The Left’s hero of the hour is one Ahmed Mohamed, a 14 year-old boy who was arrested for bringing a hoax bomb to school. Except, you see, it wasn’t a bomb, but was simply a clock that young Ahmed constructed from parts as an electronics project. The cacophony of left-wing pundits and opinionists tells us what an outrage–outrage!–it is that the police stereotyped a Moose-lim youth as a bomb-builder because, well, that sort of thing is just never done by Moose-lim young men. Young Ahmed is now a star, hailed as a hero in Silicon Valley and being invited to the White House for his clock-building. (Your humble blogger is still awaiting his invitation for his work…)
In defense of the Irving, Texas police, allow me to cite an incident from my own early twenties. You see, young Mors Sanctorum was an avid electronics hobbyist who used to build similar projects in his father’s basement in between looking for his own place to live. One day your humble blogger’s father came down and looked at young Mors’ array of wires and components, and said “you better not let your landlord into your apartment or he’ll think you’re building bombs!” I would point out that I am white as a sheet and bear a clearly Anglo-Saxon name, so my father cannot be blamed for mistaking me for a Mohammaden. The wires and parts and projects I had constructed were enough for him to make the connection. So it’s not implausible that if young Ahmed were instead young Stevie and brought such a device to school, the same thing might have happened, especially in a day when school shootings and violence are not unusual.
Still, let us go with the Left’s assumption that our Mohammaden youth was “profiled” because his name was “Ahmed Mohamed.” So what? For some of us old enough to remember, Mr. Mohamed’s last name was the first name of a man who flew a 757 into the World Trade Center. It is the name of the child rapist and false prophet who founded a wicked religion that is menacing the West and threatening our existence. (A threat with which, unfortunately, we seem willingly to cooperate.) Young Moslem men blow themselves up with their lovely refrain of “Allahu Akbar!” quite regularly, both in the West and in the battlefields of the Middle East. And a young Moslem walks into school carrying a jumble of wires and electronics in a suitcase… Goodness, if it were my call, the bomb squad would be rolling.
The multiculturalists are showing pictures of Ahmed’s family as though it were the most wholesome Texas family you could ever see. Why there’s mom and grandma, wrapped head to toe in their hejab… Oh, wait. Nobody seems to ask the question: What on Earth these people doing in Irving, Texas anyway? Why on Earth is place like Irving, nearly fifteen years after the attacks of September 11th, playing host to a bunch of burqa’ed Moslems?
As I point out in nearly every article on the subject, my own small little suburb is simply crawling with women in hejab. Even five years ago I never, ever saw a woman in a headscarf here. Now, I see more than I can count, and even women in full burqa. Why, in the GOP debate last night, did the candidates for the supposedly conservative party not mention this full scale invasion in their discussion of immigration? Or the fact that Barak Hussein Obama is planning to take 100,000 more Moslem so-called refugees into the US, basically a small city?
Here is my prediction: In 5-7 years, Ahmed Mohamed, having been radicalized at a Cambridge mosque, will walk into the MIT cafeteria with a bomb of his own construction. The last thing his friends will hear before the flash is “Allahu Akbar!”
Meanwhile take some advice: If you see a guy named Mohammad coming at you with a suitcase with wires sticking out of it, run the other way and ask questions later.
