One day, a Muslim boy, 14-year-old, named Ahmed Mohammad, who lived in the United States of America, built his very own clock and took it to show his teacher at school. He was very excited. But when his teachers saw the clock, they looked at Ahmed long and hard and said, this looks like a bomb to me. Suddenly ‘fearing’ this child she taught for so long, she called the police to have Ahmed arrested. Because he made a clock.
I built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her, she thought it was a threat to her, it was really sad that she took the wrong impression of it.
People were quick to react to what happened to Ahmed and most of it was outrage. Ahmed even got tweets and comments from very famous people such as,
The president of the United States,
Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.

Assumptions and fear don't keep us safe—they hold us back. Ahmed, stay curious and keep building. https://t.co/ywrlHUw3g1

And then the fun started.
The truth about the bomb,
The only thing Ahmed blew up is the Internet. #IStandWithAhmed
