Our son, Humayun, had dreams of being a military lawyer. But he put those dreams aside the day he sacrificed his life to save 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 are 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!

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 the brave patriots who died defending America – you will see all faiths, genders, and ethnicities.

You have sacrificed nothing. And no one.

—Khizr Khan, father of Army Captain Humayun S.M. Khan, who died in combat, speaking at the Democratic National Convention, pointing out that Donald Trump’s plan to ban all Muslims from immigrating to the Unites States would deprive the country of an American hero. The Muslim Khan family immigrated to the U.S. when Humayun was a boy. Khizr Khan’s rhetoric and flair using a prop was a standout moment from the final night of the Democratic National Convention.
