Khizr Khan Believes the Constitution ‘Must Always Be Subordinated to the Sharia’

T. Belman. The real story here has nothing to do with Trump. Clinton/Obama are in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood. When people started to dig for info, Kahn scrubbed his profession site of all its content. Panic Mode: Khizr Khan Deletes Law Firm Website that Specialized in Muslim Immigration Clinton will probably lie and say she had no idea what he believes it. It is a hallmark of the Obama/Clinton administration to embrace the MB and introduce them to all departments of the US Administration and to positions of power in the ME.

By Paul Sperry, BREITBART

Notwithstanding his war-hero son’s genuinely patriotic example, Khizr M. Khan has published papers supporting the supremacy of Islamic law over “man-made” Western law — including the very Constitution he championed in his Democratic National Convention speech attacking GOP presidential nod Donald Trump.

In 1983, for example, Khan wrote a glowing review of a book compiled from a seminar held in Kuwait called “Human Rights In Islam” in which he singles out for praise the keynote address of fellow Pakistani Allah K. Brohi, a pro-jihad Islamic jurist who was one of the closest advisers to late Pakistani dictator Gen. Zia ul-Haq, the father of the Taliban movement.

Khan speaks admiringly of Brohi’s interpretation of human rights, even though it included the right to kill and mutilate those who violate Islamic laws and even the right of men to “beat” wives who act “unseemly.”

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.”

“Family law is laid down in 70 injunctions; civil law in another 70; penal law in 30; jurisdiction and procedure in 13; constitutional law in 10; international relations in 25; and economic and financial order in 10,” he said.

Khan defers to an early Islamic jurist who ruled: “For every issue concerning a Muslim, either there is a binding text (of the Shariah) that rules it, or there is a guidance that may indicate the way to truth. If there is a text, then the Muslim has to follow it.”

A devout Muslim, Khan also cites two radical Muslim Brotherhood figures as scholarly sources — Said Ramadan and Muhammad Hamidullah.

Though described by the Clinton camp and media as a “Pakistani-American lawyer,” less known is Khan’s an acknowledged expert on Sharia law doctrine. His 13-page article, which was published in the Houston Journal of International Law, has been cited in dozens of Islamic law articles and has been used in college syllabi for Islamic law courses as recently as 2013.

By comparison, his expertise in American constitutional law is barely evident. In fact, there appears to be few if any legal citations in federal or state court records for Khan, who describes himself on his business website (removed Tuesday from the Internet) as “attorney at law.”

Even so, Khan questioned Trump’s understanding of the Constitution, calling him “ignorant” and suggesting that if he had studied it he would never propose imposing a temporary ban on Muslim immigration to protect the nation from ISIS and other terrorist infiltrators.

“Let me ask you: have you even read the United States Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy,” a visibly angry Khan bellowed, while waving a pamphlet version in the air.

It’s not immediately clear if Khan has ever repudiated his earlier support for the anti-Constitutional principles of Sharia law. Searches turn up no subsequent writings or statements to that effect. Attempts to reach Khan by phone and email were unsuccessful.

For now, the most patriotic Muslim in America, according to media myth-making, remains Khizr Muazzam Khan, the father of a fallen American soldier who claims to hold the Constitution so dear he keeps a copy in his breast pocket.

But what does he really believe? His Islamist writings offer a window into his ideological thinking — and the view is a contradictory and highly disturbing one, especially in light of the fanfare he has received.

  1. A MUST READ: Here is the clincher tying Clinton, Khan, MB, sharia together, how the clintons benefit from promoting muslims, sharia, muslim infrastructure, etc. globally

    Bill Clinton Got Millions From World’s Biggest Sharia Law Education Firm

    Why would Bill Clinton be participating in programs that teach Sharia in foreign countries where that is the specific objective of the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS and al-Qaeda,” asked counter-terror analyst Stephen Coughlin in an interview with TheDCNF.

    Former President Bill Clinton collected $5.6 million in fees from GEMS Education, a Dubai-based company that teaches Sharia Law through its network of more than 100 schools in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.

    The company’s finances strictly adhere to “Sharia Finance,” which includes giving “zakat,” a religious tax of which one-eighth of the proceeds is dedicated to funding Islamic jihad.

    The company also contributed millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation.

    Outside of the Middle East and North Africa, GEMS operates schools in Kenya, Uganda, Southeast Asia, and the United Kingdom.

