Naturally, the president of the United States ridiculed the whole thing and invited Ahmed and his “ cool clock” to the White House. So even after Ahmed was cleared, he was still guilty.

Instead, the police chief said there’d be no charges, and both school and police shielded their stupidity and prejudice behind the big fat claim of school safety, the default excuse for all imaginable abuses of power, while still suggesting in a letter to parents that Ahmed somehow violated the school code of conduct. After learning their mistake there was no apology.

In Irving, Texas, school and cops looked at that and took Ahmed down. That’s our America of E pluribus unum, though that unum might need amending to rabidus. We’re going to be looking at that and plenty of other things.” “And you know that a lot of people are saying that, and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. “We’re gonna be looking at a lot of different things,” he told his fellow-bigot. So he’d been warmed up to apply the same kind of thinking to Muslims. Just days ago at the second nationally televised GOP bacchanal he was part of the chorus of presidential hopefuls swooning over pledges to deport 11 million “illegals” (the kind of mass expulsions only three men have pulled off in history: Hitler, Stalin and Mao). McCain told her no, Obama is “a decent family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with.” He was actually praised for that revolting response, as if his corrective hadn’t made the woman’s point–that being accused of being a Arab is an affront.

Liberals Must See Past the No-Exit Calvinism of Critical Race Theory.That’s my question: when can we get rid of ’em?” After noting that President Obama is not an American but a Muslim, reminding us all how the two are mutually exclusive, he went on to claim that “we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. Thursday night in New Hampshire, well after the Irving Police Department had been shaming itself and the nation with Ahmed’s arrest, a commonplace bigot stood up during a town hall meeting with Trump. Naturally Jones is now running for president, though his bigotry looks unremarkable next to that of The Donald and many of the other crazies on the GOP jalopy, while Sheikh Mohamed is trying to figure out the latest absurdity of the American paradox.īut this is what happens when zero tolerance is wedded to the kind anti-Islamic hysteria that’s nowhere near abating in this country.

And he has had his run-in with Florida’s brand of fanatics: when Terry Jones, the pastor of the late Dove World Outreach center in Gainesville, decided to put the Koran on trial and burn it publicly five years ago, it was Ahmed’s father, Sheikh Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, who volunteered to defend the book in Jones’s laird. Ahmed’s father’s only fanaticism is for human rights. Sufis have been at the forefront of Islam’s most progressive movements, denouncing violence and sounding like flower children of the 60s. If anyone in school had ever cared to look into his Muslim background, they might have learned that he is a Sufi Muslim, which is-to put it crudely-Islam’s version of Franciscans: they wouldn’t hurt a fly.
