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.

Photo of these two is splashed across the Atlanta newspapers' website right now. I don't recall any similar photo after the GOP convention. Just angry-looking photos of Trump.

Of course, I will say this beats the photos of Obama and Hillary embracing that they have been running for days on end.

“Trump would do well to leave this one alone.”

Yes he should. The question is, Will he? The answer is Very doubtful.
