Is there a reason why he only picked those specific countries? A lot extremists are usually from Saudi/ Pakistan.Personally, I don't think what he has done is great. But at the same time, I havn't seen anyone present a better solution. The majority of terrorists are Muslims, and so it is hard to argue against the idea that mass muslim immigration ban is probably the most effective method. That's just how it is. If someone comes up with a better, less extreme method of securing borders.. fine, but I don't see one. You only need to look at the EUs open borders and how easily terrorist attacks in France and Germany have been carried out, and then how easy it is for said terrorists to flee...
I feel sorry for the 98% of immigrants trying to get to the US for legit, good reasons. But Trump promised to put Americans first. That's what people voted for. So that's what he's doing. There are plenty of other countries for said people to travel too.
Right now I know Iraq and Syria are a mess with the crazy people living there trying to take over but I don't get why he left those mentioned countries out where the 9/11 attack happened.
Also keep in mind that the attacks that happened in UK recently, I think they were all citizens of those countries, correct me if I'm wrong.
Depends on certain things, but yes. US has more of a problem with domestic non-muslim terrorists than we do.
You see quite a lot of figures trying to prove that Muslims are not the problem, but they take into account terror attacks from pre 2000 where Islam extremism wasn't the issue it is today.
It's hard to talk about this stuff without just sounding anti-islam. But it's nothing to do with it. If all terrorists were white atheists from Germany, i'd want to block immigration from Germany too.
I won't lie, by someone saying that most terrorists are Muslims, it does hurt seeing statements like that.
I try seeing things from the other side and it can certainly seem that way so I won't blame anything for thinking that but then I wonder if there's media to blame for that, the way the portray or show things and how they hide other things that would maybe balance things out showing that they are evil people out there regardless or religion race, and religious unfortunately gets the blame for bad people.
I've looked into statistics and articles but nowadays it's hard believing anything.
Reason I worry about this new ban is how easy it will be for him to start adding countries as he pleases.
I know people that got stuck in the airport who were Citizens and Green card holders, so I'm not sure why they were held at airports.
If you go into history like long long time ago, Muslims dealt with the same extremists who believed their way was right and if no one else followed, you pretty much were dead, a lot of these extremists came from Saudi, Wahabis, not sure if you've heard that term.
These people would take me out if I ever came across them.
Idk what to really say tbh, can we really call those people who are crazy Muslims? we don't believe they are because they go against so many things that make you one.
