Islam as &#8216;Islamophobic,&#8217; and they add fear and financial ruin to the equation by utilizing the legal system to file SLAPP actions.&#8221;
</div>
<div>
The AFLC is now actively seeking sanctions against Mohamed&#8217;s father and asking for the court to cover legal fees.

Clock Boy’s Attempt to Sue Fox News & Glenn Beck Implodes

CAIR

Fox News

Glenn Beck

Radical Islam

On Monday, Mohamed Mohamed, father of Ahmed Mohamed, better known as &#8220;clock boy,&#8221; sued Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro, Fox News, and Glenn Beck, among others, for defamation. On September 14, 2015, then-13-year-old Ahmed Mohamed famously brought a device to school in Irving, Texas claiming that he had &#8220;built&#8221; a clock; the clock looked suspiciously like an explosive device, and so school authorities took him out of class and called the police. The police temporarily held Mohamed, worried that he had constructed what they called a &#8220;hoax bomb,&#8221; before releasing him, but his story became a cause celebre due to charges of Islamophobia; President Obama asked Mohamed to bring his clock to the White House.
Now, Ahmed&#8217;s father is suing multiple media companies and personalities for defamation, including The Blaze, Glenn Beck, Center for Security Policy, Fox Television Stations, LLC, Ben Ferguson, and Beth Van Duyne, as well as Shapiro.
On October 19, 2015, Shapiro appeared on Fox News&#8217; The Kelly File, where he stated that the entire situation was &#8220;a hoax, this was a setup and that President Obama fell for it because it confirms a couple of his pre-stated biases against police and against people who he perceives to be Islamophobic.&#8221; Shapiro added that Obama was &#8220;constantly shooting first and asking questions later&#8221; with regard to the police, and stated that &#8220;the story didn&#8217;t hold water from the beginning. Within the first forty-eight hours it was clear that this was a bit of a set-up and it was clear that the story didn&#8217;t hold together.&#8221; Shapiro theorized that Mohamed &#8220;took the guts out of an old clock, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHk_6Vh4Qeo">you can see people do it on YouTube</a>. He literally took the guts out of an old clock, the wiring, and he put it inside of a pencil box and proceeded to bring that into the school and this is not the first family incident that has been like this. His sister had an incident in 2009 that was somewhat similar.&#8221; Shapiro was referring to a report from <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/23/ahmeds-sister-admits-school-suspension-alleged-bomb-threat-3-years-earlier/">Breitbart News</a> that stated that &#8220;the sister of the boy who brought a suspected hoax-bomb to his Texas high school said she was suspended from a school in a prior bomb scare.&#8221;
The lawsuit demands an apology from Shapiro, Fox News, and other commentators.
This is not the Mohamed family&#8217;s only ongoing lawsuit; they&#8217;ve also sued the city of Irving and the school district for some $15 million and apologies.

BREAKING: ‘Clock Boy’ Sues Shapiro, Fox News, Glenn Beck

Apparently the work Ahmed Mohamed, AKA Clock Boy, did by <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/7129/ahmed-clock-boy-returns-hate-filled-texas-change-james-barrett">convincing people</a> that what looked like a bomb could be a fake has created a subset of people who think objects that look like bombs might be harmless enough to touch.
The latest case in point: Jane Schreibman, a Manhattan photographer, heard the blast from the first explosion in the Chelsea neighborhood Saturday night, then saw a pressure cooker with wires coming out of it into what looked like a cellphone, yet thought the pressure cooker was a science experiment.
Schreibman told <a href="http://nypost.com/2016/09/18/photog-who-found-second-chelsea-bomb-thought-device-was-a-science-project/">The New York Post</a> she had left her home on 27th Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues at roughly 10 p,m. Saturday night after she heard about the first Chelsea explosion. She stated, &#8220;I had just taken maybe 15 steps from my front door, and I saw a pot on the side of the road. It looked weird, and I thought it was a kid&#8217;s science experiment, with wires coming out of the pressure cooker every which way. I thought someone was throwing it out.&#8221;
Schreibman, 66, admitted:
<blockquote>
I had heard the explosion, but I thought it was thunder. But I just thought it was going to rain, and I forgot about it. The vision of the pot stayed in my mind, and I decided to take another look at this strange object. It had duct tape, and wires going into the cellphone or remote of some sort. But I couldn&#8217;t tell because it was all wrapped up in tape. The remote pointed into a white plastic bag. They&#8217;re always saying if you see something suspicious, you should call, so I did.
</blockquote>
After she <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3795471/Photographer-reveals-second-device-Manhattan-explosion-bomb-squad-told-run-off.html">called 911</a> from her home phone, she went outside her apartment to watch for them. She said, &#8220;A man, I guess he was a detective, saw me, and he shouted &#8216;RUN!&#8221; She ran to a friend&#8217;s house, but returned to her home every few hours to check on her cat.
At 3 a.m. Sunday, she finally returned home for good.
Even after the experience, Schreibman insisted, &#8220;It was still such a weird thing. I can&#8217;t believe it was really a bomb.&#8221;

