‘Clock Boy’ is Back But Good News, A Judge Pulled the Plug on Family’s Lawsuit

Okay, you can go away for good now.

He’s baaaack! Ahmed Mohamed, a.k.a. Clock Boy, a.k.a. Clockmed, the Texas Muslim teen who brought a disassembled digital clock to school inside a box that made it definitely look like a bomb. (Except not to President Obama, who thought it looked super cool.) But this time there’s some good news to report and it may be the last we hear from him or his family. Hopefully.

Check this out from American Freedom Law Center:

Following a nearly three-hour hearing held yesterday, newly appointed District Court Judge Maricela Moore dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by Mohamed Mohamed on his own behalf and on behalf of his 15-year-old son, Ahmed Mohamed.

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 the local Fox affiliate, Glenn Beck, and Beck’s production company.

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, the attendant media frenzy created in large part by his father Mohamed, civilization jihad, and the Counsel on American-Islamic Relations (“CAIR”), the Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas front group in the United States that promotes civilization jihad.

AFLC attorneys argued that Mohamed’s “lawfare-driven lawsuit was to intimidate into silence those who might comment publicly on the connection between jihad, terrorism, sharia, and Islam.”

Judge Moore pressed Mohamed’s lawyer to provide anything to support his claims that anything defamatory was said about the boy or his father on any of the broadcasts in question.

“After spending a painfully embarrassing 15 minutes flipping through reams of paper, Mohamed’s lawyer was unable to provide any such evidence,” AFLC notes.

This was a “classic” case of “Islamist lawfare, which is a component of the Muslim Brotherhood’s civilization jihad,” said AFLC’s David Yerushalmi said.

Now that the case has been shut down, AFLC is pursuing legal fees and sanctions against the Mohamed family and their attorney.

AFLC co-founder Robert Muise said his organization would continue fighting these Islamic abuses of our legal system:

“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 will be no different.”

Sweet, sweet justice.
