Khizr Khan Challenges Donald Trump to Take U.S. Naturalization Test
In the wake of Trump offering a new ideological test to conduct “extreme vetting” on potential immigrants, Khan is speaking out once more.
The father of a fallen Muslim-American soldier should not have expected a “free ride” after criticizing Donald TrumpDonald TrumpBoston Globe editorial: Shut down Clinton Foundation if Hillary wins GOP lawmakers question Manafort’s Ukraine work Perry: Khizr Khan shouldn’t have expected “free ride” MORE at the Democratic National Convention, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Tuesday. “A divider like Trump can never be the steward of this country”, Khan told the Huffington Post in an email.
Mr Khan, who became a U.S. citizen after emigrating from Pakistan in 1980 and now lives with his wife Ghazala in Virigina, condemned the plan. “We must make it safe ― as Muslim Americans it is our obligation to keep our country safe”.
“I challenge Trump to take the naturalization test with me any day. We reject all violence”, he wrote. His is demagoguery and pandering for vote. Their son, Captain Humayun Khan, was killed in combat during a tour of duty in Iraq in 2004. “We were for a better America, ‘” Khan says in the video.
Regarding previous criticisms from Khan, Trump had tweeted about the family and made Islamophobic comments regarding Ghazala Khan. “We stand as a testament to assimilation and being part of patriotic America as anyone else”. We love our Gold Star families.
Just last week, Trump’s NY campaign co-chairman Carl Paladino said Trump didn’t need to refer to Khan as a “Gold Star parent” because he is “a member of the Muslim Brotherhood”. Trump surrogates like Katrina Pierson and Corey Lewandowski have lambasted the Khan family on CNN, and even the Republican nominee himself has engaged the pair during interviews and speeches.
