Quote:As far as him and his family moving to Qatar, what is interesting is that this is how radical Islamic Jihadists are created... by sending them to certain schools.  The Qatar Foundation is who paid for the move, and something seems rather suspicious.  From the wiki page.

I had a hunch you or jj would take it there, and I'm disappointed. There are many easier ways to make the kid into a radical jihadist than this. It happened, the parents saw a way to get some attention (and probably easy cash), and the opportunity to move to Qatar and get a full ride presented itself.

 

I think it's more likely that his parents and backers in Qatar want him to become a world-class scientist or engineer and rub him in the United States' face. Having the "clock kid" blow up a school bus would be a massive embarrassment to all involved.
