according to the link khan defended political extremists in court on the grounds that it was his job as a lawyer even though he found their views unsavoury... he is also alleged to have been friends as a younger man with a person who went on to commit terror offences 

not much to see here i am afraid... and no evidence at all that sadiq khan holds terrorist or extremist sympathies

[Mozz71]

Isn't it a lawyer's job to sometimes have to defend scumbags?

Mozz; "Isn't it a lawyer's job to sometimes have to defend scumbags? " - yes and in some cases let them off completely....

See what happens when you spread yourself too thin, Tora?

Have a wee lie down, you're morphing into imafanny.

Makes no difference whether he is or isnt.  Until you change the Postal voting nothing will change.

A slimy little creep

It's not their job to actively seek them out to defend them.

He wanted to jet off to America to defend islamist terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui but was told to *iss off.

Why would he want to do that?

Why would he want to share a platform with islamist terrorists? 

Why would he call moderate Muslims 'Uncle Tom's?

We all know the answer Roy, but that is the big Elephant in the room.  Mustnt mention it.

Sorry for the delay in answering.

It doesn't say Khan "actively sought out" degenerates to represent, rather it says

"In August 2002, Khan was denied access to the US to help defend Zacarias Moussaoui, a member of Al Qaeda who was part of the 9/11 terrorist atrocities."

 so it looks to me more likely he was hired to represent them. Still a dubious decision and not one I would've take, but very different to looking for terrorists to represent.

[Mozz71]

I can't see the "Uncle Tom" reference in the article, so I've either missed it or you're referring to a different incident?

[royfromaus]

He went and met the terrorists mother...that's how keen he was to help the terrorist.

He actually apologised for the 'Uncle Tom' but he can't unsay it.

But why did he say it?

[Mozz71]

Was he hired before meeting the parent? Where was she when he met with her? The UK? Pakistan (or wherever they were from)?

I am not aware of the Uncle Tom thing you speak of, so can't really comment.

 

There just seems to be an awful lot of filling in the gaps going on. 

[royfromaus]

France, he travelled to France to meet Zacarias Moussaoui mother. He wanted to meet Zacarias Moussaoui in Guantanamo Bay. 

Not normal.
