That’s rich – a Sikh with a time bomb.
Does he know who was responsible for:
Air India bombing?
Canadian Airlines bomb at Narita?
If not he just flunked history.
Sikh or not, the clock at 9:11 is disturbing.
I know a couple of places where bringing that clock might get it cleaned for him.
WOW!!! Perhaps it’s just a coincidence… but WOW all the same!
Ah remember the scene in Zombieland where Bill Murray pretended to be a zombie? Its only a matter of time before the same thing happens with these stunts and that is actually what these goofs are hoping for. The father of the boy set him up for a possible kill, what a sick bastard, willing to sacrifice his son for a news headline.
Even a broken clock screams 9-11 twice a day
In this case Immigration Canada’s family reunification program hasn’t been utilized. Otherwise Granpa would have sat this young puppy down on his knee and explained about Sikhs and mooselimbs a long time ago in a land far, far away:

Any article or post about this friggin’ clock story should include a photo of the kid’s actual device. Just like any story about future PM Omar Khadr should include that photo of him holding all of those severed hands.
Want to be daring, Ahmed? Take your engineering hobby clock to an airport and wave it around.
For all the supposed peace loving muslims, it would help if you started using names like Fred or Mike instead of Ahmed, Achmed and Mohammed!
There’s a picture in this article:

Little Ahmed’s clock was not any great work of creativity. He did not build the clock from scratch, nor did he buy a kit (readily available for a few dollars) and solder a bunch of components onto a board to make a clock. He simply gutted a store-bought clock and mounted the guts of it in a “pencil case”, making a pretty good facsimile of a time bomb, leastwise as such are depicted in countless movies and TV shows.
It was more a case of “deconstructing” a clock than of making one, and given the kid’s family background and religion, only a total fool would believe this stunt is anything other than a deliberate provocation intended to provoke an over-reaction by the school authorities.
And this Sikh goof is a goof. A disgrace to his co-religionists. That clock of his dirty, isn’t it?
Muslim? Sikh? Who cares? Idiocy knows no boundaries … racial, religious or otherwise. The only exception might be political. The left seems to attract the huge majority of cretins and I don’t think it’s coincidental.
The self-obsessed aim of these poseurs is to showcase their cutting-edge open-mindedness. In reality it is more of the same predictable albeit irritating tedium. Oh, you’re so original. Everybody else is just soooo uptight.
RELAX everyone!
It was only to test response of authorities.
The next Sandy Hook will have the real thing, don’t worry…..
When I was in highschool, I built a roulette wheel out of component parts. The educational system (my teacher of elecctronics) gave me a B+. I walked around the school challengeing my classmates and made over $30. In one day.
Ah well, such is progress.

the really disturbing thing about this is barack hussein obama internationally shaming law enforcement for doing their job.
if i simply said the word “bomb” at a canadian airport, it would be good for an overnight stay at the crowbar motel, an aggressive cavity search and being added to the no-fly list.
in obama’s new america, this kid gets added to the list of sons he never had.
before voting next month, remember that both justin & tommy trotsky campaigned to free omar khadr.

Yeah, it seems this was a “dry run”.
“Yeah, it seems this was a “dry run”.”
No kidding. This guy should have been pepper sprayed, beaten with a baton, and then tackled by 6 steroid built cops. After arrest I’d have his beard shaved off to better facilitate the water-boarding before putting him on a slow leaky boat to India via pirate infested Somali waters!
Twitter is a plague upon society…
The Sikh religion was formed to kill Muslims.

“The Sikh religion was formed to kill Muslims.”
That didn’t work out very well did it. They can drive a mean taxi though, I’m wondering what in their religion and training inspired them to excel in dominating the western taxi industry?
I Calgary they pretty much run all the filling stations to.

