Muslim kid Ahmed’s clock is a fraud, deceptions abound
The Muzzy kid, Ahmed Mohamed, a student from MacArthur High School, who greeted reporters with “as-salaamu alaykum,” the Muslim greeting of peace , was likely goaded by his terrorist Sudanese father Mohamed ElHassan Mohamed who defended the Koran, the Islamic death rape cult’s manifesto, as its defense attorney in a mock trial at a Florida church that, to his dismay and everyone else’s joy, ended with the Koran’s burning.
Also in 2011, ElHassan debated Robert Spencer on the question of “Does Islam Respect Human Rights?” Clearly, he was trying to score a victory against a famous “Islamophobe” and thus win a name for himself.
ElHassan has been looking for publicity and chances to fight against “Islamophobia” for a considerable period. Now he has seized it if not actually created it, going so far as to claim his son was “tortured” by school and law enforcement officials.
The papa Muzzy weasel Mohamed Senior likely had his son Mohamed Junior provoked the situation by intentionally bringing into his class a clock resembling a timed bomb and then refused to cooperate with the police and teachers.
“If you see something, say something” no longer works if the subject is a Muslim, because the person reporting the suspicious activities or suspicious objects will be called a racist or an Islamophobe.
For destroying this simple principle of self-protection, Muzzy Junior becomes a media star. Hellbent on political correctness, Muslim appeasement, and opportunistically catching the media waves, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Box, Autodesk, and a few NASA employees with Muzzy names also reached out to meet with Muzzy Junior, after a journalist shared the photo of Muzzy Junior wearing a shirt with their logo, all stepped over themselves, head over heels, just to get some attention. Not to be outdone, failed-emailed Hilary Clinton joined the circus, and the Muslim-In-Chief invited him to the White House.
According to a real engineer, Ahmed didn’t build any clock he just took some parts of an existing clock from 1970 and placed it in pencil case.

This is what he wrote on his blog:
I found the highest resolution photograph of the clock I could. Instantly, I was disappointed. Somewhere in all of this – there has indeed been a hoax. Ahmed Mohamed didn’t invent his own alarm clock. He didn’t even build a clock. Now, before I go on and get accused of attacking a 14 year old kid who’s already been through enough, let me explain my purpose. I don’t want to just dissect the clock. I want to dissect our reaction as a society to the situation. Part of that is the knee-jerk responses we’re all so quick to make without facts. So, before you scroll down and leave me angry comments, please continue to the end (or not – prove my point, and miss the point, entirely!)
For starters, one glance at the printed circuit board in the photo, and I knew we were looking at mid-to-late 1970s vintage electronics. Surely you’ve seen a modern circuit board, with metallic traces leading all over to the various components like an electronic spider’s web. You’ll notice right away the highly accurate spacing, straightness of the lines, consistency of the patterns. That’s because we design things on computers nowadays, and computers assist in routing these lines. Take a look at the board in Ahmed’s clock. It almost looks hand-drawn, right? That’s because it probably was. Computer aided design was in its infancy in the 70s. This is how simple, low cost items (like an alarm clock) were designed. Today, even a budding beginner is going to get some computer aided assistance – in fact they’ll probably start there, learning by simulating designs before building them. You can even simulate or lay out a board with free apps on your phone or tablet. A modern hobbyist usually wouldn’t be bothered with the outdated design techniques. There’s also silk screening on the board. An “M” logo, “C-94” (probably, a part number – C might even stand for “clock”), and what looks like an American flag. More about that in a minute. Point for now being, a hobbyist wouldn’t silk screen logos and part numbers on their home made creation. It’s pretty safe to say already we’re looking at ’70s tech, mass produced in a factory.
So I turned to eBay, searching for vintage alarm clocks. It only took a minute to locate Ahmed’s clock. See this eBay listing, up at the time of this writing. Amhed’s clock was invented, and built, by Micronta, a Radio Shack subsidary. Catalog number 63 756.
The shape and design is a dead give away. The large screen. The buttons on the front laid out horizontally would have been on a separate board – a large snooze button, four control buttons, and two switches to turn the alarm on and off, and choose two brightness levels. A second board inside would have contained the actual “brains” of the unit. The clock features a 9v battery back-up, and a switch on the rear allows the owner to choose between 12 and 24 hour time. (Features like a battery back-up, and a 24 hour time selection seems awful superfluous for a hobby project, don’t you think?) Oh, and about that “M” logo on the circuit board mentioned above? Micronta.
For one last bit of confirmation, I located the pencil box Ahmed used for his project. During this video interview he again claims it was his “invention” and that he “made” the device – but the important thing at the moment, at 1:13, we see him showing the pencil box on his computer screen. Here it is on Amazon, where it’s clearly labeled as being 8.25 inches wide. Our eBay seller also conveniently took a photo of the clock next to a ruler to show it’s scale – about 8 inches wide. The dimensions all line up perfectly.
So there you have it folks, Ahmed Mohamad did not invent, nor build a clock. He took apart an existing clock, and transplanted the guts into a pencil box, and claimed it was his own creation. It all seems really fishy to me.
If we accept the story about “inventing” an alarm clock is made up, as I think I’ve made a pretty good case for, it’s fair to wonder what other parts of the story might be made up, not reported factually by the media, or at least, exaggerated.
