An Open Letter to Khizr Khan

This guy nailed it. Original source at the link below.

http://bit.ly/2aqFBAY

Dear Mr. Khan,

I want to preface this letter by stating that I respect your son’s sacrifice for this great nation. By all accounts, he is a true hero that sacrificed himself in service to our country. For that I am thankful.

As a veteran, I watched your comments at the Democratic National Convention with a mixture of sadness, and anger. The United States has a military comprised of volunteers. Every single member has made the conscious choice to join the military and serve. There is not a single service member who has been forced into service. It is important for all service members (and apparently, their families) to understand that service to this great nation does not imbue one with special privileges or rights. I found your comments troubling when you said: “Have you ever been to Arlington cemetery? Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one.”

Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has sacrificed “…nothing and no one?”…has Ms. Clinton “..sacrificed” for this nation? How about Mr. Obama? Your comment stating that Mr. Trump “…has sacrifice no one” is alarming. Are you intimating that YOU sacrificed? Sir, your son willingly sacrificed himself. As a father I cannot imagine the pain you must feel but his sacrifice is his own. He was not forced to serve.

I am troubled that you would allow a party that has little more than contempt for the US Service Member to parade you into the DNC to denounce Donald Trump. Did you watch when protesters at the DNC booed and heckled Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Florent Groberg? Did you notice your party interrupting the moment of silence for slain police officers? Your own hypocrisy in not denouncing these acts and instead using the DNC as a platform to make a political point is disgraceful. The simple fact is that whether one served or sacrificed does not give greater power to their statements. One vote is as valuable as another. That sir, is why our Country is great. Your condemnation of one person for a statement while standing idly as your party disparages veterans and police officers is the height of hypocrisy.

To conflate the need to prevent potential terrorists from entering our country with the belief that ‘all Muslims’ should be banned is simply wrong and disingenuous. As a reminder, Mr. Trump said: ” “Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” The irony of your son’s own death at the hands of these very people in Iraq should not be ignored. I have little doubt that your son would have recognized the need to protect our country from these very people. In fact, he held is own troops back so that he could check on a suspicious car. Your son understood sacrifice and how to protect “his people”…’his soldiers’….’his fellow Americans’…

As you continue to make the media circuit and bask in the glow of affection cast upon you by a party that has little regard for your son’s own sacrifice, and veterans in general, I would ask you to consider your comments and your position more closely.

Respectfully,

Chris Mark

US Marine and Navy Veteran.

This Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer Saudi plant can piss off. This is probably the best example of Taqiya in action.

http://shoebat.com/2016/07/31/what-t...united-states/

Quote:
Khizr Muazzam Khan graduated in Punjab University Law College, as theNew York Times confirms. and he specialized in International Trade Law in Saudi Arabia. An interest lawyer for Islamic oil companies Khan*wrote*a paper, called*In Defense of OPEC*to defend the*Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC),*an intergovernmental oil company consisting of mainly Islamic countries. *Khan is a promoter of Islamic Sharia Law. Khan is also co-founder of the*Journal of Contemporary Issues in Muslim Law (Islamic Sharia). *

Khan’s fascination with Islamic Sharia stems from his life in Saudi Arabia. During the eighties Khan*wrote a paper titled*Juristic Classification of Islamic. In it he elucidated on the system of Sharia law expressing his reverence for “The Sunnah [the works of Muhammad] — authentic tradition of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).” *A*snapshot of his essay can be seen here:

At the bottom of the page, Khan*shows his appreciation*for an icon of the Muslim Brotherhood: “The contribution to this article of S. Ramadan’s writing is greatly acknowledged.” S. Ramadan is Said Ramadan, head of the Islamic Center in Geneva and a major icon of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Said Ramadan, Muslim Brotherhood agent

Ramadan*was a writer who wrote material for the Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia, an organization that has been promoting Islamic revivalism and indoctrination to recruit young people in Malaysia to jihadism. It is actually a Malaysian branch of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Ramadan wrote a book called,*Islamic Law: Its Scope and Equity,*and a version of it was published for the Malaysian Muslim Youth Movement (a branch of WAMY):

World*Association of Muslim Youth (WAMY) was*created through the collaboration of the Wahhabist and Muslim Brotherhood led by Said Ramadan*who was the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood including Ahmad Bahefzallah, the boss of Huma Abedin (Hillary Clinton’s aid) and her parents*Mahmoud and Saleha Abedin. It was also*financed by the wealthy Abdullah Omar Naseef,*another boss*of the Abedin family.

Said Ramadan, Khan’s*source for his writing, was major leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt,*according to*the Islamic scholar, Kemal A. Faruki. We took a snapshot of Faruki’s statement on Ramadan:

Khan*wrote the paper in the eighties while he was in Saudi Arabia, the motherland of Wahhabism, which means that Khan*clearly had a Wahabist connection. We took a snapshot of the text:

According to a recent report,*Khan moved from Pakistan to the United Arab Emirates, a hotbed for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Khan*currently runs a law firm in New York City called*KM Khan Law Office. According to the website, the the law firm specializes in “immigration services.” Most likely Khan*was working to bring Muslims into the country.

