Well I would certainly rather have a Muslim owning an American sports team than Rush Limbaugh. /NOT

Based on the name I'd say he's most likely a Sikh and not a Muslim.

First action... tell the cheerleaders to NEVER yell “Go team go! You KHAN do it!”

Cheerleaders in burkas? Somehow I think it would be difficult to find 72 virgin cheerleaders.

Tell me about it. Can you imagine cheerleaders in burkhas? Calling timeout for prayer?

Some are claiming he was born in Pakistan. Looking for freepers and their awesome investigative skills to dig deeper, mainly to expose Roger Goodall as the fraud he is.

Khan is a surname that can go either way, but generally is Sikh. However, he is a native of Pakistan (a nearly exclusively Muslim country), and his first name is Islamic (Arabic for “martyr”). My money is on him being Muslim.

Looks a tad like Hanks neighbor Khan from “King of the Hill”.

The first name means martyr in Arabic.

Khan's business is in the "downstate" Champaign-Urbana, Illinois area. It's a couple hundred miles southeast of Chicago....and it's night and day from the Windy City.

It's the site of the University of Illinois which is surrounded by rich downstate farmland and dotted with little cow towns as far as the eye can see.

Pardon my paranoia.....but for some reason I smell the fine hand and influence of Obama/Rahm in this deal.
