Wow. that puts the kibash on khan’s whole speech and his follow up crying.
I wonder why his son joined the army. Was it because pop wanted him to so pop could use it in his platform if he ran for office or something?
or did the kid really want to do it?
Would be good to know
Brought to you by a people that were pestering ungulates for love when Beathoven was composing symphonies.
I wonder why his son joined the army. Was it because pop wanted him to so pop could use it in his platform if he ran for office or something?
or did the kid really want to do it?
The kid was inspecting the gate to a US base. An orange taxi approached, using a path normally reserved for pedestrians. The kid yelled to the troops, "Hit the dirt!" Then he approached the taxi, which blew up, killing him, the occupants of the taxi, and a couple of Iraqi bystanders. Beyond the gate, there were several hundred US troops eating breakfast unharmed.
As the Donald has observed, the kid was a hero.
My reading: Captain Humayun Khan got the United States. His father does not.
VERY MUCH a hero. And a big loss.
And sometimes 2nd generation gets it a lot more.
It sounds like he certainly saved many American soldier’s lives.
He and his wife would talk often to their three boys about why they decided to come to the United States, he began. It was the 1970s, and Pakistan was under military rule. They came to Silver Spring to have more freedom and opportunity."It sounds cliche," said Khan, 54, "but that is the story."
His son was always reading books about Thomas Jefferson; that part of his passion was certainly his father's doing. When the boys were small, Khan would take them to the Jefferson Memorial. He'd have them stand there and read the chiseled, curving words about swearing hostility against tyrannies over the minds of men.
...
It was not exactly surprising, he continued, that Humayun quoted Jefferson in his admissions essay for the University of Virginia, a line about freedom requiring vigilance. It was a bit surprising, though, when he signed up for ROTC and told his dad that after graduation in 2000, he wanted to join the Army.
They had dinner conversations about it, Khan said, looking down at the wooden conference table. He told Humayun that he wouldn't have control over his life, but his son insisted, and that was that.
...
Humayun finished his four years of service and was preparing for law school when the Army called him back to duty. As he was moving into Iraq last year, Khan called him and they spoke briefly, a conversation he has turned over in his mind a million times since.
His son said, "Remember I wrote that article for admission to U-Va.?" Khan said, pausing, taking the pen cap off and putting it on again, his voice steady. "He said, 'I meant it.' He said that. He wasn't going there through some thoughtless process, or thoughtlessly following orders. He thought he was serving a purpose."
On June 9, four months after his arrival in Iraq, Humayun was killed by a car bomber.
The power of Satan manifested on the Earth.
Amen how true!
I don’t believe that an education in Islam, the Koran and the ways of Muslims is entirely necessary unless you’re planning on the possibility of someday having to resort to maintaining the appearance of being a devout enough Muslim to avoid having your head cut off by an Islamic extremist.
The men in my family's previous generation - older uncles, cousins, etc. fought in WWII. (my Father just missed it, went to Korea instead) Whenever the subject came up, they talked about how they would never, ever trust the Japanese, any of them. Male, female, civilian, military, political, companies, etc. Peal Harbor and the atrocities of the war were too burned into their psyche to ever forgive or trust.
I never really understood that, until 9/12/01. Now, I get it, and I feel exactly the same way about Islam and every single Muslim out there. Zero trust, zero respect. There is not a damn thing any of them, nor anyone else, can do or say that will ever change that for me.
Ditto. Now I understand how my dad felt about the Japanese.
