Ghazala Khan: Trump Criticized My Silence. He Knows Nothing About True Sacrifice.
The Washington Post ^ | Sunday, Juy 31, 2016 | Ghazala Khan

Posted on 07/31/2016 8:53:39 AM PDT by kristinn

Donald Trump has asked why I did not speak at the Democratic convention. He said he would like to hear from me. Here is my answer to Donald Trump: Because without saying a thing, all the world, all America, felt my pain. I am a Gold Star mother. Whoever saw me felt me in their heart.

Donald Trump said I had nothing to say. I do. My son Humayun Khan, an Army captain, died 12 years ago in Iraq. He loved America, where we moved when he was 2 years old. He had volunteered to help his country, signing up for the ROTC at the University of Virginia. This was before the attack of Sept. 11, 2001. He didn’t have to do this, but he wanted to.

SNIP

Donald Trump said that maybe I wasn’t allowed to say anything. That is not true. My husband asked me if I wanted to speak, but I told him I could not. My religion teaches me that all human beings are equal in God’s eyes. Husband and wife are part of each other; you should love and respect each other so you can take care of the family.

When Donald Trump is talking about Islam, he is ignorant. If he studied the real Islam and Koran, all the ideas he gets from terrorists would change, because terrorism is a different religion.

Donald Trump said he has made a lot of sacrifices. He doesn’t know what the word sacrifice means.

Ah, did not daddy decide because of his sons choices, entitled to make himself part of politics. Trump did not sent the son to die.

"I can guarantee you that copy of the constitution he had was given to him by the Clinton campaign. "

Yeah, I wonder if HE read it. Trump should have asked HIM that.

We can point that out, but Trump should just leave it alone.

Exactly. I don’t think people agree that these folks are an example that islam is not the problem. If anything, it proves islam is the problem. despite what happened to their son, they still insist islam is peaceful. we all know that’s a lie.

Didn't she say she's Muslim. That is clearly not what it taught nor what is practiced in any Muslim nation. Since she's American I am happy to see that's the way they see it in their family but that is not the Muslim custom. This is unarguable.

We can point that [that a practising Muslim US soldier doesn't "die for his country", "because Islam"] out, but Trump should just leave it alone.

Right.

The Media Death Star has modified its main weapon, confident that no one will call them out on their seditious conspiracy and abetting a foreign power, Islam, in its interference in a US election.

However, WE can challenge the seditious lie, even though Trump can't, at least for now.

I don’t think these people are garnering much sympathy by bashing Trump. The only people impressed by their actions are already RATS.

You owe the people a measured apology for seeming insensitive to their loss even through we all KNOW they are being used by the DNC

Trump doesn't owe musloid fake "US citizens" an apology while they're conspiring with the Democrats to undermine the government and abetting the interference of a foreign power, Islam, in a US election.

The media of course is salivating at the Muslim icon they are constructing.

But will middle America buy it? I doubt it.

This seems like media and Democrat navel gazing.

Yep. Trump has no reason to apologize. Just stay in message.

The minute he allows the Muslim apologists to set the agenda of discussion, the focus on Hitlery and her incompetence goes away.

It is so very clear that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and the print media are working overtime to protect Hitlery and the Demon Rat party.

For those who have made comments critical of Trump for his remark re. the muslim (shari’a?) lawyer whose son was killed by ANOTHER MUSLIM while serving in the muslim created centuries ole hell hole/abattoir in the Middle East, I – and many other posters – have asked one question: Why didn’t this fellow aim his comments at the fellow muslims now slaughtering other muslims, Christians and Jews all over the world – and, if you’ve been asleep or a demoncrat (but I repeat myself) – now HERE AMONG US?
Oh wait. He was at the demoncrat convention and was under orders to dump on Trump!
never mind.
(If this confuses you, search the definition of “Taqiyya”.)
And as for his pulling out his little Constitution, let me urge all you who see this to visit the site at the link below to fully grasp the contents of ANOTHER book (a BIG ONE) the Quran!

The Koran and Hadith both disagree with you, Mrs. Kahn.

It is clear the “sacrifice” talking points have gone out. The democrats need to be careful with this meme. In all honesty what does sacrifice have to do with anything? Only a tiny minority of Americans have lost someone in combat. All one is going to have to do is turn it back on Hillary What has she sacrificed? The Benghazi dead? Was Chelsea on the front lines?

Nor do the Kahns know anything about true sacrifice. They sacrificed nothing. Their son, a grown man, sacrificed all. I find it offensive that they will claim that they made some sort of sacrifice with regard to their son’s service.

There was ZERO to be gained by going out after Khan. Just say “I respect his son’s and the Khan family sacrifice” and let this die out. Then if Khan and the DEMS keep it up, they look like tacky opportunists.

Oh, I don't know. For one thing, Trump has managed to pull victories from controversies like these time and again when everyone swore this was the big one that was going to sink him. For another, this father is full of crap. We know it, Hillary knows it, the father knows it, Trump knows it, and a good portion of the voting public knows it. The reason that the Left and their reign of lies has had so much success over the years is because people on the right are afraid to challenge them and risk being politically incorrect. Bah. Sometimes the best defense is a good offense.

I agree, yet Trump is correct in a temporary halt of Muslim refugee immigration. Stop and think during the beginning of the 20th Century criminals and the sick were barred from entrance to America. Why should it be any different today. Regulated immigration is necessary for the health an national Security of America.

I’m so sick of you guys who want to change Trump’s personality into something he is not. All you Monday morning quarterback’s. Leave Trump alone. Let Trump be Trump. Geez, you want to change him into the very milquetoasts we are trying to get rid of.

Trump is doing just fine. We all wait for his next comments because we know we won’t ever be bored, most of us will agree with what he says regardless of how the MSM portrays those words he says (it will ALWAYS be a negative interpretation, so Trump should NEVER waste time trying to please them) and we know that what he says, however potentially inartful, will be his honest opinion and not a pack full of lies.

Trump is unique; one of a kind. Stop telling him how to play the game. He’s done great so far, has a huge following, and is going to win in November. Start supporting him wholeheartedly folks, and can the incessant nitpicking. Geez. You do our side no good.
