Ahmed Mohamed’s Clock Was “Half a Bomb,” Says Anti-Muslim Group With Ties to Trump, Cruz - Lee

[erowe1]

How does having his son bring a fake bomb to school and the school reacting to that make the government look stupid?

Because it wasn't a fake bomb. As an illustration, just observe what has transpired since the incident. If that was the purpose, then they accomplished it.

Stop letting Muslims into the West. Or keep their numbers small so to be more manageable.

The way to reduce the number of Muslims in the West and everywhere else is to show them the truth and get them to change their minds about Islam. We don't need to violate anyone's natural rights to do that.

This is the best thing that's ever happened to this kid. The power of the media.

What exactly has happened since the incident? Near as I can tell it is:

1. The MSM immediately jumps on the story, doesn't investigate the facts, and builds a false narrative.
2. Politicians and their allies in entertainment and corporate america immediately jump on the bandwagon.
3. After a few days, it turns out the original story spun by the media was completely wrong and everybody who associated themselves with it now look like idiots.

In other words, exactly the same scenario we saw play out in the Duke Lacrosse Case, the Trayvon Martin Incident, and the Ferguson Shooting.

The police themselves said it's a clock, not a bomb in the least.

Can't neocons just stop lying for once?

Fixed it for you.

It was a fake bomb constructed out of a miniature suitcase and an alarm clock removed from its casing. No one ever said it was a real bomb. The school determined it wasn't a real bomb relatively quickly. But bringing a fake bomb to school is obviously not something a school is going to allow to go unpunished (otherwise they'd be dealing with bomb threats and evacuations on a daily basis) and since it could technically fall under the rubric of terroristic threats, they did have cause to get the police involved. I don't think they should have- they should have just expelled him from school and been done with it. But given the environment we live in, not surprising at all that they did call the coppers.

On. The. Nose.

And all the Haters get to run around with their hands in the air and talk about the evils of the dirty brown people.

How exactly was it a fake bomb? Did it have fake explosives inside? Maybe a piece of paper that says boom? The kid says it was a clock. The idiots say it was a fake bomb and of course, you believe the idiots.

No, the idiots in the MSM were the ones who claimed he "built a clock". This has been thoroughly debunked. What he did was take the plastic off an alarm clock and put it in a small briefcase so that it appeared to look like a bomb and then brought it to school to shock and scare his classmates.

Kinda when you said this, I thought we were on the same page:

But then I realized: You are right- except it is the exact opposite of what you are proposing.
