Amir Khan calls on his fellow Muslims to "stand up and speak out" against terrorism following recent attacks.

British boxer Amir Khan has called on his fellow Muslims to "stand up and speak out" against terrorism.

The 28-year-old, who was born in Bolton but is of Pakistani origin, fears that the religion of Islam is being dragged through the mud due to recent turmoil.

Before the New Year, Khan visited the military-run school in Peshawar, Pakistan where 132 children were killed by Taliban gunmen in December.

"There is a time to hide behind a rock and a time to stand in the tall grass," the Daily Star quotes Khan as saying. "With what terrorists are doing to the image of Islam and to the image of Muslims, there is a time to stand up and speak out."

The most recent terror attack in Europe occurred across the city of Paris, where 17 people were killed.
