ISIS Sides With Donald Trump In Smearing The Khizr Khan Family
August 1, 2016

First it was the xenophobes.

Then it was the neo-Nazis.

And now Donald Trump is in sync with ISIS.

ISIS joined Donald Trump on Sunday in dishonoring the sacrifice of U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan.The newest issue of the so-called Islamic State’s propaganda magazine Dabiq said the Muslim war hero died as an “apostate” when he was killed by a car bomb in Iraq in 2004 after ordering soldiers under his command to stand back as he moved forward to investigate the vehicle.

Khan was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. ISIS published a picture of his headstone and captioned it, “Beware of dying as an apostate.”

The terrorist group calls all Muslims who don’t adhere to its narrow ideology apostates and reserves particular ire for those who live and participate in Western democracies. Like ISIS, Trump made the issue Islam instead of Khan.

The only question that remains is what sick group will Donald Trump appeal to next?
