The Media Research Center (MRC) recently conducted a test, showing numerous college students a picture of Ahmed “Clock Boy” Mohamed’s homemade science project and gauging their reaction. The results were just as you and I, the teachers, and law enforcement would expect, because it was the same conclusion everybody is coming to.

It looks like a bomb.
Mohamed, as you know, brought a science project into school – a homemade clock which was actually just a vintage clock with the case removed, the inner workings placed inside a brief/pencil case. Teachers and authorities thought the device looked like a bomb, and Mohamed became uncooperative when asked about it and was subsequently detained.
Naturally, the family immediately went to CAIR and the media with their story, shouting ‘Islamophobia!’ to anybody who would listen.

Was it really because of Mohamed’s religion though, or was it because as Bill Maher said, the clock “looks exactly like a f***ing bomb?”
MRC’s research is pretty eye-opening. Watch …
via The Blaze:
Students at George Mason University overwhelmingly thought Ahmed Mohamed’s homemade clock looked like a bomb, according to a new video published online.
Dan Joseph, with the conservative Media Research Center, visited the campus just outside D.C. and showed students a photo of the controversial clock. He then asked them what they thought it looked like.
“I’m going to show you this and you tell me what you think it is — the first thing that pops in your head,” Joseph told the students.
The results were overwhelming.
“It looks like a bomb,” one replied, with his friend agreeing.
“It looks like a bomb,” echoed another student.
“Yeah, it could be like a bomb or something,” another said.
“A bomb?” one questioned.

It has to be disheartening for all of those students to learn that they too are racist Islamophobes.
Meanwhile, Mohamed’s story about the clock has taken numerous turns and appears to be more of a setup than anything else. Perhaps the teachers should be hailed as heroes, knowing they would be accused of such terrible things and reporting the suspicious device regardless.

rather than portray an actual scale it is obvious the author tried to make it look bigger for an agenda.
Here is scale for actual size:

This is a hox set up by his parents to collect funds for the jihadists.
It IS A BOMB! He didn’t have explosive material. OK…It takes a few things to make a bomb correct? A TIMER an ENCLOSURE an EXPLOSIVE ELEMENT a “TRIGGER: WE ARE LOOKING at TWO of those things NOW! Why a WATCH in a briefcase? The CLOCK he destroyed to do this cost more that a WRISTWATCH! THIS IS a PRACTICE RUN” on a BOMB!
If it looked like a bomb to the school officials and the police, why did they not evacuate the school?
Why did they leave the “bomb” in the possession of the student during their questioning?
Oh, it didn’t look like “that kind of bomb”. It didn’t look like a bomb until they needed an excuse.
Anyone notice the handkerchief / scarf in the front right hand corner of the briefcase? Notice the pattern, same do rag that Arafat wore. This was a setup plain and simple. The want Muslim holidays off in the schools they can start their own schools in the country of their origin. We’re asking you nice this time, go home.
GET ALL MU-SLIMES OUT OF OUR COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PEACEFUL MU-SLIME. THEY ALL SUPPORT TERRORISM TO GET THEIR WAY. THEY EITHER CARRY IT OUT PHYSICALLY OR SUPPORT IT WITH MONEY FROM THEIR MOSQUES.
Yes, it does. And were I to see someone coming near me with it, I would defend myself .
This kid knew exactly what he was doing.Made this clock just by putting a digital guts of a working clock into a pencil box.He knew that this would cause a school uproar,and then he could whine about how he was picked on for being muslim.a white kid would have received the same reaction.The only difference is that he got invited to the White House because he is a poor picked on muslim.Obama really needs to stay out of this kind of foolishness.The problem is that if it is a black or muslim thing he has to jump right in to it.
Do you think ol’ Ahmed will take it onto the plane as his ‘carry-on’ without the TSA investigating it on his trip to see Obama? And do you think the Secret Service will allow it to enter the white house without checking it over thoroughly?
JEFF. Yes because they know one muslim will not harm another. (As long as they are of the same sect, of course.)
Yeah, it looks like a Hollywood bomb. The only bomb anybody has ever seen bombs that are in the movies that have countdown seven digit displays. Any idiot trying to identify this as a bomb should have asked themselves “Gee, where’s the explosives?”
A bomb, as commonly used in real life as seldom as bombs are used in real life, resembles a 12 inch long piece of 3 inch galvanized iron pipe with screwed on endcaps. Hollywood does not use this kind of bombs in its movies because they are visually boring. Ahmed’s clock was stupid, the people who mistook it for a bomb are stupider.
If any adult had an object like that in a suitcase at the airport we’d be lying on the floor handcuffed and carted away by the Homeland Security. Perhaps his parents’ suit isn’t such a bad thing. Let it go to court where the absurdity of not questioning that “clock” would be revealed and the family taught a valuable lesson about their responsibilities in living in this country.
I commented from the get go that the story of Ahmed Mohamed, the 14 year old Muslim “science genius :) :) building the clock didn’t pass my “smell test.” Maybe a farce a hoax, but why? (I knew there was some kind of method to their madness) I have no doubt the parents knew this contraption would cause a problem at school (damned near didn’t) and they would make a lot of money with law suits against the school, the teachers, the police. AND! I THINK THEY HAVE FILED LAW SUITS? AND WE SHOULD TRUST THESE PEOPLE??? Having never made a bomb in my kitchen, I thought Ahmed’s “clock” :) looked suspicious and could have been a home made bomb cooked up in the kitchen like the one’s in an apartment in Boston by two Muslim brother’s for the Boston Marathon! (homeland security ignored the suspicious trips to Russia (?) by the older brother. I indicated in my prior comment that the parents had to know this clock was suspicious looking and well knew it could cause problems. I also criticized the teachers that let Ahmed carry the clock down the hallways and finally a teacher that blew the whistle. Bottom line. I COMMENTED I WAS HAPPY THAT THE POLICE WERE CALLED IN (before it could have been too late) It appears that the innocent :) “science genius” clock maker was a fraud, a liar, a potential terrorist down the road and no doubt that the father played a part. ALLAH AKBAR! I said it many times. OBOZO’S POLITICAL CORRECTNESS (his support of the Muslims) continues to keep our country in danger. The teacher’s that didn’t suspect this clock could be a bomb should be fired! Commend the teacher who called the police and the police that handcuffed Ahmed and took him into custody.. AND! RIGHTLY SO. Allah Akbar is infiltrating the USA as well as Europe since and before 9-11. Ahmed Mohamed has been raised for 14 years in a home of Muslim parents who teach him and his siblings the their Koran is the only Bible to be followed. I hope Ahmed doesn’t get the scholarships, money, etc. he has been given after this incident. He lied, he cheated/he didn’t create or make a clock, his behavior despicable and not to forget “cunning.” He just gutted an old clock and then claimed to be the genious (sp) Sorry folks. Call me a bigot..Not! What I am is smart enough to realize political correctness is going to be the death of America. I also know that when we have as many “bad apples in the basket ” as the US and Europe is experiencing with Muslim terrorists, we need to take every precaution and for our own protection treat all of them as potential “bad apples.” I think Homeland Security should put this family on their “radar” list.
When will we finally learn to reject the claims of islamophobia, intolerance and racism? These are just tools be the left and by Muslim extremists to silence us, but they can only work if we cower to their accusations. Call me racist or islamophobe any time you want to, but be prepared to answer questions as well, because I will not be silent.
His father trained him well. Most fools do not realize that his purpose was a trial run to see if he could bring a bomb to the school and get away with it. The next one will be a bomb.Stupid is what stupid does.
Never trust a Moslem. Mohammad, clock-wise or not, has eyes and ears open for what’s happening. He’s just catching up what he sees and hears in the media stream – and in the mosque.
This is what America gets for electing a rag-head muslim to the presidency and allowing all of the rag-heads into this nation. We need to declare open season on them and gun them all down…. NOW !!!!!
Not only dos it look like a bomb, it looks like a $12 clock kit torn apart and reassembled with a transformer for power versus batteries.
The case could easily hold a pound of formed plastic explosives to fit behind the LCD screen, or elsewhere.
Ahmed’s father got his face in the news and Ahmed became his puppet . . another typical Muslim action.
What’s even MORE ‘telling”? The look on the fathers face in that one photo! SOOOO down-trodden, put-upon, mistreated, abused, woe-begone, sad, kicked in the teeth or various other parts! While his son, broad toothy grin just eating up the attention! If he smiled any wider his ears would be caught in his cheeks! The difference between the two is so amazing as to be obviously staged without the kid being able to pull it off! HE’S not able to hold his excitement in check! Later after being coached, he’s an entirely different young man! A polished dialog, word for word as related to him in private and demanded that he repeat it, word for word with conviction! Without the wide, excited smile of yesterday, the day before and the days before! What a FARCE!
It sure is no a homemade ‘clock’. Somebody put him up to ‘something! !’ This should be ‘checked out’! Lots of goofy things happening to damage the U.S. of A. these days!

