The family of Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old arrested last September after bringing a homemade clock to school, filed a federal lawsuit against Irving, Tex., the Irving Independent School District and his former principal on Monday.

Mohameds lawyers said in a statement that the Muslim teenagers civil rights were violated. On the day Mohamed brought the clock to school, he was taken into custody because it looked suspicious, Principal Daniel Cummings said in a letter to parents. Cummings allegedly threatened Mohamed with expulsion, he said, before he received a three-day suspensioneven though they knew it wasnt a bomb, attorney Susan Hutchison said at a press conference Monday, CBS Dallas-Fort Worth reports.

Irving [Independent School District] continues to deny violating the students rights and will respond to claims in accordance with court rules, the district said in a statement Monday.

The federal suit did not request a specific amount of money, as Hutchinson said the lawyers and family were primarily seeking justice. After the incident, Mohamed moved to Qatar to attend school and is currently visiting the U.S. before returning.

Over the past year, Mohameds family has received several violent threats, his family said, and Mohamed said Monday that he still get[s] a lot of hate.

Ive lost a lot of things, and people might not see it because I didnt really talk about it, Mohamed said. Anytime I walk out of the house, there might be death waiting for me.

The biologist accused Ahmed Mohamed of performing a hoax by pretending he invented the clock he brought into school.

The controversial evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins has hit out at American schoolboy Ahmed Mohamed, whose arrest after a clock he built was mistaken for a bomb sparked international outrage.

In a series of posts on Twitter, Professor Dawkins suggested 14-year-old Ahmed might have "wanted to be arrested", and criticised the boy for claiming the clock was his "invention".

He said Ahmed appeared to have bought a clock and taken it out of its case to impress his teachers, adding: "Police played into his hands? Now invited to White House, crowdfunded, etc."

Ahmed, from Irving, Texas, made the clock - a circuit board and power supply wired to a digital display stuffed inside a hologram case and brought it into school to show his teacher who thought it looked like a bomb.

He was then interviewed by the schools principal and five police officers before being taken to a juvenile detention centre where his fingerprints were taken.

Since then, tech giants including MIT, Facebook, Twitter and Google have all clamoured to offer the teenager interning opportunities.

Speaking to The Independent about his arrest, Ahmed said he had "lost [his] innocence" in the incident.

"I can never look at the world in the same way," he said.

Ahmed Mohamed, who became known as Clock Boy, gained notoriety when he brought his homemade clock, which looked a great deal like a homemade bomb, to school in 2015.

Clock Boy is making headlines around the world again this time for being featured in Inspire magazine, which is the jihadi recruiting magazine of al-Qeada in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).

In 2015, when Ahmed brought his clock to school, the police were called and Ahmed was removed from school. President Obama raced to Ahmeds aid, pushing the narrative that he had been targeted for his ethnicity. President Obama tweeted in support of Ahmed, Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. Its what makes America great.

Following a media frenzy, Ahmed was invited to the White House and praised by President Obama after a meeting.

Issue 15 of Inspire features photos of President Obama and Ahmed during their meeting, a photo of Ahmeds bomb from school, and a photo of a 13-year-old boy and a 16-year-old supposedly targeted by Obamas drone strikes, along with the saying: is it a BOMB is it a CLOCK or is it Obamas CVE photo opp?

The terrorist group even went as far as claiming that Ahmed inspired them: Obama, because of his sensitivity towards Muslim discrimination, sees an opp to further his PR by acknowledging a brilliant 14 yr old Muslim boy (who in fact even inspired us in a way).

Within the pages of the magazine, there are instructions for making a parcel bomb, magnetic car bomb, and a trap door bomb. There is a photo of Syed Farook, the San Bernardino terrorist, alongside a pipe bomb.

According to PJ Media, the magazine also contains a sticky note, listing the dates of Memorial Day and Independence Day, as though scheduling those dates for terrorist attacks. Confirmed May 30, July 4, it says, followed by two bullet points scratched out with a black pen and the footnote, please burn after reading.

