[frazzled]

It has been these ordinary citizens telling their stories that has been the most compelling and the most inspiring. I am so in awe of the American people this week.

The Khans are amazing.

[Siwsan]

Probably the most powerful speaker, yet.

[procon]

THIS IS AMERICA, not you sheet wearing stars and bars weaving idiots.

31. +1,000,000

[Warren DeMontague]

28. That was just.. Yeah.

[GOLGO 13]

30. Quite powerful reminder of why we need to win.

[Mosby]

32. Too bad he didn't let his wife say anything

I guess that would be asking too much.

[athena]

34. Maybe she didn't want to speak.

Don't make assumptions about people you don't know. Most Muslim men may be male chauvinists, but that doesn't mean this specific man is. All indications are that he is a good man who cares about his country.

A true fundamentalist Muslim wouldn't have let his wife go on the stage at all. Her hair and neck wouldn't be showing, and she wouldn't have makeup on. These people are clearly not fundamentalists.

[Mosby]

35. maybe so

And maybe their decision not to have her speak was influenced by the highly misogynistic, patriarchal culture they were both born into.

Who knows.

[athena]

36. All cultures are highly misogynistic and patriarchal.

Should we read something into the actions of every male speaker who didn't have his wife speak in his place?

We were all born into a culture and society that see women as second-class citizens inferior in every way to men. Indeed, visiting DU on any given day will provide multiple examples of this. I am betting that this man is a lot less misogynistic and a much kinder person than many -- perhaps most -- of the people on DU.

It is really offensive to assume that someone is a male chauvinist because of his religion. Such assumptions and statements go against the ideals that were expressed and celebrated at the convention.

[uponit7771]

40. She didn't, she said on Lawrence show that she was already broken up before going out

[athena]

42. Thank you for setting the record straight.

I somehow felt that she was not being silent against her will.

[uponit7771]

43. thx ...She's not, he praises her on Lawrence show... gives credit to her for the words and this man

... and his wife is a patriot... he's pleading with McConnel to speak up and say something for the sake of the country... he sounds VERY well versed in

Captain Khan is well survived... I pray his parents are comforted.

[IronLionZion]
