As the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump continues to ramp up his rhetoric concerning the Muslim ban in America, Democrats are hoping to shut down his message of hate and bigotry.
And how they are doing it? By showcasing and highlighting the struggles and sacrifices of the countless loyal, patriotic and All-American Muslim families.
One of those Muslim families happens to be a Pakistani-American one. And yesterday, they shut down Trump’s message of xenophobia and hate in the most dignified way.
The Tale of Captain Humayun Khan, US Army Captain
Yesterday night, at the Democratic National Convention for Hillary Clinton, one Pakistani-American family’s tale of grief and tragedy stole the limelight, shifting the conversation to the immense contribution made by Muslims in America.
Mr. Khizr Khan and his wife were invited to speak at the DNC event in Philadephia.
At the podium, they shared the tale of the heroic sacrifice made by their son Captain Humayun S M Khan. Captain Humayun was killed in 2004 when a suicide bomber struck his infantry unit. He ended up saving the lives of his fellow armymen.
He was one of the 14 American soldiers who died serving their country.