The Inspire article also contains what could be an Election Day reference. Hidden bomb, car bomb, pressure cooker, assassinations, reads a checklist, followed by, make your vote count.

Following Ahmeds trip to the White House last year, he and his family gained news attention again for his very public departure from the United States. According to the Washington Post, Ahmeds family released a statement regarding their sudden move to Qatar, twenty-four hours after leaving the White House meeting with the president.

After careful consideration of all the generous offers received, we would like to announce that we have accepted a kind offer from Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) for Ahmed to join the prestigious OF Young Innovators Program, which reflects the organizations on-going dedication to empowering young people and fostering a culture of innovation and creativity, the familys statement read.

After his departure from the U.S., Ahmed and his family brought a $15 million lawsuit against the city of Irvine, TX, and the school Ahmed attended.

His excitement about moving to Qatar was short-lived. After a couple of days in Qatar, Ahmed again was in the news because he was very homesick for the United States.

According to Breitbart News, within days of demanding a total of $15 million from the City of Irving and the Irving Independent School District, Clock Boy Ahmed Mohamed announced in a long distance phone interview from Qatar, he is homesick and wants to come home to Texas now.

Electronic experts contested in the days following Mohameds arrest that the bomb wasnt real, according to The Daily Beast. In fact, Anthony DiPasquale, a webmaster for Artvoice.com, told The Daily Beast that the clock wasnt even built by Mohamed, but rather one that could be purchased online.

Anyone with even a basic hobby-level understanding could see it was a commercially available mass-produced product that was just taken out of its enclosure, and placed in a pencil box, DiPasquale told The Daily Beast.

Similarly, Bryan Bergeron, whos written on electronics and is the editor for Nuts & Volts magazine, told The Daily Beast that the clock isnt all that impressive for a 14-year-old, and would be more impressive if done by someone half his age.

Bergeron said Mohamed got more attention for the handcuffs than his innovation, which has done a disservice to all Muslim children across the nation.

This treatment does a big disservice to the tens of thousands of pre-teens out there doing REAL innovative things with electronics and technology, he said.

The clock kid is now the award kid.

On Monday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the countrys biggest Muslim civil liberties organization, awarded the American Muslim of the Year award to Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old boy who was handcuffed in school after school officials believed the homemade clock he brought to class was actually a bomb.

Mohammed, his parents and some commentators said he was arrested because of racial profiling specifically because he was Muslim. This is something he hopes to change after winning the award Sunday night.

"I just want to stop discrimination for everyone, not just for religious, but for all races as well," Mohamed said when he received the award, which was designed in the shape of a clock, according to The Washington Examiner.

And Mohameds time in the spotlight wont end with the award. After being honored Sunday night, President Barack Obama invited the boy over to the White House Monday for Astronomy Night, according to USA Today. Mohamed plans on asking the president for a White House pen, USA Today reported.

Mohamed has garnered plenty of support around the nation since he was taken away in handcuffs back in September. As Deseret News National reported, the hashtag #IStandWithAhmed inspired many comments and posts from supporters across the country.

Though hes garnered support from the president and others, not everyone is happy the 15-year-old won CAIRs award for multiple reasons.

For one, some have found it problematic that Mohamed celebrated with Sudans leader earlier this week, according to Breitbart News Neil Munro.

The award also came four days after the boy hugged Sudans Islamic, theocratic and genocidal dictator, who has been charged with war-crimes, Munro wrote. The boy was escorted to the dictator by his Sudan-born father, who is trying to promote himself in Sudanese politics."

And some say there have been other notable Muslims who deserved the award over Mohamed. Monroe wrote that CAIR ignored Aziz Sancar, who just recently won the Nobel Prize for science. Sancars victory is especially important since it means Muslims have won just as many Nobel prizes as Irish people, Monroe wrote.

This is not a thought lost among Facebook users who commented on CAIRs award post.

What he went through was horrid, but you do realize that there are hundreds of actually deserving American Muslims out there who are making a difference, right? commented Huma N. Awan on Facebook. Take Peace House, for example and their pitch to get Salahadin on Netflix. Come on, CAIR.

