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 didnt have to do this, but he wanted to.
SNIP
Donald Trump said that maybe I wasnt 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 Gods 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 doesnt know what the word sacrifice means.

I like the clean logic of it.
You either believe in the Natural Rights of Man, or you don't.
It's quite evident that the globalists and their musloid buddies DON'T believe in the Natural Rights of Man.
No, he would not.
You would do well to stop being a cowering Republican.
“I am a Gold Star mother.”
So was Cindy Sheehan. And I’m a retired guy who would gladly shove their “Gold Stars” up their lying butts. Having a son who died doesn’t give one the right to lie about what is going on.
Islam teaches that women are contemptible. In her case, that may be right.
The Khans should both be asked if they believe in sharia law.
He had volunteered to help his country, signing up for the ROTC at the University of Virginia.

youre the one who doesn’t understand sacrifice...
They used that family to paint a totally false portrait. The number of US muslim soldiers who have died in recent conflicts is miniscule. In fact, more soldiers were killed at Fort Hood by a muslim soldier than then number of muslim US soldiers killed on the battlefield. The soldier in question was killed by a Muslim. Blame them. Don’t dishonestly wave the bloody shirt for political gain, which is what Hillary did.
They struck gold because of Trump’s continuing stupid impulse to shoot from the lip (via twitter) at people instead of at issues
and I say this as a Trump supporter
For godssake Trump!!!!
People loved the pugilist in the primaries but you have 3 months left to convince them you have a grasp on issues and solutions
Stop the namecalling and flippant tweets addressed at others she was a bystander- why even bring her into it
Address issues
Your position on vetting muslims before they emigrate here is common sense, not anything else and stop making it PERSIONAL when the media distorts you, by whatever messenger
STAY ON MESSAGE
You cannot win by engaging the parents of a dead soldier, but you CAN deal with their logic
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
But a firm response that your proposed policies honor the legacy of our troops who have died by keeping America safe form the same extremism that cost them their lives in Iraq and elsewhere
Never a good idea to use the death of our soldiers in a political event. Clearly all speakers involved could see the DNC was trying to appeal to all basis. Hence, the moms “killed by police”. Why a mom and dad would subject the memory of their son to political rhetoric, I don’t get. They were either naïve, or....geez I cannot even speak the other.
The time has past for apologies if Mr. Trump wanted to humbly say, their son was a hero and shame that they allowed the DNC to use him for their purpose
I would suggest his response now be, for the sake of their son and all those that sacrificed for the cause of freedom, I am done with the rhetoric and will no longer participate....next question.
Trump was attacked by Khan at the DNC.
Wait a minute, I heard trump once got a paper cut at his desk, and no bronze star or purple heart! The system`s rigged, sad, so sad.
Wonder what branch of Christianity the suicide bomber that took his life belonged to?
Khan is making the case that the sacrifice was somehow hers. It was her son who made the sacrifice, not her. Is this the muslim reincarnation of Cindy Sheehan? How soon before the democrats toss her into the ditch, too?
The truth is the only sacrifice Hillary has made is the lives of others. She then lied to their families about what got them killed. Today this muzzle bastard is lying to the world and saying islam has nothing to do with terrorism. Damn these lying hypocrite muslim a-holes and to hell with all hypocrite democrat a-holes too.
SO WHAT
ATTACKING the father of a dead soldier is a NO WIN
Attack what he said, not him
and NOT HIS WIFE
Trump should just move on. The convention’s over. But if the media persists, I think he should offer to meet with her privately. See if she shows up with her husband and if he does all of the talking. Bet it would be declined. These people are propaganda just pieces.
