The father of a fallen Pakistani-American Muslim soldier, whose public spat with Donald Trump won him a lot of support, has attacked the Republican presidential nominee for his divisive rhetoric but expressed satisfaction that "thankfully, this isn't your America".


Khizr Khan (pictured), 66, father of Army Capt. Humayun Khan, hit the campaign trail for the first time along with Hillary Clinton to make an emotional endorsement of the Democratic nominee.


"Donald Trump, would my son, Capt. Humayun Khan, have a place in your America? Would Muslims have a place in your America? Would Latinos have a place in your America? Would African Americans have a place in your America? Would anyone who isn't like you have a place in your America?" he asked.


"Thankfully, Donald Trump, this isn't your America," he added as the crowd in Manchester, New Hampshire roared and applauded in response.


"And on Tuesday we are going to prove America belongs to all of us," said Khan, who has emerged as a national hero particularly among Muslim Americans after his July speech in the Democratic National Convention.
