The Daily Beast got some interview time with Muslim’s most famous teen next to Malala – clock-maker/tech-wiz, Ahmed Mohamed.
As journalist Randy Potts says in the piece, “Ahmed’s story struck such a nerve because the world saw a model student thrown in handcuffs like a suspect whose crime was being brown. Where most would see a kid holding a crude electronic clock, the school apparently saw a terrorist.”
During the interview, the reporter asks Ahmed if he’s ever heard of fifteen minutes of fame for which the 14 year old replies, “This is gonna be soooooo much longer.”
Indeed!
