I have observed that a number of people who have completed the naturalization process are better versed in basic principles of American government than native born citizens. Moreover, I can say without a tenth of the vanity displayed by Trump, that a lawyer has a much better chance of being familiar with the Constitution than a real estate tycoon. From my reading of the First Amendment, it is reasonable to conclude that a blanket restriction of rights based on one's religious faith is unconstitutional. Indeed, it is unreasonable to conclude otherwise.

And, by the way, this was the point of Khan's speech. He was not assigning blame for the death of his son. He was demonstrating that in a pluralistic society such as ours, people of all faiths contribute to the general good. His son's contribution was the ultimate sacrifice.