    GEMS even has two “international” schools in Chicago.

    the clintons sell the immigrant visas through khan and lovell… the GEM schools and likely many other muslim institutions, are used to qualify the muslims immigrants as investors. The investments are funded by the muslim nations and orgs, primarily wahabbi saudi. Therefore the clintons and khan are not only selling the visas but are collaborating in the building of the muslim infrastructure in the USA and globally… they benefit directly from the teaching of sharia and the growth of sharia educational networks.
    this fraud and network are likely much larger and likely involving others like Obama, who have strong connections with saudis and other muslim nations.. and probably involves a lot more than just this school system. this is the tip of a dangerous iceberg which conceals espionage and sabotage of the USA by muslim stooges in our gov and institution

    The former president served as honorary chairman for GEMS Education from 2011 to 2014, according to federal tax returns he filed with his wife, 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

    The clintons and the muslim USA network are a dangerous and treasonous lot and the establishment GOP appears to be ignorant, mute…. or perhaps complicit and participatory in the scheme. Basically, they have created the trojan horse already.

    If Trump had not questioned Khans credibility we would all still be in the dark on this massive network. the GOP need to take this up not for the election but to bring down this treasonous espionage and sabotage network.

    (fantastic investigatory journalism by Richard Pollock, bigger in potential than watergate and much more damaging to our nation, but will folks even notice what is really happening here, all uncovered due to Khan)

  2. HIZR KHAN FOUNDED ISLAMIC JOURNAL TO DEFEND SHARIA LAW
    Khan defends Sharia law responsible for the executions of gays and women in 11 countries

    http://www.infowars.com/what-the-media-isnt-reporting-about-khizr-khan/

    the slimy fraud gets bigger than life… “the sleazy and dishonest press” colluded in the fraud…. the sleazy establishment GOP seeking TPP enabled and facilitated the fraud…. the democratic party fabricated the fraud.

    the clinton, khan, Lovell selling of US immigrant visas is a serious crime that no one mentions.
    The so called investments used to fraudulently claim those visas should be investigated also. Mosques and muslim institutions are not acceptable investments for US immigrant visas.
    those are the important issues to arise from the khan fraud and not the red herring they intended.

  3. THE WRATH OF KHAN
    http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2016-08-03.html

    the first big myth is that Trump did something wrong by questioning the credentials and accusations of the fraud Khan.
    The second myth is that the fraud khan was an isolated victim rather than a connected clinton, saudi, muslim brotherhood, immigrant visa selling, want to fill the USA with muslims.. sort of guy.
    the third myth is that the death of a single soldier, muslim or otherwise, should determine national security issues and safety of American citizens, as suggested by the democrats.
    the fourth big myth is that muslim daddy khans son should get more attention than those murdered by muslims in benghazi and other muslims in the US army.
    The fifth big myth is that we should be talking about one muslim soldier who died as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of american soldiers who died.

  4. lsatenstein Said:

    Mr. Khan was on CNN yesterday, and did respond to the Questions about Sharia.

    😛 😛 😛 😛
    khan appeared on Clinton News Network and employed his sharia mandated taqiyya to deceive americans…. there… FIFY
    lsatenstein Said:

    He explained that Sharia is a collection of haphazard laws from various countries that don’t fit together, and that there is nothing therein that is on an equal to the law of the land.

    gosh, thank you to the Clinton’s immigrant visa selling muslim boo hoo daddy for clearing up that misunderstanding…LOLROFLMAO….. everyone knows that under Islam and sharia there is ABSOLUTELY no other “law of the land” allowed if you want to keep your head on your shoulders. So, why do you come here to spread obvious lies…. what’s your real purpose… taqiyya ? I wonder about you because I do not believe you are as massively ignorant as you pretend to be.
    are you playing Columbo to fool us?

  5. Key Tenets of Sharia

    The following are some of the most important—and, particularly for Western non-Muslims, deeply problematic—tenets of sharia, arranged in alphabetical order. The citations for these findings are drawn from the Koran, schools of Islam and other recognized sources are offered as illustrative examples of the basis for such practices under sharia.

    1. Abrogation (‘Al-mansukh wa al-nasikh’ in Arabic—the abrogated and the abrogating): Verses that come later in the Koran, chronologically, supersede, or abrogate, the earlier ones. In effect, this results in the more moderate verses of the Meccan period being abrogated by the later, violent, Medinan period.

    2. Adultery (‘Zina’ in Arabic): Unlawful intercourse is a capital crime under sharia, punishable by lashing and stoning to death.

    3. Apostasy (‘Irtidad’ or ‘Ridda’ in Arabic): The established ruling of sharia is that apostates are to be killed wherever they may be found.

