Theodore and Walid Shoebat have uncovered some very interesting information about media darling Khizr Khan. They document his interest in Sharia law and one of the figures he credits for inspiring his work.
Khan’s fascination with Islamic Sharia stems from his life in Saudi Arabia. During the eighties Khan wrote a paper titled Juristic Classification of Islamic [Sharia] Law. In it he elucidated on the system of Sharia law expressing his reverence for “The Sunnah [the works of Muhammad] — authentic tradition of the Prophet Muhammad...
At the bottom of the page, Khan shows his appreciation for an icon of the Muslim Brotherhood: “The contribution to this article of S. Ramadan’s writing is greatly acknowledged.”
If this is the major figure who used that name, then we are talking about the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna and the father of Tariq Ramadan, a key Brotherhood transitional figure from overt Jihadist anti-Americanism to more subtle and deceitful rhetoric.
Said Ramadan was clever enough to court American support and to some degree he got it for his Islamist agenda. One might argue that Khizr Khan is following in his footsteps.
Yet the media has no interest in when their Muslim heroes and heroines cite highly disturbing figures. But they are ever alert to even a whiff of anything of the sort from Republicans.
Period US analysis described Ramadan as a fascist, but the left has no hesitation in making common cause with Islamofascists.