To understand the inception of Muslim immigration one must study the Muslim Minority Affairs, a paradigm created by Saudi jurisprudence which sparked during the times Khan lived in Saudi Arabia while collaborating with the Saudi kingdom.

It is likely*that Khan*is a Muslim plant working with the Hillary Clinton campaign, probably for the interest of Muslim oil companies as well as Muslim immigration into the U.S.

Intelius*reveals*Khizr M. Khan used to work for Hogan & Hartson and Lovells, which*has ties to the Clinton Foundation:

“Hogan Lovells LLP, another U.S. firm hired by the Saudis, is registered to work for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia through 2016, disclosures show. Robert Kyle, a lobbyist from the firm, has bundled $50,850 for Clinton’s campaign”

“Many lawyers at Hogan Lovells remember the week in 2004*when U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan lost his life to a suicide bomber. Then-Hogan & Hartson attorneys mourned the death because the soldier’s father, Khizr Khan, a Muslim American immigrant, was among their beloved colleagues”

Saudi interests with using Khan to advance Muslim immigration and advance Muslim Sharia is a lengthy subject. And it has ties to Hillary Clinton’s aid Huma Abedin as well. It will take hours of reading just to cover this topic on how it was*The House of Saud’s*“Muslim Minority Affairs”*and*the Abedins (Huma Abedin and family) that played a central role in using Muslim immigration to infiltrate*the west with Wahhbi agenda. The House of Saud had used Huma’s father Sayed Zaynul Abedin’s work regarding the*Muslim Minority Affairs in the West, published in 1998 as part of 29 works to construct a plan to conquer the U.S.*with Islam. It is obvious that Khan is upset, that a Trump victory will eliminate and destroy decades of hard work to bring in Islamic immigration into the United States which was spearheaded by agents in Saudi Arabia like Khan and Huma Abedin’a father (Sayed Z. Abedin).

You can study this here which includes links, evidences, photocopies, history … everything

In regards to his son, many were the ‘Muslim martyrs’ who joined the US*military. Ali Abdul Saoud Mohamed, for example, enlisted in the Special Forces of the US Army; he was a double working for the US and Al-Qaeda. There is also the example of Hasan K Akbar, a Muslim American soldier who murdered and injured fifteen soldiers. There was Bowe Bergdahl, an American Muslim soldier who deserted his men to join the Taliban, a desertion which led to six*American being ambushed and killed while they were on the search looking for him.*And of course the example Nidal Malik Hassan, who murdered fourteen Americans in cold blood in Fort Hood. What about Taha Jaber Al-Alwani, a major Muslim thinker for the Muslim Minority Affairs who called on arming Muslims to fight America?*An IMMA (Institute of Muslims Minority Affairs) favorite, Taha Jaber al-Alwani, whom the Abedins say is the source for their doctrine is*an ardent anti-Semite*who by the way, runs the United States Department of Defense program (out of all places) for training Muslim military chaplains in the U.S. military. We translated some of his quotes on the issue of The Muslim Minority Affairs:

“… it [MMA, Muslim Minority Affairs] is a Jurisprudence for a group confned to its special circumstances which is allowed what others are not. Its exercise needs an understanding of social sciences, especially sociology, economics, political science and international relations… for the fundamentals of success for the Muslim Minority Jurisprudence it must adhere to the collective earth concept.” [link from Arabic here]

Alwani, a man commissioned by our government, even calls for a soon-to-be military conquest and provides an offcial fatwa in preparation for the use of force:

“Commitment to the Quranic concept of Geography:*The land belongs to Allah, his religion is Islam, and every country is already in the House of Islam—now in the present time—since*they will be in the House of Islam by force in the near future. The whole of humanity is a Muslim Nation: it is either ‘the religion of the nation’ which has embraced this religion [Islam], or a ‘proselyte nation’ we are obliged to conquer.” (Alwani, The Jurisprudence of Muslim Minority Affairs. No. 7, translated from Arabic by Shoebat.com)

What part of “they will be in the House of Islam by force in the near future” don’t these democrats understand? More dead Americans?

I can go on and on. Is it likely that Khan’s son was killed before his Islamist mission was accomplished? Only another type of investigation will determine that. *Do they ever mention how many soldiers have died because of Muslim traitors?*Do they ever bring up how many*Christians in the US military were killed? Yet the modernists and homosexuals continue to attack Christians. But soon everything we need to know will be uncovered. As we say in the Middle East:*the snow always melts and the sh*t*under it will soon be revealed.

BTW, Trump saying that he, too, has sacrificed shows how much of a douche he is. That's French.

