Trump's point being, quite rightly, that women in islam are 2nd class citizens (if they're lucky), and rarely if ever, are allowed to say anything without permission from their male masters.

Trump went after the mother ... that’s what I’m saying was less than adept. Go after the father if that’s what Trump feels he needs to do. But by “attacking” the mother, we’re all going to hear about this for a couple of days and it just gives more fuel to the MSM to beat up Trump.
***********************************************************
I see your point and “normally” I agree with you completely about “attacking” mothers...........er...for political gain and verbally I mean.
That said, I think millions of us are very, very sick of adult muslims of whatever gender enjoying out country, it’s freedoms and it’s benefits while playing the “silent” game when one of their fellow muslims runs over 84 people or kills 14.
At this point, I’m for deportation of every Muslim man, woman and child UNTIL and IF I see some effort on behalf of the adult muslims in this country coming out EMPHATICALLY and OFTEN and very LOUD (I can’t hear you !!!!) AGAINST their fellow Muslims and kinfolks killing “the infidel”.
Then, either ASSIMILATE completely or GET THE HELL OUT !!!
“honor killing” is that not the most horrific term? I hate when our media uses that term to describe the horror of women being put to death by family members. It’s murder you freaking idiots. Senseless murder.
“honor killing” is not a term any right thinking person, in the media or not, should ever use to describe murder.
I don’t disagree with you. But to be fair, this family did have a member of their family serve in our military w/ honor and distinction. This family did sacrifice for the United States against other Muslims.
I am not defending what his man said at the DNC regarding Trump. And I’m not denouncing Trump for his opinion of the father. Nor am I denouncing Trump’s opinion on the way Muslim men treat women.
My POV was in regards to how Trump’s comments would be played in the media and I also wrote ... that all of this would be forgotten by Tuesday. What we all think here on FR is not always what the general voting public think ... I’m not sure why that’s a controversial statement.
Trump's point being, quite rightly, that women in islam are 2nd class citizens (if they're lucky), and rarely if ever, are allowed to say anything without permission from their male masters.
........I think what you say is in complete conformity with my thoughts.
Thanks for the response!
Trump should not talk to Steppinallofit. He’s just trying to trap Trump.
They can’t assimilate unless they completely repudiate Islam and then they become apostates and subject to death.
Catch-22
Mad Mo made it so
Any muslim can have sudden jihad syndrome
None of them are safe unless they repudiate Islam
But it’s true, Hillary hasn’t either. And where is the freedom for that guy’s wife? And lots of families have sacrificed loved ones to the war and they were fighting for different reasons, one reason being to be able to speak up an defend yourself when you are maliciously maligned.
The "FemocRats" with Vaginary Clinton as their WOMAN candidate allowed The MAN to speak for an Islamic family, while his Wife with her head-garb -- just stands there.
GO TRUMP!!
“Trump shouldn’t go after a Gold Star mother. Just thank them for their sacrifice and move on.”
A gold star mother shouldn’t use their kid as a political tool.
There is no fairplay when those who control the news are against you.
It’s a powerful enemy and one of our most dangerous ones.
Can’t wait to see it taken down ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
Is Patricia Smith fair game for using her son's death for political purposes at the GOP convention?
What do you think?
And Trump said he’d like to hear what she had to say. That’s nearly the opposite of “going after” her.
How was he going after the mother? With one pointed question he put a spotlight on a culture that is in opposition to Western culture. I have no problem with that.
I’m missing how Mrs. Smith’s appearance at the RNC was “inappropriate” but the Khans’ appearance warranted more and more TV interviews. And how it is that when a soldier appeared the delegates chanted “no more war,” and when a police officer held a moment of silence for slain officers, they chanted “Black Lives Matter” but somehow this couple deserved complete and utter respect and fawning. Guess it’s all in who’s part of the “narrative.”
Trump did not go after the mother.
>Trump shouldn’t go after a Gold Star mother. Just thank them for their sacrifice and move on.
>IMO ... this was not a winning move by Trump. But in 2 days, no one will remember.
Nah the media will drag it out for weeks. It will be interesting on how Trump choosing to deal with it.
I thought the same thing Trump said about the woman standing subserviently in her medieval garb beside her 20th century, western-attired husband.
I also thought she reminded me of some character from Family Guy.