Clock Boy’s Ripple Effect: Woman Finding NY Bomb Thought It Was A Science Project

New York City

On Monday, after a day of silence on the terror attacks in New York and Minnesota and the attempted terror attacks in New Jersey, President Obama finally took to the podium to explain that Americans must remain vigilant. &#8220;To everybody in this region,&#8221; Obama said, &#8220;I want to repeat what we&#8217;ve said before: if you see something suspicious, then you need to say something.&#8221;
Unfortunately, President Obama has presented American citizens with something of a catch-22: if they see a Muslim do something suspicious and say something, they may be on the receiving end of a diatribe from the White House and the media.
Today, <a href="http://nypost.com/2016/09/18/photog-who-found-second-chelsea-bomb-thought-device-was-a-science-project/">for example</a>, the second bomb planted by Ahmad Rahimi found in Chelsea on Saturday night. The finder, Jane Schriebman, described the device thusly: &#8220;I had just taken maybe 15 steps from my front door, and I saw a pot on the side of the road. It looked weird, and I thought it was a kid&#8217;s science experiment, with wires coming out of the pressure cooker every which way. I thought someone was throwing it out.&#8221;
It turns out that the pressure cooker was a bomb, of course, just like the pressure cooker bomb used by the Tsarnaev brothers in the Boston marathon bombing.
Now flash back to September 2015, when a different Ahmed, 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed, took a clock that looked precisely like a bomb to school. The administration called him out of class; he was briefly detained by police before being released. He then tweeted out a picture, and the president of the United States offered to bring young Ahmed, victim of Islamophobia, to the White House. #IStandWithAhmed trended on Twitter, Mark Zuckerberg offered Mohamed an internship at Facebook, and Mohamed ended up hugging Obama.
Good thing the clock was just a clock.
Good thing Rahimi decided not to cloak his bomb as a clock. Otherwise, he might have been invited to the White House before the damn thing went off.
But that wasn&#8217;t the only ironic sign that political correctness gets people killed when it comes to terrorism. In 2011, according to The Daily Mail (UK), Rahami filed a federal lawsuit along with his family against the police, claiming he was the victim of Islamophobia. He said he was a victim of &#8220;selective enforcement&#8221; based on religious profiling, and that his family&#8217;s restaurant was harassed by the police with useless summonses; his brother eventually got into a fight with the cops, then fled to Afghanistan to avoid prosecution. Ahmad was arrested at the time for &#8220;obstruction of justice, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.&#8221; The court dismissed the complaint with prejudice.
But it&#8217;s precisely this sort of activity that the media love to report and cluck over, incentivizing police and neighbors not to scrutinize suspicious behavior by Muslims. Remember that a neighbor of the San Bernardino terrorists told the press that he suspected nefarious activity based on the comings and goings of strangers to his <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/1562/san-bernardino-proves-once-and-all-political-ben-shapiro">neighbors&#8217; apartment</a>: &#8220;A man who has been working in the area said he noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people. &#8220;We sat around lunch thinking, &#8216;What war they doing around the neighborhood?&#8217;&#8221; he said. &#8220;We&#8217;d see them leave where they&#8217;re raiding the apartment.&#8221; In 2006, Muslim terrorists planned a massacre at Fort Dix, and were only thwarted because a clerk at Circuit City was asked to copy a tape of the suspects shooting guns and talking about jihad; he considered doing nothing about it because he was afraid that would be &#8220;being racist.&#8221;
No one&#8217;s in favor of innocent Muslims being targeted. But suspicious behavior is suspicious behavior, and the left&#8217;s habit of demonizing anyone who reports those in a protected victim class for such behavior means that terrorism will be more common.