The response is poignant, and makes salient points ... but it does not belie the facts that Trump is a liar (made obvious by his contradictory televised statements), a con man (witness the Trump University lawsuit where he swindled hundreds, if not thousands, of middle class Americans seeking a better life through education), and a bully (he never apologizes for being wrong, but leverages his money to attack people who confront him with the truth). As a consequence, it is lost in the cacophony of noise that is Donald Trump.

Unfortunately, we have no better alternative in Hillary Clinton, who is an opportunist, a beyotch (altered spelling to protect innocent ears), and no leader.

Consequently, I agree with Divemaster. I will not vote for either, but that is my choice.

Khizr Khan, just another sunni muslim piece of shit

I take back the remark that he was a DNC tool........ he's a sunni piece of shit and mouthpiece for the shit-hole called Saudi Arabia.




Clinton Cash: Khizr Khan’s Deep Legal, Financial Connections to Saudi Arabia, Hillary’s Clinton Foundation Tie Terror, Immigration, Email Scandals Together
by MATTHEW BOYLE1 Aug 2016Washington, DC

Khizr Khan, the Muslim Gold Star father that the mainstream media and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been using to criticize Donald J. Trump, has deep ties to the government of Saudi Arabia—and to international Islamist investors through his own law firm. In addition to those ties to the wealthy Islamist nation, Khan also has ties to controversial immigration programs that wealthy foreigners can use to essentially buy their way into the United States—and has deep ties to the “Clinton Cash” narrative through the Clinton Foundation.
Khan and his wife Ghazala Khan both appeared on stage at the Democratic National Convention to attack, on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s behalf, Donald Trump—the Republican nominee for president. Their son, U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, was killed in Iraq in 2004. Khizr Khan, in his speech to the DNC, lambasted Donald Trump for wanting to temporarily halt Islamic migration to America from countries with a proven history of exporting terrorists.

Since then, Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos—who served as a senior adviser to the president in Bill Clinton’s White House and is a Clinton Foundation donor as well as a host on the ABC network—pushed Trump on the matter in an interview. Trump’s comments in that interview have sparked the same mini-rebellion inside his party, in the media and across the aisle that has happened many times before. The usual suspects inside the GOP, from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to House Speaker Paul Ryan to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to Ohio Gov. John Kasich, have condemned Trump in one way or another. The media condemnation has been swift and Democrats, as well their friends throughout media, are driving the train as fast as they can.

But until now, it looked like the Khans were just Gold Star parents who the big bad Donald Trump attacked. It turns out, however, in addition to being Gold Star parents, the Khans are financially and legally tied deeply to the industry of Muslim migration–and to the government of Saudi Arabia and to the Clintons themselves.

Khan, according to Intelius as also reported by Walid Shoebat, used to work at the law firm Hogan Lovells, LLP, a major D.C. law firm that has been on retainer as the law firm representing the government of Saudi Arabia in the United States for years. Citing federal government disclosure forms, the Washington Free Beacon reported the connection between Saudi Arabia and Hogan Lovells a couple weeks ago.

“Hogan Lovells LLP, another U.S. firm hired by the Saudis, is registered to work for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia through 2016, disclosures show,” Joe Schoffstall of the Free Beacon reported.

The federal form filed with the Department of Justice is a requirement under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, which makes lobbyists and lawyers working on behalf of foreign governments and other agents from abroad with interests in the United States register with the federal government.

The government of Saudi Arabia, of course, has donated heavily to the Clinton Foundation.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given between $10 and $25 million to the foundation while Friends of Saudi Arabia has contributed between $1 and $5 million,” Schoffstall wrote.

I can't think of HRC doing anything political without thinking it out first -- up to and including -- him speaking at the convention. She isn't a rookie politician.

My comments..
As to Mr. Khan....what was his point....that all Muslims are not Jihadi's?
I think we all understand that...all Muslims are not violent nor do they practice full Islam, only the parts they cherry pick. Not all Muslims desire sharia. I wish all Muslims believed as that.

Are we to believe tho, that because Mr. Khans fine son was patriotic that all Muslims are so? Are we to believe from his sons sacrifice that all Muslims are not Islamists? I wish it were so.

The problem tho, that we have experienced, is that it is not so. Maj. Nidal Hassan killed how many of his fellow soldiers in the name of Jihad? Unarmed, waiting in a gym, in a pre deployment event.

How can we differentiate the Khan's from the Hassan's in an immigration venue? Maybe thru a proper vetting process? Is that unreasonable in light of today's events?

This emotional back/forth never really articulates the total issue...it is meant to be simply that.
Emotional non thinking reaction.

Personally, I think he was unwittingly (personally) used as cannon fodder by Clinton to muddy the waters by his taking shots at Trump, his receiving Trumps return fire, and giving her new talking points.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Trump should have let this go. He does not need to respond to everyone he thinks slights him. In the end he will have been his own worst enemy, he needs to focus on the real problem which is HRC

Just wait until he gets the IRS to use as a weapon against his enemies. We've already gotten a taste of that under Obama.
