The Texas police after getting an alert by the MacArthur High School in Irving arrested a 14 year old Muslim boy Ahmed Mohammad, when he brought school a homemade clock, mistakenly thought of as a hoax bomb by the school officials. The boy was handcuffed and fingerprinted.
The Texas police have however dropped all charges against the boy after confirming that the device was a home made invention of the boy he wished to share with his teachers. The arrest of the boy has been strongly criticized and support for the boy has outpoured tremendously on social sites such as Twitter and Facebook, including comments from NASA scientists, Mark Zuckerberg and President Obama. He also received a White house invitation. The family of the boy believed that this happened owing to the name of the boy that indicated him being a Muslim.

During a press conference Wednesday, Ahmed Mohamed explained the origins of his clock. "I built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her she thought it was a threat to her," the teen explained. He later said he wants to go to MIT and is also considering transferring from his current school, from which he is still suspended until Thursday. After seeing that President Obama, Mark Zuckerberg and Hillary Clinton showed their support, Mohamed said "I'm pleased that they are part of the movement." He plans on accepting the invitation to the White House.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

"We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims," an unidentified man who spoke at a question-and-answer town hall event in Rochester, New Hampshire asked the mogul. "You know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American."
A seemingly bewildered Trump interrupted the man, chuckling, "We need this question. This is the first question."
"Anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us," the man, wearing a "Trump" T-shirt, continued. "That's my question: When can we get rid of them?"
