Who is Khizr Khan, the father of a fallen US solder?
« on: August 01, 2016, 01:00:40 pm »
Khizr Khan is the father of a U.S. soldier who died in Iraq who spoke poignantly of the loss of his son and then used that platform to attack Donald Trump. On Sunday he tweeted further disparaging remarks about Melania.

Google shows this for his law practice:

His NYC address is here (but the phone number is in DC)

    Khan, Khizr M. CFC
    Law Offices of KM Khan
    415 Madison Avenue
    15th Floor
    New York, NY 10017

    Phones: 202.279.0806
    Fax: 646-673-8401
    Contact Us

I was surprised that a NY law office would list a D.C. telephone number, so I called it  to check and was told by the man who answered  it was not Khazir Khan's law office, but the man who answered would not tell me who it was.

So I did more digging and learned  that is also the phone number of a group called  American Muslims Vote, which says its mission is to:

    To create an enlightened community by providing and developing Patriotic American Muslim leadership and

    Encouraging American Muslims to participate in the democratic process at local, state and national level and vote on the election day.

I did some further research into who registered this domain name and when? Khizr Khan registered it on July 23, 2016.

He's looking increasingly like a plant to me -- a Muslim Cindy Sheehan playing on people's sympathies to foster a Democratic Party political agenda.

Continued attacks on the Khan family would seem to be counterproductive, to me.  Was this past weekend not evidence enough that going after a Gold Star family makes Trump look bad?

Regardless what, who or why, Trump took the bait and the democrat muzzies sank the hook. Now, after donnies performance with Stephy yesterday it looks like he swallowed it whole.

This is a perfect example of why people with a 5th graders intelligence should not run for president.

Trump's public breakdown on Twitter is an emotional classic.  He thinks this is 1930 and we don't have video:



Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump  26m26 minutes ago
So with all of the Obama tough talk on Russia and the Ukraine, they have already taken Crimea and continue to push. That's what I said!

 Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump  39m39 minutes ago
When I said in an interview that Putin is "not going into Ukraine, you can mark it down," I am saying if I am President. Already in Crimea!

 Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump  2h2 hours ago
This story is not about Mr. Khan, who is all over the place doing interviews, but rather RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM and the U.S. Get smart!

 Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump  2h2 hours ago
Mr. Khan, who does not know me, viciously attacked me from the stage of the DNC and is now all over T.V. doing the same - Nice!

It's not in helping in any way shape or form.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

You have to understand, kevin, that Trump and his followers not only don't care about helping the Conservative cause, they are overtly trying to destroy it.

Shoebat.com is a way out site to me; but he may be hitting the mark that Khan has extensively written on Sharia law and may be a firm believer in it; if this is so, it certainly changes perspectives.

Here Khan writes on Sharia law:

Quote


At the bottom of the page, Khan shows his appreciation for an icon of the Muslim Brotherhood: “The contribution to this article of S. Ramadan’s writing is greatly acknowledged.” S. Ramadan is Said Ramadan, head of the Islamic Center in Geneva and a major icon of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Do you want Trump to say he will invade Crimea if he is made president? That's a rather extreme view.

As everyone knows I can't stand King Trumpy, but...... You know the guy goes on television at the DNC convention and goes after trump.  I'm sorry he lost his kid.  But I don't care if Trump and the worshipers go after him or not.  Why would anyone think that they were free to take a position without being responded to? The guy says he wants to back out and keep his dignity.  I would guess he has reasons for wanting out of this thing and the longer it goes on the more likely the dirt will be revealed.


There is no way this was just some lowly completely naive Mohammad from we are the world mosque.
America needs God's forgiveness....... Even if Donald Trump doesn't think he does.

He allowed himself and his wife, to be used by democrats. Not to mention by extension, by #nevertrumps, too.

Now he has second thoughts, about being involved in the American political process. Tough shit, Khan.

It is just some kind of Pavlovian reaction that you INSIST on every time the Dems are mention you have to toss a backhanded slap at #nevertrump?

They have nothing to do with this.

But then again in your small little mind Trump can do no wrong and even helpful constructive criticism...like how he should have just been gracious and let this one incident die...you take as a slam and an insult by the supposed #nevertrump people on here.  Can't dare criticize the King.  He is perfect...he is without fault.

Get over yourself.  From a public relations and public affairs perspective...he should have taken the highroad...said "that's nice he's entitled to his opinion" and let it go.

That's not the view of a #nevertrump person or someone who because they are criticizing wants Hillary to win...that's an objective professional opinion that you would get from 99.9% of the high dollar PR firms in the country.

He's doing more harm than good to himself and with every tweet and with every further comment on the situation he's stoking an unnecessary fire and giving the Hillary Campaign soundbites for her next ad.

As a Muslim Brotherhood/ Lawyer 'Khan specializes' in a highly controversial program accused of letting immigrants buy their way into the U.S.

..... website notes that he works to help clients with the E-2 and EB-5 programs that let overseas investors buy into U.S. companies and also provides green cards for family members....................He also helps in the purchase of U.S. real estate and businesses.
"The E-2 and EB-5 are two of the most notoriously abused visa categories that essentially allow wealthy foreigners to buy their way to U.S. residency, and possibly citizenship, with a relatively modest investment," said Jessica Vaughan, the policy director for the Center for Immigration Studies....
"The EB-5 is literally a 'citizenship for sale' program in which a visa for a whole can be bought for as little $500,000,"  .. "It is literally a 'citizenship for sale' program, and it's an amazing deal. Compared to other countries, America is the Walmart of investor visa programs," she added.

One criticism is that it allows an immigrant to invest $500,000 in an approved type of business and in return get a set of green cards for the investor, the investor's spouse, and all their under 21-years-of-age children.

((((A member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Check!
Runs a law firm for Islamic immigration services tied to the Clinton foundation. Check!
Is allied with Saudi Arabia to promote Sharia Law in the U.S.. Check!
Is allied with the Abedin family (Hillary's right hand Umma) and others to promote all the above. Check!))))

Khan’s Sunday morning assertion on Meet the Press that terrorists “have nothing to do with Islam.”...is BS at it's height.
Jihadis repeatedly make clear that they think what they’re doing has everything to do with Islam:

Texas terrorist bomber 'Khalid Aldawsari'......"And now, after mastering the English language, learning how to build explosives, and continuous planning to target the infidel Americans, it is time for Jihad.”

Times Square car bomb terrorist Faisal Shahzad.......“Jihad, holy fighting in Allah’s course, with full force of numbers and weaponry, is given the utmost importance in Islam….By jihad, Islam is established… Jihad is an obligation and duty in Islam on EVERY Muslim.”

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his fellow 9/11 defendants........."Many thanks to God, for his kind gesture, and choosing us to perform the act of Jihad for his cause and to defend Islam and Muslims. Therefore, killing you and fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you, responding back to your attacks, are all considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion.








'IF' Judgements are going to be made by Honoring  Muslim family members 'based on their sons decisions'... then the same principle should be applied to ALL Muslims families........including those whose sons are violent against Americans here and abroad.
