Khizr Khan, the Muslim who spoke at the DNC, has been a strong supporter and acknowledged expert of barbaric Islamic Sharia law doctrine

[Note: Updated March 7, 2020—  Kahn has responded to allegations of supporting Sharia law in the past but made deceptive claims in doing so.   See the end of this post for more information.]

Following is a summary of this Breitbart article:  

Khizr Muazzam Khan, the U.S. Constitution touting Muslim who spoke against Donald Trump at the Democratic National Convention has been revealed to be an acknowledged expert on Islamic Sharia Law.

Sharia law dictates that men have the right to beat their wives, punishment for theft is amputation, insulting Muhammad is a crime punishable by death, rape victims need to produce four male witnesses or face adultery charges themselves, and with punishments for other infractions ranging from stonings to floggings to beheadings.

In 1983, Khan wrote a glowing review of a book where he singled out for praise a pro-jihad Muslim jurist named Allah K. Brohi, who was one of the closest advisers to Zia ul-Haq, the father of the Taliban movement.   In the review, Khan spoke admirably of Brohi’s interpretation of human rights even though it included the right to kill and mutilate those who violate Islamic law and the right of men to beat their wives.   Khan never mentioned having any issues with Brohi’s interpretations of human rights, but instead wrote that Brohi “successfully” explains and argues his points “convincingly.”   Khan also concurred in his review that human rights can only be guaranteed through the establishment of Sharia law, saying “There is no such thing as human right in the abstract.”

Brohi was the Pakistani Minister of Law and Religious Affairs at the time, and he restored the enforcement of the full range of Sharia laws to that country.   Khan now claims to have immigrated to the U.S. in the 1980’s to “escape Pakistan’s Military Rule,” despite the fact that he spoke very admirably of Brohi in his review back then.

Khan also wrote another academic paper in 1983 entitled “Juristic Classification of Islamic Law,”  where he states that the Quran is the “absolute authority,” and that all other juridical works must always be subordinate to Sharia law.   His 13-page article was published in the Houston Journal of International Law and has been cited by dozens of Islamic law articles and has also been used in college syllabi for Islamic courses at least until 2013.

The Clinton campaign and establishment media portrait Khan as a “Pakistani-American Lawyer,” but of course they don’t mention Khan being an acknowledged expert on Sharia law.

There is no evidence that Khan has ever recanted his support for the anti-Constitional Sharia law, other than the fact that he waved a pocket constitution around during his speech at the DNC.

NOTE:  Khan has given a response to allegations that he has been a Sharia law supporter in the past, but in his response he does not deny what he has written about it but instead gives a vague and misleading description of what Sharia law is, and then states that he “does not stand for any Sharia law because there is no such thing.”

In this video clip from a CNN broadcast, Khan states:

“Sharia Law as we have titled it is no such thing as Sharia Law.   These are laws of various Muslim countries which are hodge podge of British laws, French laws, Portuguese Laws.   In there, there is tremendous discrimination of genders, which disqualifies them under the Constitution of the United States, cannot be implemented, cannot be brought.   How can I be a person that has read this, I preach that I do not stand for any Sharia law because there is no such thing.”

.. In the clip after video of Khan speaking, a host chimes in appearing to reiterate what Khan just said, but while doing so she injects a claim that Khan never actually made in his statement:  “.. he doesn’t stand for it, he never has stood for it, he carries around the US Constitution, he abides by the US Constitution.”   If Khan didn’t actually write about Sharia law in the past as being a strong supporter, it would have been the first thing he mentioned in his statement.

Sharia Law is already being implemented in Britain where it supersedes English law for Muslims, and many American Muslims support the idea of Sharia Law being implemented in the United States.