Other commenters suggested there are other American Muslims who deserved the award.

Let's not forget that there's a lot of other kids in the world who are suffering and enduring a lot more than what Ahmed did. I think they deserve to be Muslims of the year, Ahlam Alhaj wrote on Facebook.

Maryam Mohammed, a Facebook user, suggested she deserved the award over Mohamed.

The excruciating pain I go through every day running and circuit training, in order to get through the police academy, to be the first hijabi police officer in Tennessee is way more worthy, but that's just me, she wrote.

Some commenters also criticized Mohameds victory because of speculation thats been raised about the clock he brought to school, which school officials believed to be a bomb.

The Ahmed Mohamed clock incident occurred when a 14-year-old student, Ahmed Mohamed, was arrested on September 14, 2015, at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, for bringing an alleged hoax bomb to school. The incident ignited allegations of racial profiling and Islamophobia from some media and commentators.

The episode arose when Mohamed reassembled the parts of a digital clock in an 8-inch (20 cm)[1] pencil container, and brought it to school to show his teachers. His English teacher thought the clock resembled a bomb, confiscated it, and reported Mohamed to the school's principal. Local law enforcement was called and Mohamed was questioned by police for an hour and a half. After being handcuffed and taken into custody without being permitted to see his parents, he was transported to a juvenile detention facility where he was fingerprinted and his mug shot photograph was taken. He was then released to his parents. It was alleged that the reason for his arrest was for purposely trying to cause a bomb scare. The case was not pursued further by juvenile justice authorities; however, Mohamed was suspended from school.

Following the incident, police determined Mohamed had no malicious intent, and he was not charged with any crime.[2][3] News of the incident became viral initially on Twitter with allegations by some commentators that the actions of the school officials and police were due to their stereotyping of Mohamed based on his Sudanese ancestry and Muslim faith. After U.S. President Barack Obama, politicians, activists, technology company executives, and media personalities commented about the incident many of them praising Mohamed for his ingenuity and creativity he was invited to participate in a number of high-profile events related to encouraging youth interest in science and technology.

Although Mohamed was cleared in the final police investigation, there were unsupported accusations - many of them contradictory, citing no evidence, and contradicting established facts - that the incident was a deliberate hoax, something that coverage of the incident described as a conspiracy theory.[2][4]

On November 23, 2015, Ahmed's family threatened to sue the City of Irving and the school district for civil rights violations and physical and mental anguish unless they received written apologies and compensation of $15 million.[5][6] This lawsuit was thrown out of court in May 2017 for lack of evidence.[7] They also sued conservative talk show hosts Glenn Beck and Ben Shapiro, and another Fox News commentator for lesser amounts on the grounds of defamation of character. Both cases were dismissed with prejudice for First Amendment free speech reasons.[8] In late 2015, his family decided to accept a scholarship from the Qatar Foundation and move to Qatar, partially because of unsupported accusations of terrorist links and continued harassment from conspiracy theorists.[9]

An Egyptian man who had been living in Ireland illegally has been sentenced to one year in prison for sexually assaulting a young woman in her Dublin home.

Mohamed Ahmed (31) of South Circular Road, Dublin pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to attacking the women on September 19, 2016 by pining her to the ground and sexually assaulting her.
The woman, who asked not to be identified, said in her victim impact statement that she had been receiving counselling since the incident and had not been able to walk home alone at night.

He had been invited back to the woman's house for a drink following a day out at the All-Ireland finals last year. She admitted that she did not remember much of the night because of the amount of alcohol consumed, but that there had been some consensual kissing before she asked him to leave.
Garda Lorna O'Connor took a statement from the victim the day after the attack. She said said that the woman became uncomfortable and asked Ahmed to leave before going to the toilet in her home.

Gda O'Connor told he court that when the woman returned Ahmed had removed his trousers, and tried to take off the woman's clothes. The woman said that she had only remembered this because she found pictures of Ahmed without his clothes on her phone the following day.
"He eventually put his trousers back on and she pleaded with him to leave, which he refused to do," Gda O'Connor said.

