I Stand With Ahmed

  By now everybody has talked about Ahmed Mohammad of Texas in the media and everywhere in the world
 The world famous 14 year old boy whose parents happen to be Muslim and also immigrants from Sudan but they are "Americans" or are they?
 Many in media and media-taught Americans would consider them Non-Americans.
"Muslims have no business being in America"
 Whether the "invention" of the boy was  just a hoax is also being thrown out by experts in Engineering and Technology, that the boy just bought an ordinary digital alarm clock and converted into a shape for advancing it as his own invention. There is so much variety of discussions.
 Quite apart from that no body asks questions like:
 Suppose the exact same thing was done by a "John Carpenter" with a pure white skin, would that have been handled in the same way
 The answer would be a definite NO
 I remember an old patient of mine who was highly intelligent and was expelled from is college because he made a "bomb" (A strong punishment for a college boy TEENAGER.) Although I wrote the word here but my name being Ahmad I am hugely conscious of this "four-letter-word"
     Then again if he really had a ""b--b would he so innocently bring it to show of knowing fully that he is a Muslim and not white? Can any Muslim be so crazy?
  Yet all the important and responsible persons keep saying that everything that happened including hand-cuffing the boy was completely appropriate and according to the prevailing laws. Meaning that when there is suspicion of security and the person is NOT White, the "culprit" is a suspect with no rights of a citizen and the people including the police can and should do everything without regard to the rights of individual and nobody has to apologize.
  If you have colored skin (problem and suspicion #1) and your name is Muslim-sounding" (problem #2), you've had it brother
Every educated person knows that
"Religious freedom is constitutionally provided"
The most interesting thing everybody conveniently forgets is that:
 Islam provided religious freedom in Islamic lands and that has been the teaching for over 1400 years  which is still correct though the modern day Muslim countries do not follow that teaching and BTW this is not the only thing present in the American Constitution which complies with Islamic teachings. To an ordinary Muslim like me reading the constitution makes me suspicious that the American founders 'got' all these things from Islamic rules
