The mainstream media is wild with enthusiasm these days over Khizr Khan, the father of a Muslim soldier, Humayun Khan, who was killed fighting in Iraq in 2004. Khizr Khan, brimming with self-righteous anger, spoke at the Democratic National Convention, where he delivered what the Washington Post dubbed a “brutal repudiation of Donald Trump.” Trump responded, elevating Khizr Khan to the status of full-fledged flavor-of-the-moment media celebrity. There’s just one catch: Khizr is using his son’s memory not to advance the cause of the United States, as his son apparently died trying to do, but to advance a quite different cause: that of the global umma.

Ummah (Islamic community) distribution map according to Pew Research. Ummah is an Arabic word meaning "nation" or "community". It is distinguished from Sha'b which means a nation with common ancestry or geography. Thus, it can be said to be a supra-national community with a common history.
There may be something to the topic, but I am not convinced his motive is based on that premise. I say it has nothing more to do with it than money. Mr. Kahn’s practice is that of an immigration attorney. This sorry SOB is using the honor of his dead son to enrich himself and Trump would put a serious dent in his business, if not a mortal one, in what can be assumed are his prime target customers.
This friggin lowlife will eventually rue the day he got up on that public rant because now the full weight of private citizen investigators are going to give him the public enema he so richly deserves. He has attacked Trump for nothing Trump did but suggest a plan to protect us that would have put a big pinch in Kahn’s business prospects. And, as we have seen time and again, Trump will set the record straight and very bluntly at that.
Khan got caught by his um ma own words...
If he had kept his ugly mouth closed few would have investigated just who he was and why he attacked Trump in such a horrible fashion..
I don’t like that face. That’s not a face I’d like to meet in an alley...or a Catholic Church...or a Florida nightclub...or on a street in the south of France...
This whole “gold star family” fiasco was planned by the DNC to set up Trump. His son might have been a “fallen hero” but this maggot is an America-hating scumbag out to earn a gig in the Clintoon regime. This guy is a Muslim. Trump is an American. Sorry but I’m going with the American.
He is a member of the muslim brotherhood terrorist group.
The critics of Donald Trump won’t say this nor mention Hillary Clintons aid/whatever as a member along with her entire family.
The arabs must be spending a lot of money to pay off people to hide this.
I guess either either can be used then, but to them the word is ummah.
Son killed by MUSLIMS, in a MUSLIM country in a war that
Hillary Clinton supported - ATTACKS TRUMP
Many borrowed words in the English language are spelled differently than their origin. So umma is Yiddish, and ummah is Arabic, and they mean the same thing. Difference is the Arabic meaning takes on a different connotation altogether.
Uh, this guy with the same name, lived in the 15th century. Maybe the Dem was named in his honor, but is not the guy in this article.
Check out this video from December 2015.

But this article was in English. in English either is acceptable. Obviously, if the article were in Arabic, even the alphabet would be different.
Islam is all about knowing and honoring its History. This guy’s namesake was famous.
Uh, wrong fonts and direction of reading.....
