Dear Mr. Khan,

I, like millions of Americans saw your speech at the DNC on Thursday night.

I wish to offer my sympathy for the death of your son, Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in action in Iraq.

As a former US Army officer, and a veteran of the Gulf War, I can certainly understand the pain and anguish that you and your wife endure every day.

Your son died saving the lives of his fellow soldiers. As Jesus told his disciples, according to the Gospel of John, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Captain Khan is a hero. I am sure the soldiers he served with regard him as one. I know you and your wife do. Rest assured that millions of veterans regard your son as a hero as well.

To paraphrase from the Book of Ecclesiasticus, your son’s name liveth for evermore.

Your son made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, a country that was new to you and your family and one which you openly embraced and certainly love.

When you and your family arrived to America from Pakistan, you assimilated into our country. You adopted American ways, learned our history and apparently you even acquired a pocket Constitution along the way. Good for you sir.

But, there are many Muslims in America who not only have no desire to assimilate, but wish to live under Sharia Law.

That is unacceptable to Americans. There is only one law of the land. That is the U.S. Constitution.

As you well know, Mr. Khan, we live in violent times, dangerous times. Muslim madmen from ISIS and other radical Jihadi groups are on a murder and terror spree across the globe.

Your religion of peace, Islam, is anything but that in 2016. That is a fact that is confirmed every time a Muslim shoots, bombs, beheads and tortures innocent men, women and children. This does not mean that every Muslim is a terrorist, but most terrorists, sir, are indeed Muslims.

A Muslim terrorist attack has become the sign of the times.


Regardless of what the feckless, naïve, leftist ideologue Barack Obama and his dimwitted colleagues John Kerry, Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel state, the United States and the West are at war with Radical Islam. It is the job of the president of the United States to protect his nation from all enemies; foreign and domestic. Unfortunately, Mr. Obama romanticizes Islam and refuses to accept reality, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent people across the world.

Groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda have one goal, the complete destruction of the Judeo-Christian culture, our religions and our way of life.

Many Americans have families that have been here for decades, even centuries. Many families like mine have relatives who fought in the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm. Some families have relatives who fought in the American Revolution.

We don’t plan on letting our country be devoured by Muslim maniacs. We are Americans sir, and not unarmed, socialist European zombies. We will do what is necessary to protect the United States. While many Democrats and liberals see the world through rose colored glasses, conservatives understand that there is good and evil in this world. Evil must be destroyed before it destroys us.

Strong measures, wartime measures, must be taken to protect this country from those that wish to annihilate us and our way of life.

Mr. Trump’s plan to temporarily halt immigration from Muslim countries that are known to either support terrorism or harbor terrorist groups is not only pragmatic, but indeed it is constitutional. It is the constitutional duty of the president of the United States to protect this nation.

There is simply no way to vet hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees from war zones like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Europe is being destroyed because reckless leaders like Angela Merkel have opened the continent’s doors to a flood of over one million undocumented Muslims arriving with nothing more than a bad attitude and a haversack of Jihad.

Do you think Americans are stupid? While the left lives in a dream world, the right does not. Mr. Trump understands the threat to his nation and the threat, sir, is not from Swedish Lutherans named Anna and Lars. The threat, sir, is from radical Islam.

How in God’s name are U.S. immigration authorities supposed to know the true intentions of a 22-year-old Syrian man? It is impossible. You know it is impossible.

How in God’s name are U.S. immigration authorities supposed to know the true intentions of hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees and thousands of other sundry Muslims who wish to arrive on our shores?

It is impossible. You know it is impossible.

Whether you, your wife, the Muslim world and millions of Democrats are offended by Mr. Trump’s realistic view of the world is irrelevant.

Whether you, your wife and son would have been prohibited from emigrating from Pakistan to America under Mr. Trump’s wartime plan is irrelevant. The security of this great land supersedes your desires and the desires of others who wish to come here now. The United States of America has no obligation to open its doors in order to placate foreigners and liberals in our government.

To adopt any other course but Mr. Trump’s would be a cause for further endangering the lives of Americans every day. That, sir, is unacceptable.