Radical Islamic Terror

Clock Boy, aka Ahmed Mohamed, the kid that brought a “clock” to his Texas high school that looked exactly like a bomb and then cried foul play after he was detained, suing his school for millions, has been trying to stay relevant by launching an anti-American crusade on Twitter.
Under the self-aggrandizing verified Twitter account @IStandWithAhmed, Clock Boy has commented on everything from Black Lives Matter to 9/11, impressively finding a way to bash America and spin everything in the news to fit his agenda of “Islamophobia”-grounded victimhood.
Here’s what Mohamed tweeted on 9/11, the day the nation mourned the loss of nearly 3,000 Americans who died after Islamic terrorists rammed their planes into the Twin Towers.

The false moral equivalence Mohamed draws here is disturbing. In comparing the American war against terror to a premeditated Islamic terrorist attack, he equates the United States, and by extension, the West, to barbaric jihadists hell-bent on enforcing Sharia law and killing all Americans who refuse to submit to an Islamic way of life.
Whether you agree with the war in Iraq or not, Mohamed’s suggestion that the US intentionally targets Muslims the same way Islamic terrorists target non-believers is patently absurd. Actually, it’s disgusting.
Check out another tweet posted seven days later. Here, Clock Boy demonizes US foreign policy, implying once again that America is deliberately attacking defenseless civilians rather than murderous Islamic terrorists. No, Ahmed, American troops hunting down Taliban and al-Qaida operatives isn’t immoral. You know what is, though? Framing a fight against terrorism as a bloodthirsty American colonial project.

In addition to his posts about 9/11 and American self-defense, Clock Boy has supported BLM activists like Shaun King, finding common cause in identity politics.
But the kid who moved to Qatar (yes, Qatar) after claiming that America was too racist seems to have an obsession with President Obama.
In fact, Clock Boy has retweeted hero-worshipping posts about Obama more than times than you could count.

To be fair, the love may be mutual. After all, President Obama was Ahmed’s number one fan; he was the one who invited Ahmed to the White House, initially granting Clock Boy his 15 minutes of fame.
In recent months, Ahmed has done quite a lot to tear into the Leftist allegation that he’s somehow an innocent victim of big bad American racists. Actually, Ahmed has single-handedly undermined the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpy7R2MM6ng">myth of the moderate Muslim</a>. After <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/1546/clock-boy-left-qatar-then-sued-texas-police-chase-stephens">suing the Texas police department, he fled to Qatar</a>, an Islamic hellhole infamous for its abuse of women and subjugation of religious minorities. So much for tolerance. When reports surfaced that <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/339/clock-kids-father-911-truther-james-barrett">Ahmed had met with Muslim Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir</a>, we all thought it couldn’t get worse. Well, it did. As <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/339/clock-kids-father-911-truther-james-barrett">The Daily Wire reported</a>, Clock Boy’s “moderate” Muslim father may actually be a 9/11 truther and anti-American agitator.
All of this comes as the White House continues to sow racial strife and propagate the false narrative of “Islamophobia.&#8221;

Here’s All The Crazy Anti-American Crap ‘Clock Boy’ Has Been Posting Lately

Patriotism

On Monday, the family of Ahmed &#8220;Clock Boy&#8221; Mohammed filed a federal lawsuit against school officials in Texas alleging that last year’s arrest-incident violated Ahmed’s civil rights. &#8220;Clock boy&#8221; was arrested last September at his high school in Dallas after bringing a “clock” to school that looked exactly like an explosive device. The charges were dropped almost immediately after Irving police determined it was a hoax bomb. Ahmed was then suspended from school for three days. In other words, it was a minor incident.
Nonetheless, the Mohammed family sought the help of CAIR and other Islamic “civil rights” organizations, turning the the self-instigated terror scare into a national publicity tour to broadcast the supposed “Islamophobia” spread across the United States. After his 15 minutes of fame, &#8220;Clock Boy&#8221; then moved to Islamic repressive state Qatar, because, why not?
Now the Mohammed family is back with a vengeance. Monday’s federal lawsuit listed Ahmed’s former principal, Irving Independent School District, the and city of Irving as defendants, leaving no stone left unturned. This comes after the family threatened to go to court if the school district and city didn’t fork over $15 million. That was back in November. Never taking no for an answer, the family has now opted to follow through with the lawsuit-threat.
The Irving Independent School District continues to push back against trumped-up allegations of “racial profiling.”
&#8220;Irving ISD continues to deny violating the student&#8217;s rights and will respond to claims in accordance with court rules,&#8221; <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/family-muslim-teen-arrested-clock-files-lawsuit-41201259">said</a> district spokeswoman Lesley Weaver in a statement. The district refrained from commenting further on the case.
The Mohammed family is currently on a summer vacation traveling through the states. Great time for filing a lawsuit, they thought. But their stay in the States will be short-lived, fortunately. &#8220;Clock Boy&#8221; and his litigious-happy family plan on going back to Qatar, citing safety concerns (Yes, this is real. Qatar is apparently safer than the US. Qatar).
&#8220;For the safety of my family, I have to go back to Qatar, because right now it&#8217;s not very safe for my family or for anyone who&#8217;s a minority,&#8221; said &#8220;Clock Boy,&#8221; milking his fame for everything it’s worth.
<blockquote>&#8220;I can&#8217;t walk out of the house without being covered up because I might get shot because that happens here.&#8221;
&#8220;Clock Boy&#8221; Ahmed</blockquote>
It gets way much more absurd.
Here’s what Ahmed said about his time visiting family in Texas: &#8220;I can&#8217;t walk out of the house without being covered up because I might get shot because that happens here.&#8221;
We could go in detail about how batsh*t crazy this kid sounds, the flaws in his logic, the inaccuracies, the egregious mischaracterizations, the patent falsehoods, and the moral depravity of his narcissistic fame-hungry campaign, but we’ve already enumerated these details in previous explainers on the family.
Honestly, there’s only thing left to be said.
Up yours, Ahmed.

