خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

قام مجلس العلاقات الأمريكية الإسلامية "كير" باختيار الطالب "محمد أحمد" (14 عامًا) - مخترع الساعة الذي أثار اعتقاله وتعرُّضه لظلم بالغ إثر اختراعه - الشخصية الإسلامية الأمريكية المتميزة لعام 2015.

وقد أكد الطالب - تعليقًا على التكريم - أنه يرغب في مكافحة التمييز والعنصرية؛ لأنه وقع ضحيةً لهما؛ مما دفع الملايين حول العالم للتعاطف معه، ومن بينهم الرئيس الأمريكي الذي دعاه عبر تويتر إلى زيارة "البيت الأبيض" في أُمسية علمية؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Ahmed Mohamed honored by Muslim civil rights group

The Texas teen most Americans know because he built a homemade clock was in Arlington Saturday night to pick up an award.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations honored Ahmed Mohamed as "American Muslim of the year."

He told the group he wants to fight for justice.

"I just want to stop discrimination...not just for religions...but for all races as well" He told the crowd.

Back in September, the 14-year-old was handcuffed, detained and suspended from his Dallas area high school after he brought a homemade clock to school one of his teachers thought looked like a bomb.

Police never charged the teen. The move sparked claims that he had been singled out because he is Muslim.

Ahmed drew support from more than a million on Twitter...including President Obama who tweeted: "Cool clock Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House?"

We got a chance to speak to the teen one on one. He is quiet...perhaps even a bit shy, but says he is really looking forward to his trip to the White House on Monday.

"I'm really excited to go the White House on astronomy night...and to meet a lot of great people..." Ahmed told us.

Excited he says, because he is interested in all things science.
