Mr. Khan, Im waiting for you to answer my charges or document when you publicly opposed the mistreatment of Muslim women. I will apologize if you have renounced your previous support for sharia law and the Muslim Brotherhood
During the last few days, the media have been hyperventilating over the Trump-Khan controversy; but of course, they prefer dealing with that rather than Clintons compulsive lying! Furthermore, it seems to be acceptable for Hillary to call Patricia Smith (who lost her son in Benghazi because of Hillarys incompetence) a liar after Smiths speech at the RNC convention. The media is strangely silent about that attack upon a grieving mother but then, she is not a Democrat. That is further unneeded proof that the mainstream media is composed of sanctimonious hypocrites.
There is no disagreement, discussion, or debate over the fact that Captain Khan was a competent, courageous, and committed hero of whom his parents and all Americans should be immensely proud.
Yes there is disagreement. Captain Khan did something stupid by lining his men up next to the perimeter fence in a war zone, and getting them (and himself) killed when the car bomb on the other side of the fence blew up. IEDs were a known problem in that area.
Considering the father's viewpoint on muslims fighting muslims on behalf of the USA, this could have been a planned act to get the son on the right side of his father and the right side of Islam.
It also could have been extremely poor situational awareness. It was not competence.
