. @ RogerJStoneJr Calling Khizr Khan a jihadi bc he works on Islamic law is like calling a German lawyer a Nazi bc she works on German law
There’s a New Theory on Why Khizr Khan Blasted Trump at the DNC — And It’s Being Labeled ‘Repulsive’
Khizr and Ghazala Khan took the stage at the DNC on Thursday to commemorate their son, Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who died in combat in 2004.
The two have since sparred with Donald Trump, who has done the following:
- Insinuated Ghazala remained silent on stage because she’s a Muslim woman
- Said Khizr had “no right” to criticize Trump over immigration
- Called Humayun a hero , but said the “real” issue is Islamic extremism
Now a new story is throwing gasoline on the fire, and it’s by a pair of writers who opened their story with:

“Trump we have your back.”
The claim? Khizr Khan is an agent of the Muslim Brotherhood, the group founded in Egypt in the 1920s which has demonstrated connections to terrorist activity.
Longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone was quick to tweet it out, labeling Khan a “Muslim Brotherhood agent helping Hillary.”:
He got some hot reactions:
@ RogerJStoneJr This from the schmuck who spent 2013-14 trying to peddle his book accusing LBJ of assassinating JFK.
@ RogerJStoneJr @ walidshoebat
You are a liar, you'll offer ZERO proof to substantiate these claims, & your ignorant followers w believe you
Radio host Michael Savage also shared it:

In a since-deleted tweet , syndicated columnist Cal Thomas wrote: “There is always more to a story than the initial report”:

@ CalThomas You're attacking dad of a US troop killed in combat b/c *studied* Islamic law. Liar or delusional to draw that conclusion.
The story , written by conservative bloggers Theodore Shoebat and Walid Shoebat, uses a series of tenuous connections to paint the following picture, summarized below:
- Khizr Khan wrote a paper on Sharia
- In that paper, he cited Said Ramadan, a Muslim Brotherhood icon
- Khan lived in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, “hotbeds” for the MB
- Khan is now an immigration lawyer in New York
- The firm Khan used to work for has ties to the Clinton Foundation
- Huma Abedin has ties to the Clinton Foundation
- Abedin’s family had ties to someone who preached that Muslims should infiltrate Western militaries
- Therefore, Khan’s son might have had an “Islamist mission”
- Judging by the names listed in the story, Shoebat is suggesting Khan’s mission would have been to kill his fellow U.S. soldiers
Here are three more stories from the Shoebat blog: 
For a fiery rebuttal, read Charles Johnson at the Little Green Footballs blog.
Many have countered these accusations with the fact that Captain Khan died a heroic death to save members of his unit:
Captain Humayun S. M. Khan, 27, of Bristow, Virginia, died June 8, 2004, in Baquabah, Iraq, after a vehicle packed with an improvised explosive device drove into the gate of his compound while he was inspecting soldiers on guard duty. Khan was assigned to Headquarters, Headquarters Company, 201st Forward Support Battalion, 1st Infantry Division, Vilseck, Germany.
As noted in Hillary Clinton’s introduction of him at the DNC:
“Captain Khan told his troops to get back, but he went forward. He took 10 steps toward the car,” said Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in a video introducing Khan’s father, Khizr Khan’s, convention speech. The car exploded, killing Humayun Khan, but the rest of the troops were saved because he stepped forward, said Clinton.
Khan is buried at Arlington Cemetery:
Captain Kahn's grave at Arlington Cemetery. RIP and thank you, sir. (Please RT) # KhizrKhan # GhazalaKahn
The Khan family has gone to considerable lengths to denounce Muslims who engage in terror. As Vocativ recounts from a 2015 interview with Khan:
When asked about the recent bloodshed in San Bernardino and other attacks, like the 2009 massacre at Fort Hood, where Nidal Hasan, a veteran, killed 13 people in the name of radical Islam, Khan remembers a conversation with his other son. Shaharyar Khan, the brother of the late Humayun, told his father that Muslim communities share in the responsibility for rooting out extremism.
“This is the time for us American Muslims to rat out any traitor who walks amongst us. This is high time for Muslims to stand firm [against terrorists],” the elder Khan recounted. “Among us hides the enemies of the value system of this country. And we need to defend it. And if it means ratting out the traitors who hide behind an American passport, that’s what we need to do.”
In his public statements, Khan has also denounced terrorism as incompatible with Islam:
“We are faithful, patriotic, undivided loyalty to this country. We reject all terrorism.”
Trump’s position on the Khan family has been met with considerable critique from conservatives and Republicans, but he does have his defenders.
It will be interesting to see how people sort out on this new story.

This article fleshes the story out more than the other one does.
Still no one defending the specifics of Shoebat's allegations.
“Captain Khan told his troops to get back, but he went forward. He took 10 steps toward the car,”
The old double agent martyr trick! Discretely blows himself up in an elaborate long con to deepen Sharia tentacles into the US government. Sneaky.
John - this constant bullsh*t of flooding the FP with your mania has gone past the pathetic side.
Why don't you get a real life and learn some things about what life is really about???
I think you should hang up your keyboard 1st. You have completely lost it..
