Khizr Khan, the father of a Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq in
2004 — who lampooned Donald Trump at the Democratic National Convention
last week while holding a copy of the U.S. Constitution — has a history
of supporting the notion that Islamic Sharia law takes precedence over
the Constitution.
Khan attacked Trump for his proposed Muslim immigration ban and
questioned whether the nominee had even read the Constitution. Several
papers published by Khan, first discovered by Breitbart, found that Khan
has a long history of supporting Sharia law over “man-made” Western
law.
“The invariable and basic rules of Islamic law are only
those prescribed in the Shari’ah,” Khan wrote. “All other juridical
works … must always be subordinated to the Shari’ah.”
In a 1983 piece, Khan wrote a review for a book compiled from
speeches held at a “Human Rights In Islam” seminar in Kuwait, in which
he expressed his admiration for an address given by Allah K. Brohi. In
the address, Brohi said human rights include the right of men to “beat”
their wives if they act too “unseemly.” Brohi also advocated for Sharia
punishments including stonings, floggings, and beheadings.
