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.

Saw this comment over on Gateway Pundit – not sure if the links will work here

Khizr M. Khan used to work for Hogan & Hartson, which has ties to the Clinton Foundation. He now works as a Lawyer.
https://apps.law.georgetown.ed…;

Hogan & Hartson and Lovells announced their agreement to merge on 15 December 2009
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…;

“Hogan Lovells LLP, another U.S. firm hired by the Saudis, is registered to work for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia through 2016, disclosures show. Robert Kyle, a lobbyist from the firm, has bundled $50,850 for Clinton’s campaign”

http://freebeacon.com/politics…;

Concurrently Hogan Lovells has made a three-year Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) “Commitment to Action.”

http://www.hoganlovells.com/en…;

“Many lawyers at Hogan Lovells remember the week in 2004 when U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan lost his life to a suicide bomber. Then-Hogan & Hartson attorneys mourned the death because the soldier’s father, Khizr Khan, a Muslim American immigrant, was among their beloved colleagues”

Trump would do well to leave this one alone.

It looks like Ghazala is sounding off now to get in on a piece of the action. No use letting the Khan man get all the TV face time and adoration by the Democrats and their “media” toads.

I'll keep saying it.

The 442nd Infantry was one of the most decorated outfits in The History of the United States Army. It was comprised of nearly All Japanese-Americans during World War II.

Their Service is one of the highest and honorable America could achieve during the War. nearly All Japanese-Americans during World War II.

But we still Bombed Japan into Ruin and Killed them by the Millions.nearly All Japanese-Americans during World War II.

Because we were at War.nearly All Japanese-Americans during World War II.

And the fact we had the 442nd didn't change that.nearly All Japanese-Americans during World War II.

It couldn't change that, because Japan had be changed from it's warmongering ways, and that meant Napalming everything in Honshu.

You mean he should cower and apologize like other Republicans have always done?

No, Trump needs to fire back and call out the hypocrisy here. Patricia Smith was called a liar by Hillary but somehow this Muslim couple is getting the red-carpet treatment by the media.

Nobody is buying this crap.

I agree. I don’t think this line of attack is a vote-gainer.

From what they state, their son died as a patriotic US citizen in service to his nation. It has nothing to do with whether or not he was a Muslim.

Unfortunately, that isn't true of all Muslims who have entered the US. We should of course, in a heartfelt way acknowledge her grief. But she should of course acknowledge our fears of Radical Islamic Terrorism.

geeeze.....why can't anyone working with Trump on policy say stuff like I just did?

Everything Trump says is scrutinized and turned into a negative.

The Hillary Clinton campaign struck gold...with 30 pieces of silver. Two for the money...

I would spit in the direction of Hillary but I am running a little low today.

Did the wife actually SAY this, or was this written by her husband?

Adherents of a “religion” founded by a thief, pedophile and murderer.

Their son may have done fine service. Though it seems he wasn’t smart enough to dump that phony faith either.

Destroy islam

She has been granted a special exemption to speak. There was a Saudi boy in a friend’s classroom at school. Not once did “the mother” visit the school or show her face. Another Saudi boy in another classroom had his mom at school on two occasions wearing full body coverings. All anyone could see were her eyes. The dads did all the communicating.

Excellent point, they smeared Trump for having that Benghazi mom on, said how inappropriate it was, yadda yadda yadda. Then this guy and his subserviant wife do the same thing and we get gushing praise for Hillary and the dems.

Musloids like the Khans do NOT believe in the Natural Rights of Man, so they cannot have ANY allegiance to the Constitution of the United States.

If their son was a practising Muslim, he died in the service of the United States - but he didn't die for his country. This is because a practising Muslim cannot declare allegiance to the United States.

He can, ‘leave it alone’, when Hillary apologizes to Patricia Smith
