Muslims are followers of Islam, America is a country with it's citizens being called "Americans".

Lets agree that if the boy wasnt a muslim, suspicion wouldnt even have arised.

The Police had the same probable cause and would have arrested anyone doing the same thing.

He appears to be a teenage lad. Why has he been handcuffed like a professional criminal ?

he is terrorist like u and me as he is muslim.

Muslims are followers of Islam, America is a country with it's citizens being called "Americans".

but where does that logic goes when an American or a person from any other country who follows Islam get involved in the act of terrorism !

Yup and also the treatment:

There is no denying that the poor kid was traumatized all because he was a Muslim. While the charges may have been dropped and the social media's response may be considered reconciliatory, but this incident will go down in history as one of the weighty effects of Islamophobia and societal regression in the US.

The school and the police have done nothing wrong here from a legal standpoint. They acted in the best interests of safety as they are required to do.

It's not a bomb.
It's not a hoax-bomb.
Where is the legal standpoint for that?

The arrest of Ahmed Mohamed in Texas highlights the worrying institutionalisation of Islamophobia in US schools.
Donning his NASA T-shirt, young Ahmed Mohamed walked into his ninth grade class Monday morning, proudly holding the clock he had meticulously assembled at home. The 14-year-old Muslim American student, with a zeal for assembling, disassembling and fixing radios, computers and go-karts, hoped to draw the praise of his teacher. Instead, Dallas police were called in, Ahmed's hands were cuffed, and the stunned high school student was removed from the premises.

Schools routinely reward innovation, creativity and hard work. However, Mohamed was Muslim, which drove his teacher and school administrators to first, view the homemade digital clock as a bomb; and second, relate his electronic handiness to terrorist activity.
More than merely a case of individual bigotry or institutional negligence, Mohamed's case manifests the spread of anti-Muslim bigotry, or "Islamophobia", into the most formative and vulnerable spaces of American society - schools.

Did you see the case he brought it in? And why did it go off in a different class than the one he initially showed it in, causing a disruption? There was enough probable cause from a legal standpoint for the police to take action, which it did, correctly. Further investigation cleared him, so the charges were dropped, as they should be, correctly.

Of course. People and systems actually work well in USA.

Kid brings an electronics project to school, he gets arrested<---- to be duly noted, that the kid is a brown muslim guy.
Take a gun to a movie theater or high school, kill dozens, claim psychological problems, yea man, systems work extremely well in USA.
