I STAND BY AHMEED

TALE OF TWO DIFFERENT GENERATIONS

THEN

He was a millenarian (circa 1,000 years old). Very upright and agile. Above all, a God-fearing and God-chosen one. But rejected by his people. He was deemed to be a great threat to their belief.

After several futile attempts to straighten the crooked path of his folk, His Creator was even hopeless on the profane and daring people. God then ordered him to construct a large wooden box as a sanctuary against the imminent Tsunami. He diligently carried out the Divine instruction.

But his obstinate folk decided to turn his project site to a public center where the call of nature should be honored.

The old men’s master had another plan. He struck them with leprosy-like epidemic. One of the natives went into the desolate wooden box to relieve himself accidentally slipped and fell on the littered excrement. He was miraculously cured as the result from his skin infection. He later informed his countrymen of the amazing incidence. Stampede happened on the day everyone was struggling to get his own share of share of healing by massaging the affected bodies with the remaining faeces in the box

And so the box became sparkling clean and smoother than ever.

THE NOBLE MAN IS NOAH AND THE BOX IS THE HISTORIC ARK.

NOW

He is only 14 years old who tried to impress his community with his ingenuity by crafting a magnificent home-made digital clock.

His teacher having sensed the danger looming on the poor boy for his innocence and naivety warned the lad not to display the product of his talent. But Gold Fish has nowhere to hide its dazzling trunk. The news of his bright hope however heralded to the Security Agency and was immediately apprehended, handcuffed and ushered into detention. The young lad was not arrested by the American Police for spreading terror but for doing something unique and creative.

But as usual, a media-driven, stereotyped and prejudiced Security Agency of the US pre-empts it to be a fatal gadget as it was made by an African and a Muslim boy for that matter. Bur as providence would have it, the story turned to be a terrific and memorable one for the pure-hearted lad. Sudden unimaginable series of of heroic offers begin to pour in for him

•  Invitation to the White House Astronomy Night.

•  Lifetime membership in Dallas Electronic Club.
•  Scholarship to Space Camp (NASA Marshal)
•  MIT CSAIL Lab tour (Computer Science and Artificial Intel.)
•  Offer to meet Mark Zuckeberg (The Facebook godfather.)
•  Offer to visit telescope lab at UT Austin.
•  Offer to visit General Electric (GE) Headquarters.
•  Offer to visit Google Headquarters.
• Space-Flown NASA shirt from astronaut Daniel Tani.

The world stood against his belief but obliged to adore his intelligence.

HIS NAME IS AHMED MUHAMMED.
