SAMIR KHAN'S Muslim Extremist's Web Site Stirs Mixed Emotions in Charlotte, N.C. Friday, June 06, 2008 By Cristina Corbin FOX NEWS. CLICK ON HIS IMAGE FOR FOX VIDEO.I (Sarasota PI Bill Warner) had extensive conversations with Cristina Corbin of Fox News as they tried to locate Samir Khan in Charlotte NC during the week of May 26th to May 29th 2008 with some of the Fox News reporters calling me as early as 7:58 am for help. Database search's were made for any and all locations of known relatives of Samir Khan and where they could be found in Charlotte NC.
UPDATE; 7/21/08, Samir Khan was employed at an Internet Call Center in Charlotte NC that has as one of it clients the US Government. Click for the video link here, to see the WBTV 3 story, and get an idea for what his website shows.
There are three Khan children of Zafar and Sarah Khan, the parents who allow Samir Khan to operate his radical website out of their upscale home that was built to Zafar Khan's unusual specifications with separate formal living rooms for the men and the women and extended exhaust systems for the kitchen area for the cooking of special Muslim meals.
Samir Khan has two sisters, one older and one younger, one is in the Education business in Charlotte North Carolina, there are three vehicles registered to the Kahn family at the Charlotte NC address, it appears that Samir Khan is chauffeured around by his mother, at least during the week of May 26th to May 29th 2008. A North Carolina Drivers License has not been found for Samir Z. Khan in Charlotte NC, at least not under that name. Samir Khan appears to have had a part time job selling specility knives ( somewhat of disturbing business for an Islamic Radical), but Samir Khan is now employed at a Internet Call Center which has a prestigious list of clients.
Mr. Khan has now moved his blog to a site called Muslimpad, whose American operators recently moved from Texas to Amman, Jordan. Their larger forum, Islamic Network, is the host of discussions among English-speaking Muslims. One of their former employees, Daniel Maldonado, was convicted this year in federal court of associating with terrorists at their training camps in Somalia (Al-Sahaab). Mr. Khan said that he had dreams about meeting Mr. bin Laden and that he would not rule out picking up a weapon himself one day. In a recent essay, he argued that jihad was mandatory for all Muslims, and he cited three ways to fulfill this obligation: join fighters in Iraq, Afghanistan or Algeria; send them money; or promote militant videos as part of the jihad media (YouTubes big problem)
The Fox news report follows; CHARLOTTE, N.C. 6/06/2008— In a quiet, upscale neighborhood in Charlotte, N.C., rows of custom-style homes and neatly landscaped lawns represent the American dream. But one local resident has shattered that image, calling for the death of American troops in Iraq and supporting Al Qaeda through his Web site, which he reportedly runs from his parents' home.
Samir Khan is the man behind Revolution.Muslimpad.com — a radical Islamic site that praises Usama bin Laden and asks for Allah to “curse more American soldiers.” The site posts videos of U.S. Humvees being blown up by roadside bombs in Iraq. It aims to inspire young Muslims to wage war against the West.
Terrorism experts say the Web site, written in English, is one of the premiere sites for Western audiences to get access to radical Islamist propaganda. Khan, 22, declined requests for an interview, even when approached outside his home with cameras rolling. When asked if the messages on his site represent Islam, Khan would say only that “they represent Muslims.”

"When you go down in to the earth six feet deep, nothing will matter except what Religion you died upon," he wrote. Following a FOXNews.com report last month profiling his Web site, Khan railed against "the Kuffaar" — non-believers — who wrote the article and affirmed his belief that jihad is "an Islaamic obligation" rooted in Muslim texts.
Words like those stir mixed emotions in Charlotte, among the general public and among the 8,000 Muslims who live there.
Imam Khalil Akbar, a religious leader in Charlotte, condemned Khan’s site, saying its views do not reflect “mainstream Islamic thinking” and do not represent the Muslim community at large. “I would reject categorically those kinds of encouragements to look up to people like bin Laden,” Akbar said.
Neighbors described Khan — who immigrated to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia when he was 7 years old — as “friendly” and “reserved.” They said he launched his Web site while taking classes at Central Piedmont Community College and selling Cutco knives.
Abdullah Mahmud, an acquaintance of Khan’s who attends the same mosque, the Islamic Center of Greater Charlotte, defended Khan's viewpoints, saying his anger stems from the United States' foreign policy and occupation of Iraq. Mahmoud said the blood-drenched videos Khan shows of U.S. soldiers injured in combat “serve the purpose of making the reality of the Iraqi scene visible to people.”
“Those videos are not much different than videos involving American soldiers targeting Iraqi civilians,” he said. “You have to look at both sides here.”
One of Khan’s neighbors, Ron Williams, also defended Khan’s right to free speech.
“Our actions (in Iraq) were interpreted broadly in the Muslim world as an attack on Islam,” Williams said, “I defend his right to speak out.” But Jarret Brachman, director of research at West Point's Center for Combatting Terrorism, said Khan’s call for violence takes his anti-American views one step further. “To be unhappy with U.S. foreign policy is one thing, but to advocate violence by promoting Al Qaeda is another,” he said.
“This is the most sophisticated and aggressive Web site in English that really puts out bin Laden’s ideology and the message that’s promoted by Al Qaeda,” he added. Brachman said Khan's site "raises the threshold for what it means to be a good, pro-Al Qaeda Web site" and is "the best in English."
A graphic prominently displayed on the site shows a picture of Abu Yahya al-Libi, a prominent Al Qaeda spokesman whom Brachman calls “Bin Laden 2.0.”
“He’s the guy poised to take over the movement after bin Laden fades away,” Brachman said. “The fact that Khan would display him like he does means he’s trying not only to show he’s an insider, but also to model himself after him.”
The exact dangers his site poses are difficult to assess, experts said.
“It doesn’t necessarily move someone to action immediately, but it primes the pump,” Brachman said. “It gets somebody motivated to think more about Al Qaeda and so over the long term this is a very threatening message that he’s promoting.” The Pro Al-Qaeda Web site Run by a Charlotte Man Samir Khan, as per Cyber Vigilantes Track Extremist Web Sites Bill Warner