"She agreed to give him a hug if he promised to leave afterwards, and when she did he tried to kiss her again," she added.
The court heard that a struggle then ensued, which resulted in Ahmed being on top of the woman. He then sexually assaulted her.

"He tried to remove his trousers again and she said she completely lost it and managed to throw him off," Gda O'Connor said. "She ran to her housemate's room for help and remained there."
The woman said that Ahmed then fled the house.

Judge Melanie Greally said that since the incident occurred at the woman's home it must have caused her a huge amount of distress.
"The injured party is hyper conscious of other people's behaviour since the incident, and she has received counselling on a regular basis," Judge Greally noted.

She acknowledged that Ahmed, who has been in custody since his arrest, has no previous convictions and that his landlord described him in a positive way.
He came to Ireland in 2010 on a student visa that expired in 2014, and he has been living here illegally since then.

She sentenced him to 18 months with the final six suspended, and required him to register as a sex offender.

To me, the debate about whether Ahmed is Muslim or black and to which part of him the Irving school system and police department responded misses the point. Firstly, because as some have pointed out, Muslim and black are not mutually exclusive categories.

Secondly, because the debate fails to recognize that it is only because Muslims have been racialized that most Americans have particular ideas of who one is, and what she or he is supposed to look or act like. As Saher Selod writes, Muslims religious identities have acquired racial meanings associating their bodies with terror and violence resulting in their increased experiences with racism.

Thirdly, and this is the point Id like to emphasize, the what is Ahmed debate is a distraction from a more urgent question. More than one in four Muslim Americans identify as black, and one in three as Asian or Latino. Why isnt there more solidarity and cross-movement organizing between those fighting Islamophobia and others battling to bring an end to Americas deeply rooted structural racism, which feeds the school to prison pipeline and mass incarceration?

As Crenshaw explains in a recent op-ed piece in the Washington Post, the term [intersectionality] brought to light the invisibility of many constituents within groups that claim them as members, but often fail to represent them. This invisibility currently characterizes the position of black Muslims in their own communities.

Islamohophia actively builds on structural racism, at the very least through the use of its tools (aggressive policing, hyper surveillance). Americans face a web of interlocking subjugations that draw on various configurations of class, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and immigration status. Movements and organizations that have operated largely independently from one another need to do a better job of realizing that discrimination rarely operates along one axis, and to organize accordingly. Otherwise, they risk leaving those they are meant to serve invisible in plain sight.

One last point: Much of the medias focus in the Ahmed Mohamed story, and ours in turn, has been on President Obamas invitation to the teenager to visit the White House, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerbergs encouraging words. Not insignificant acts by any means, least of all I imagine to Ahmed himself, who was stripped of his dignity and rights in front of his whole school.

But the response is also symptomatic of what America is prone to do: turn these kind of stories into a greeting card Sorry you were profiled. Know that you are precious. Thats just not enough anymore. It never was, otherwise we wouldnt be facing outrageous stories again and again.

Like Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old teenager from Irving, Texas arrested for bringing a clock to school, I grew up Sudanese and Muslim in America, though of a different generation. My family moved to the United States from Khartoum in 1990, when I was 12 years old. In the mid 90s, when I attended high school in New York, bringing a home-made clock to school would not have resulted in arrest. Muslims were treated as backward, though rarely dangerous.

Ahmed Mohamed lives in a different time. It wasnt long after his arrest that social media began debating who he is and what impact his identity had on what transpired. For the most part, news reports referred to him as a Muslim boy, his own family emphasizing his religious identity as the reason why, in Ahmeds words, he was made to feel like a terrorist.

Meanwhile, on twitter, black Muslims used the hashtag #beingblackandmuslim to discuss Ahmeds case and their experiences. Others wondered what would have happened if he was black. Others still called for his blackness not to be ignored. Africa is a country, an influential cultural blog, waded in with a tweet. Even the Washington Post ran an article on the subject.

I have no idea how Ahmed and the rest of his family identify beyond this specific incident. What I do know is how America perceives someone that looks like him and carries his name. The is it because he is Muslim? Black? Both? question is an interesting one to ponder, but practically, not an easy one to answer.

