Comedian Bill Maher is defending the arrest of Texas teen Ahmed Mohamed, who brought a homemade clock school authorities thought looked like a bomb.

Maher said on his "Real Time" HBO show the clock looked exactly like a " f-cking bomb."

“Look, this kid deserves an apology, no doubt about it, they were wrong, but can we have a little perspective about this?” Maher said on his show on Friday. “Did the teacher really do the wrong thing?”

Guest Jorge Ramos, Univision anchor claimed the teen was arrested because of he was Muslim.

“Because for the last 30 years, it’s been one culture that has been blowing shit up over and over again,” Maher responded.

“What if it had been a bomb?” Maher asked. “So the teacher is supposed to see something that looks like a bomb and go, ‘oh wait, this might just be my white privilege talking’? ‘I don’t want to be politically incorrect, so I’ll just let it go.’”

“He was arrested and they took him off in cuffs and then put him in a cage and burned him,” he said. “Oh, no, that’s ISIS who does that. We put a kid after school for a couple of hours. This is not the end of the world.”

Mohamed got an invite to the White House by President Obama. “Cool clock, Ahmed,” the president tweeted on Wednesday. “Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great.”
