Washington (CNN)Donald Trump's criticism about the Muslim parents of a slain American soldier has generated -- once again -- a backlash within his own party.
Just 100 days from the election, Trump has responded in his standard fashion -- dig in, claim he's being treated unfairly and attack back. But the swift condemnation of Trump's response raises questions about whether this controversy is different from the ones that came before it. It certainly isn't going away - Khizr and Ghazala Khan appeared for a lengthy joint interview on CNN's "New Day" on Monday where Khizr accused Trump of "ignorance and arrogance." Khan also said he's received an outpouring of support for speaking out against the GOP presidential candidate, including from many Republicans. And he warned that Trump's attacks on Muslims are boosting terror recruitment. Khan said it is good Muslims who are the ones who can help stop terror and make American safer. "We are the solution to terrorism," Khan said on CNN Monday. Trump tweeted during the interview that the issue was not the Khans, it was stopping the spread of radical Islamic terrorism.

I noticed you are a post and run FReeper. Care to comment on your own post for a change and why you think this needed to be posted?
Khan said it is good Muslims who are the ones who can help stop terror and make American safer. “We are the solution to terrorism,”
Didn’t the French concert Killer move about freely in his MUSLIM neighborhood in Belgium AFTER BEING IDENTIFIED? No one turned him in. No one reported him. I guess that means there is NO GOOD MUSLIMS in that area.
Khan is afraid the truth will come out.
Donald needs to keep hammering this disgusting man & his attempt to bring Sharia Law to America. He uses his son’s death for his own agenda. Donald had nothing to do with his son’s death.

Ba-BAM!
So what was the father trying to tell us? That muslims didn’t kill Americans on 911 or the dozens of other terrorist attacks?
And would like so see the father condemn the Muslim killers.
The world would do well to head Churchill’s warning!
When cnn asks that, they obviously mean “YES”.
And the day after that. And the day after that. And the...
What is this, about the 473rd time that CNN has said that The Donald has gone “too far”?
And yet, just about every time, The Donald has bounced right back and even advanced a little.
The Donald studied the tactics and strategies of Saul Alinsky, and adapted them to his own advantage. Apparently the tactics work on just about any agenda a person might want to advance, and are even more effective if the agenda is already something people, down in their heart of hearts, really wanted all along.
Maybe he didn’t go too far enough.
(And it shows that the MSM is not interested in "doing their homework" to find out the truth. That's why Clinton Cash is so devastating to the Clinton campaign--Peter Schweizer carefully checked his sources on the situations in Africa and Haiti.)
Says the muslim brotherhood stooge.
Yes. The father of a slain soldier should be left alone. Trump’s actions here will not will him any votes with the independents he needs.
Yes, the father started this squabble. And yes, the father is an Islamist. And yes, democrats attack veterans all the time and get away with it.
But it’s not a level playing field. So conservatives have to play it very smart at all times. Trump made an error here.
