“I think it is because of Islamophobia and the [impact] of 911”

Father of 14-year-old teen Ahmed Mohamed, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed said that his son was suspected because he is a Muslim with dark skin, correlating his invention with impact of 911. Disappointed with his arrest Ahmed Mohamed said “I’ve lost my innocence. I can never look at the world in the same way. I like science, but I look like a threat because of my brown skin. My engineering teacher at MacArthur High School in Irving told me it looked like a bomb, advised not to show it to anyone else.”

Ahmed added further “I built the clock to impress my teacher, but when I showed it to her, she thought it was a threat to her. She said it looked a bomb, and called the police. So it was really sad she took the wrong impression of it.”