    4. Democracy & Islam: Any system of man-made law is considered illicit under Islamic law, for whose adherents Allah already has provided the only law permitted, sharia. Islam and democracy can never co-exist in harmony.

    5. Female Genital Mutilation.

    6. Gender Inequality: Sharia explicitly relegates women to a status inferior to men.

    • Testimony of a woman before a judge is worth half that of a man.

    • Women are to receive just one half the inheritance of a male.

    • Muslim men are given permission by Allah in the Koran to beat their wives.

    • Muslim men are given permission by Allah to commit marital rape, as they please.

    • Muslim men are permitted to marry up to four wives and to keep concubines in any number.

    • Muslim women may marry only one Muslim man and are forbidden from marrying a non-Muslim.

    • A woman may not travel outside the home without the permission of her male guardian and must be accompanied by a male family member if she does so.

    • Under sharia, to bring a claim of rape, a Muslim woman must present four male Muslim witnesses in good standing. Islam thus places the burden of avoiding illicit sexual encounters entirely on the woman. In effect, under sharia, women who bring a claim of rape without being able to produce the requisite four male Muslim witnesses are admitting to having had illicit sex. If she or the man is married, this amounts to an admission of adultery.

    Rape is a felony under U.S. law, but under Sharia Law it is not. It is akin to damaging something (the woman’s virginity), so the penalty is the usual cost of what was damaged – typically, $400 and up. There would be no jail time for rape, unless the man didn’t pay for the damages.

    • A Muslim woman who divorces and remarries loses custody of children from a prior marriage.

    7. ‘Honor’ Killing (a.k.a. Muslim family executions): A Muslim parent faces no legal penalty under Islamic law for killing his child or grandchild.

    8. Hudud Punishments: The plural of hadd, is “a fixed penalty prescribed as a right of Allah. Because hudud penalties belong to Allah, Islamic law does not permit them to be waived or commuted.”

    • “Sharia stipulates these punishments and methods of execution such as amputation, crucifixion, flogging, and stoning, for offenses such as adultery, homosexuality, killing without right, theft, and ‘spreading mischief in the land’ because these punishments were mandated by the Qur’an or Sunnah.” (Islamic Hudood Laws in Pakistan, Edn 1996, 5.)

    9. Islamic Supremacism: belief that Islam is superior to every other culture, faith, government, and society and that it is ordained by Allah to conquer and dominate them.

    10. Jew Hatred: Anti-Semitism is intrinsic to sharia and is based on the genocidal behavior of Mohammed himself in wiping out the entire Jewish population of the Arabian Peninsula.

    11. Jihad: Jihad is warfare to spread Islam.

    12. Lying/Taqiyya: It is permissible for a Muslim to lie, especially to non-Muslims, to safeguard himself personally or to protect Islam.

    13. Slander/Blasphemy: In sharia, slander means anything that might offend a Muslim.

    14. Underage Marriage: Islamic doctrine permits the marriage of pre-pubescent girls. There is no minimum age for a marriage contract and consummation may take place when the girl is age eight or nine.

    15. Zakat: the obligation for Muslims to pay zakat arises out of Koran Verse 9:60 and is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Zakat may be given only to Muslims, never to non-Muslims. What amounts to a mandatory tax is required to be given to those engaged in jihad which is among the authorized recipients.

    • According to sharia, there are eight categories of recipients for Zakat: The poor; Those short of money; Zakat workers (those whose job it is to collect the zakat); Those whose hearts are to be reconciled; Those purchasing their freedom; Those in debt; Those fighting for Allah (Jihad); Travelers needing money (‘Umdat al-Salik, h8.7-h8.18)

    • “It is not permissible to give Zakat to a non-Muslim.” (‘Umdat al-Salik, h8.24)

    Following is a very small sample of Sharia Law teachings dictating “how Muslim men deal with their spouses”?

    “Good women are obedient….As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34?

    Circumcision is obligatory “The Reliance of the Traveller, a respected manual of Shafi’i jurisprudence, states “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the clitoris” – ‘Umdat al-Salik e4.3

    “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning.” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.46

    “By him in Whose Hand lies my life, a woman can not carry out the right of her Lord, till she carries out the right of her husband. And if he asks her to surrender herself [to him for sexual intercourse] she should not refuse him even if she is on a camel’s saddle.” — Ibn Majah 1854

  6. Sharia is not compatible with the rule of law in a democratic country. Isatenstein I know you are dedicated Democratic Party Member but research Sharia do not blindly follow everything a Democratic Media or Person says it makes you sound ignorant at best. For example kindly read the following and tell me if you still approve of Sharia Law. Also read the link for the whole article to get even a fuller idea of how incompatible and horrid Sharia Law is.

