"Assembling clock from bought components is fine. Taking clock out of its case to make it look as if he built it is not fine. Which is true?"

Its looking like Ahmed didn't build a clock he just took off the case and brought it into random classes setting the alarm off. Plus his twitter he and his family are happy look at the picture they took on twitter when they all said they were going to the lawyer 
The family most likely planned this

OMG, god forbid a family smile about getting legal representation in the court of law...and have the hope justice might be served. Also what exactly is it they 'planned'? for the child to do something that doesn't violate any laws? oh how terribly evil they must be terrorists....

And of course, everything Richard Dawkins says must be accepted as the gospel truth, and be regarded as inerrant. 
(Personally, I always thought he was sort of a d*ck).

Dawkins is a raging, herpoid dick. There has never been any question about that.
With regard to computational approaches to evolutionary biology, he's among the best references.
On rational approaches to the question of whether there may be an all-powerful all-knowing deity or a supernatural anything at all, he is fairly eloquent, and noted for cribbing others in the field without attribution.
I agree completely with his assessment that the universe as we are able to perceive it strongly suggests that there is nothing but random chance and blind physical forces and no suggestion at all of any kind of intelligent force guiding anything.
But I'm pretty sure that he is standing on the shoulders of hitchens, etc, and holding a construction paper landscape below his knees so as to give the impression that he thought of it himself.
Being smart doesn't make you right about everything.
Being correct doesn't mean you aren't taking credit for work that someone else did.
Agreeing with dawkins about evolutionary biology or the utter lack of anything measuring up to more than nature doesn't mean that I'd take his word on this event or, for example, listen to his opinion on the best way to prepare pasta.

Well said.

What is Dawkins point one wonders. That the child is a pretender and warrants contempt or that the offending item was a clock after all, albeit one the child did not construct.
Odd.
