Ahmed Mohamed, 14, has been the center of attention since being led from his high school in handcuffs Monday, suspected of bringing a homemade bomb — which turned out to be a homemade clock — to school.
Not only did he get an invitation from President Barack Obama to visit the White House, but he also was the subject of a prayer vigil Thursday, all of which stirred up cries of disbelief on social media.
Houston’s NBC-5 anchor and reporter Johnny Archer tweeted:

Folks on social media were flabbergasted, and replied:
@JoeC1776 @ArcherNBC5 @NBCDFW WHERE ARE THE LAWSUITS FOR PRAYING ON SCHOOL PROPERTY?? — Lyz Estrada (@lyz_estrada) September 18, 2015
@Stanleyj @PoliticalShort @ArcherNBC5 @NBCDFW What if this was a trial run? Next one could be real & no one will dare try to find out.

Archer later tweeted:

@ArcherNBC5 @NBCDFW where are the atheist the non religious people protesting the Muslim holding this? Oh its not Christian so its ok — Phillip (@PhillipG76) September 18, 2015
@ArcherNBC5 @NBCDFW this is ridicoulous why does he need a prayer vigil? We can respect these religious beliefs but not #IStandWithKimDavis — Gene (@geneXtreme1) September 18, 2015
In addition to the prayer vigil and the presidential invitation, Mohamed has reportedly been offered internships and jobs by numerous companies, including Twitter.
All in all, not a bad deal for a kid who was temporarily detained while his homemade device was checked out.