    It is difficult to envisage the compatibility of alternative legal systems with the law in democratic societies, particularly with an Islamic legal system that calls for the death penalty for apostasy, sexual “crimes” of women including adultery, and homosexuality. Women are handicapped on issues of marriage, divorce, inheritance, and child custody. A Muslim man is permitted to have four wives and can divorce one of them with ease, but women must follow a difficult path to obtain a divorce. At the worst,women can be stoned to death for sex outside marriage. Judgment in criminal cases can be harsh; thieves may be punished by amputation. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/2869/sharia-law-democracy

  7. @ lsatenstein:
    I allowed this comment to be posted, not because you are right but because you are totally wrong. And so is Kahn and he knows it.

    Sharia trumps the constitution and the law of the land. The Muslim Brotherhood, in which Kahn is a member, is dedicated to replacing the law of the land with Sharia.

  8. Diana West: DNC ‘Put a Sharia Supremacist on Convention Center Stage’
    http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/08/03/diana-west-dnc-put-sharia-supremacist-convention-center-stage/

    LOL, Trump cant help being right…. if Trump hadnt taken the bait we would have been suckered into believing the dem muslim daddy boo hoo story but it turns out that the muslim boo hoo daddy was working with the clintons and Lovell lawyers in a scam to sell immigrant visas to muslims and was connected to the saudis and the MB.
    The dems will throw every irrelevant story to the dumb american voter to create a distraction but the distraction exposed a major scandal.

    I like trumps non nonsense insults because most of those getting the insults are hypocritical frauds who deserve the insults and should be in jail or run out of town. I want the liars crudely exposed as low life POS. tens of thousands of american soldiers died in battle but we have to hear about the one muslim in a tear jerker. If the americans and jews buy that BS then they deserve to be screwed by hillary and the gop establishment . If Trump loses it will be because the lying POS GOP establishment have drawn all their guns to shoot down trump even after lying about supporting him. Mordoch says he supports trump and then runs 2 days repeat photos of melania naked… Ryan and Mccain are 2 creepy hyena opportunists who hoped to jump on a trump carcass. Its up to republicans to vote out the establishment and demand of their reps tto support trump.

    Everyone gives trump advice and tells him what to do but he got this far by being who he is and doing it his way…. kowtowing to hypocrites and liars is not trumps style… he fights back… unlike the bullshitting mealy mouth GOP who rubber stamp Obama. The dems have nothing to say about trump except to twist his statements into lies and bitch about his crude style… all superficial rubbish. In fact, their hitting at his style proves they have nothing to say.

    It turns out that the muslim boo hoo daddy trotted out by the dems is actually a lying POS supporting sharia, using taqiyya and selling US visas. Once more the dems have made muslim boo hoo more important than american lives.

    I am even more pissed off with the dems and the GOP not because I love trump but becuase they have proven to be total frauds and liars in how they have dealt with Trump. I prefer his styple to their style of being fakes. Israel has suffered immensely at the hands of all those liars and Israel, unlike trump, is afraid to say that:
    “JEWISH SETTLEMENT IN JUDEA SAMARIA IS LEGAL AND LEGITIMATE”
    Israel needs a lesson from trump, he has learned that kowtowing to the liars game gets nowhere good.

  9. The above is absolutely spreading false information. Mr. Khan was on CNN yesterday, and did respond to the Questions about Sharia. He explained that Sharia is a collection of haphazard laws from various countries that don’t fit together, and that there is nothing therein that is on an equal to the law of the land.

  10. Whether this guy Khan is Muslim Brotherhood or ISIS will not matter to what really counts. Trump walked into a trap the DEMS set for him. He started attacking a “Gold Star Family”. The vast majority of the USA media wants something to pounce on Trump for and he handed to them over and over.

    I know the people who believe Trump can do no wrong will not agree and ………much more.

    This has hurt Trump. If the election is about him and his personality or knowledge or temperament he will lose.

    He needs to make it about his economy will get more Americans and not foreigners jobs. He needs to make it about security for Americans.

    He needs show why he is better than Lyin Hillary on these items.

    If the election is about his strengths and how bad Hillary is, Trump will have a shot. If it is about him he will lose and perhaps get killed in the electoral college.
