The father of a U.S. Muslim soldier who gave his life for his country in Iraq in 2004 ripped into President Donald Trump’s executive order banning Syrian refugees and immigrants from Muslim-majority countries, calling the newly elected president “un-American” Sunday morning.
Appearing on MSNBC with host Joy Reid, Gold Star father Kahzir Khan was unrelenting in his attack on Trump’s executive order effectively excluding Muslims from entering the U.S.
“It must not be lost on you, sir, that the first two refugees to be kept out of this country, to be kept out of the United States by Trump’s executive order are Iraqis who helped U.S. troops during the war,” Reid asked Khan.
“I am so saddened for my country, for my nation, for the country and nation for which we have fought and that we continue to defend,” Khan replied. “I invite Donald Trump and his racist and his Islamophobe coterie to go to the Arlington Cemetery and go to section 60, face all the tombstones there and if they have any shame, any shame at all, they should refrain from this un-American activity, un-American banning of Muslims, patriotic Muslims coming to the United states.”
