Oh, The OTHER Tiger

The FBI is looking for a man named Mohammed Sher Mohammad Khan. Damn that Mowgli for sending his problems to us.

By the way, there's just something about running Homeland Alert that makes me smile and weep at the same time. At least if I am not watching the news I can know when to hide in the basement.


Sher Khan

That is really funny. :-)

That movie is one of the best Disney movies ever. I was going to say one of the best animated movies; but that would just be silly. ("Spirited Away" comes to mind).

Is Khan an Islamic name?

You know, it never for a moment occurred to me that Shere Khan was an Islamic name until now.

But, thinking back, I recall a woman I worked with some years back with a last name of Khan who was from India whose family were Islamic.

Mowgli sound to me to be more of a Hindu name, although I don't really know. Was Kipling writing about some deeper Moslem/Hindu tension here? Was the tiger symbolic of Islamic conquerors?