Ahmeds case is a classic example of intersectionality a term coined by law professor Kimberl Crenshaw in the 1980s. Building on the work of others before her, Crenshaw grappled with a specific problem: why had women of color been left, in her words, invisible in plain sight by both feminist and anti-racist movements? The conclusion she reached was that the kind of discrimination people have conceptualized is limited because they stop their thinking when the discrimination encounters another kind of discrimination. In a passage from a 1989 essay that has since become famous, Crenshaw writes:

Consider an analogy to traffic in an intersection, coming and going in all four directions. Discrimination, like traffic through an intersection, may flow in one direction, and it may flow in another. If an accident happens in an intersection, it can be caused by cars traveling from any number of directions and, sometimes, from all of them. Similarly, if a Black woman is harmed because she is in the intersection, her injury could result from sex discrimination or race discrimination...But it is not always easy to reconstruct an accident: Sometimes the skid marks and the injuries simply indicate that they occurred simultaneously, frustrating efforts to determine which driver caused the harm.
Taking this analogy and applying it to Ahmed, we find him standing at a dangerous intersection in modern America: Islamophobia meets white supremacy. Black Muslims face, at the very least, a double discrimination in the United States. In the years immediately following 9/11, my sisters and I used to say only half-jokingly that we felt black in the street, Muslim at the airport. If we had been veiled, we would have felt Muslim on the street as well.

Things seem to have only gotten worse for black and Muslim communities since, not the least of in my own city, New York, a supposed bastion of liberalism that has in the past two decades routinely and egregiously violated the civil liberties of its black, Muslim and Latino residents.

Noor Ahmed Mohamed, 26, was indicted for two counts of attempted murder, two counts of attempted elevated aggravated assault, four counts of attempted aggravated assault and two counts of reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon in connection with a shooting in the Old Port on Nov. 10, 2016..

A Cumberland County grand jury indicted two men on charges stemming from two separate shootings in Portland.

Noor Ahmed Mohamed, 26, was indicted for two counts of attempted murder, two counts of attempted elevated aggravated assault, four counts of attempted aggravated assault and two counts of reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon in connection with a shooting in the Old Port on Nov. 10, 2016.

Mohamed was driving on Silver Street when he got into an altercation with a group of men, police said. Witnesses said they heard shots being fired and police said the group of men ran off, but then there were more gunshots.

Mohamed allegedly drove off, but hit a curb, disabling his car. He fled on foot but police caught up with him near Fore and Pearl streets, where he was arrested.

The other man indicted was Abdul Rahman Timbo, 23, of Virginia. He was indicted for attempted murder, aggravated assault and reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon in connection with a shooting at the ScrubbaDub Car Wash on Forest Avenue on Sept. 3.

Timbo was arguing with a Westbrook man at the car wash and shot him, police said. The victim ran off, but was later located and told police he did not need medical attention.

A Rochester man accused of selling more than 18 grams of cocaine to a confidential informant in a series of sales has been sentenced in the case.

Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed, 20, was charged in April with two counts of first-degree drug sale, three counts of second-degree drug sale and three counts of third-degree drug sale, all felonies.

He pleaded guilty in September to one of the second-degree counts; in exchange for the plea, the remaining charges were dismissed Wednesday.

Olmsted County District Court Judge Joseph Chase sentenced Ahmed to 48 months in prison, stayed for 25 years, and 43 days in jail, with credit for 43 days already served.

In addition, Ahmed was ordered to undergo chemical dependency evaluation/treatment, complete 100 hours of community work service and pay $1,800.

The investigation began after an informant told authorities he'd previously bought cocaine from a man who goes by the nickname "Black" and agreed to work with law enforcement.

The informant bought cocaine from "Black" whom he later identified as Ahmed on Jan. 31, Feb. 2 and Feb. 14, the complaint says, paying $500 each time and receiving 5.2 grams, 6.4 grams and 6.5 grams, respectively.

