Muslim student (whose sister had been suspended for threatening to blow up the school) brings a ticking clock disguised as a bomb to class. Shows everyone until a teacher expresses concern and alerts school admin. Admin alerts local law enforcement. Bomb-clock boy and his jihad family cry “islamophobia.”And the games begin.
Moahmed Mohamed and his clock boy son, Ahmed filed suit for millions for defamation (and clearly under the sharia it is defamation- truth is prohibited under the sharia if it offends Muslims).
Our legal team, American Freedom Law Center (who has triumphed on our behalf fighting sharia more times than I can count) has prevailed in this frivolous, hoax lawsuit by the infamous “clockboy.”
Ahmed Mohamed (aka clockmed) took apart an LCD digital clock and stuck it in a box. What he put together resembled a homemade bomb. Ahmed brought a strange ticking device to his high school that set off alarms and fear. When teachers and school administration officials became concerned for the safety of the students, they walked into Clockmed’s trap. The student was detained for having what resembled a bomb. Officers said the clock and wires inside his Vaultz pencil case looked like a hoax bomb to them. When questioned about the device was, Ahmed wouldn’t answer. Ahmed and his notorious father claimed to be victims of “Islamophobia.” Lauded by President Obama, the Pope, 97 world leaders, the UN, hailed by NYC Mayor Bill deBlasio, who declared “Ahmed Day,” he became a media icon and hero.
Clockmed and his father sued anyone who questioned their story and/or their motives.
Today, truth, justice and American law prevailed.
Appeals Court: Dismissal of Clock Boy’s Defamation Lawsuit Affirmed; Award of AFLC Lawyers’ Fees Affirmed
Dallas, Texas (July 11, 2018) – Late today, the Texas Court of Appeals for the Fifth District in Dallas affirmed the trial court’s ruling dismissing in its entirety a defamation lawsuit filed by Mohamed Mohamed on his own behalf and on behalf of his 15-year old son, Ahmed Mohamed. Ahmed is better known as “Clock Boy” for bringing a hoax clock bomb to his Irving, Texas middle school in September 2015 and causing a bomb scare that led to his arrest and suspension from school.
The motion to dismiss was filed by lawyers from the American Freedom Law Center (“AFLC”) and local counsel Pete Rowe on behalf of the Center for Security Policy (“CSP”) and Jim Hanson, two of the defendants in the defamation case, which also named as defendants Ben Shapiro, the local Fox affiliate, Glenn Beck, and Beck’s production company. All claims against all defendants were ultimately dismissed. AFLC (and Mr. Rowe) also represented CSP and Hanson on the appeal. The appeals court not only affirmed the dismissal but affirmed the award of nearly $200,000 for attorney’s fees and costs, including AFLC’s $67,238.50 in legal fees at the trial level and $130,000 in conditional legal fees for the appellate work.
Mohamed had sued Hanson and CSP for statements Hanson had made on Beck’s program about the connection between the Clock Boy hoax bomb affair and the attendant media frenzy created in large part by his father Mohamed, and how this was all part of civilization jihad driven by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (“CAIR”), the Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas front group in the United States that promotes civilization jihad through lawsuits.
The Texas appeals court specifically ruled that Mohamed had not made out a case for defamation because CSP and Hanson had based their statements in large part on the involvement of CAIR, which the court noted, quoting first Shapiro and then Hanson, was “an organization . . . the federal government had linked to Islamic terrorist supporters as an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism case.” The court also noted that “CAIR is known to be an Islamist organization with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.”
Following the appeals court ruling, AFLC co-founder and senior counsel David Yerushalmi explained:
“The purpose of this CAIR-driven lawsuit was to intimidate into silence those who might comment publicly on the connection between jihad, terrorism, sharia, and Islam.”
Yerushalmi added,
“This case was a classic Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation or ‘SLAPP’ case and should never have been filed. The Texas courts have confirmed this once and for all.”
Robert Muise, AFLC’s other co-founder and senior counsel, made clear:
“AFLC was formed in large measure to take on Islamists like CAIR who use and abuse the legal system with their cynical form of lawfare to undermine our constitutional liberties—notably free speech. We have confronted these lawsuits across the country in federal and state courts and have defeated CAIR and its minions at every turn. When appropriate, we have won sanctions. This lawsuit has proven to be no different. We will continue to confront CAIR and other Islamists organizations in any and all legal fora.”

