Crock Boy: When the Media Gets Owned by a 14-year-old

By Selwyn Duke

Take the money and run. With the huge windfall enjoyed by the Mohamed family -- of clock-bomb-arrest fame -- in “Islamophobic” America, one might think that little clock-maker extraordinaire Ahmed would head to Switzerland for an internship with Rolex. Instead, news is his whole family is moving to Qatar after the boy accepted a scholarship from the Qatar Foundation for Education. Because, you know, if you’re interested in pushing back scientific frontiers, the Islamic world is where you go.

 

Now, Qatar is an interesting choice. Its official state religion is Wahhabi Islam -- this is also the dominant faith in Saudi Arabia. And like Saudi Arabia, the nation’s main source of legislation is Sharia law (I’m sure Ahmed’s sisters will love it {and maybe they will}). It’s quite telling, however, that the Mohamed clan would choose such a place, although not surprising, really. With Ahmed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed (talk about wearing out a name), being a Muslim activist who twice ran for the Sudan’s presidency, it wouldn’t be surprising if these people were “true believers.”
