No a Rag i take seriously.
The seeds were sown with Khan’s now-former in-laws. During London’s ’90s Islamist heyday, Khan’s brother-in-law Makbool Javaid was affiliated and listed as a spokesman to the now-banned terrorist group al-Muhajiroun, founded by the hate preacher Omar Bakri Muhammad, and then led by the infamous fanatic Anjem Choudary. I knew of Makbool back then, too. His brothers were colleagues of mine, affiliated to my former extremist organization, Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Through such connections Khan ingratiated himself in the London Islamist scene. In 2003, he appeared at a conference alongside Sajeel Abu Ibrahim, a member of that same banned al-Muhajiroun. Sajeel ran a camp in Pakistan that trained the 7/7 bomber Mohammad Sidique Khan. Speaking there, too, was one Yasser al-Siri, who had been convicted in Egypt over a political assassination attempt that left a young girl dead.
In 2004, Khan gave evidence to the House of Commons in his capacity as the chair of the Muslim Council of Britain’s legal affairs committee. This is the same Muslim Council of Britain that chose to condole the recent Ahmedi murder victim in Glasgow, by declaring Ahmedis not Muslim. In his MCB capacity, Khan argued in Parliament that the Muslim Brotherhood cleric Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi “is not the extremist that he is painted as being.” This is Qaradawi who, among other things, authored a book called The Lawful and Prohibited in Islam, in which he justifies wife beating and discusses whether homosexuals should be killed. Infamously, Qaradawi also issued a fatwa advocating suicide bombings against Israeli civilians, a view which has seen him join the likes of Omar Bakri Muhammad in being denied entry to the U.K.
Khan’s relationships with extremists ran so deep in fact, that he attended events for the jihadist rights group Cage, and wrote a foreword for one of their reports. Cage has since declared ISIS executioner ‘Jihadi-John’ to be a beautiful man live on the BBC. Khan’s defence of such a prolific flirtation with Islamism is that he was a human-rights lawyer.
However, most of these events were not attended in his capacity as a lawyer at all. One suspects he was simply trying to gain votes. By 2010, with increasing grassroots popularity among highly organized Islamists and fundamentalists, but carrying the burden of the Labour Party’s War on Terror record, Khan’s bid to get re-elected in his home-base of South London’s Tooting was facing challenges from another Muslim. For unlike the Labour Party, this Muslim’s party had opposed the invasion of Iraq. Khan’s rival was Liberal Democrat Nasser Butt. Liberal Democrat opposition to the Iraq war posed a serious challenge to Khan and his Muslim power base in Tooting. British South Asian Muslims—myself included—overwhelmingly opposed that war. “Luckily” for Khan, Nasser happened to be an Ahmadi Muslim. Yes, this is as relevant as Sadiq Khan being a Sunni Muslim. In other words not at all, in a perfect world. Alas, Khan’s world was far from perfect. Ahmedis are perhaps the most persecuted minority sects among Sunni Muslims. Khan knew this, and yet this fact didn’t stop his campaign working closely with Tooting Mosque to stir up anti-Ahmedi sectarian hatred in order to secure the Sunni vote for his victory.
For many of my fellow Sunni Muslims Nasser Butt being an Ahmedi was a doctrinal “offence” for which he was personally responsible, while Khan was too junior of an MP at that time to have much to do with the invasion of Iraq. By now, Khan’s religious writing was clearly on the mosque wall. Again, Khan is no Muslim extremist. Indeed, this cannot be repeated enough. Nor can the fact that Khan clearly has a record of terribly poor judgement in surrounding himself with Islamists and Muslim extremists, and in using them for votes.

Didn't Sadiq go bugged back in 2008 by the the Metropolitan Police Anti-Terrorist Branch, because he was having visits in prison with Babar Ahmad.?
I read that somewhere.

'Man goes to same gym as someone who once knew a terorist, lets run an election hit piece on him'. Woouldn't be suprised if they follow up with Khan uses twitter/the internet and ISIS also use twitter/the internet, therefore he is ISIS and so is everyone else apart from Theresa May who refused to have the terrorists monitored under TPIM after they returned from ISIS traning and declared support for ISIS.

I guess that was a good PR for him in his political career.
He can not stay away from the "mistreated" and "at religious disadvantage" now, right?

No surprise here. The Tory Supporting Daily Mail trying to do a hatchet job on a Labour Mayor during the General Election Campaign.
All this is just a re-run from last year when Tory Zac Goldsmith accused Khan of the same misdemeanours.
Here is an article for balance from last years Economist.

There are plenty of verified accounts of Khan mixing with extremists. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to erase history.

I'm no fan of Khan but the smear dossier was written by Tory London Mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith, most of the alleged platforms were counter protests against radical islam and work in anti-terror when protesting the now banned group Islam4UK, with.
A couple are true such as his extended brothers link to a group 20 years ago and I find some of his comments that some hate preachers are 'just getting a bit carried away when speaking' but even the Tory loverag The Spectator is defending Khan and attacking May and Goldsmith's dodgy dossier where the claims are fact checked with reality that Goldmsith actually invited many of the extremists mentioned in the smear campaign to talks with government and to help his campaign.
