The Smoke and Mirrors of Western Media and some shameless Pakistanis... and how Imran Khan responds (remember the "commando" turned to a wet cat after the "stone age" phone call?) 1) Will Hillary Clinton bar Imran Khan? (By Tarek Fatah, Toronto Sun) Updated: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 06:35 PM EDT... The "law" Imran Khan wishes to "implement" in Pakistan with the help of money raised in America is Sharia...Will Hillary Clinton do the honourable thing and bar Imran Khan from entering the U.S. and sullying American soil? Will she put an end to the appeasement of Islamists? After all, the buck stops with her, right? 2) Imran Khan in Toronto (The Nation, Pakistan, 22 October 2012) PTI Canada warns of disturbing Imran's Toronto visit (By: Syed Danish Hussain)...ISLAMABAD - Perturbed over the 'irresponsible behaviour of head of PTI Women Wing', the elected board members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Canada, have threatened not only to boycott but also to disrupt Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan's scheduled fundraising visit to Toronto. 3) Cricket legend, politician Imran Khan headed to Toronto (By Tom Godfrey, Toronto Sun) Updated: Thursday, October 18, 2012 08:50 PM EDT...TORONTO - Controversial Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan will be touching down in Toronto next week to speak to about 1,000 fans about the political turmoil in his homeland...The founder of Pakistan's Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party is a known Taliban apologist who this month took part in a protest against U.S. drone strikes in his homeland. 4) Imran Khan speaks in Brampton next week (By Maryam Shah, Toronto Sun) Updated: Thursday, October 18, 2012 09:09 PM EDT ... has recently come under fire for likening the war in Afghanistan to "jihad" in a video posted by Pakistani newspaper Express Tribune..."Whoever fights for their freedom is fighting jihad," he says in the video, citing the Qur'an...

"He shouldn't be coming here if he supports the Taliban, and if he thinks what they are doing is a jihad, yes, that is real conflict with the Canadian values," Siddiqui said...PPP GTA president Ibrahim Daniyal says Khan "will never" condemn the Taliban ... Khan has also been criticized in the media for supporting sharia law..."Sharia is what makes a human human," he said on a Pakistani news channel last year. 5) Which message will Imran Khan deliver? (By Simon Kent,Toronto Sun) Updated: Thursday, October 18, 2012 09:13 PM EDT ...Which Imran will we hear in Brampton?...Khan is well known for his moderate views on the Taliban. This surely would be his chance to speak up against their murderous ways...While he is at it, perhaps he could give a warm shout out to the United States across the border...Pakistan is one of the single biggest recipients of U.S. foreign aid. In fiscal year 2012 it will take around $3 billion. All up it has received around $20 billion in military and non-military aid since 2001, although the near silence from Pakistan governments of all persuasions on the matter is deafening. A simple thank-you would suffice. 6) Pakistan's Imran Khan slams U.S. war on terror...'A military solution is a disaster for the U.S.,' Khan tells CBC's Evan Solomon...CBC News (Posted: Oct 25, 2012 10:49 PM ET, Last Updated: Oct 26, 2012 12:37 AM ET)...The war on terror has been a costly failure and the use of drones is ratcheting up anti-Americanism and militants, says a popular politician vying to be Pakistan's next leader...Comment: BrianDufoe2012/10/25: at 10:59 PM ETthis guy is a rising star internationaly. he makes more sense then any western leader,any of them!! 7) Imran Khan: Pakistani politician's whirlwind trip to Canada ends with questioning from U.S. officials...Published on Friday October 26, 2012 (Michelle Shephard, National Security Reporter, The Toronto Star) ...Khan's early arrival turned out to be the only orderly event of his visit here, as the founder of the political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) moved from the airport to a lively news conference, followed by a raucous Brampton rally of 1,800 where fans rushed him like a rock star while organizers screamed into a microphone for calm. 8) US 'interrogates' Imran Khan on drones (AFP) (Dawn, 27 October 2012) ISLAMABAD: Pakistani politician Imran Khan has said he was pulled off a New York-bound plane by US immigration officials and interrogated about his view on American drone strikes in his country..."My stand on drones is very clear.
