“Kahn claims that he was deemed such a threat because jailers believe the Quran is a violent book and because Kahn had used religious expressions that ‘alarmed’ jail staff. He wrote that his first amendment rights to freedom of speech and religion are being violated.”
The Qur’an is is a violent book, calling on Muslims to “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, 9:5), “strike the necks” of the unbelievers (47:4), beat disobedient women (4:34), etc. And if Khan had “alarmed” jail staff with his “religious expressions,” they are only prudent to take precautions. “His first amendment rights to freedom of speech and religion are being violated”? At some point, sooner or later, Americans are going to have to decide whether one’s “first amendment rights to freedom of speech and religion” are licenses to break other existing laws.
“Casper doctor alleges jail is violating his religious rights,” by Shane Sanderson, Casper Star-Tribune, October 20, 2017:
A former Casper doctor who is being held in a Nebraska jail on drug conspiracy charges has submitted a handwritten court filing alleging jailers are violating his constitutional right to practice his religion.
In federal court documents filed earlier this month, Shakeel A. Kahn claims that he was placed and remains in solitary confinement for practicing Islam. Kahn asked the federal judge presiding over the case to order jail staff “to cease their religious persecution and restore all rights and freedoms to all Muslims.”
Kahn is being held at the Scotts Bluff County Detention Center in Gering, Nebraska.
The prosecution has not yet filed a response to Kahn’s claims relating to his right to practice his religion. Jail director Joseph Gaul declined to comment Friday. He said he may have more information on Monday.
Kahn also filed two additional documents on the same day. One asks to have more freedom to contact his wife, Lyn Kahn, who is also a defendant in the case. The second asks for dismissal of one of the 23 charges he faces in the case.
The prosecution filed responses this week asking that those two requests be denied.
In his complaint on religious grounds, Kahn also claims that his requests for Halal meals were ignored for three weeks, during which he subsisted on bread and water alone. He wrote that he lost 13 pounds during that time period and wrote that “such treatment smacks of torture.”
Kahn wrote that he has been in solitary confinement since July 24. He attached paperwork signed by the jail director that indicates Kahn was placed in solitary confinement as the result of a “safety and security threat.”
Kahn claims that he was deemed such a threat because jailers believe the Quran is a violent book and because Kahn had used religious expressions that “alarmed” jail staff. He wrote that his first amendment rights to freedom of speech and religion are being violated.
Kahn also wrote that he has recently been disallowed from showering before his evening prayer, which he says is required to practice his faith. He argued the lack of access to evening showers is a show of “pure hate.”…

These mooslims are just so funny with their “WE ARE THE VICTIMS!…WE ARE THE NEW JEWS!” BS rhetoric and legal system jihad stunts.
Pretty ironic in that I can’t find that bit about showering as part of their pagan ritual of wudu. Give the b*stard a bucket of water, or, better yet, make him use his toilet.
Enough with these freaks.

He is a threat. All Islamics are a threat due what the government of Islam instructs its citizens to do to force Islam on the world.
Axis porcinus says
We must realise that there are exceptions to “rules”. Religious freedom in the west must now make an example of islam and exclude it from the definition of a “religion” if we want to live as free people.
Donald R Laster Jr says
This is why people need to look at what Islam really is – a theocracy. That is a government with the a religion component. Islam is a 1400 year old plus government with a set of civil laws, called Shar’iah law, that instructs what its citizens are obligated to do to force Islam on the world. Once people understand the difference what Islamics are doing makes perfect since since the citizens of Islam are part of an invading army.
Terry Gain says
Islam is not a legitimate religion. One of the few truths uttered by Hussen Obama is that no religion condones killing. Since Islam not only condones but commands the killing of infidels, Islam is not a legitimate religion. Allah more closely resembles Satan than God. What kind of God would choose a sociopath as his prophet?
Donald R Laster Jr says
Islam is not a religion. That is one of the lies Islam uses to get a foothold into countries it invades. It is a theocracy and when one looks past the curtain of lies to Islam’s history and founding it is clearly a government – in this case a theocracy.
No Fear says
During history religion has generally not been seen as a type of “self help that makes me a better person”. Only in recent times has “religion” become a synonym for “self help that makes me a better person”. The Kali cult, Aztecs, Druids, ancient Chinese all sacrificed humans to gods…..sacrificing people to hungry gods hardly makes for a “better person” does it …….fortunately humans seem to have moved on from that sort of thing. Nowadays religion is seen as “self help”.
gravenimage says
Yes–there have been evil religions before.
It is just that most faiths are benevolent–or at least neutral–today. Only Islam is evil.
Susan Hill says
But people object to Islam that have no problem with Buddhism, atheism, Taoism, Judaism, or any other belief system on the planet. For it is only Islam that murders those who will not join them. That tries to force its evil ways upon others.

