Good luck in finding that..
And if you don't find it, please plan to return here & state that you were misinformed & thus wrong in your accusation.
Then I may rep you for accountability which I admire when people admit their error.
To paraphrase the quote from the old Dragnet show, just the facts please...
French for, I won't accept any source.
“All other juridical works which have been written during more than thirteen centuries are very rich and indispensable, but they must always be subordinated to the Shari’ah and open to reconsideration by all Muslims.” - Khizr Khan
Will you accept his own words?
Hey Alter8, looks like it is YOU that needs to admit you were mistaken!!!!
Regardless of how you feel about the number of question marks used in the response, the fact remains that they never blamed Trump for the death of their son. His response to Trump was strictly about they way he speaks about Mulsims in America as if they arent really americans.
Just like the rest of the left you are choosing to ignore he said, "those coming from terrorist countries should be put on hold." He did come forward and clarified is statement. Mr. Khan is an immigrant lawyer, this would cripple his pocketbook. Its obvious how many of you agree with over populating our country with non-Americans!
Yes, it does matter when someone uses 15 question marks to ask a question.....I don't enjoy someone thinking they are superior in a debate and that is what it was showing. You may appreciate superiority from others, I don't!

Would you mind taking a moment to actually explain how my response, or anyone on the left, ignores your quote ?
Trump defined terrorist nations as any of those that included ISIS or government hostile to the U.S. At one point his website actually had a list.
Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia.
He also stated that after Orlando, if he had been president in the 80's there is no way he would have allowed those families in who were from those countries.
The Khans are from Pakistan.
By saying that, he is inadvertantly saying that he wouldnt have allowed the Khans in , and that their son's sacrifice meant nothing as he wasnt really an american and shouldnt have been here in the first place.

This is simply a difference of opinion on the 2 of us, but I dont think anyone who has ever put multiple question marks has ever done so as a show of superiority. It seems that it is more a marker of disbelief.
When someone says 90% of liberals never heard of Gold Star families, which implies that liberals do not serve in the armed forces, they are wrong. I see the poster I was replying to has not returned to defend himself because he CAN'T!
You have taken my post out of context. That post WAS an attack on my relatives and any liberals who served in the military. My relatives are liberals but they are not dim-witted and have served this country well.
You?
Thank you to your relatives for their service to this country! They should be respected regardless of race, gender, religion, or their political orientation. The majority of people are grateful and you have every right to challenge and confront those that are not IMO. I doubt you will get the apology you deserve, but I am confident the majority of posters on this thread support you and your relatives.
Kudos to you for standing up for your relatives who proudly served our country!
BTW, I tried to rep you but the attempt was blocked. Will keep trying.

"Nonpartisan" has always been an English language word by my understanding, but nice bit of opening deflection there..
I also noticed that the 2 sites you linked here were not at all "nonpartisan" but rather rightwing sites.
Specifically your Daily Caller is site well-known as a crack pot/conspiracy site. Right wing is (or left wing for that matter) far enough from the "nonpartisan" standard I requested of you but seriously.. a crackpot site is what you linked us to?
Honestly, I'm embarrassed for you that you are not aware of what is nonpartisan & what isn't.
Additionally, you apparently did not CAREFULLY read/study what was claimed at the 2 links you supplied here in addition to the other links contained within them... did you? Go find those other contained links & don't ignore them.
If you had read everything carefully & gone to those extra links, you would have realized that Khizr Khan was not advocating on behalf of Sharia law in the U.S. He is a legal scholar & Sharia is a legal system, among other things, in many Moslem countries. As such, it can be seen in your links that his writings as a scholar studied what constitutes the amalgamation & evolutionary growth of Sharia law over the centuries (over 13 centuries).
In those links, there is NO DISCUSSION of Sharia tenets of law versus other non-Muslim law systems, whether they be Judaic, Christian or U.S. law specifically. Instead, it was an entirely-Sharia specific study of how Sharia law grew & which parts of it came from the life time of Mohammed and were thus the real & bonafide basis for Sharia.
You have without reading carefully, accepted on blind faith what both Frank Gaffney & the author at The Daily Caller told you he was saying without reading for yourself to see if their interpretations were true or false.
Your source "scholars", Mr. Gaffney & the author at The Daily Caller have embarrassed themselves in their writings & interpretations of Mr. Khan's studies. Apparently they only made cursory research & were unable to understand the jist of his academic/scholarly writings.
It's most unfortunate that they were unable to tell the difference between pure advocacy of Sharia law on one hand versus the study & discussion of the origins of Sharia law on the other hand. There's a huge difference.
Think in terms of you or me writing a college term paper on Hitler's Mein Kampf. The opinion neutral writing of such a paper by you or me would not in and of itself be an advocacy on behalf of Hitler's ideals but would rather be a study of them.
And in conclusion, I can't post links here at work from behind my office firewall so tonight I will come back here & post a transcript of an interview with Mr. Khan where he very specifically spoke as to his view of why Sharia law would not work in the U.S.
This is simply a difference of opinion on the 2 of us, but I dont think anyone who has ever put multiple question marks has ever done so as a show of superiority. It seems that it is more a marker of disbelief.
Yes, absolutely! I don't understand why someone would think multiple question marks or even exclamation points denotes superiority.
To me, it's the equivalent of pulling my hair out over the density of a poster's brain!

We are at war, although those on the left forget. Until our soldiers come home and the war has ended, I see no sense in bringing people here. Bring our soldiers home before committing to immigration from the ME.
Pakistan has long been the main staging ground and planning centre for Islamic terrorists operating in South Asia. After the launch of Operation Enduring Freedom, thousands of terrorists were either killed or driven out of Afghanistan, with the survivors taking refuge in Pakistan. Pakistan's military and its secret spy service; Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) have been training and funding several terrorist groups operating in Afghanistan and India, including the decades long terrorism campaign in Indian Kashmir and the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai. The links have long been clear, given that the Pakistani terrorist groups operate in plain sight and have a very distinct Afghan and Indian focus. The massive leak of U.S. Intelligence data on the Wikileaks website further showed the complicity of the Pakistani state with terrorist groups, used to establish a (false) state of deniability. New York Times journalist Carlotta Gall has written a book that further delves into the Pakistani state's deep involvement with terrorism in Afghanistan. The former Canadian ambassador to Afghanistan and minister, Chris Alexander has made a similar assertion calling Pakistan a state sponsor of terrorism.

Would this pertain to you;Six Common Punctuation Errors that Bedevil Bloggers - Copyblogger - Unless you want to sound like an overly emotional teenager writing on MySpace, you should limit yourself to one exclamation point, regardless of how excited you might be when writing that sentence. The same applies to question marks and to the ellipsis (which should have only three dots). Also, keep in mind that exclamation points are not used that frequently in business and formal writing. If your text is loaded with them, you probably should review it.
Or maybe this fits you and I should have used angry person; 11 Punctuation Marks That Give Your Text Messages Secret Meanings - 11 Points
The exclamation point is the most valuable punctuation mark you have in your arsenal, but it's also the most dangerous. Because when you start overusing it, you look like an overeager, un-confident amateur.
I would say from the description above, is the superiority & density in your brain.