You attacked Mr. Trump in front of a worldwide audience, yet you can’t understand the fact that he defends himself against attacks from you, Hillary Clinton and the left. What else is one to do sir?

We must live in a world of reality, not a world of denial, delusion and fantasy the Democrats inhabit every waking day of their lives.

Radical Islam is the enemy of everyone on this planet who believes in freedom and justice. Until it is destroyed, this nation must protect itself from enemies both foreign and domestic.

Sincerely,

Ray Starmann

The Donald's response to the Kahns was about as bad as it could get. I could immediately think of quite a few things I would have said that wouldn't have started a crap storm.

He reacted exactly the way the dems wanted. They're going to keep hauling out victims to cut him down & he's going to feel like he has to counter attack every one of them. He can't let himself get hung up on this stuff. He needs to stay focused on the issues & exposing the hag's failures, instead of battling every pipsqueak the dems put on stage to distract him.

Go ahead and whine some more. We'll wait until you're finished, then the thread will proceed.

I've find these people quite shameful if you want to know the truth.

+1

This is a minor incident, I don't find anything extremely awful about it all. Just a bump on the road, most of it created by the drive-by media.

No, it's the end, the flameout everyone knew was bound to happen, Voters are fleeing The Donald in droves, all the while shouting "Horrible Man! Horrible Man!!"

10 days from now, you'll have to remind people of this...whatever you call it.

All this "It's hers to lose. It's his to lose." Can we please stow that stuff? All these grandiose predictions. My, my. Someone, call George Will.

The end is near? Says who? The media? Fuck the media.

GO TRUMP!!!

Interesting. I was just looking up SFTT (Soldiers For The Truth) yesterday to see what the website was like these days. The last time I checked them out was shortly after Col. Hackworth died. The site of old doesn't seem to exist anymore which is a shame because when Hack was alive they were good about taking people to task for stolen valor, and bringing to light a lot of the stupid and corrupt deeds made by politicians - both in and out of the Services. Wish Hack was still with us.

Anyway, back to the topic - Go Trump!!

I don't give a shit if Donald says something that offends people.

I am offended at what the takers and enemies in my own country have done.

If someone jumps ship over a statement or comment that is without substance, good riddance to you.

Most of what Trump says is what the majority of Americans are thinking but are too PC to admit. The media is PC beyond anything so of course it's all bad news to them. I've been of the opinion for a while now that Trump is going to be everybody's dirty little secret. They'll close that curtain on election day and pull the lever for him, then say "oh I don't talk about politics" when asked who they voted for. That's OK by me as long as they vote for Trump.

Has Karl Rove said The Donald is going to win? If so, that's the kiss of death for Trump, 'cause that melon farmer can't predict jack shit.

Looks like a big post-convention bounce for Hillary.

Nate Silver, who had given the Donald a 65% chance of winning a few days ago now has the race at an 82.2% chance of Hillary winning.

Seems to me that a forecast with such wild swings is not worth very much, at least at this point in time.

Now we'll see if Hillary's bounce lasts. Donald isnt helping himself very much. He either needs to start acting more presidential or start ramping up his attacks on the media for their over-hyped and slanted coverage of his campaign. His core supporters are attracted to his non-PC take no prisoners style, but if the media is continually blaring negative stories about this or that comment he made, he will lose supporters on the margins. He needs to be giving people a reason to believe he is an acceptable alternative. He can't keep acting like a crazy, drunk uncle.

Was what he said a lie. No, it was the truth.

Remember back last week when people were afraid that the press was going to ignore Trump? Someone started a thread to that effect. Well he has truly proven that concern to be 100% wrong.

Along with Dick Morris...

Some info on Kahn. I'd say Trump is spot on again.

The Muslim who attacked Donald Trump, Khizr Muazzam Khan, is a Muslim Brotherhood agent, working to bring Muslims into the United States. After reading what we discovered so far, it becomes obvious that Khan wanted to ‘trump’ Trump’s Muslim immigration policy of limiting Muslim immigration into the U.S.

