M. Ali Khan

M. Ali Khan

Overview

* Former national director of the American Muslim Council
* Opponent of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq


M. Ali Khan was the national director of the American Muslim Council (AMC) from 2003 until at least January 2008. He was a harsh critic of President Bush’s decision to go to war with Iraq. Khan and an AMC contingent joined the International ANSWER coalition’s January 18, 2003 protests that marked the 12th anniversary of the Persian Gulf War, or what AMC referred to as the “war against the people of Iraq.” On another occasion that same month, Khan led a caravan of Indiana and Chicago activists to an anti-war demonstration in Washington, DC.

Another issue of high priority for Khan is that of racial profiling. Khan retained Hamas attorney Stanley Cohen to represent him in a profiling-related lawsuit against Northwest Airlines.
