to help fight the war against terrorism?
Lt. Col. Khan was the first of six Americans to set foot in Afghanistan, when the War On Terror started right after September 11 2001. Incidentally, of the first six Americans, three were American Muslims and without their language skills, know-how and bravery, our soldiers and marines would have had a tough time beginning their fight against Al-Quaida and the Taliban forces. In all, fifty percent of the first contingent into Afghanistan was American Muslim soldiers. Lt. Col. Khan’s contributions, along with his other American Muslim soldiers, is an excellent example of where Islam stands within the War On Terror and we are proud of their heroics, both as Americans and Muslims.
