Stone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>August 1, 2016<\/p>\n<p>On the final night of the Democratic National Convention,\u00a0Khizr Khan, whose Muslim-American son, Army Captain Humayun Khan, 27, died from a suicide bombing in Baghdad in 2004, delivered a passionate\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/videos\/politics\/2016\/07\/29\/dnc-convention-khizr-khan-father-of-us-muslim-soldier-entire-speech-sot.cnn\">appeal<\/a>\u00a0for voters to support Hillary Clinton, and accused Donald Trump of sacrificing &#8220;nothing&#8221; and &#8220;smearing the character&#8221; of religious minorities like his family.\u00a0\u00a0The Khans, a Muslim family, immigrated to the United States from the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>Here are parts of Mr. Khan&#8217;s powerful remarks:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;If it was up to Donald Trump [Humayun] never would have been in America,&#8221; Khan said. \u00a0&#8220;Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims. \u00a0He disrespects other minorities, women, judges, even his own party leadership. \u00a0He vows to build walls and ban us from his country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;You are asking Americans to trust you with our future. \u00a0Let me ask you: \u00a0Have you even read the U.S. Constitution? \u00a0I will gladly lend you my copy.&#8221; \u00a0[He then pulled a copy of the Constitution from his pocket.] \u00a0&#8220;In this document, look for the words &#8216;liberty&#8217; and &#8216;equal protection of law.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;Have you ever been to Arlington Cemetery? \u00a0Go look at the graves of the brave patriots who died defending America &#8212; you will see all faiths, genders, and ethnicities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;You have sacrificed nothing. \u00a0And no one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unlike competitors CNN and MSNBC, Fox News only showed Khan\u2019s speech for two minutes ? without audio, in a small window at the bottom of the screen. \u00a0Instead the network aired commercials, including a Benghazi-themed attack ad against Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with ABC News, this is how Trump reacted to Mr. Khan&#8217;s remarks:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you look at his wife, she was standing there, she had nothing to say. \u00a0Probably maybe she wasn&#8217;t allowed to have anything to say, you tell me, but plenty of people have written that. \u00a0She was extremely quiet and it looked like she had nothing to say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The implication of Trump&#8217;s remark is that Ghazala Khan had not spoken because women are subservient in traditional Islam.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Khan is certainly &#8220;allowed&#8221; to speak. \u00a0She did so on MSNBC, and explained that she couldn&#8217;t speak at the DNC because talking about her son just gets her far too emotional.<\/p>\n<p>Trump even suggested that Clinton wrote the speech. \u00a0Mr. Khan responded that he and his wife had worked on the speech together.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Khan&#8217;s accusation that Trump sacrificed &#8220;nothing,&#8221; he said:\u00a0 &#8220;I think I&#8217;ve made a lot of sacrifices. \u00a0I work very, very hard. \u00a0I&#8217;ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, ten of thousands of jobs&#8221; \u00a0And he added that he donated to help the building of a Vietnam memorial in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s comments on Mr. Khan&#8217;s speech comes on the heels of his past anti-Muslim comments such as\u00a0he would consider requiring Muslim-Americans to register with a government database, or worse, mandating that they carry special identification cards that note their faith. \u00a0This echoes what the\u00a0Nazis had imposed on Jews. \u00a0Trump also said\u00a0he was open to wholesale surveillance of Muslim-Americans and warrantless searches of mosques. \u00a0And he was open to shutting down American mosques, noting he&#8217;d have &#8220;absolutely no choice&#8221; if &#8220;some bad things happen&#8221; in a mosque.\u00a0\u00a0He did back-pedal on his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Trump&#8217;s \u00a0Muslim-bashing plays well with voters. \u00a0In fact, according to\u00a0polling data\u00a0released by the Public Religion Research Institute,\u00a0a majority (56 percent) of Americans say Islamic values are at odds with American values.<\/p>\n<p>The dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims (Islamophobia) is already alive and well in the United States. \u00a0The aftermath of September 11, 2001 terrorist attack and the ISIS directed and inspired attacks around the world, have given rise to a growing Islamophobia in this country and is only fueled by Trump\u2019s Muslim-bashing; it is like throwing gasoline on a smoldering fire.<\/p>\n<p>Muslim-bashing is\u00a0just more of Trump&#8217;s\u00a0divisive style and embrace of white resentment politics and has no place on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the final night of the Democratic National Convention, Khizr Khan delivered a passionate appeal for voters to support Hillary Clinton, and accused Donald Trump of sacrificing &#8220;nothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1230,"featured_media":6225,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,17,205,1316],"tags":[358,2829,122,2828],"class_list":["post-6224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinion","category-politics","category-religion","category-war","tag-dnc","tag-donald-tump","tag-hillary-clinton","tag-khizr-khan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Donald Trump, the Muslim Basher - Fog City Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/6224\/donald-trump-the-muslim-basher\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Donald Trump, the Muslim Basher - Fog City Journal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"On the final night of the Democratic National Convention, Khizr Khan delivered a passionate appeal for voters to support Hillary Clinton, and accused Donald Trump of sacrificing &quot;nothing.&quot;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/6224\/donald-trump-the-muslim-basher\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Fog City Journal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fogcityjournal\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-08-02T01:47:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-10-29T15:06:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/2016\/08\/Khizr_Khan.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"250\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Ralph E.
