Khizr Khan, Servant of the Global Umma
​His son died in service of the U.S. military; now his father is using his memory to advance a different cause.

Excerpt:

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.

The well-heeled and powerful backers of the global jihad – those who have enabled the Islamic State (ISIS), al-Qaeda, and other jihad groups to grow as powerful as they have today -- are enraged at Donald Trump. They are deeply worried by his call for a temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration into the United States, as that will make it much more difficult for jihadis to get into this country. They are anxious to stigmatize any and all resistance to jihad terror – and so, happily enough for them, is the Democratic Party, which has eagerly signed on to the longtime strategy employed by Islamic supremacist advocacy groups in the U.S., to demonize all effective measures against jihad terror as “bigoted” and “Islamophobic.”

This obsession with trashing anyone who opposes Trump is insane. Pure insanity.

[truth_seeker]

It is the democrats and the father, who are using the son's death, to advance their political positions; namely to back off from defending ourselves against violent Islamic terrorism.

Hillary is an agent of this position, from her changed mind on Iraq (against it, after she voted for it), creating a vacuum in Libya, etc.

Trump supports standing firmly against Islamic terrorism, and his detractors are all over the place, blinded by their obsession against him.

Trump's a bigot.  His snide remarks about Khan's wife showed his very ugly anti-Muslim side.

You guys are intent on keeping this going, even after the VFW comes out and condemns Trump:



You lost. Stop defending the indefensible.

Thanks to guys like Mr. Spencer for getting the truth out.

I cannot emphasize enough how deeply I disagree with Mr. Trump's statements. I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers or candidates... While our party has bestowed upon him the nomination, it is not accompanied by unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us." -- Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., a prisoner of war in Vietnam who Trump has derided for being captured.

I am dismayed at the attacks Khizr and Ghazala Khan have endured after they spoke about their son's service and sacrifice. There is never enough honor we can show to the families of those whose loved ones have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Service to our country is above politics." -- House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry of Texas.

___

"The Khans have made the greatest possible sacrifice for our country; they deserve to be heard and respected. My advice to Donald Trump has been and will continue to be to focus on jobs and national security and stop responding to every criticism whether it's from a grieving family or Hillary Clinton." -- Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri.

___

"First of all, I just think that anyone that has died in the service of our country is a hero. And I think that (Trump's approach) was a mistake. I believe the focus needs to be on the differences that he has with Hillary Clinton in terms of policies."--Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad.

"Capt. Khan was killed-in-action while honorably serving his nation, and as a country, we are forever indebted to him and his family for his dedication to duty. Heading into November, our party must have a laser focus on the issues that will defeat Hillary Clinton. Period." -- Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina

_

"Capt. Humayun Khan, and all the Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, deserve our deepest respect and gratitude." -- Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin

__

"The Khan family, like all Americans who lose loved ones in the defense of our country, deserve our gratitude and honor. Anything else is inappropriate." -- Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who has not endorsed Trump.

___

Sen. Rob Portman, does not agree with Donald Trump's remarks and believes that Captain Khan was an American hero who gave his life for his country. As he has said previously many times, Rob does not agree with the idea of banning people from entering the country based on their religion." -- Michawn Rich, spokesperson for the Ohio senator.

___

"Having served in Iraq, I'm deeply offended when Donald Trump fails to honor the sacrifices of all of our brave soldiers who were lost in that war." -- Rep. Mike Coffman of Colorado.