What if your religion requires animal sacrifice? Should you be given live chickens and a knife?

“What if your religion requires animal sacrifice? Should you be given live chickens and a knife?”
Well of course, if we are stupid enough to allow, across the board, freedom to practice the respective tenets of that “religion,” irrespective of precisely what the tenets of one’s alleged faith may be,

“At some point, sooner or later, Americans are going to have to decide whether one’s “first amendment rights to freedom of speech and religion” are licenses to break other existing laws.”
Yep, that day is coming. Whether we decide that the Constitution really is a suicide pact does in fact hang in the balance.
Americans are gonna have to face that really uncomfortable question – Are all religions/cultures equally valid? – and they’re gonna have to answer it.
Gulp!
BTW, that is one ugly dude.
Debi Brand says
“Americans are gonna have to face that really uncomfortable question – Are all religions/cultures equally valid? – and they’re gonna have to answer it.”
Please, no, not that question.
Can’t we just call Islam good, great, noble and peaceful and go with that? Knowing, by so doing, we can all–our troops abroad, our citizens at home–can, and will, no doubt, all sleep better, rest easy, at night.
LeftisruiningCanada says
The constitution was crafted with one religion in mind, one that leads people to restrain their evil. islam teaches the opposite. It is islam that is not compatible with the constitution and America, not the constitution which is incompatible with America.
carol says
@LeftisRuiningCanada…That is the unspoken premise to be sure. So why should Judeo-Christian countries fail to update the contemporary meaning of RELIGION and instead lend IMPLICIT CREDENCE to a gravely ill, overweening cult that is self-serving, malignant, racist, and produces disciples through coercion? WHO is REALLY that stupid??
As Dr. Warner would say “RELIGION is the STEALTH-COATING of Islam”
Any fool can read and see what we’re dealing with and well-behaved Islamic “placeholders” don’t really count beyond their function in the service of stealth jihad.
Donald R Laster Jr says
That is why people need to learn that Islam is a 1400 year old government that is waging war against anyone whom it does not control. While it has a religious component, it is a theocracy after all, it is not a religion. The claim of being a religion is simply a tool to aid in its invasion of countries that are stronger than it is. No Islamic has fealty to a non-Islamic controlled country.
gravenimage says
Islam is a religion, all right–it is just an *evil* religion.
Donald R Laster Jr says
When one looks at all of Islam one will find it is not a religion. It is a theocracy. That is a government with a religion component. Shar’iah law is the civil law of a government and Mohammad created a government to impose the worship of Hubal the moon god on people. The claim of being a religion is used to aid in the invasion of countries by the citizens of Islam. It is just one of the lies Islam, its rulers, and its citizens, use to advance Islam’s occupation of the world.
Debi Brand says
“WHO is REALLY that stupid??”
Answer: All nations that render to Islam and those who live by that guidance freedom to practice that guidance in their respective nations.

The most fundamental right is the right to LIFE: there cannot be any right to oppress, enslave, or kill another man, i.e., freedom of religion is only SECONDARY right and pertain to the requirement of being left alone (worship whatever one’s like) without INITIATION of force and thus violating the right to life of another (person). Since we, non-believers, have serious concerns with Islam and their interpretation of rights (to whom rights should apply), it is time to say clearly to them: your freedom of religion does NOT supersede my fundamental right to LIFE. If you violate that right, you can’t claim protection of any rights whatsoever and that I (or rather our government, acting as my agent) have all right to violate your “freedom of religion” in RETALIATION of you using FORCE to violate MY right to life.

