The topic of my article is about a 14 year old who was arrested for building a clock from scratch. In my article “Clock-making teen transferring to another school, Family says,” from CNN.com, Ahmed Mohamed built a clock that he was very proud and brought it to school to show everyone. Because he brought the clock to school police initially and falsely said it was a Hoax bomb and arrested the young teenager for having it. By mid week Ahmed’s face was plastered on social media, and he had received thousands of tweets and facebook post of encouragement. President Obama even invited him to the White House. Ahmed was questioned for about an hour and a half. Right away he asked if he could call his parents but the police officers said “no you’re in the middle of an interrogation.” He said he felt like a criminal and a terrorist, he said he feels like the names he was called in middle school such as bombmaker and terrorist. He said “ just because of my race and religion I’m being called these names” and an officer replied “That’s who I thought it was.” Ahmed took this to mean that the officer was pointing at him because of his race.
I feel that Ahmed was treated unfairly because of his race and religion. I don’t think those police officers would have thought about it being a bomb if it were someone who isn’t a muslim. I feel that this is going to bring more problems and separation in the US. And that is the last thing this nation needs.