Again, another item for Obama to check off his Agenda, to divide this Country from Within. With all the other Tensions/Issues, this President has created, when are the People going to say Enough is Enough?
When is Congress going to honor their oaths they take to uphold the Constitution, they are under a particular obligation to deal with the miscreant’s offenses, irrespective of whether their bill of impeachment may or may not lead to a conviction in the Senate.
This President has committed criminal offenses, to which the majority of people, don’t care, don’t believe it affects them/us, or they are just plain Ignorant! Ignorance is no excuse for the law! Even noncriminal behavior, amounting to a serious dereliction of duty, is an act of offense!
Now my next question is What is this kid’s IQ? I have not read or seen any evidence of this being mentioned. I have read several comments that speak of the IQ’s of all involved, negative of course, but honestly why has his not? The average IQ is 118-139. Anything 140 & above is “genius”.

Let’s Forget about Racism, & Religion, for a moment. I don’t care what color or faith you identify with. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK All PARENTS, Would you let your Child assemble something similar to this to take to school, just because? Remember, this was not a science project, or for any project. He just wanted to “showcase” his “talent”. I know I would not! Damn Skippy! Then we would sit down and have a discussion on worldviews, Hollywood, movie props, the pros & cons of why this type of fabrication is best done/left in a science class. I would not allow it to remain at home unless it was disassembled.
And it has nothing to do with Racism, the fear of Islamic Nation, the influx of Refugees, the Iranian Nuke Deal, &/or all of the other problems I have with this President & his administration of my Country today. It is the difference between What is Right & What is Wrong.
According to Radio Shack – what this kid did was take off the “case” of an early RS product and claimed it was a clock!! Supposedly the stamp that said, Made in America is still on it. AND…if this kid had walked into the White House or Congress with this thing, he would have been face down and his hands cuffed behind him with a gun to his head so obama is supporting this foolish child who is being used by his parents to make money…(i.e. lawsuits) and they probably will donate to obama some of their ill gotten gains if the suits aren’t thrown out and the parents made to pay litigation fees for both sides!!
Nothing ever says Made in America. Some things say “proudly manufactured in the U.S.A., made in China or some other country.
It looks like a disorganized piece of junk.
Anyone who knows anything about C-4 knows that a piece the size of a pack of cigarettes could completely destroy a class room. There is something about that size in the box! And why was the kid un-cooperative about it? Not only should this kid be expelled, his whole family should be deported!