Original news story on US media – Syrian teen arrested at school for bringing a “hoax bomb” to science class. Here’s some topical satire for your entertainment.
*.*
DAYR AL-ZAWR, Syria — Syrian teenager Sami Halaseh was beheaded for occultism yesterday after he built a clock and and brought it into his bomb-making school, according to The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The 9th grader at former Ali Ibrahim Mohammad Secondary Madrasa was accused and convicted of creating a digital clock from a U.S. Meal Ready to Eat (MRE) box at his English-speaking Jihadi academy, sources said.
Witnesses – who did not wish to be identified – claimed that that it was a simple but unfortunate misunderstanding after the “Jihadi prodigy” brought a revolutionary new IED to school – an invention he called a “time-bomb.” Sources report that Halaseh had been working on it since the U.S. Air Force over-shot a Sinjar Mountain resupply drop by over 250 miles last year.
“They immediately reacted as if it were a clock,” one source said. “He just kept saying: ‘It’s not a clock. It’s a bomb!’ But they didn’t believe him.”
Instructors originally grew suspicious after Halaseh did not publicly denounce the “whiz-kid” title his classmates bestowed upon him in their “Basic IED” class. For his tacit usurpation of Allah’s rightful authority as “the one, true God,” instructors imprisoned Halaseh for his insolence. It was at the end of many torture sessions instructors finally analyzed the otherworldly device, and noticed numbers moving sequentially, when they assumed the worst.
“Even when they hung him from the ceiling and beat him with broomsticks, he was adamant that it was a bomb all the way until the end,” the source said.
The Islamic State, which beheaded four other heretics earlier this summer, officially stated that they will not tolerate any device that attempts to understand or quantify the will of Allah, even if it means measuring the span of events or periods between them.
“Unless it somehow furthers our interest of crushing the Zionist state of Israel or the Western devils of the United States, the Islamic State views all deviations from jihadism, whether of an artistic, technological, or scientific nature, as the highest form of apostasy,” said ISIS spokesman Jussain Al Zahabi. “We draw a literal and figurative line in the sand when it comes to individuals under ISIS rule ‘trying to play God.’”
“Except Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,” said Al Zahabi. “He gets to do whatever he wants.”
In related news, Al-Baghdadi expressed his sincere condolences via Twitter after 35 ISIS fighters were killed in the jihadi teacher’s lounge when Halaseh’s clock detonated as scheduled.
The kid made a clock to like like a bomb. Would we suspect he did it deliberately? This is beyond silly. A lot of guys with the name Mohammed blow things up. Are we supposed to ignore that fact?
My kid had a nail clipper taken away at school. Some kid named Mohammed shows up with a fake bomb. What is the school supposed to do?
Someone brought a radio aboard Air India flight 182.
Will Professor Singh duplicate that bit of calamity (sans the bomb, of course) just so he be a part of the Great Happening?
It would be too much to ask leftists to stop being juvenile. Air-lift every one of them to Syria and leave them there. They can tweet about how much ISIS rapists are phone-charger hogs.
I hope Federal agents used the probability of the incident to do a search of his home and run security checks on all the relatives and detain those for questioning with suspicious association – oh, forgot – this is the Obumbles caliphate and this only happens to Christian right to lifers, veterans and gun owners.

I do not support any mockery of 9/11. The clock reads 9:13 because that’s what time we took the photo. Apologies for any misinterpretation.
“I do not support any mockery of 9/11. The clock reads 9:13 because that’s what time we took the photo. Apologies for any misinterpretation.”
Yeah, riiiiiight.
The guy looks like a fruit to me. ( Not that there’s anything wrong with fruits.)
@neo: “the really disturbing thing about this is barack hussein obama internationally shaming law enforcement for doing their job.”
Good point.
I understand that the kid will be a guest at the White House. Obama seems to have a thing for getting involved in local matters. This is the third time that I am aware of his jumping in. Turns out he was in the wrong in the first 2 cases (1. the Massachusetts professor and 2. his son Treyvon) ……. so what will the outcome be in this one?
Having said that, I personally believe this was a nonsense arrest. What law (not school policy, many of which are totally absurd) was broken? None is the answer.
That 9-11 thing was no coincidence. And for the record, the kid did not
take a clock to school, it was a timer with a remote trigger.
This man believes the “invention” is just a Micronta clock taken apart:

I
blew upzoomed in on the image and then measured the location of the minute hand. The time seems to be about 9:11 and 30 seconds – it definitely isn’t 9:13 as the Sikh professor claims.Honestly, you guys keep getting kookier and kookier.
First of all, the “brief case” was tiny. It had some wires, a motherboard, and a digital display. No dynamite. No plastic explosive. No mysterious liquids or anything that upon the most basic examination should lead you to believe that it was in fact a bomb or hoax bomb. And then there is the fact that he kept saying it was a clock.
But no. You people poop your diapers and insist there is some conspiracy at work here. Honestly… I know racists can’t see when they’re being racist so it’s pointless to argue with you blockheads, but still. This takes the cake.
Relax and enjoy this little film.

