No one thinks that members of this family are responsible for terrorism, but the reputation and the good name of their religion has been systematically defamed by terrorists. About that behavior the pious Khan family has nothing to say.<br /><br />Having a soldier son who was murdered by the actions of Muslim's isn't enough? What do you want them to say? Do you want them to condemn all Muslims and become atheists to protest against the insanity of using relatively minor religious differences as an excuse for mass murder?<br /><br />And there has been an effort to demonize those who use Islam to murder. It means choosing to not obsess on their religion but their behavior. <br /><br />For example, it means calling ISIS murders them a JV team, or Daesh or other dismissing names.<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant#Epithets<br />---<br />Un-Islamic Non-State is a term used by Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the United Nations, to describe ISIL. Similar statements have been made by Muslim groups in Britain. In remarks to the UN Security Council, Ban Ki-moon had said, "They should more fittingly be called the 'Un-Islamic Non-State'". He argued that "Muslim leaders around the world have said, groups like ISIL – or Daesh – have nothing to do with Islam, and they certainly do not represent a state."<br />---Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-10728616808163394502016-08-09T20:42:26.386-07:002016-08-09T20:42:26.386-07:00I would like to hear more from Muslims like this o...I would like to hear more from Muslims like this one.<br />http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2016/08/common-sense-from-a-british-muslim.php<br /><br />Amir Khan, a British fighter, is one of the world’s top welterweights. His trainer Tam Khan (no relation, I believe) recently took to Facebook to express his opinions on Britain’s Muslim turmoil. Through my son, I have more contact with the world of boxing than most people, and have come to view the fight scene as an oasis of sanity (with, of course, some exceptions). So I wasn’t surprised to see that Mr. Khan’s perspective is sensible. This was his Facebook post; click each segment to enlarge if necessary:<br />(I can't copy his post, but it should definitely be read in entirety).<br />* * *<br />Just because I was curious about the Muslim equivalent of "Smith" and "Jones" --<br />The surname Khan originates with the Mongolian khan. Used in the Rourans firstly, and later more widely by Islamic chieftains in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.<br />AesopFannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-30273872268426147022016-08-09T13:40:44.852-07:002016-08-09T13:40:44.852-07:00Ask Khan if Islamic law should be imposed in the U...Ask Khan if Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (by the will of Allah) in place of the U.S. Constitution. Why will no one ask this question? Honor killings are sanctioned under Islamic law, so they should be included in the body count.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
