Coyote Khan is a hard line sharia freak. Trump going after him is a good thing.
No, he isn't. Not at all. That's the problem with all this. It's , conspiracy theory, and deliberate disinformation. There are plenty of "hardline sharia freaks" around the world if one want's to attack them. The attacks against Kahn have been largely debunked, but that doesn't matter to Trump supporters.
I respect you Coyote. But I have to respectfully disagree. I know a hardliner when I see them. Khan exemplifies everything I hate about hardline Islamists that wear a suit and tie instead of black robes throwing gays off of buildings.
Now nothing about Khan has been debunked. Going to town now (takes an hour one way) but I'll pop back in when I get back so I can see if you tell me the myths about Khan and how they have been debunked.
Looking forward to seeing what you post. Because I am loaded for bear about Khan. Mr. Sharia to the Max Khan.
He's a patriot, a man who loves his adopted country and it's constitution, and a man who immigrated from a country where those freedoms are non-existent. He had to courage to stand up to Trump's rhetoric and as a result, is now the target of a dedicated smear campaign.
"We're in the political process of the greatest democracy on the planet Earth," Khan said on PBS NewsHour, adding that criticism of a presidential candidate's policies is "part of the political process."
"I'm exercising my rights for freedom of speech," Khan said.
Khan added that he pulled out a copy of the Constitution from his pocket during his convention speech, in part, to "show [Trump] that we are all equal under the eyes of our creator and this country."
In fact, Khan said, he keeps a stack of pocket-sized Constitutions at his home to give to guests and to strike up conversation.
Many claims against him
came from Shoebat, a conspiracy theorist and well known Islamophobe,
It’s also the product of the fevered imagination of Theodore “Shoebat,” the pseudonymous conspiracy theorist and Islamophobe who has made a career of spreading nonsense. That is, when he’s not calling himself a “proud fascist.” His dad and fellow conspiracy-monger, Walid, isn’t much better. He swears that Zika is a punishment from God, and likens homosexuality to cannibalism.
Trump and his team have long leaned heavily on conspiracy theorists and online bullshit artists for many of their most memorable moments. Trump suggested that Ted Cruz’s father was part of the plot to kill JFK. (Wrong.) He claimed that large numbers of American Muslims openly cheered fall of the Twin Towers, when no evidence for such celebrations exist. And then there’s the whole birther thing.
But suggesting that the father of a fallen U.S. soldier is secretly an enemy of America—that’s new. Thank Walid and Ted Shoebat for that.
...The deeply incriminating information about Khizr Khan apparently stems from an academic article he wrote about Islamic Law. Because Khan cited a Muslim Brotherhood leader as an important source for his article, the Shoebats accused him of being the organization’s acolyte in a blog post published on Sunday.
“Khan wrote [the paper] in the eighties while he was in Saudi Arabia, the motherland of Wahhabism. This would never be possible unless Khan clearly had the support of the Saudi Wahhabist religious institution,” the Shoebats concluded.
In Egypt, the Brotherhood’s birthplace, however, it often competes with Wahhabist parties in elections.
Khan runs a law office that provides immigration services. Thus, “Most likely Khan was working to bring Muslims into the county,” the Shoebats conclude.
They fail to mention that Khan, the proud father of a servicemember who died a hero, boasts proudly about providing pro bono legal services for U.S. military families, right there on his homepage.
...and Shoebats claims have been debunked by Snopes and other sources:
Khizr Khan Is a Muslim Brotherhood Agent?
I listened to his interview, he was very well spoken, very emotional...a good man who doesn't deserve to be ripped to shreds like this.
