Well...
Developments have had a way of later vindicating at least most of what Donald has said, even when he hasn’t made the very best answer. Donald has already adjusted his tack on various matters, and will surely keep on doing so.
Prayers for God to grant wisdom to Donald Trump will be quite helpful, I believe.
A question like this has many aspects. Let’s assume the best, that Khan chose this out of wishing the best to the America he had come to. The contrast between this and jihadism couldn’t be starker; and yet today the world Muslim community has a bad jihadism problem. Donald is caught between a rock and a hard place here. Some Khans might end up getting shut out in the attempt to bar likely jihadists, which is a shame. However maybe they could still use their courage at home to stop the jihadists.
I know the arguments about Islam per se, in fact I know how a “moderate” could easily slide into violent jihadism without any warning that we can see. I don’t preach any kind of pan-religionism, I preach Christianity. However there may be those people who are approached by the spirit of God before recognizing Him, and respond the right way. Khan may have been such a person.
I think there could be wiser answers, and if they come, they may come from Trump’s more spiritual Christian advisors.
I agree with you that he needs to show wisdom in the way that he responds. That was my point. I do not disagree with what Trump said but the media is portraying him as hotheaded and not presidential. That's all they care about so he has to turn it around on them.
