    Ghazala Khan, whose son, U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, was killed in 2004, bristled at Trump’s implication she was silent because she, as a Muslim woman, had not been allowed to speak.

    “When Donald Trump is talking about Islam, he is ignorant,” she wrote in a Washington Post opinion piece. “Donald Trump said he has made a lot of sacrifices. He doesn’t know what the word sacrifice means.”

    Stop listening to these few exceptions. If these parents really loved this country they would want to stop it from developing the same problems as Europe. So some Muslims made sacrifices, we are better off without those sacrifices and without the terrorists who are very difficult to weed out.

    Instead of attacking Trump she should attack the rest of the Muslim Brotherhood and the supporters of (state sponsored)) terrorism.

    So why was she up there? Yes it is unfortunate that their son was killed, as was thousands of soldiers. Their loss is not more because they are Muslim.

    and even if there are not any hasidic war heroes, over the years there have been many many jewish american war heroes. Many. I don’t see them being singled out as heroes because they were Jewish. They were Americans fighting for America. Its time these Muslims learned that as well. Be American and Respect America!!!

    Believe me, Trump and the rest of us are well aware of that religion. That’s what these old bats are worried about. They put themselves in the limelight, now they’re taking heat.
