Texas Muslim student arrested for inventing clock

A Texas Muslim student, who wanted to impress his teachers with his homemade clock, was arrested by Dallas police after his school claimed that he tried to make a bomb.
The 14-year-old student was explaining how his homemade clock was mistaken for a bomb when the alarm beeped in the middle of a lesson at MacArthur High school in Irving.
The Muslim student hoped to impress his teachers by his one of his most elaborate creations that consists of a circuit board and power supply wired to a digital display, all strapped inside a case with a tiger hologram on the front.
Mohamed’s clock was confiscated during his English lesson when its alarm kept beeping.
The English teacher and the principal reported their skepticism to police who arrested Mohamed after pulling him out of sixth period.
At the police station, the Muslim teen was interrogated by four police officers.
The arrest and the suspension of the Muslim student have sparked anger among social media users who lamented injustice and discrimination.
#IStandWithAhmed was also launched to show solidarity with the Islamophobia victim.
