This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

===Immigration to the United States===
The Khans moved from the UAE to the United States in 1980.

===Death of Humayun Khan===
((main|Humayun Khan (soldier)))
The Khan's middle child, Humayun, attended the University of Virginia, where he became a cadet in its [[Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps|Army ROTC]] program. Upon graduating in 2000, he was commissioned in the [[United States Army|Army]] as a way to earn money for law school and because, according to Khizr, Humayun "felt that ROTC had completed him as a person, and he wanted to give back."<ref name=wapo22march2005/><ref>((cite web|website=virginia.edu/topnews |title=U.Va.'s ROTC Divisions Pay Tribute to Fallen Comrade|date=September 24, 2004|last=Kelly|first=Matt|url=http://www.virginia.edu/topnews/09_24_2004/khan.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060917020122/http://www.virginia.edu/topnews/09_24_2004/khan.html|archive-date=September 17, 2006))</ref> He rose to the rank of [[Captain (United States)|captain]] and served in Iraq during the [[Iraq War]]. In 2004, at the age of 27, Humayun was killed in [[Baqubah]], Iraq, in an explosion. He was inspecting a guard post when he saw a suspicious vehicle approaching. Ordering his subordinates to stay back, he stepped forward to engage. The car was later determined to have been carrying more than 200 pounds of explosives, and when it detonated he was killed along with the two [[suicide attack]]ers.<ref name="nytimes29july2016"/><ref name=sfchronicle27july2016/><ref name="wapo22march2005">((cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/specials/homefront/khan_article.html |title=Looking for Logic Amid the Pain: Grieving Father Struggles to Understand |last=McCrummen |first=Stephanie |date=March 22, 2005 |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |archive-url=https://archive.today/20160811135332/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/specials/homefront/khan_article.html |archive-date=August 11, 2016  )) (reposted July 28, 2016 as [https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/khizr-khans-loss-a-grieving-father-of-a-soldier-struggles-to-understand/2016/07/28/18e8139a-552d-11e6-bbf5-957ad17b4385_story.html "Khizr Khan's loss: A grieving father of a soldier struggles to understand"] (archived [https://archive.today/20160731022538/https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/khizr-khans-loss-a-grieving-father-of-a-soldier-struggles-to-understand/2016/07/28/18e8139a-552d-11e6-bbf5-957ad17b4385_story.html July 31, 2016]))</ref> He was posthumously awarded the [[Bronze Star Medal]] and [[Purple Heart]] and is interred at [[Arlington National Cemetery]].<ref name="nytimes5august2016" /><ref name=nytimes29july2016/>

==Politics==
Before 2015, the Khans had not been publicly political. In the 1980s, Khizr was a strong supporter of [[Ronald Reagan]], but in 2015 he had a strong negative reaction to then-candidate Donald Trump's speech [[Trump travel ban|in favor of temporarily banning citizens of certain primarily Muslim nations from entering the country]].

===2016 DNC speech===
[[File:Khizr Khan Trumps TheDonald.webm|thumb|250px|Khizr Khan speaks at the [[2016 Democratic National Convention]]]]

Prior to the [[2016 Democratic National Convention]], [[Hillary Clinton]]'s campaign reached out to the Khans about speaking at the event. The couple deliberated and eventually agreed, believing it to be what Humayun would have done, despite protests from their other sons that it would make them targets for criticism.<ref name=guardian21october2017/> In planning for the speech, Ghazala opted not to speak on stage, worried that she would not be able to maintain her composure if a picture of her son were with them.<ref name=guardian21october2017/>

On July 28, the final day of the convention, Khizr, accompanied by Ghazala, gave a speech about Humayun, during which he harshly criticized [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[United States presidential nominating convention|nominee]] for president, [[Donald Trump]].<ref name=politifact29july2016>((cite web|url=http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/jul/29/backstory-muslim-soldiers-dad-who-said-trump-sacri/|title=The backstory of the Muslim soldier's dad who said Trump 'sacrificed nothing'|last1=Qiu|first1=Linda|work=[[PolitiFact.com]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160729080745/http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/jul/29/backstory-muslim-soldiers-dad-who-said-trump-sacri/|date=July 29, 2016|access-date=July 29, 2016|archive-date=July 29, 2016))</ref><ref name=guardian1august2016>((cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/31/donald-trump-father-muslim-us-soldier-khizr-khan-soul|title=Trump has 'black soul', says Khizr Khan, father of fallen Muslim US soldier|last1=Swaine|first1=Jon|last2=Gambino|first2=Lauren|date=August 1, 2016|work=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=August 1, 2016))</ref><ref name=cnn31july2016>((cite web|date=July 31, 2016|title=Khizr Khan: Trump has a 'black soul'|url=http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/31/politics/khizr-khan-donald-trump-black-soul/|work=[[CNN]]|access-date=July 31, 2016|first=Eric|last=Bradner))</ref><ref name=abcnews31july2016>((cite web|date=August 1, 2016|title=John McCain Condemns Trump's Attacks on Khizr Khan, Joining Other Republicans|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/mitch-mcconnell-paul-ryan-defend-khizr-khans-sons/story?id=41031777|work=[[ABC News]]|access-date=August 1, 2016|first1=Alana|last1=Abramson|first2=Jordyn|last2=Phelps))</ref> Khan took issue with several of Trump's policies, including his [[Immigration policy of Donald Trump|proposed ban on migration from a list of majority-Muslim countries]].<ref name=bbc31july2016/> Many news outlets focused on two passages from the speech in particular:
