The rude Pakistani's power play won't play in Trumpland

I think that when the Democrats decided who their speakers would be, they failed to take account of the impression that they would make on White Americans -- with whom they are grossly out of step. Having a Muslim woman in foreign garb on their podium is not going to help them.

I find Khan's claim that he "sacrificed" rather pretentious, since nobody signs up in the US military expecting to be killed. It's a little bit like saying that the victims of an airplane-crash sacrificed their lives for aviation.
Khan Senior implied that Arlington Cemetery was chock-full of Muslim war-dead. ABC News, however, says that only 14 Muslims in the US military were KIA in the decade after 9-11. That's statistically insignificant, since the total American KIA figure is in the thousands.
 
Even the number of civilian news-media people killed in Iraq dwarfs the number of Muslims in US uniform killed.

My feeling is Trump will win and probably in a landslide.  I do not think Khan is helping Muslims.  If I was a Muslim and my concern was for all Muslims, I would vote for Trump.  The thing I don't see in this article by Carolyn is the fact that the war between Islam (in the form of terrorists) and the west, led by the US, is completely the fault of the US.  It wasn't Muslims poking their noses into the USA's business that started this war.  As usual, it was the US getting involved in something thousands of miles from the country.    
 
We can start with the US recognizing Israel immediately after the Jews stole Palestinian land in 1948.  Then, beginning in 1967 the Arabs arch-enemy Israel began receiving over 3 billion dollars annually from the US, becoming the number one recipient of American foreign aid every year since 1967.  In 1973 another war broke out between the Jews and Arabs and Israel was in danger of being pushed into the sea.  Unfortunately that didn't happen.  The US intervened on Israel's side and possibly saved their hide.  Does anyone remember the long gas lines in 1973 and gas doubling in price to 50 cents per gallon?  That was because OPEC, led by Arab countries, objected to the US intervening against the Arabs in the war and embargoed the west.  In 1979 the US made a big to do when Iran overthrew the Shah that the US helped put in place 26 years earlier when they overthrew the Iranian gov't with spies in the US embassy, the exact place where 50 Americans were held so they couldn't repeat the act in 1979.  In the 1980's Rumsfeld met with Saddam Hussein (film can be seen on youtube), shook Saddam's hand and made arrangements to help Saddam in his war against Iran.  In 1988 the US deliberately shot down an Iranian civillian airline killing over three hundred people.  Then President Bush refused to apologize, saying the US doens't apologize to anyone.  In 1991 the US attaced Iraq.  Because Americans love Arabs so much, or so was claimed at this moment, they wanted to help Kuwait.  So they attacked Iraq, whose leader Rumsfeld met and helped only eight years earlier, stabbing their fomer ally in the back.  The first thing Saddam did in the 1991 war after being attacked was launch missiles at Israel, knowing the real reason his country was attacked.  In 2001, if the official 911 story is to be believed, the Arabs finally struck back at the US.  In 2003 the US used this as an excuse to attack Iraq and have its leader and their former ally brutally murdered.  They blew up Afghanistam again.  The US destroyed Libya and had its leader murdered and now the US is helping terrorists in an attempt to overthrow Syria's leader Assad.  None of this has helped the US or Europe.  It has only helped Israel and has been a disaster for Europe with a tidal wave of terrorists and refugees arriving on its shores.  The US is fully responsible for any terrorism Americans suffer under.  
     
When you have the full force of the media behind you, it doesn’t require much courage to shoot your big mouth off with such audacity. Khan is an immigrant to the US, complaining the US won’t let more of his people into the country when there is essentially a state of war between the US and the west against Muslim countries. Could anyone imagine a Frenchmen, American, Englishman or someone else going to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or any other Islamic country and criticizing the country for not allowing their people into that country? Of course not. Only western, white populated countries invite millions of immigrants into their countries.
 
Now, if Mr. Khan had any real courage he would criticize the murderous policies of the Jewish dominated USA that has destroyed much of the middle east, killed millions of innocents, caused a humanitarian disaster flooding Europe with immigrants as well as terrorists and benefitted only one country – Israel. But if Mr. Khan criticized this, the media would give him no coverage and you most likely would have never heard of him. And if he somehow got into the media and criticized Jews for their role in the mass murder of Muslims, he wouldn’t be a hero to the Jew media, but an enemy and treated as such with the label “anti-Semite” affixed to him.
 
So the coward Mr. Khan supports the mass murderer Clinton who serves the Jews and presumably to support Muslim immigration to the US, while saying nothing about the mass murder carried out under her and other American leaders. I don’t understand Muslims or Arabs at all. They are either completely disorganized or stupid. They speak out, seemingly in solidarity with Islam on the one hand, while supporting a mass murderer of Muslims on the other. Not that Trump is perfect. Far from it. But he opposes the terrorists in Syria and supports the right of Syrians to keep their elected leader Assad and he appears far less likely to continue the policy to murder masses of Muslims that has been US policy up until now, even after Obama was given a Nobel Prize indicating he would stop it.
 
If Hillary is elected, it is a very good bet there will be many more deaths in the middle east. With Trump there is a chance some sanity will prevail in American foreign policy.

At the outset let it be said unequivocally that this entire "Captain Khan Affair" is manufactured outrage and that it will fade away like the Mexican Judge, Juan McCaine POW, and "New Jersey Muslims dancing in the streets 9/11" outrages before it. Further, if Trump sticks to his guns and refuses to grovel, apologize and ass kiss---it will bring in thousands and thousands of new voters.
 
The controlled press/media is still beating the drum of inclusion and multiculturalism, advising Trump that he must appeal to La teen ohs and Muhammadans in order to win---but the very opposite is true. He must ignore them, because he will NEVER gain any traction with the gibsmedat population.
 
I do, of course, feel compassion for the Khans in the loss of their son--- but I'm also sickened they used his corpse for political purposes, and very likely to promote elder Khan's green card business. Mr. Khan, In the name of decency and honour, and the memory of your son, please leave the stage; stop giving these unseemly, hateful interviews.
 
Khan waves a pamphlet copy of the US Constitution and accuses Trump of "ignorance" of its contents, but what exactly is Khan waving about? The only possible items would be "no establishment" and "no religious tests". How do these translate into unlimited Muhammadan immigration? Khan should read a bit of US history; in the 19th Century polygamists were not allowed to enter the country. Ditto Chinese tongs and djoosh radicals.

A soldier was killed 12 years ago and his parents claim the right to come on to the national stage and defame a good man. That is called free speech. This is unconscionable, to use the soldier's death to make a political statement and then to silence any objection by claiming to be a grieving family. (There is a time for grieving.) Is this what their son would have wanted? They claim the right of free speech and then deny any response because they are grieving. Let all the parents and families of those buried at Arlington rise up in protest that their lives didn't matter. Only the Muslim lives matter. But the issue here is vetting and how to do it. Vetting has nothing to do with whether or not you are a Muslim or a Irishman, but whether or not you are a terrorist. Muslims should rise up in support of stopping terrorists from doing the murder. That is the issue, because terrorists are not coming here seeking the American way of life. Mr. Khan doesn't seem to know anything about Islam, either. Free speech is allowed in America that is true. But someday when Islam becomes the majority the law will be different. That is the hope of Islam, that all will submit to ALLAH.
