Losing a loved one, a son, is very hard especially for a mother. I have a great deal of sympathy for Mrs.Khan. What I find difficult to understand is that after 12 years of grieving Mrs. Khan could not find enough composure to add a few words to her husbands speech.
No one needs to convince me that the majority of American Muslims are law-abiding and decent; part of my extended family includes the sister of my brother's wife -- married to an Iranian engineer who was caught in the madness of the "Khomeini days". She and her two sons, subteens at the time, stayed on my family's dairy farm during those times, and fortunately, the gentleman was able to leave and the family reunited.
Nearly thirty-five years have passed, and the two boys have done well for themselves; their story is likely typical. But if a stronger stance among the majority of non-Islamic Americans who have not been exposed to such instances is necessary to convince American Muslims to (publicly!) stand up to the most irrational practices, and liquidate the relatively small, but unknown number of hostiles among their own -- so be it.

All this arguing back and forth about who is in the "right" is completely missing the point.
It's politics. This kind of baiting happens ALL. THE. TIME. Benghazi mom, anybody?
The fact that Trump responded SO defensively and offensively and just won't let it go says everything the electorate needs to know about him. He does not have the temperament to be President. Period. What happens when Putin insults him? A twitter war from Trump? Is that who you really want representing this country? Good god.
Mr Kahn is using his son for political gain. Kahn is an idiot.
So by that same token of logic, will you agree that Benghazi Mom Pat Smith is using her son for political gain and that she's an idiot?