But not so fast. Trump we have your back.

Khizr Muazzam Khan graduated in Punjab University Law College, as the New York Times confirms. He specialized in International Trade Law in Saudi Arabia. An interest lawyer for Islamic oil companies Khan wrote a paper, called In Defense of OPEC to defend the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), an intergovernmental oil company consisting of mainly Islamic countries.

But more than this, Khan is a promoter of Islamic Sharia Law in the U.S. He was a co-founder of the Journal of Contemporary Issues in Muslim Law (Islamic Sharia). Khan’s fascination with Islamic Sharia stems from his life in Saudi Arabia. During the eighties Khan wrote a paper titled Juristic Classification of Islamic [Sharia] Law. In it he elucidated on the system of Sharia law expressing his reverence for “The Sunnah [the works of Muhammad] — authentic tradition of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).” A snapshot of his essay can be seen here:

But Khan’s fascination with Islam isn’t the only issue. What is more worrisome is that at the bottom of the intro, Khan shows his appreciation and the source of his work and gives credit to an icon of the Muslim Brotherhood:


“The contribution to this article of S. Ramadan’s writing is greatly acknowledged.”

This alone speaks volumes. Khan used the works of S. Ramadan to lay his foundation for his inspiration regarding the promotion of Sharia. S. Ramadan is Said Ramadan, head of the Islamic Center in Geneva and a major icon of the Muslim Brotherhood, the grandson of Hassan Al-Banna the founder and hero of the Muslim Brotherhood which spread terrorism throughout the world.

While we did not read Khan’s book (they charge and we do not want to support this evil agenda) it becomes crucial to mention more on Khan’s icon and who Said Ramadan was.

Ramadan was a writer who wrote material for the Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia, an organization that has been promoting Islamic revivalism and indoctrination to recruit young people in Malaysia to jihadism. It is actually a Malaysian branch of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Khan’s fascination for Muslim Brotherhood icon and Islamic Sharia stems from Ramadan’s book Islamic Law: Its Scope and Equity, which Khan gleaned from to do his work giving credit to Ramadan. A version of it was published for the Malaysian Muslim Youth Movement (a branch of WAMY):

WAMY is the World Association of Muslim Youth which was created through the collaboration of the Wahhabist and Muslim Brotherhood led by Said Ramadan who was, again, the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood including Ahmad Bahefzallah, the boss of Huma Abedin (Hillary Clinton’s aid) and her parents Sayed Z. Abedin (father) and Saleha Mahmoud Abedin (mother). It was also financed by the wealthy Abdullah Omar Naseef, another boss of the Abedin family who was an Al-Qaeda financier.

Again, Khan wrote his Sharia Law supporting work in the eighties while he was in Saudi Arabia, the motherland of Wahhabism. This would never be possible unless Khan clearly had the support of the Saudi Wahhabist religious institution. We took a snapshot of the text:

While there is so much to glean from his work, time is of the essence, but Khan’s travel according to a recent report, he moved from Pakistan to the United Arab Emirates, a hotbed for the Muslim Brotherhood. Currently he runs a law firm in New York City calledKM Khan Law Office. According to the website, the the law firm specializes in “immigration services” to bring Muslims into the U.S., which presents a clash with Trump’s suggested policy to limit Muslim immigration into the U.S.

To understand the inception of Muslim immigration one must study the Muslim Minority Affairs, a paradigm and an Islamic jurisprudence created by Saudi Arabia which sparked during the times Khan lived in Saudi Arabia while collaborating with the Saudi kingdom.