LeftisruiningCanada says
” Kahn also claims that his requests for Halal meals were ignored for three weeks, during which he subsisted on bread and water alone. He wrote that he lost 13 pounds during that time period and wrote that “such treatment smacks of torture.””
When will these people get tired of lying? Nowhere is it said ti be mandatory to eat halal. There are numerous provisions for muslims not able to eat halal food mentioned in hadith after hadith.
It’s simply another way for these captured POWs to both call us ignorant (as if we didnt know their laws) and attempt to play our own generous sensibilities against us.
The socialists that are in positions of power are trying to out “turn the other cheek” the Christians they so despise , and, as usual, are showing how little they understand the meaning of that, and other, teachings of Christ. Their efforts at hubris are ruining our world.

Per Islamic law, any fresh caught fish is Halal.

UNCLE VLADDI says
The Qur’an is a clearly-written hate-crime expressing a permanent death-threat: it tells it’s moslem mind-slaves that they are in fact SO “superior” to all the non-members of their war and plunder cult, that it’s not only their right, but also their holy duty to their god, to extort, enslave, and murder all the non-moslems in the world, simply for the “crime” of not being moslems!
Both inciting offensive violence (aka hate-crimes) and death-threats are illegal.
Pretending that the global crime-gang called islam is a “race” of poor swarthy animal-people, oppressed by the mentally superior whites, in order to slander everyone who notices it’s a crime-gang as a hatefully bigoted “racist” – is to deliberately enable that crime-gang’s crimes by hiding and destroying the evidence of same, and thus to be a willing accessory to those crimes. Since islam is a murder-gang, and the penalty for committing and enabling the commission of murder is DEATH, anyone and everyone who calls an opponent of muslims, islam, and their global jihad, a “racist!” should be lawfully put to death.
Everyone who defends islam and muslims endorses crime.
Endorsing crime IS a crime, so those doing it are criminals.
Right in the Qur’an is: the obligation to murder Jews and Christians (Surah 9:29), to terrorize all non-Muslims (8:12), to rape young girls (65:4), to enslave people for sex (4:3), to lie about one’s true goals (3:54), and the command to make war on all the infidels (9:123) and subjugate the entire world to Allah (9:33).
Are death-threats legal? NO.
Is extortion legal? NO.
Is slavery legal? NO.
Is murder legal? NO.
Is rape legal? NO.
THEN ISLAM IS ILLEGAL!
Rape, slavery, robbery, extortion and murder are never OK!
Everything muslims pretend to see as “holy” is already a crime!
So nobody has a legal right to practice islam anywhere on earth!
IN TRYING TO MAKE CRITICISM OF THE GLOBAL CRIME GANG CALLED “ISLAM” INTO A CRIME, TO PROTECT THAT CRIME GANG BY HIDING THE EVIDENCE OF ITS CRIMES, SUCH PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS AND TRAITORS TO RATIONALITY, CIVILIZATION, AND HUMANITY ITSELF.
But hadn’t you heard?! Being angry at (“hateful” towards) criminals is now the most vile sin, while pitying (“tolerating”) them all as “fellow victims,” is to be deemed the highest moral virtue, these days!
So much so, that the only advice we hear from “our” governments, their pet media, and the corporazi globalist banksters who own them all, seems to invariably be:
“Anyone who doesn’t automatically pity all criminals as fellow victims should be hated!”
John Forbes says
AS LONG AS WESTERNERS DO ACTUALLY WAKE UP TO THE LIES OF ISLAM & FINALLY DEMAND THAT THE COWARDS IN POWER FACE THE THREAT OF ISLAM THERE IS A CHANCE OF TURNING THIS MULTICULTURAL DISASTER AROUND & ENDING THE HORRIBLE IDEOLOGY OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS THAT IS KILLING OUR SOCIETIES & COUNTRIES !
MOST PEOPLE POSTING HERE AGREE BUT IT IS :PREACHING TO THE CHOIR” & WE ARE NOT THE ONES WHO NEED TO BE PRODDED TO WAKE UP & ACT !
THE CHALLENGE IS TO DEFEAT THE GLOBALISTS & END THIS MASS IMMIGRATION OF PEOPLE WHO NOT ONLY UTTERLY HATE US BUT ALSO HATE ALL NON BELIEVERS & DEMOCRACY !!

