When someone says, "This isn't a Muslim ban" ask them...

...Then why is there an exception made to the ban for Christians?

"the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, is further directed to make changes, to the extent permitted by law to prioritize refugee claims made by individuals on the basis of religious-based persecution, provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual's country of nationality. Where necessary and appropriate, the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security shall recommend legislation to the President that would assist with such prioritization."

Although not sure what other religion(s) would be a minority in the countries listed, AND subject tp persecution.
