On this day, Ahmed Mohammed was born in Sudan. A humble and creative baby, he had no idea he would grow up to become a teen activist!
-
Ahmed is enrolled in a high school in Irving, Texas, and he wants to make a good impression on his teachers. His father suggests that he uses his talent - basic technological engineering - to help him, and so, he makes a clock out of a pencil case.
-
The day after building his clock, Ahmed brings his product to school and is shocked to find out that one of his teachers suspected it was a bomb! Shortly after showing it it his teacher, the bomb-squad arrives and cuffs Ahmed.
-
Two days after Ahmed's unfair arrest, Twitter was talking all about it, uploading over 500,000 posts with the tag - #IStandWithAhmed - in a short time. Even the president of the United States, Barack Obama, posted some kind words of encouragement to Ahmed.
-
After cleaning up a few issues related to law, Ahmed and his family was free from the Jury. The next step? The family decided to move to Qatar. They believed the incident was a case of Islamophobia, and so their decision was to put Ahmed in an environment where his religion wouldn't be disgraced and his talent would be appreciated.
