Back on August 9, I wrote about Yousef Megahed and Ahmed Mohamed, who were arrested in South Carolina under federal explosives charges. At the time of their arrest, Ahmed Bedier the executive director of CAIR said “Had they been two white kids nobody would be asking any questions”.

Well luckily for us, people were asking questions, because we now have the answers. According to the St. Petersburg Times, it appears the explosives carried by Yousef Megahed and Ahmed Mohamed did not have recreational purposes.

PVC pipe filled with homemade “low-grade explosive mixture” and a videotape instruction for turning a remote-controlled toy car into a detonator were among the items found in the car driven by two University of South Florida students arrested in South Carolina and now facing federal explosives charges, according to a federal prosecutor.

An assistant U.S Attorney outlined the evidence confiscated from the car driven by two suspended USF students — describing a container and three pipes filled with a low grade explosive mixture.

The list also included a videotape that instructs viewers on how to convert a toy electric car into a detonator. Defendant Ahmed Mohamed has admitted making the tape, and in it he says he intended the instruction “to save one who wants to be a martyr for another battle,” said federal prosecutor Jay Hoffer.

As I wrote last month regarding CIAR:
“If CAIR ever wants to be taken seriously by the American people their response to incidents like this should be something along the lines of “Although we do not condone violence in any way, we will reserve our judgment in this matter until more facts are known.” The only fact that CAIR seems to care about however is that the two men arrested were Muslim, that in and of itself makes them innocent in CAIR’s eyes.”

Hopefully they will take that advice and cease publicly defending every Muslim who is arrested before they find out the actual facts of the case!
