A nice profile -- simple but interesting. No glaring omissions of sources or evidence. Would have been nice to hear from a fellow soldier.

This story humanizes a figure who would otherwise be lost in the larger picture and explains more about a person who was referred to -- only referred to -- in a major story. This story answers some of the questions we had, or explains issues we may not thought about. It is done tastefully, with a well-crafted if not good conclusion. The Joe-the-Plumber lead-in, as done by the writer and not as done by a seemingly lazy headline writer, was a nice journalistic comparison/contrast to set the stage.

This is well-reported, but not contextualized or in-depth enough to be considered great journalism.

This story is about Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan. The soldier that Collin Powell talked about on Meet the Press last Sunday. It is a good story which is much better than stories about "Joe the Plumber".

A touching and wonderful story that shows us the short life of a real American--a Muslim American. Colin Powell brought him up during his recent appearance on Meet the Press, and Youssef has brought him to life for us after he gave his life for his country.

This was a very well-written story and very factual. Colin Powell was quoted and Khan's tombstone appeared in the New Yorker magazine. This story supported Powell's decision to vote for Obama. The only issue here is that Joe the Plumber does not really have much to do with this soldier- Kareem Khan. Joe the plumber has to do with Obama taxing the middle class, while this story has to do with a young Muslim soldier, valiantly giving up his life for this country.

I learned a lot from this article, but it seems like more sources could have been explored. I think the article was very well written and presented an interesting view on soldiers and on faith in the United States.

No, the story almost seems as if the writer is promoting one side and ignoring the other,