She told us how Muhammad Ali would spend days outside her house. He even stayed overnight outside once. I was 16 and I said, What do you want, man! He said, Well, youre going to be my wife. I said, But you didnt ask me? He said, I found out that if I ask you, youll say no, so I dont want to ask you! When he proposed to her and asked her parents for her hand in marriage, her dad asked, Do you have a job? Muhammad Ali had just been banned from boxing and his titles were taken away. He said he had no job but he had a car! Everyone laughed. Khalilah, talking about a legend in the making, whispered to her father, Dad, hes got potential. I think were going to be all right! The gathering laughed again. My Dad said to me, youre not supposed to marry someone who hasnt got a job. But I change my mind. I asked, Dad, why did you change your mind? he replied, Because when you make up your mind you dont change yours, so I changed mine! So we got married.

Khalilah remembers her husband as warm and funny. He had the ability to make everyone feel happy and he was kind to everyone. She was married to Muhammad Ali for 10 years and has six children by him and her eldest daughter is a writer and a poet. In the gathering there were at least three people called Ali. Khalilah held them affectionately. She signed a picture of herself and Muhammad Ali as newlyweds.

She reminisces, I asked Muhammad Ali once, everyone admires you and wants to be like you, but who do you admire? he said, I wish I could be half as strong as you. She added, He always supported womens rights. He was not a misogynist. Khalilah too was a role model for Muslim women and for womens rights, acknowledged Doreen.

When the world finds out that Muhammad Alis wife visited Pakistan, they will know the reality that it is safe here. We dont like the misperception of Pakistan as an incubation of terrorism. Part of the trip is to bridge the gap between this terribly mean misperception. Every nation has its fringe group. Parts of Chicago are so dangerous, said Mahomed, to which Khalilah added, Its so dangerous there, people eat on the floor because you can get shot. However, Mahomed assured, But of course, this is not the image of America. After a pause he added, USAID, USIP, etc, fund good projects in Pakistan like orphanages and peace projects, which shows they care. This is the real spirit of America. I think that America and its people are very diverse and beautiful people, just as Pakistan and Pakistanis are both diverse and beautiful. No one side should stereotype the other.

At a time when the Pakistan-US relations seem to be utterly fragile, Khalilahs visit highlighted the unity and warmth that can be possible between people of different nations. What touched me also was that Khalilah was so humble. She reached out to everyone, regardless of who they were. When young waiters of Khiva Restaurant, who were catering that evening, came up to her for a photograph she politely obliged. That evening there were no divisions between the rich and the poor, between Pakistanis and Americans there was affection, there was trust, there was friendship.

Blessed are the peace-builders as they are the bridges that help heal our shared, but troubled, world. Muhammed Ali and Khalilah also represent the finest in Islam they are people who embrace others with genuine warmth and affection; Muhammad Ali is revered not only in America, but across the world. Perhaps he is loved not so much for his trophies as much as for his outstanding character as he understood the human need to accept others as they are and reach out to them.

These are hard times to be a Muslim in America. President Donald Trump regularly makes non-inclusive comments such as Islam hates us, even though a religion does not hate. As a consequence of right-wing attitudes ordinary people suffer: a young 14-year-old African American school boy named Ahmed Mohamed was arrested and thrown out of school when his teacher thought his homemade clock was a bomb; a 17-year-old girl called Nabra Hassanen was recently raped and murdered by Martinez Torres in Virginia; a female university professor who teaches Women and Islam was aggressively manhandled and thrown out of a plane recently, as she happened to be a Muslim. All such happenings impact the health and wellbeing of ordinary Muslims and many others around the world who are constantly hearing about these and other cruel injustices. A recent study shows that in America today, Muslims in particular face many psychological pressures and problems due to them constantly being unjustly labelled as terrorists.

Yet, through the smoke of sensationalist media headlines, we still have those positive moments that give us hope. On the evening of October 15 I had the privilege of living one such moment, when I met Khalilah Camacho Ali (also known as Belinda), the wife of the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali.

