Right, a Muslim can't be  mistreated. But, if a Muslim is mistreated, he must've brought it upon himself as some part of a evil scheme.  That's those scheming Muslims for you.

It is really shocking how little shame you have in displaying your Islamophobia. [/quote]

I was on your page yesterday. After listening to what this kid is saying in his media whirlwind, it's making me think otherwise. [/quote]

I really don't know what your point is.[b] As best I can tell, you think that because Ahmed's father is some sort of activist, this entire thing was a set-up. To what end?[/b]

But, let's discuss some things that we know are set-ups. All the O'Keefe videos that set up Acorn and others. You liked those videos didn't you? The videos coming out about Planned Parenthood were set-ups with the photographers adapting false identities. You are a great fan of those videos, are you not?

I don't think the incident with the clock was a set-up. But, I think you are a giant hypocrite for using that as an excuse to "think otherwise" about a situation that was clearly mishandled.

NP. Jeff, please, don't be dense. To what end? To the end they are experiencing! Ahmed himself said he "never thought it would get this far." You can take that a number of ways.

CNN interviews, trip to the White House, MIT calling, media fawning .... not bad for low-key risk, when all the chips fall in place.[/quote]

You believe that Ahmed thought all of that out ahead of time (while quoting him saying he never thought it would get that far) and I'm the one who is dense? It is really shocking that we have case after case of prejudice against Muslims -- a guy literally stood up at a Trump rally and said Muslims are a problem -- and people still go to extraordinary lengths to deny the obvious.

BTW, if by some extraordinary means Ahmed did manage to orchestrate this entire controversy, he is a genius. Maybe not an engineering genius, but certainly a PR genius. He had to predict the reactions of the school, the reactions of the police, the reactions of the Islamophobic mayor, etc., and be prepared to exploit all of that.

He's also made comments about moving the cause forward, etc.[/quote]

You are really reaching there.  I'm sure he would rather be a 14 year old engineering nerd than a victim of bigotry who has to change schools.[/quote]

He is doing an interview with the head of DFW-CAIR next to him. He's saying things like "I didn't think a Muslim boy would get all this attention but thanks to you..." to the MSNBC  interviewer [b] The kid was specifically told NOT to show it to any other teachers because it 'looked like a bomb'. He ignored it. And he got in trouble for it - the possibility it was a hoax bomb. You can make it all about bigotry, but it was really about this kid not listening and the administration being stupid.[/quote][/b]

This!!!!  and I bet a White, Black, Hispanic , Asian or Native American kid would have been treated the exact same way!  [/quote]