See… brown people can be funny too! They’re not always trying to behead you, or rape white women.

“brown people can be funny too! They’re not always trying to behead you, or rape white women.”
You are one racist POS John, if anyone the RCMP, and every security agency in NA should be looking into YOU!
Enjoy your murdering support for chopping up black babies and ghettoizing the ones that survive. Enjoy the fruits of your Arab Spring support as a million “funny brown people” are butchered via the Obamba/ EU policies people of your ilk supported.
You are one sick racist pig of a human being, with no moral authority around here.
I guess the kid could have brought a pressure cooker to school, now how funny would that have been, a real rib tickler. that case looked enough like a bomb to me. when you become an expert in bombs and the disposal thereof give us a call.
Some people can’t seem to discern what constitutes racism, religion is not a race. If a group of people kill and terrorize in the name of religion whatever race they belong to is of no concern beyond identifying them and taking no chances for the safety of all people around the World. If that kid tried to board a plane with his little box of wires he would have been taken aside pronto and rightly so. Obama going overboard is not helping anyone.
old white guy >
Used to be that school boys across North America carried pocket knives to school or had a hunting rifle or two out in the pick-up truck. No major problems then, yet “John” would have been at the front of the line screaming like an idiot to have all those “weapons” banned from school and other public properties.
So scroll ahead to the millennia and ask “John” how he feels about Sikh Karpins worn in public schools or anywhere for that matter:
https://www.au.org/church-state/march-2011-church-state/au-bulletin/compromise-allows-sikh-daggers-in-public-school
“John” is a Left wing Moonbat so by natural default a lier, hypocrite, and a projector – “I know racists can’t see when they’re being racist….” – John
Yea, we know as well.
Why no WH response on these?

Heh, John.
A little late to the party, eh? But totally predictable.
So if I built a faithful copy of little Ahmed’s “invention”, and left it on the doorstep of a mosque, you’d be totally down with that? After all, any idiot could tell it’s not a bomb.
This explains how another Radio shack alarm clock was fitted out to be the timer in Air India 182 which was actually one of two bombs, the other one blew up in Tokyo on the tarmac. Sikh boat mechanic took months to figure it out, was improved for Pan Am over Lockerbie.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_India_Flight_182#Explosives_and_clocks
Here is the meat of how to turn an alarm clock into a bomb. It’s not something you can do 20 mins before you go to bed.
In April 1985, a Canadian familiar with blasting was asked by Reyat how much dynamite it would take to blow up a tree stump. Another friend who listened in recalled that Reyat was very agitated about “getting even for the sacrilege at Amritsar, he was almost talking like Hitler.”[30] Reyat was not shy about telling everyone he knew around Duncan about the need for revenge, or asking about explosives. Reyat sought cases of dynamite and did not care if he had to pay three times the normal price. He eventually confided it was not about stumps, but “trouble in the old country”, that he needed “explosives to help my countrymen.”[30] One friend declined to get him dynamite, but did lend him a 400-page manual on mining with explosives.[30]
On 8 May 1985, Reyat bought a Micronta digital automobile clock at the Radio Shack store in Duncan.[31] Designed for a 12-volt automobile electrical system, it could also be powered by a 12-volt lantern battery. The 24-hour alarm activated a buzzer, but he returned a week later for an electrical relay after asking how to get the buzzer signal to power another device. Wiretappers recorded nine telephone calls between Parmar’s residence in Vancouver and Reyat from either his residence or workplace on Vancouver Island that month, which got Reyat added to the list of persons being monitored for terrorist activities.[32] The Canadian government would later accuse Reyat of lying in 2003 when at first he said he did not know what three clocks he had bought could be used for. He later said Parmar needed an explosive device to blow up a bridge or something large in India, and that he needed timers for an explosive device. In that case, the relay could be used to trigger the detonator circuit for a blasting cap which would provide the initial shock needed to detonate larger explosives such as dynamite.[20][21]
Reyat later visited a television repair shop with a partially disassembled car clock wired to a lantern battery. He needed help so that the buzzer stayed on rather than intermittently beeping, so that it would turn on a light in his camper to wake him up. The repairman knew his friend did not own a camper, and it would even strike Justice J. Raymond Paris at Reyat’s 1991 trial as an odd use for a timer.[33]
This is what a movie time bomb is supposed to look like. Look nothing like that student project except for clock display, buttons and bare wires hanging out.
