A teacher called the police on a Muslim child who has Down's Syndrome fearing he could be a " terrorist " - even though he cannot speak.

Mohammed Suleiman, six, allegedly kept repeating the words "Allah" and "boom" in class, prompting investigations from the police and Child Protective Services.

But his parents, from Pearland, Texas, say this cannot be true because he has the mental capacity of a one-year-old and is unable to talk.

"It's not true, he doesn't speak at all," his dad, Maher Suleiman, told Fox News 26.

Now that his family have been cleared of any terrorist activity, Mr Suleiman added his family went through "hell".

"The last three weeks, four weeks, have been the hardest of my life," he said.

"A few days ago, I told my family 'Okay, everything is fine'."

But although his ordeal is over, Mr Suleiman claims discrimination is at play.

"She claimed he was a terrorist," he added. "This is so stupid, it's discrimination. Actually, it's not implied discrimination. It's actual discrimination."

The Pearland Police Department confirmed they found no need for police involvement, but the Child Protective Services investigation remains open.

The Pearland Independent School district said it could not name the teacher who made the call due to privacy laws.
