Did Trump go too far?
cnn ^

Posted on 08/01/2016 8:35:11 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.

Define "good" Muslims. I'm not sure there are any.

Good American Muslim: I repudiate Sharia in every way. It has no authority or relevance in America. I have no allegiance except to the United States. I will defend Her against all enemies foreign or domestic.

How in anyone’s rational mind can speaking the truth about anyone or anything be going too far unless one is of Satan? It boils down to how something is phrased and if someone gets offended by the truth, well, that's their problem.

Trump made an error here.

No flames, just an alternative hypothesis. It seems to me that this year in particular, there are virtually no errors to be made denouncing Moslem terrorists. Feels like every time the talking snowflakes blame the Donald for an anti-Moslem tweet, within an hour or two there's a news report about another suicide bombing or Muzzie murder spree.

By election day, I think being known to voters as "the guy who wants to keep Moslems out of America" will be a big advantage.

So stop calling us deranged mass murderers - or else we'll send suicide bombers into your midst!

Khan said it is good Muslims who are the ones who can help stop terror and make American safer.
Even though they haven't done any such thing so far...

And how does he know that?

He's a recruiter.

He also is an IMMIGRATION lawyer who makes his bucks bringing in Mooselimbs. Coincidence? I think not!

That very close tie pretty much invalidates Khan's claims. And that was why the Muslim Brotherhood was thrown out of power in Egypt--even in that country, many don't want to deal with Muslim Brotherhood with its ties to al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Think about this for a moment.

If what a person says makes another person want to go cut the heads off people, do terrible things to women and children, commit mass killings, then the person who was supposedly "offended" is seriously screwed up. We don't want people who react that easily over words in our country. Hillary and Obama drive me nutz, yet I go to work each day, live my live as normal, what is wrong with the left's claim, do you see it? They are admitting the they very thing that we all know, a large portion of these folks are ticking time bombs ...

Yep; recommended reading: The River War (Annotated) Kindle Edition by Winston Churchill

It's apparent Obunga or VJ knew of Churchill's writings and likely the reason America's gift from England, a bust of Churchill, was supposedly return to England.

I think Trump already knew about this guy, that is the reason he ask him if his wife was aloud to speak

If mere words from an American political candidate inspire Muslims to commit to become terrorist bombers, that is helpful news to us.
It fortuitously smokes 'em out and lures them into the open...rather than hiding among civilians and certainly more difficult to find.
Great, let them travel to remote desert training camps where they can be observed via satellites and drones to then be promptly neutralized.

“Khan said it is good Muslims who are the ones who can help stop terror and make American safer.”

Is there such a thing?

If there is they’ve absolutely sucked at doing anything except supporting and excusing the Muslims creating terror around the world. So dude, I think you are a big fat nasty liar, who actually wants to turn this country into an Islamic Hell-Hole. Go F yourself.
