By: Nathan Smith

Khazir Khan has become the face of Muslim Americans who are challenging Donald Trump's controversial immigration policies.

At the Democratic National Convention, Khan took the stage to speak out against Trump.

"Have you even read the United States Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy," Khan infamously asked, as he pulled a copy of the document out of his breast pocket.

Now, the gold star father is issuing a challenge on Trump's stance.

In an email to the Huffington Post, Khan wrote, "I challenge Trump to take the naturalization test with me any day. His is demagoguery and pandering for vote[s]. A divider like Trump can never be the steward of this country."

The challenge comes in response to Trump's speech in Youngstown, Ohio, where the Republican candidate offered a hardline approach towards vetting visa applicants in the fight against ISIS.

"We should only admit into this country those that share our values and respect our people," Trump said.

"The time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today. I call it extreme, extreme vetting," he added.

Khan responded to Trump's idea of an ideological test, writing "...as Muslim Americans, it is our obligation to keep our country safe. We reject all violence. We support better immigration policies."

Khan became a citizen of the United States after emigrating from Pakistan in 1980.

The Trump camp has yet to respond.