Khan needs further study and analysis to see how his connect with Hillary Clinton’s campaign since he serves the interest of Muslim oil companies as well as Muslim immigration into the U.S. Intelius reveals Khizr M. Khan used to work for Hogan & Hartson and Lovells, which has ties to the Clinton Foundation:

Saudi interests with using Khan to advance Muslim immigration and advance Muslim Sharia is a lengthy subject which has ties to Hillary Clinton’s aid Huma Abedin as well. It will take hours of reading just to cover this topic on how it was The House of Saud’s “Muslim Minority Affairs” and the Abedins (Huma Abedin and family) that played a central role in using Muslim immigration to infiltrate the west with Wahhbi agenda. The House of Saud had used Huma’s father Sayed Zaynul Abedin’s work regarding the Muslim Minority Affairs in the West, published in 1998 as part of 29 works to construct a plan to conquer the U.S. with Islam. It is obvious that Khan is upset, that a Trump victory will eliminate and destroy decades of hard work to bring in Islamic immigration into the United States which was spearheaded by agents in Saudi Arabia like Khan and Huma Abedin and family (Sayed Z. Abedin) which we translated excerpts from his work.

In regards to his son and his sacrifice, on the other side of the coin, many were the ‘Muslim martyrs’ who joined the US military. Ali Abdul Saoud Mohamed, for example, enlisted in the Special Forces of the US Army; he was a double agent for Al-Qaeda. How about Hasan K. Akbar, a Muslim American soldier who murdered and injured fifteen soldiers. There was Bowe Bergdahl, an American Muslim soldier who deserted his men to join the Taliban, a desertion which led to six American being ambushed and killed while they were on the search looking for him. And of course the example of Nidal Malik Hassan, who murdered fourteen Americans in cold blood in Fort Hood. What about infiltration into the U.S. military like Taha Jaber Al-Alwani, a major Muslim thinker for theMuslim Minority Affairs, an icon of the Abedin family (Hillary’s aid Human) who, while he served in U.S. military, called on arming Muslims to fight the U.S? Al-Alwani is an IMMA (Institute of Muslims Minority Affairs) favorite, Taha Jaber al-Alwani, whom the Abedins say is the source for their doctrine (see Abedins-Mein-Kampf) is an ardent anti-Semitewho by the way, runs the United States Department of Defense program (out of all places) for training Muslim military chaplains in the U.S. military.



In a nutshell, The Muslim Minority Affairs program is part of a grand plan to destroy America from within, exactly as what the Muslim Brotherhood planned, which was exposed in the HLF trial.

I can go on and on. These Muslim soldiers were “heroes” of course, until the snow melted later on. Is it likely that Khan’s son was killed before the snow melted? Only another type of investigation will determine that. Do they ever mention how many soldiers have died because of Muslim traitors? Do they ever bring up how many Christians in the US military were killed? Yet the modernists and homosexuals continue to attack Christians. But soon everything we need to know will be uncovered as a Middle Eastern proverb says: the snow always melts and the sh*t under it will soon be revealed.

This guy Khan is dirty. Not simply a father grieving his son. And the MSM are stumbling around with this story trying to make middle America care about this bullshit.

Trump is correct. Again.

I think Nate Silver would agree. The poll is more of a simulation, and it's really aggressive. Nate has said this far out from the election, it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Regardless, considering how useless most polls are, Hes more accurate than most.

I'm looking forward to the "October Surprise" that will put Trump over the top.

Trump might be right, but you can be right about a losing proposition. Trump might be right when he fights with Rosey O'Donnell, right when he fights with Megan Kelly-- but who gives a shit? What people care about is the border. The economy. Bad trade deals. Terrorism. The attacks on police. Health care.

Trump will fight publicly with anyone who publicly insults him, and he has to stop doing that, because it not only distracts, it detracts from the important messages. If Obama attacks you, Donald, fight back. If Paul Ryan attacks you, fight back. If this father attacks you, or any other really minor character on the political stage-- walk away.

"I honor the Muslim US Army Captain who sacrificed his life for his men. And I sympathize with his grieving parents. But let's not mix up very different issues. Under President Obama-- and it will continue or even increase if Hillary becomes president-- we have a flood of Syrians, Iraqis and others that we know nothing about. This at a time when radical Islamists have slaughtered Americans in Orlando and San Bernadino, to name just the two most recent terrorist strikes. I have said that we need to temporarily put that kind of immigration on hold until we can properly vet those who are entering, and be sure we are not admitting extremists who will kill us." End of story. Let it all go no matter who says what. Stay focused on the issues Americans are desperately concerned about.