Excellent. Well done to AFDI, David Yerushalmi and company. May the good work continue.
jihadi deserves it !
Left/Libs welcome jihadis and run around like cowards after they start committing gang rapes, assaults

Glad Clockboy got his clock cleaned and hopefully this sets a precedent to quash frivolous or intimidating lawsuits by Muslim pressure groups intended to silence any criticism of Islam.
What was most egregious was how the media, Obama, NYC mayor and others showered this devious little jihadist with praise and support when his ruse was obvious to any thinking person who observed this incident.
What if it was an actual bomb? How could anyone tell it wasn’t? The same judgment applies that officers use when confronting a suspect with a gun, it could be a fake or real but it must be treated as real. This ruling also restores credibility to simple common sense.
Clockboy thought they could make normal Americans look like “racist islamophobic bigots” but clearly, it backfired badly and it was well deserved. They should pay damages to everyone affected including the school, police, teachers, and others whose reputations were marred and people who were put in needless fear over this hoax.
Who will pay the $200,000. Presumably, clock makers don’t have that sort of $.
And this is what your children are being taught in high school now!

“Document 2
. . . Wherever they went, the Moslems brought with them their love of art, beauty, and learning.
From about the eighth to the eleventh century, their culture was superior in many ways to that
of western Christendom.
Some of the finest centers of Moslem life were established in Spain. In Cordova, the streets
were solidly paved, while at the same time in Paris people waded ankle-deep in mud after a rain.
Cordovan public lamps lighted roads for as far as ten miles; yet seven hundred years later there
was still not a single public lamp in London!
Some Spanish Moslems had homes with marble balconies and courts with lovely waterfalls.
Bedrooms were vaulted with stained glass and speckled with gold. And metal pipes carried water
into marble baths.
Nearly every mosque had a public school in which the children of the poor were taught. Many
Moslem libraries were excellent; the catalogue of one caliph’s library filled forty volumes. In
addition, the followers of Mohammed achieved much in science, particularly in chemistry,
astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. . . .

We need the reintroduction of hanging for treason for whoever is responsible for these lies.
Is The Geller Report not using Discus any more, for comment management? What happened?
In any event, well done. An excellent legal result.
The wheels of justice do grind slowly. But usually they grind exceedingly fine.
The truth wins.
This lawsuit was obviously without merit. Where I still have a problem is in thinking Clockboy still broke the law. The City Council as I recall, was headed by a strong practical woman who stood up to him even when the police sat on their thumbs.
I have noticed, over many years, that some Muslims like to push the limits of bad behavior, just to see how far they can go. It might mean taking pictures while surveilling crowded places, which people will perceive as suspicious, or blatant attempts to rile people. We must let them know that this is not what we would expect from refugees, and we don’t want that kind of person living here.
If I were to tape a few road-flares, tape them together to look like sticks of dynamite, attach a timer to it, and walk into a bank, put it on the counter, and ask for money, do I have to make any additional threats? I never said it was a bomb. I never threatened anybody, and I only asked for money. Did I break any law? I did not have a real bomb, and I did not actually propose a threat, and politely asked for the money. Of course, I could have presented a fake gun, but why complicate things further. The actual threat was only in the mind of the bankers. But they had common sense and did more than they were asked, because they thought there was a threat. And, this bit of extortion is what was intended.
So, Achmed, I hope you never return to the news as being alive within the USA. We don’t like you, and somebody, not me, will eventually get rid of you before you do further damage.
While I don’t remember her name, that same woman, from the City Council, (possibly the mayor) should go on to a higher political office. She was my idea of a great woman for politics, and she would have my vote based on her performance.
Good post. You’ve got a great analysis going there.
I’m impressed. The 5th of Dallas is not necessarily the best district to stop a frivolous lawsuit.
OTOH: This suit was especially frivolous.
“Islamist” because if you can’t identify your enemy you’ll never defeat him/her/it. The atheist West is done.
This *********** knew very well what effect it would have.
He was lucky not to have been shot!
Enough victim games, let us simply move on.
