At least, this is very well written in plain language following simple logic, probably a sign of confidence.
Considering actions, the son could be taken as a realistic Muslim. Guess people could believe that they are the majority (of a religion which has survived over 1000 years). Those selected few sitting on top of the pyramid and trying to make use of the situation might have questionable intentions in riding the horses.

An open letter to Mr. Khizr Khan
Dear Mr. Khan,
I, like millions of Americans saw your speech at the DNC on Thursday night.
I wish to offer my sympathy for the death of your son, Captain Humayun Khan,
who was killed in action in Iraq.
As a former US Army officer, and a veteran of the Gulf War, I can certainly
understand the pain and anguish that you and your wife endure every day.
Your son died saving the lives of his fellow soldiers. As Jesus told his
disciples, according to the Gospel of John, Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Captain Khan is a hero. I am sure the soldiers he served with regard him as
one. I know you and your wife do. Rest assured that millions of veterans
regard your son as a hero as well.
To paraphrase from the Book of Ecclesiasticus, your son’s name liveth for
evermore.
Your son made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, a country that was new
to you and your family and one which you openly embraced and certainly love.
When you and your family arrived to America from Pakistan, you assimilated
into our country. You adopted American ways, learned our history and
apparently you even acquired a pocket Constitution along the way. Good for
you sir.
But, there are many Muslims in America who not only have no desire to
assimilate, but wish to live under Sharia Law.
That is unacceptable to Americans. There is only one law of the land. That
is the U.S. Constitution.
As you well know, Mr. Khan, we live in violent times, dangerous times.
Muslim madmen from ISIS and other radical Jihadi groups are on a murder and
terror spree across the globe.
Your religion of peace, Islam, is anything but that in 2016. That is a fact
that is confirmed every time a Muslim shoots, bombs, beheads and tortures
innocent men, women and children. This does not mean that every Muslim is a
terrorist, but most terrorists, sir, are indeed Muslims.
A Muslim terrorist attack has become the sign of the times.
Regardless of what the feckless, naïve, leftist ideologue Barack Obama
and his dimwitted colleagues John Kerry, Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel
state, the United States and the West are at war with Radical Islam. It is
the job of the president of the United States to protect his nation from all
enemies; foreign and domestic. Unfortunately, Mr. Obama romanticizes Islam
and refuses to accept reality, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands
of innocent people across the world.
Groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda have one goal, the complete destruction of the
Judeo-Christian culture, our religions and our way of life.
Many Americans have families that have been here for decades, even centuries
. Many families like mine have relatives who fought in the Civil War, WWI,
WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm. Some families have relatives who
fought in the American Revolution.
We don’t plan on letting our country be devoured by Muslim maniacs. We are
Americans sir, and not unarmed, socialist European zombies. We will do what
is necessary to protect the United States. While many Democrats and liberals
see the world through rose colored glasses, conservatives understand that
there is good and evil in this world. Evil must be destroyed before it
destroys us.
Strong measures, wartime measures, must be taken to protect this country
from those that wish to annihilate us and our way of life.
Mr. Trump’s plan to temporarily halt immigration from Muslim countries that
are known to either support terrorism or harbor terrorist groups is not
only pragmatic, but indeed it is constitutional. It is the constitutional
duty of the president of the United States to protect this nation.
There is simply no way to vet hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees from
war zones like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Europe is being destroyed because reckless leaders like Angela Merkel have
opened the continent’s doors to a flood of over one million undocumented
Muslims arriving with nothing more than a bad attitude and a haversack of
Jihad.
Do you think Americans are stupid? While the left lives in a dream world,
the right does not. Mr. Trump understands the threat to his nation and the
threat, sir, is not from Swedish Lutherans named Anna and Lars. The threat,
sir, is from radical Islam.
How in God’s name are U.S. immigration authorities supposed to know the
true intentions of a 22-year-old Syrian man? It is impossible. You know it
is impossible.
How in God’s name are U.S. immigration authorities supposed to know the
true intentions of hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees and thousands of
other sundry Muslims who wish to arrive on our shores?
It is impossible. You know it is impossible.
Whether you, your wife, the Muslim world and millions of Democrats are
offended by Mr. Trump’s realistic view of the world is irrelevant.
Whether you, your wife and son would have been prohibited from emigrating
from Pakistan to America under Mr. Trump’s wartime plan is irrelevant. The
security of this great land supersedes your desires and the desires of
others who wish to come here now. The United States of America has no
obligation to open its doors in order to placate foreigners and liberals in
our government.
To adopt any other course but Mr. Trump’s would be a cause for further
endangering the lives of Americans every day. That, sir, is unacceptable.
You attacked Mr. Trump in front of a worldwide audience, yet you can’t
understand the fact that he defends himself against attacks from you,
Hillary Clinton and the left. What else is one to do sir?
We must live in a world of reality, not a world of denial, delusion and
fantasy the Democrats inhabit every waking day of their lives.
Radical Islam is the enemy of everyone on this planet who believes in
freedom and justice. Until it is destroyed, this nation must protect itself
from enemies both foreign and domestic.
Sincerely,
Ray Starmann