A radiant African-American, Khalilah has an accent almost identical to that of Muhammad Ali, but her roots go back to South Asia, as her great-great grandfather was an imam from Karachi. In the Pakistani home of Sohail Kiani, the former vice-president of Merrill Lynch in Singapore, and his American wife Doreen, Khalilah began her introduction to a select audience who were mesmerised by her intimate stories and memories of The Greatest.
She said that when she met Muhammad Ali, he had just won his gold medal in the light heavyweight division in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, at the young age of 18. She was only 10 years old. In his famous cocky style, Muhammad Ali said, Im going to be the heavyweight champion of the world before I hit 21 so get your autograph! So he gave me his name. Khalilah said, When he signed, his name, Cassius Marcellus Clay. I tore up the paper and threw it on the floor. This is a Roman name! And do you know what the Romans did to us? They enslaved us. You need to change your name! In fact, I was really into Islam and admired Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as my role model he had the most gentle, simple and compassionate character so I said to Cassius, Go and get a Muslim name. She recounted, He was upset. But he couldnt wait. I want to be a Muslim like her. So he went to Elijah Muhammad.

Elijah Muhammad, who led the Nation of Islam Movement, conceived of a new name for Ali. As Khalilah recalled, He gave him Cassius X, so he said, No, no, I dont want to be Cassius. I want a Muslim name. So he named him Ali (after Khalilahs father) and added Muhammad, after the name of the Prophet (pbuh). Muhammad Ali came back to me and by this time I was no longer 10. I was 13, she said smiling naughtily. The audience hooted. He came back and said to me, I changed my name to Muhammad Ali. I told him, Now go and live that great name.

You heard gun shots coming from the jewelry section.

This cashier approached you with his plan to disable the robbers. "Listen up kid, I counted 2 guys with five-sevens. We can take them out. Try to distract them and I'll flank 'em".

This is George.

The Ahmed Mohamed clock incident occurred when a 14-year-old student, Ahmed Mohamed, was arrested on September 14, 2015, at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, for bringing an alleged hoax bomb to school. The incident ignited allegations of racial profiling and Islamophobia from some media and commentators.

The episode arose when Mohamed reassembled the parts of a digital clock in an 8-inch (20 cm) pencil container, and brought it to school to show his teachers. His English teacher thought the clock resembled a bomb, confiscated it, and reported Mohamed to the school's principal. Local law enforcement was called and Mohamed was questioned by police for an hour and a half. After being handcuffed and taken into custody without being permitted to see his parents, he was transported to a juvenile detention facility where he was fingerprinted and his mug shot photograph was taken. He was then released to his parents. It was alleged that the reason for his arrest was for purposely trying to cause a bomb scare. The case was not pursued further by juvenile justice authorities; however, Mohamed was suspended from school.

Following the incident, police determined Mohamed had no malicious intent, and he was not charged with any crime. News of the incident became viral – initially on Twitter – with allegations by some commentators that the actions of the school officials and police were due to their stereotyping of Mohamed based on his Sudanese ancestry and Muslim faith. After U.S. President Barack Obama, politicians, activists, technology company executives, and media personalities commented about the incident – many of them praising Mohamed for his ingenuity and creativity – he was invited to participate in a number of high-profile events related to encouraging youth interest in science and technology.
Although Mohamed was cleared in the final police investigation, there were unsupported accusations - many of them contradictory, citing no evidence, and contradicting established facts - that the incident was a deliberate hoax, something that coverage of the incident described as a conspiracy theory.

On November 23, 2015, Ahmed's family threatened to sue the City of Irving and the school district for civil rights violations and physical and mental anguish unless they received written apologies and compensation of $15 million. This lawsuit was thrown out of court in May 2017 for lack of evidence.They also sued conservative talk show hosts Glenn Beck and Ben Shapiro, and another Fox News commentator for lesser amounts on the grounds of defamation of character. Both cases were dismissed with prejudice for First Amendment free speech reasons.[8] In late 2015, his family decided to accept a scholarship from the Qatar Foundation and move to Qatar, partially because of unsupported accusations of terrorist links and continued harassment from conspiracy theorists.