Just look at him. That picture shows me nothing more than a sadistic thug with cold eyes and a hint of a self-satisfied smirk.
This animal thinks his First Amendment rights have been hammered – all because he CHOSE to eat bread and water for 13 days and can’t shower before sticking his ass in the air and his face into the dirt, to pray to his pathetic sky fairy?
I would love nothing more than to subject him to some classic Viet-Cong POW treatment. Shove him in a pit, where he’s stuck in darkness for 23 hours a day, only for the pit lid to be opened up and he gets showered in a bucket of waste from the soldiers – then gets thrown a subsistence-level amount of food – definitely non-halal. Throw him a rancid pork chop and let him wipe the excrement off of it, before he has to eat it.
And this animal is a Doctor? It speaks volumes about the state of professional medicine these days. I remember when I sat the UMAT and when I was offered a placement – the vast majority of the other successful entrants were all foreign students – who planned to study and practice medicine solely for the money and prestige it could bring them – they could care a fig for anything else, such as saving lives or helping others. As a result, they are exactly the wrong type to be becoming Doctors. Just like this scum bag.
Let him starve to death. It’ll take a while – he clearly isn’t rake thin as it currently stands.
Carolyne says
Mohammed said that if one did not have access to water to wash (Wudu, which I think is the funniest word in the world,) they could use sand. So give this guy a bucket of sand. It’s allowed by Islam. I don’t think Muslim shower every day anyway, as I have stood downwind of a number of them.
Joe says
This is not about the first amendment which allows one to pursue happiness. Kahn is allowed to follow Islam; no one is stopping him. In his complaints, he does not say the jail is forcing him to leave Islam.
He is saying that Islam has a number of rules that the jail is not following. Yet, the Constitution does not require that a person be treated in a special way because of his religion. In fact, the Constitution says that we are equal under the law which means that his requests should not be met, unless all religious requests are met which is impossible.

Islamic mirror says
The meat of the Jews and Christians is lawful for Muslims to eat. Qur’an 5:3.
Muslims always lie Nowhere is it said to be mandatory to eat halal
The point of halal is to further Islam, to make demands upon the infidels, to be followed by more and more demands and accommodations, and push push push Shari’a. At the beginning in seemingly harmless ways. So, you get halal related industries employing only Muslims
halal is a part of Islamization. Halal is like the hijab (or the mosque) not personal choices but religious regulations under Shari’a, and part of this hijrah migration doctrine which is meant (solely) to colonize. find it easier to just make all the meat halal. Money rolls into Muslim hands and further finances the expanding Muslim ummah, money also goes into zakat, which mandates the funding of mujahideen.
The fact is, muslims don’t need halal meat or anything to be certified halal either in a non-muslim country. They can eat what we eat. Having halal slaughter and certification of foods is to control the food supply, jobs only for muslims and have us all under the yoke of sharia law.
It’s not just meat that Muslims want certified Halal.
Nestle and Cadbury for instance certify all their products.
Muslims are trying to enforce “Halal” transportation and storage on all foods as well.
People are sick, fed up with the preferential treatment they get. This is them forcing sharia on to us. Until the authorities wake up and realise that making favourites out of Muslims only makes many non-Muslims seethe with resentment, they, the authorities will have played their part in a future civil war.
Has it ever occurred to some of those Arab Spring Muslims who were standing in food lines at refugee camps just weeks ago and showered with pity by CNN and BBC World News that just maybe that very same hostile arrogance they cling to is what caused them to flee for their lives from fellow Muslims waving halal butcher knives at them?

Nebraska prison authorities need to learn the doctrine of DARURA (necessity):
There is a powerful principle in Islamic jurisprudence, the “Law of Necessity,” that permits what is forbidden — the end justifying the means. If a goal is obligatory, then the means can also be obligatory, even if otherwise they might be forbidden.
In Islam the universe of possible human deeds is divided into what is obligatory, permitted neutral, disliked, or forbidden. Then there is the need to balance the pros and cons of every act. This is a world of choice which can embrace a necessary evil, or take a pass on a good deed for the sake of a greater good.
A Muslim may forego any religious duty if ‘necessary’ and do it later. The inmate does not absolutely need to shower, because no ‘SHOWERS’ were available in the time of Mohammed and little water is available in the Arabian desert. A drop of water here and there is sufficient for his ritual ablutions. And he may use sand as a substitute if no water is there. It’s daft and obsessive compulsive, but so was Mohammed.
Politicianphobia says
Emilie, I do not normally comment on what anyone looks like, however, I do believe the real reason there is Shari’ah law in this world, is because most of the Muslim men are so damn ugly, cold and boorish, they would never get a woman without their opressive law.
