I don't know if the situation would have been handled any differently by the school if Ahmed had been Jewish, or Christian, or Hindi... Ahmed's father suspects so, but the school says otherwise.
Since I haven't heard the details of what occurred from the teachers' side or the officers' side, I'm not assuming that Ahmed was discriminated against due to religion.
I just don't agree with you that he should be discriminated against because he's (a) Muslim and (b) therefore presumed not to be inventive. I know for a fact that there are some very innovative Muslims now and have been throughout history -- your experience working in the Middle East and your negative feelings can't take that away from them.