Clock Boy’s Back From Qatar, And His Family Is Suing His Old School While On Vacation In the US

The Clock Boy has returned.
Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old kid who was arrested for bringing a fake bomb to school in September, returned home to Texas for the summer after spending the school year studying in Qatar. Ahmed remarked to a reporter how he was &#8220;surrounded by the cameras&#8221; when he arrived at the airport.
&#8220;It&#8217;s ok because I get to share a feeling and I get to help the black community as well as the Muslim community,&#8221; Ahmed said.
Ahmed said the amount of support he has received has been &#8220;tremendous.&#8221;
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t think people would care about me since I was just another Muslim student and I got arrested,&#8221; Ahmed said.
Ahmed was excited to spend time with his friends and family again and plans on touring the country. There is a &#8220;50/50 chance&#8221; he finishes high school in the U.S., but he definitely wants to go to college in the U.S.
&#8220;It&#8217;s beautiful to be here in USA,&#8221; Ahmed&#8217;s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, <a href="http://www.fox4news.com/news/166469852-story">told</a> reporters. &#8220;It is our home and it is our country and we love it. As you see, if there is something wrong, America will stand for it and that is what happened. Something was happening to my son. Everybody has a heart, has children, something is wrong, so they stood for it.&#8221;
To <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/18/real-story-istandwithahmed/">recap</a>, Ahmed had been arrested for brining a fake bomb that resembled a clock to MacArthur High School in Irving, TX. He was warned by his engineering teacher not to carry around the &#8220;clock&#8221; and yet he ignored that advice. Ahmed was reportedly passive aggressive toward the police as well. His father also appears to be a <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/5816/cool-clock-ahmed-youve-inspired-al-qaeda-michael-qazvini">&#8220;a 9/11 truther and anti-American agitator.&#8221;</a> Despite all that, leftists turned Ahmed into an overnight sensation as they decried his arrest as a symptom of Islamophobia, despite a lack of evidence. Unsurprisingly, Ahmed&#8217;s actions inspired al-Qaeda.
Ahmed had been studying through the <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/557/bye-bye-clock-boy-ahmed-and-family-move-qatar-aaron-bandler">Qatar Foundation</a>, which has connections to the terror group Hamas, inside the country of Qatar, an authoritarian country that imposes Islamic fundamentalism on its people and is cozy with Hamas as well.

VIDEO: Hey, Clock Boy Is Back!

