Winston: Mr. Jarrad, there are lingering questions about you.
Ibrahim: These lingering questions have gone against freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and due process of law at the same time. I cannot answer such an un-American question, because I am here in the United States of American, where the Bill of Rights must be respected. Or that anyone can be president, regardless of his color. Perhaps you should read up on the constitution before you come up with your next question. [courtroom applause]
