Read Draft Text Of Trumps Executive Order Limiting Muslim Entry To The U.S.

Source: Huffington Post

Trump’s first few days in the White House have been marked by a chaotic lurching from one issue to another. That drafts of executive orders are circulating and leaking to the press is another mark of early dysfunction.

Trump’s initial campaign promise, that he would ban all Muslims from traveling to the United States, has been dialed back to a blanket ban on all travel from a smaller number of countries. But the focus is still on Muslims. The executive order says that priority will be given in the future to refugees who face religious persecution, “provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual’s country of nationality.” In other words, an exception will be made for non-Muslims in the Middle East, which undercuts the argument that the policy does not target Muslims specifically.

He is totally unfit to have so much power. I think he'll eventually hang himself. Not sure if it'll be literally or figuratively. It could very easily go either way. In Japan, someone like him would have the decency to commit hara-kiri by now.

Is Islam the majority religion in their country? And how is religion defined? Sunni Muslims are clearly the minority in Iraq for example. What about Ahmadis?

This is appalling, so let's get the questions for this answered.

by being far more sympathetic to Israel than to them. Europe is cracking down on Muslim immigration and far right candidates are winning elections at a very alarming rate. Why WOUlD they want to move to the West?