<div>
Remember Clock Boy? The Muslim kid who claimed to be “racially profiled” after bringing a “clock” to school that looked exactly like an explosive device? Well, Ahmed Mohammed is back in the news. And no, it’s not because he &#8220;peacefully&#8221; opened a charity for underprivileged children seeking guidance in math and engineering. Rather, Clock Boy appears to have aroused radical Islamic terror group Al Qaeda. Shocker.
In the latest issue of Inspire, the group’s propaganda magazine, Clock Boy is revered as a source of inspiration. PJ Media <a href="https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/2016/05/16/al-qaeda-in-new-inspire-issue-clock-boy-even-inspired-us-in-a-way/">reports</a>:
<blockquote>The new al-Qaeda issue featured a picture of the two meeting as well as the clock bomb, with the notation: &#8220;Obama, &#8216;because of his sensitivity towards Muslim discrimination,&#8217; sees an opp to further his PR by acknowledging a brilliant 14 yr old Muslim boy (who in fact even inspired us in a way).&#8221;
The Inspire issue features step-by-step photos of how to build a parcel bomb, a magnetic car bomb, and a door-trap bomb.</blockquote>
The magazine is distributed by Al Qaeda’s main affiliate in Yemen, known to Western security officials as AQAP, or Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
Inspire’s latest cover features a large headline reading “Professional Assassinations,” with articles entitled “Home Assassinations,”instructing potential recruits about the logistics of killing Americans in their homes in the dark of night.
According to the <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/05/16/al-qaeda-magazine-calls-for-targeting-american-business-leaders.html?intcmp=hpbt1">Middle East Media Research Institute</a>, the issue “provides detailed information and instructions on preparing for and carrying out various targeted assassinations. It stresses that an assassin should possess different options to carry out an attack, which gives him or her a greater chance for success, and elevates the operation to a more ‘professional’ level.”
In recent months, Ahmed, aka Clock Boy, has done quite a lot to tear into the Leftist allegation that he’s somehow an innocent victim of big bad American racists. Actually, Ahmed has single-handedly undermined the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpy7R2MM6ng">myth of the moderate Muslim</a>.

Maybe hindsight is 20/20. The problem is Obama is a stubborn social justice warrior. He’s unlikely to change to change his tweet to something more appropriate, something more in sync with reality, something like: “Cool Clock, Ahmed! You’ve Inspired Al Qaeda.”
</div>

Cool Clock, Ahmed! You’ve Inspired Al Qaeda.

After doing exactly what he intended to do by bringing a hoax suitcase bomb to his Texas high school, getting hauled to the principal&#8217;s office, and then screaming racism, Clock Boy&#8217;s back with a new revelation: he wants to move back to the good ol&#8217; Red, White, and Blue.
That&#8217;s right, Ahmed Mohamed left Irving, Texas, then sued the town for $15 million plus written apologies, and moved to Qatar where the Qatar Foundation, an organization with reputed ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, offered him a fully-funded education scholarship. He chose that over an invitation to MIT, an institution considered one of the most prestigious in the world and geared specifically toward science and engineering. But their &#8220;How to make half-ass hoax bombs 101&#8221; is admittedly less than stellar.
Turns out though, according to <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/12/01/clock-boy-ahmed-homesick-qatar-wants-come-back-texas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Breitbart</a>, the little fella&#8217;s homesick:
<blockquote>
Dallas&#8217; KTVT 11 (CBS) interviewed the teen from halfway around the world over Facetime. Now, Ahmed claims he misses Texas. &#8220;I want to go back to a place where everyone knows me,&#8221; meaning the kids he grew up with. He also hinted a trip to Dallas may be in the works over the Christmas holiday. He told the CBS affiliate he is ready to come home and wants to do so immediately, but insists last week&#8217;s armed yet peaceful protest outside the Irving mosque stopped him.
</blockquote>
Well, that&#8217;s what happens when you go out of your way to tick off your entire town. 
<blockquote>
In a Christmas season blanketed by the Islamic State attacks in Paris, State Department travel alerts, and Syrian refugees at U.S. borders, sympathy continues to wane for the Islamophobia poster child. Breitbart News <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/11/25/liberal-media-loses-interest-clock-kid-islamic-attacks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reported</a> that the same liberal media that championed the teen&#8217;s every move, including his Qatar Foundation-sponsored tour of Education City, lost interest.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette <a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/editorials/2015/11/30/Ahmed-s-shakedown-Sympathy-vanishes-for-the-teen-clock-maker/stories/201511300049" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">added</a> what little sympathy Americans had for the &#8220;Clock Boy&#8221; is gone &#8220;thanks to a shameless money grab by the teen&#8217;s family.&#8221; The newspaper added that the Mohamed family&#8217;s &#8220;departure and subsequent demands make them look like opportunists, or worse.&#8221;
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
&#8220;He told the CBS affiliate he is ready to come home and wants to do so immediately, but insists last week&#8217;s armed yet peaceful protest outside the Irving mosque stopped him.&#8221;
Clock Boy, feeling homesick for the good ol&#8217; USA, which he sued.
</blockquote>
Exit thought by Gavin McInnes, who sums up Clock Boy like only he can. (warning: some slightly strong language)&#8230;
