First,
Not once in the Executive Order does it state anything about Muslims or the religion of Islam. Also, these are all countries that Obama and past presidents have labeled as highly dangerous and should be warranted as a danger to the US and modern society as a whole. State funded terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, Al Qaeda or Hamas borderline thrive in these nations.
Secondly,
Where was the uproar when Obama temporarily banned many Iraqi refugees from coming to the States for six months in 2011? It is nearly not as big as a policy as Trump's but, it still fits the criteria of "banning Muslims" that people claim is happening.
Not to mention....any other individuals with religious practices not of the Islamic faith living in these temporarily banned countries are not allowed entrance just like any Islamic individual. Any Muslim in India, Indonesia, etc. which by the way, are two of the most populous countries in regards to Islamic followers, are not included in this policy. Clearly this is not a ban on Muslims but rather, a way of reorganizing the US's National Security. It is not the current administration's fault that some of the most dangerous countries in the world have large populations of Islamic followers (not implying that Islam is the reason for this). Places this dangerous should be handled with extreme caution and a ninety day ban is not the end of immigrant freedom in the United States.
This is a regional ban. It is very unfortunate for the people living in those countries but where do you draw the line? National Security is important and there are other methods of helping refugees escape this terrible predicament. For example, setting up peace camps in countries like UAE, Kuwait, Turkey, Jordan, etc. The United Nations and other teams and organizations should and have been on top of this.
I am not against helping refugees by any means but, what Trump is doing is not an attack on anything Islamic or any religion for that matter. Read the damn Executive Order and think about why he is doing this. He and everyone else in the field of National Security and Intelligence work that are going through with this are not stupid. These places are extremely dangerous and this is a matter of reorganizing the vetting and security sector which have been working on overload this past decade. This is not a hate on immigrants and in particular, Muslims. Think.
Think and do not organize your thoughts of off the news. And by news I mean Fox, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, Breitbart, New York Times or any others. Research and find the information outside of these ruinous corporations; it is out there.
Thank you for reading
Sincerely,
Vardar
