The guy has nothing but high praise for a Pakistani minister who touts sharia law as being the only constitution for the world. Brohi believes in brutal punishments for any offense against sharia. He believes that men should retain the right to beat their wives when they don't behave the way they want. Khan supports this man and admires him a great deal. It is no different than a person admiring Hitler. Brohi is all about a world ruled by Islam and the fact that Khan is one of his biggest fans certainly reveals his own mindset.
He is a strange choice for Dems to invite to their convention considering his loyalty to a man who would impose severe penalties or death to women, gays and people who commit the most minor crimes. Either they approve of the man's radical views or they just chose the first Muslim gold parents they could find. Either way, it demonstrates an attempt to sway voters by dishonest means. It's all about appearance instead of substance. It's not unlike Hillary's fake story of a young girl in a wheelchair. I guess she counts on the fact that her supporters will accept anything the Dems put out there as gospel and won't ever question anything the left does. And when those who actually care about the truth do some fact checking, she will just attack them with the help of the liberal media.
"As Pakistani minister of law and religious affairs, Brohi helped create hundreds of jihadi incubators called madrassas and restored Sharia punishments, such as amputations for theft and demands that rape victims produce four male witnesses or face adultery charges. He also made insulting the Muslim prophet Muhammad a crime punishable by death. To speed the Islamization of Pakistan, he and Zia issued a law that required judges to consult mullahs on every judicial decision for Sharia compliance.
Khan, who says he immigrated to the U.S. in 1980 to escape Pakistan’s "military rule," nonetheless spoke admiringly of Brohi in his review of his speech. He praised his remarks even though Brohi advocated for the enforcement of the medieval Sharia punishments, known as "hudood" (singular "hadd"), that were later adopted and carried out with brutal efficiency by the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan.
"Divinely ordained punishments have to be inflicted," Brohi asserted, "and there is very little option for the judge called upon to impose Hadd, if facts and circumstances are established that the Hadd in question has been transgressed, to refuse to impose the punishment."
Of course, such cruel and unusual Sharia punishments, ranging from stonings and floggings to beheadings, would be a flagrant violation of the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Western society is built on individualism and secularism, concepts enshrined in the Constitution. But Brohi scoffs at them, arguing, "The individual has to be sacrificed. Collectivity has a special sanctity attached to it in Islam."
Brohi goes on to argue that human rights bestowed by Islam include the right of men to "beat" their wives.
"The best statement of the human rights is also to be found in the address delivered by the prophet [Muhammad] so often described as his last address," Brohi said, quoting: " ‘You have rights over your wives and they have rights over you. You have the right that they should not defile your bed and that they should not behave with open unseemliness. If they do, God allows you to put them in separate rooms and to beat them but not with severity.’ "
In his book review, Khan takes no issue with Brohi’s shocking interpretation of human rights. In fact, he claims Brohi "successfully" explains them and argues his points "convincingly." (The review, which lists Khan as "director" of an Islamic center in Houston, was published in the Texas International Law Journal.)
"The keynote speech of Dr. A.K. Brohi, former Pakistani minister of legal and religious affairs, is a hallmark in this book," Khan writes. "It successfully explains the Islamic concepts of ‘right’ and ‘just’ in comparison to their Christian and Judaic counterparts."
Adds Khan: "Brohi argues convincingly for the establishment of a moral value system before guarantees can be given for any kind of rights. To illustrate the point he notes, ‘There is no such thing as human right in the abstract.’"
In other words, Khan concurs that human rights can only be guaranteed through the establishment of Sharia’s moral and legal code.
Khan provides his own advocacy for Sharia law in a separate academic paper titled "Juristic Classification of Islamic Law," which he also wrote in 1983, while studying in Saudi Arabia.
"The invariable and basic rules of Islamic law are only those prescribed in the Shari’ah," Khan writes. "All other juridical works… must always be subordinated to the Shari’ah."
He explains that Sharia is derived from the Quran and Sunnah, and that the Quran "is the absolute authority from which springs the very conception of legality and every legal obligation."
Khan then notes that Quranic law includes "constitutional law.""
