Appearances matter. Case in point: a 14-year-old Muslim boy who enjoys tinkering with things was arrested after bringing a homemade clock to his Texas high school. The clock was inside a hard case filled with wires and batteries that made it appear to be a homemade bomb.
The arrest prompted speculations of Islamophobia from the Islamic groups, but police say they won’t charge him with creating a “hoax bomb.” Photos of the device would cause anyone to question it.
Ninth graders have been known to blow themselves up for Allah. Can people be blamed for the…alarm?

Hang him now hes a terrorist and looking for his 21 virgin goats
Because he is a Muslim you should be charged with a terroristic threat
Stupidest comment I read all day
It’s a possibility that the whole thing was a set up. The boy’s father is the same gentleman that has been fighting with the infidel Mayor of Irving for permission to form a non – binding Sharia panel in Irving. What are the odds that a religiously and politically astute man like him would not realise that the boy’s LOUDLY TICKING BRIEFCASE would not result in his arrest? I think this was a soft target attack on the Irving school designed to reach all the way to the White House. Clever? Very.
He is not innocent
I’m going to give me trophy I’m going to get me a sticker
You don’t understand my distain for the U.S. Justice system, the comment was meant to be sarcastic , there is no inflection button , however I get tired of typing ( sarcasm ) after every thing I write.
School did right thing…kid made what he called a clock BUT NO ONE COULD RECOGNIZE IT AS A CLOCK. …he did this to get attention…no one feels sorry go you.. in these times of muslim problems with isis and muslims harming people in the streets, we must be diligently aware of such bomb looking objects that this boy purposely made and now is playing innocent …for attention.. I support the school and police….do not be fooled by this trick to throw you off
Electronics is my hobby and that is a clock. Quite simple. Now, if you’re too ignorant to understand that well, ” Ignorance is not a excuse. “
A wrist watch isn’t good enough for this kid ?
