Quote:To be fair, Mr. Khan merely stated that if it was up to trump, they wouldn't be in this country.  But he also stated that Mr. trump has denigrated several races, ethnicities, and religions.  He then mentions the Constitution and refers to "libery" and "equal protection under law".  

 

So I think you may be twisting the conversation to fit your specific view.

 

The context of Mr. Khans speech goes mainly into the concern of kicking out Muslims, "Mexicans", illegals, and persecuting minority groups.  The extrapolation to closing boarders to religious classes may very well be argued as Constitutional or Un-Constitutional---  But it clearly is anti-American if you believe in liberty and due process under law...

 

But the main point Mr. Khan slams trump on cannot be disputed when you consider trump's position on minority groups and his views of them.

Talk about twisting the conversation to fit your specific view!!


Don't try to tell me the "context" of his speech, I'm reading the man's actual words. Notice that nowhere in his speech does he talk about Trump "kicking out Muslims, "Mexicans", illegals and persecuting minority group". He does however, talk about Muslims being banned FROM the country. Disrespecting minorities, woman, and judges might make him a huge feminine hygiene product, it's not against the law.

So using Mr. Khan's speech, the actual one, not your pretend version of what he said, tell me who is left in it that would need "liberty and equal protection of law".

Quote:Tonight we are honoured to stand here as parents of Captain Humayun Khan and as patriotic American Muslims - with undivided loyalty to our country. Like many immigrants, we came to this country empty-handed. We believed in American democracy; that with hard work and goodness of this country, we could share in and contribute to its blessings.We are blessed to raise our three sons in a nation where they were free to be themselves and follow their dreams.

Our son, Humayun, had dreams too, of being a military lawyer, but he put those dreams aside the day he sacrificed his life to save the lives of his fellow soldiers. Hillary Clinton was right when she called my son 'the best of America'.

If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America. Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims. He disrespects other minorities; women; judges; even his own party leadership. He vows to build walls, and ban us from this country. Donald Trump, you're asking Americans to trust you with their future.

Let me ask you: have you even read the United States constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy. [he pulls it out] In this document, look for the words 'liberty' and 'equal protection of law'.

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.

We cannot solve our problems by building walls, sowing division. We are stronger together. And we will keep getting stronger when Hillary Clinton becomes our President.

In conclusion, I ask every patriot American, all Muslim immigrants, and all immigrants to not take this election lightly.

This is a historic election, and I request to honour the sacrifice of my son - and on election day, take the time to get out and vote.

And vote for the healer. vote for the strongest, most qualified candidate, Hillary Clinton, not the divider. God bless you, thank you.
